EBRR Posting Time

[Valdezate]

Hello All,

I am trying to understand EBRR Postings.

In example:

We post time (RKL Transaction) as Consultant Books 1 Hour as cost rate 50 EUR and Price 60 EUR. Now system will post TBRR transaction corresponds to revenue recognition postings generated by the system according to the Event Based Revenue Recognition double journal principle.

CATS	RKL	DR Activity Allocation – Project Cr Activity Allocation - Cost Center	50 € 50 €
CATS	TBRR	DR WIP Accrued Revenue (BS Account) CR Revenue Adjustments (P&L account)	60 € 60 €

Now as per system we get posting against GL 94308000 for Time as secondary cost and TBRR entry is CR 13711100(WIP Accrued Revenue) and DR 44401100 (Revenue Adjustment).

13711900# WIP Unbilled Revenue

to

44401100# Rev Adj

This posting is not fine for my customer (we are implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public), and we are working with customer projects from Professional Services module, and Fixed Price projects and SPFC - Fix Price Cost Based POC (Default) (realize revenue based on actual costs).

SAP is mapping to the following accounts as the Spanish chart of accounts:

3316000000# WIP Unbilled Revenue

to

7085444100# Income Adjustment

But for the Spanish GAAP 331# account is for “product in progress” it means stock (Current Asset > Stock - “Activo Corriente > Existencias”), so my customer would be expecting the account 485# related to advance income (Current liability > Short Accruals - “Pasivo Corriente > Periodificaciones a Corto”).

Being our assignment rule COSTPOC, which posting rule would be the one for this example:

1. Source YR1 and Usage 100
2. Source YR1 and Usage 103

What should be the solution to cover our customer requirement:

i – To change the settings of the accounts at “Assign Source and Posting Rules”?

ii – To change the alternative account that is set up as alternative account of the account 13711900# “WIP Unbilled Revenue”, substituting at the alternative account for the Spanish GAAP 3316000000# “WIP Unbilled Revenue” by 4850000000 as “Advance Income”

iii – Or perhaps is there a different solution?

Thanks in advance,

Almudena

Hi Almudena,

You can define any accounts as the EBRR posting accounts.

Change the setting of assignment rule configuration.

Owen,

First, thank you very much about your answer.

But what is your point of view about the following possibility:

"...ii – To change the alternative account that is set up as alternative account of the account 13711900# “WIP Unbilled Revenue”, substituting at the alternative account for the Spanish GAAP 3316000000# “WIP Unbilled Revenue” by 4850000000 as “Advance Income”..."

Many thanks in advance,

Almudena

Hi Almudena, I still don't understand what these accounts are currently being used for: 3316000000# WIP Unbilled Revenue to 7085444100# Income Adjustment. Could you please elaborate on the same? Thanks & Best Regards,
