### 3.9.1.5 Sales Accounting

> 📄 FSD Reference: p71

**业务背景 (Business Background)**:
This application area enables you to analyze the profitability of your market segments and single cost objects. It shows event-based contribution margins and offers detailed views for further analysis.

You can analyze market segments by product, product group, customer, customer group, and sales organization.

**核心功能 (Key Features)**:

| 功能 (Feature) | 说明 (Use / Description) |
|---------------|------------------------|
| **Event-Based profitability** | We provide event-based profitability analysis for customer projects and sales order items. The profitability data is taken from event-based revenue recognition based on market segment attributes such as Customer, Customer Group, Product, Product Group, or Sales Organization. You can use this information to support your internal accounting and decision-making. |
| **Profitability reporting based on journal entries** | Market segment attributes are part of journal entries. For every posting on a project, we add the market segment attributes of the assigned sales order item to the G/L line items. This makes it possible to provide the margin not only for the customer project but also for a market segment such as Customer. The market segment attributes are also available for balance sheet line items, which allows you to drill down by market segment in your WIP reporting. |
| **Event-based revenue recognition** | Event-based revenue recognition posts recognized revenue for every cost posting on customer projects and sell-from-stock orders. Event-based revenue recognition can be enabled to support multiple-element arrangements. The transaction price for a multiple-element arrangement is allocated to the performance obligations based on standalone selling prices. |
| **Enhanced reporting for customer projects** | Additional attributes are available for margin drilldown for customer projects: The Origin Profit Center describes the supporting profit center; The Resource indicates whether the assigned employee is from your company, an affiliated company, or a sub-contractor. You can analyze the work in process resulting from revenue recognition by project and market segment. |
| **Overhead allocation to profitability** | You can allocate your overhead costs from cost centers to market segments using a periodic run. |
| **Realignment with master data** | The market segment attributes for postings related to customer projects are usually event-based, including revenue recognition data. If changes are made to master data after posting, the data may need to be reassigned using the realignment function. Realignment can also be used to enrich profitability data with information that was not known at the time of the original posting. |
| **Plan data import** | You can import financial plan data including assigned profitability attributes. You can perform plan/actual analyses based on these data. |
| **Journal Entries for Statistical Sales Conditions** | Journal entries for statistical pricing conditions in customer invoices can be posted to an extension ledger in Financial Accounting to enhance information relevant for management reporting in Finance. |

### 3.9.1.6 Predictive Accounting

> 📄 FSD Reference: p72

**业务背景 (Business Background)**:
Predictive accounting helps you to predict future results using the data from documents, such as sales orders, before actual journal entries are created for them in Finance. You can use the predictive journal entries for these source documents in your analysis and reporting to get a better understanding of what your financial results might look like, at the end of the current period or quarter, and why.

**核心功能 (Key Features)**:

| 功能 (Feature) | 说明 (Use / Description) |
|---------------|------------------------|
| **Predictive analysis of incoming sales orders** | You can use this feature to perform an analysis of the predicted margins for incoming sales orders. This analysis is based on predictive journal entries for goods issues and billing documents using the most up-to-date sales order data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition or from an external system. Predictive accounting then allows you to analyze presumed profits, based on incoming sales orders. In addition, it considers actual values and their effects on reducing the respective predicted values. |
| **Predictive analysis of travel requests** | SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition supports the integration with a travel management system (currently SAP Concur) to calculate predictions based on travel request data. When a travel management system is integrated and provides travel request data, you can use this feature to perform an analysis of the impact of travel expenses on your planned budget. |
| **Predictive analysis of service contracts** | You can use this feature to perform an analysis of predicted revenue for service contracts. This analysis is based on predictive journal entries for revenue recognition and billing using the most up-to-date service contract data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. |
| **Predictive management of commitments** | You can use this feature to predict the impact of a current purchase on your current budget and future expenses, starting when a purchase requisition or purchase order that is assigned to a cost center or WBS element is created in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. You can then analyze the impact of the commitments in accounting and the effects of actual values from follow-on documents. |

**核心功能 (Key Features)**:

| 功能 (Feature) | 说明 (Use / Description) |
|---------------|------------------------|
| **Master Data** | You can manage master data for profit centers, profit center groups and G/L accounts. If you specify profit centers in postings, you can create a profit and loss statement (P&L) for profit centers and a financial statement for internal purposes. G/L account master data defines how business transactions are posted on G/L accounts and how the posting data is processed. The directory of all G/L accounts is the chart of accounts. |
| **Postings and Journal Entries** | You use journal entries to reflect business transactions. You can manage open items by reversing or clearing open items. You can create recurring entries for journal entries that are repeated regularly. |
| **Closing Operations and Reporting** | For closing operations at period-end closing, you can use the programs available for analyzing, valuating, reclassifying, and validating journal entries. To perform valuation runs and other closing tasks in parallel using different accounting principles, you can use separate ledgers that have different accounting principles assigned. Using Accruals Management, you can post expenses in the period in which they are incurred or probably will be incurred. With these closing operations, you create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement (P&L). Audit functions provide access to various reports and transactions you need for the audit process. There are different programs available for sales/purchases tax declarations and tax payable postings. For certain countries/regions, time-dependent tax calculation is available. SAP recommends using only certified providers for the external tax calculation process. |

**⚠ 限制与注意事项 (Constraints / Notes)**:
⊙ The internal tax calculation in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, and any reporting based on this calculation, may not meet all of the reporting requirements in your jurisdiction due to the specifics of the tax law system in the United States. You must check with your accounting or tax experts in order to make sure that the results generated by this report are fully compliant with your relevant jurisdictions' specific sales and use tax reporting requirements.

⊙ Customers using the external tax calculation in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and using the partner integration are responsible for aligning directly with their chosen tax partner on matters such as pricing and on deciding the scope of services that they require of their tax partner. Customers must license the tax partner solution directly and then deploy the necessary integration flows on the SAP CPI before using the external tax solution in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Under this arrangement, tax calculation and tax reporting are performed by your tax partner.

### 3.9.8.3 Contract Accounting

> 📄 FSD Reference: p114

**业务背景 (Business Background)**:
Contract Accounting receives and manages large posting volumes, for example, created by billing processes, and uploads these postings to the general ledger.

The software has been tailored towards the requirements of corporates across all industries and lines of business with high volumes of customers, subscriptions, and pay-per-use transactions. The processes provided with Contract Accounting are highly flexible to allow for a maximum of automation, as well as ensuring outstanding system performance and scalability.

The collection process fully automates routine tasks such as the calculation of interest payments.

**核心功能 (Key Features)**:

| 功能 (Feature) | 说明 (Use / Description) |
|---------------|------------------------|
| **Posting of documents to enter business transactions** | Postings are always saved in document format. Postings are usually generated automatically by the corresponding business processes or by invoicing. When a document is posted, accounts are determined automatically for G/L Accounting. All receivables, revenue and expense accounts are automatically determined based on account assignment details in the line items. |
| **Payment processing** | The various business processes for payments provided can be classified as: Automatic payment by your company (for outgoing and incoming payments if the customer has granted your company the corresponding authorization); Process incoming payments using lots (the customer makes payments through the bank or post office). If customers are unable to honor their financial commitments, you can arrange payment by installments for one or more receivables or defer receivables. |
| **Determination and execution of collection** | You can evaluate the open receivables of your customers at regular intervals using different parameters. Using business logic defined in the system settings, the system derives the relevant collection activities for each customer, such as sending reminders. Collection specialists have a detailed overview of their customers and access to all the necessary tools and functions for the required measures. |
| **General ledger integration** | To ensure itemized verification, each individual business transaction is stored. Documents are periodically transferred to the general ledger. All standard closing activities, as for example, foreign currency valuation and receivables adjustment are supported. |
| **Integration with SAP Cash Application for Contract Accounting** | You can integrate SAP Cash Application for Contract Accounting to automate and simplify further the processing of incoming payments with machine learning intelligence. For clarification cases, SAP Cash Application for Contract Accounting analyzes the notes to payee transferred with the bank statement and makes clarification proposals with a confidence rating. |

Billing personnel can change and continuously optimize collections strategies by using Champion/Challenger analysis as well as in-house teams and external collections agencies.

The segmentation takes place in Credit Management, whereby external credit information, such as D&B® and Experian, and internal credit information, such as the length of the business relationship and the payment behavior, are considered. This risk-based segmentation has an influence on the collection process. |
| **Determination and execution of collection activities** | You can submit receivables to external collection agencies or to third-party applications for legal dunning procedures. |
