Accounting indicators are utilized for pricing and controlling purposes. For example, they can be used to determine if a service is under warranty or in goodwill scenarios. In this blog, we'll focus on accounting indicators for discounts based on customer groups, where the discount may vary between private customers and government customers. As mentioned earlier, the use of accounting indicators can vary depending on different business scenarios.
Let's discuss how to achieve this in the SAP S/4HANA On-Premise system.
- Create accounting indicators
Path: SPRO-> Service-> Transactions-> Setting for service transactions->Define Accounting Indicators.
2. Condition Types for Accounting Indicators
Before creating condition types, generate a condition table with number “901”that combines accounting indicators and utilize this table in the access sequence “ZACI”. Please find the image for the reference.
And the access sequence as below.
Create two condition types, ZPCD and ZGCD, with 'Discount' as the condition class and assign access sequence ZACI.
3. Condition Record
In VK11 Tcode, maintain condition records for ZPCD and ZGCD. The discount amount can vary depending on business requirements.
When creating a service order, select the service item and choose the corresponding accounting indicators based on the customer group. This selection will automatically display the respective condition type. For instance, selecting private customers as accounting indicators will show ZPCD condition type, as illustrated in the image below.
The concept is straightforward yet pivotal in pricing and controlling aspects. Additionally, according to business requirements, it's possible to capture these costs in a GL account by maintaining the Account key associated with the condition type in the pricing procedure.
