Key Challenges Faced by Client

  • As per Incoterms agreed with customers, a sales transaction is said to be complete only when goods reached customer premises, until such time revenue cannot be recognised in books.
  • As per India Goods & Service Tax (GST) regulation, sales has taken place upon dispatch of goods and hence GST liability needs to be recognised at the time of dispatch of goods.
  • Revenue has to be recognized only when the “Delivery Obligation” is completed, i.e. customer provides a “Proof of Delivery” as per IAS 115.
  • Current SAP Solution is designed to recognize revenues on customer invoice generation and hence non-compliance to statutory audit requirements.
  • Reporting of Invoice wise POD confirmation & revenue recognition.

Our Approach

  • SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) is designed to fulfil this requirement. SAP RAR is add-on solution to SCS’s existing SAP S/4HANA solution.
  • SAP RAR 1.3 was implemented as an add-on to existing SAP S/4HANA Solution of SCS &  integrated with SAP SD solution used for Sales Order, PGI and Invoicing process.
  • SAP RAR configured to process revenue for Performance Obligations (POBs) as required by SCS business, which is as follows:
    • Customer confirms receipt of goods in their premises by way of acknowledging the proof of delivery.
    • SAP RAR will release revenue based on POBs completion.
  • Business rules for revenue recognition is configured using SAP Business Rule Framework Plus.
