Hi All
I have one PCS Item - A in my Sales order with X value and I have 2 other cost items in the same Sales order with Y and Z value. Now when I invoice Y ,Z and X separately , is there anyway I can tell the system that revenues earned out of Y and Z are also to be attributed to my Item A , so that I can compare the Cost of Item A with revenues for Item A (X+Y+Z).
Thanks A Lot in Advance

I see the issue and I’m just brainstorming here. I’m not confident that you can get the analysis without some type of customized report or by analyzing data in Excel.
Can we assume that the cost items cannot be linked to PCS Item A by a common mapping characteristic (logged element) such as Item Group, Statistics Group, etc? To look at it another way, can the cost items Y and Z also be on a sales order for PCS Item – B for which you may also want to analyze revenues and costs?
Are you hoping to analyze the revenues & costs X, Y & Z for one sales order? Or if PCS Item – A may be sold on multiple sales orders, are you trying to find a way to analyze revenues and costs for sales of PCS Item – A across all sales orders for PCS Item – A?
If you can live with analysis by Sales Order, have you considered creating an Integration Document Type Group (tfgld4559m000) with the IDTs that you consider relevant to revenues/cost (margin) analysis? If analysis by sales order is OK, you could base your analysis on a fairly standard Print Integration Transactions report (perhaps a flat file version for Excel) with selection based on Business Object (sales order) and Integration Document Type Group.
Let us know. This is challenging!
