Actual Costs of Service Contract

[ISoma]

Hi Expaert！

I have a question about the Estimated Profitability tab of the Service Contract.

When are the Actual Costs in the Estimated Profitability tab recorded (reflected)?

Hello,

The Actual Costs in the Estimated Profitability tab of the Service Contract are recorded once the costs from the service confirmations that are assigned to the service contract occur. This includes costs and expenses directly related to the service operations outlined within the contract. It's important to note that the cost KPI usually presents a negative value, indicating the expenses incurred.

For a detailed explanation of the financial KPIs, including Actual Costs, and how they're recorded in the service contracts, you can refer to the following additional resources:

This link provides comprehensive details on how financial data, including Actual Costs, is managed and displayed within service contracts in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
