Benefits:
With the universal journal, Controlling is now fully embedded in
the general ledger
One line item table with full details for all FI and CO components
Data stored only once: no reconciliation needed by architecture
Secondary cost elements are G/L accounts
Reduction of memory footprint through elimination of redundancy
Fast multi-dimensional reporting on the universal journal
possible without replicating data to BI
If BI is in place anyway, only one BI extractor needed (instead
of many today)
Technically enhanced important structural capabilities of the
Financials solution to support e.g. multi-GAAP, additional
currencies
Prerequisite for getting the full benefit:
Profitability analysis in the universal journal
- 25. Essential Changes in SAP S/4HANA Controlling
Unified master data maintenance
G/L account type: only one G/L master is
required. G/L accounts of type “secondary
costs” or “revenues” update CSK* and
SK* tables

Data flow – CO postings
Description
ACDOCA stores full details
Former COEP, ANEP, MLIT etc. data is stored in ACDOCA
BSEG is only written in case open item-managed accounts
are affected (e.g. for cross-company postings)
PCA, FI-SL work as before. If FI-SL was posted via activity
“COFI” (real-time integration CO-FI), secondary cost
elements (which are now G/L accounts) are posted directly
and no mapping to a primary cost element is done
EC-CS as before with New G/L real-time integration, but
now including secondary cost elements (which are G/L
accounts). The system now works with the original CO
activities like RKU1 instead of using the activity “COFI”
Components that have been built with FI-SL technology
work as before.
Cost-based CO-PA works as before

Extra work for each month-end closing
Standard price and moving average price are no
longer possible
Material ledger (ML) is now obligatory for all SAP S/4HANA customers
What SAP wanted to say What customers understood
Material ledger and Finance are now responsible
for material valuation
Only one solution (ML) and not two in parallel

Essential Changes in SAP S/4HANA Controlling
Enhancements of Profitability
Analysis
Account-Based CO-PA
ACDOCA can be extended by customer-specific fields (like in COPA)
Split of cost-of-goods-sold posting on multiple accounts (by cost component)
Split of production variances posting on multiple accounts (differentiation of price/quantity effects)
Three new quantity fields in the line items + BAdI for conversion of logistic quantities to common quantities
(e.g. products sold in different box sizes – but KPI in Finance is calculated on tons/KG of products)
Real-time derivation of market segment information from cost postings (cost center, order, WBS element)
Immediate availability for reporting (P&L, B/S) based on ACDOCA
Faster soft and hard close for periods
Costing-Based CO-PA
Product continues to exist and be supported, but no enhancements with SAP Accounting
Customers can run account-based and costing-based CO-PA in parallel
Customers should assess their valuation in FI versus valuation in costing-based CO-PA
