SAP Note 33178 - INFO: +/- sign logic in CO-PA (SD/FI interface)

Component : Profitability Analysis -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/33178 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note clarifies the handling of +/- signs across SD, FI, and CO-PA modules, particularly in the context of revenue and sales deductions. Issues occur when revenue and deduction signs are inconsistent across documents due to different sign logic in CO-PA, where all values must be positive. A detailed explanation of this logic is provided, emphasizing the need to separate positive and negative value fields in CO-PA to manage correct reporting of net revenues and contribution margins. Direct postings from FI should have compensated entries to maintain coherence in profitability segments, aligning with the divergent handling of signs in SD and FI.
