Walk away from this session with an understanding of design and configuration changes in Controlling with S/4HANA.

Presenter will share important design and configuration changes in Controlling with S/4HANA, including: Cost Element part of G/L Account; Account Based Profitability Analysis; Material Ledger mandatory; Cost of Goods Sold by cost component; Production variances by category

• In ECC, Cost Elements are created within Controlling module; with S/4HANA Finance, Cost Elements are now part of G/L Account.

• In ECC, Costing-based CO-PA has several advantages over Account-based CO-PA and had therefore been a preferred choice for majority of the clients; with S/4HANA Finance, most limitations of Account-based CO-PA have been addressed.

• In ECC, Material Ledger is optional, which includes Actual Costing functionality which calculates Actual Cost / Periodic Unit Price; with S/4HANA Material Ledger is mandatory (Price Determination 2 – Transaction-based); but Actual Costing is still optional (Price Determination 3 – Single-/Multilevel).

• In ECC, costing-based CO-PA allows visibility of various cost components in profitability reports, but in FI, only one line item is visible for COGS; with S/4HANA’s account-based CO-PA, different cost components can be mapped to multiple general ledger accounts.

• In ECC, all production variances are bundled and posted to one price difference (PRD-PRF) account; analysis of variances is carried using Controlling reports; with S/4HANA, variances can be posted to different G/L accounts.
