SAP S/4HANA Finance
Local currency: ACDOCA field name = HSL, currency type 10 ledger-dependent
Global currency: ACDOCA field name = KSL, currency type of controlling area
Freely Defined Currencies 1–8
– You can configure any currency type.
– There is no dependency on the currency types of the leading ledger.
– ACDOCA fieldnames OSL, VSL, BSL, CSL, DSL, ESL, FSL, and GSL.
If you activate parallel valuations with transfer prices, then additional rules/constraints apply.
Legal perspective looks at the transactions from the point of view of the affiliated companies
including markups
Group valuation looks at the whole group eliminating markups (that is, intercompany profits)
Profit center valuation treats profit centers as if they were independent companies, using
negotiated prices
SAP ERP had three perspectives, but the solution had significant short-comings.
SAP S/4HANA Finance, OP 1605 now delivers these capabilities, but with a much more streamlined, consistent approach in the universal
journal. In earlier releases of SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Finance only legal valuation was supported.
Account-Based CO-PA
Significant enhancements delivered – closing critical gaps of the past and providing new real-time insight
Split of cost-of-goods-sold posting on multiple accounts (by cost component)
Split of production variances posting on multiple accounts (differentiation of price/quantity effects)
Three new quantity fields in the line items and BAdI for conversion of logistic quantities to common quantities
(for example, products sold in different box sizes—but KPI in Finance is calculated on tons/KG of products)
Real-time derivation of market segment information from cost postings (cost center, order, and WBS element)
Costing-Based CO-PA
Product continues to exist and be supported, but no enhancements with SAP Accounting
Customers can run account-based and costing-based CO-PA in parallel
Existing customers should assess if account-based CO-PA can cover their needs
If yes, consider switching to account-based CO-PA. If no, continue using costing-based CO-PA.
