Special item "P+L result" in Financial Statement Version

[Former Member]

Dear SAP expert,

I am new in SAP ERP. Now I am setting for FSV.

I create seperate FSV for BS and PL report.

For the PL report, I create item and assign all PL account to items. And set the "P+L result" as the Net Profit/Loss, because in my opinion, this item will be calculated base on the balance of all P+L account, so this item will be equal to Net Profit/Loss.

But I use T-code S_ALR_87012284 to test the FSV. The "P+L result" show the amount = -1,048,391.95 (this mean we have profit); but the correct figure should be = 1,048,391.95 (possitive amount, mean we have loss).

Please help me explain how the "P+L result" is calcualated; and how I change the setting so this items show the correct amount.  

Thank and regards

Hi Tung Lu,

To change the sign of P+L Result, double click on the "P+L Result", a new dialog box opesn, you could find the "+/- Sign change" in the bottom of the dialog box. Please select the option to change the sign..

Hope this helps.

Dear Sriganesh Ram,

Thank for your advice. I tried change this "+/- Sign change" indicator, but when I run S_ALR_87012284, the "P+L result" still show the same amount. And I check in F1 help for this indicator, it said that: "... It does not effect the program RFBILA00", so I think T-code S_ALR_87012284 do not take effect from this indicator.

Could you help me check that.

Thank and best regards

Dear Tung Luu,

Yes, you are correct. The T.code S_ALR_87012284 calls the program RFBILA00 and hence the indicator does not have effect on this program. However, the indicator has effect on the drill down reports (for ex. S_ALR_87012249) which is useful for playing around with various FI characteristics.

Also, the drill down reporting can be customized under SPRO ->Financial Accounting (New) -> General Accounting (New) ->Information Systems ->Drilldown reporting.

Please check and let me know the feedback.

Thank,

Hi Tung,

Your understanding is wrong. If the report is showing the P&L result as negative, then it is a loss else it is a profit.

Hi Mukthar,

That mean, for item "P+L result", systems will sum the balance of P+L account and change the +/- sign of the total. Do I understand correct?

If it is correct, how could I change setting to make the "P+L result" show the loss in possitive amount and vice versa.

Thank and best regard

Hi Tung,

It is not changing the sign of the total. But it is changing the result of income-expense. It is a standard behavior of the system. However, you can check with your ABAP team to check for any modification for the program.
