revenue recognition snapshot s/4 hana cloud planning category

[former_member605142]

Hi Experts,

On the Plan/Actual report there is a planning category function - revenue recognition snapshot.

What is this used for exactly? and what does the highlighted GL accounts represents? Is this costs? 

The revenue adjustment in planned seems to be the amount to be billed and in actual it is the actual revenue recognition

Hi Tamlyn,

You can take a look at SSCUI 101970 (Maintain Category for Planning) for more details on each planning category.

The system uses categories to distinguish different sets of plan data in various application areas. The financial plan data entered via Fiori App Import Financial Plan Data or SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is stored in application area "Periodic Planning and Consolidation". PLN (Plan Data), BUDGET01 (Project Budgeting) and BUDGET02 (Cost Center Budgeting) are examples of categories within application area "Periodic Planning and Consolidation" that can be used for reporting.

Besides "Periodic Planning and Consolidation", there are other applications areas ("Project Management", "Production Order", or "Revenue Recognition") which store their own plan data in predefined categories. These can be viewed in the SSCUI 101970, but cannot be changed. For these categories only the application itself may enter plan data. Category REVREC01 is used to store data of application type Revenue Recognition.

I'm not familiar with the accounts highlighted in yellow unfortunately.

Kind regards,

Ana
