Profit Simulation

Use

As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Global Trade 1.10(EA-GLTRADE 110), there is a new report called profit simulation that is used in a trading contract. It provides an online profit simulation during trading contract processing, taking all relevant pricing elements such as purchase price, sales price, expenses, surcharges and discounts into account. The report is also available for follow-on logistics documents such as deliveries.

The profit simulation is useful when, for example, you want to calculate a proper sales price, while considering all expenses and surcharges and, at the same time, to keep an eye on the total profitability of the entire simultaneous sales and purchase. You can use profit simulation to monitor detailed price information for each item, then you can adjust the price of the item. You cannot change prices from within the profit simulation report. If you must make any changes, you must go to the price overview or expense view.

When executing the profit simulation report, you can choose the currency and the exchange rate for the report. There are two default choices,

• Use customized currency and todays rate

• Use home currency and document rate

Alternatively, you can customize both settings to suit your requirements.

The way in which profit is calculated is freely customizable. For example, you can calculate the estimated profit based on the sales price, the purchase price and all the expenses relevant for the trading contract. SAP provides sample function modules for calculating the profit. You can create your own profit calculation by creating new function modules.

The profit simulation report is only useful when the trading contract is a simultaneous sales and purchasing contract.

Effects on Customizing

In addition to customizing settings for profit simulation, customizing settings for Sales and Distribution (SD), Material Management (MM), pricing in retail (Retail) and in standard R/3 Enterprise must also be maintained properly. For example, if you plan to use the profit simulation to calculate the estimated profit including sales price, surcharges, expenses, and purchasing price, then you must also maintain all the customizing settings for pricing and expenses in trading contract. For more information, see: Pricing.

If you plan to execute the profit simulation for a logistics document, you should also maintain the customizing settings for a logistics document. For more information, see: Profit simulation for logistics document.
