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,
