Automated posting of COGS based on BOM in SAP S4hana public cloud

[shankar_mahadevan4]

When the sales transaction is posted, the cost of goods sold is to be posted automatically based on the BOM which is defined. The business scenario is that of auto production. How do we achieve this in SAP S/4hana public cloud ? Appreciate suggestions

Dear shankar.mahadevan4.

How are you? I have excluded the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud" and included the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Finance" for this question as "Cost of Goods Sold" is an exclusive Topic of Finance Line of Business.

Regards.

Juliano Romanato.

The customer has external POS systems and the sales will be posted there as a front-end application. As a day end procedure, (Asynchronous mode), the combined transaction will be integrated with SAP S4hana public cloud using the API Billing document create. Revenue booking is not an issue.

These items are assembled / bundled / produced items for which BOM is maintained in SAP S4hana public cloud. The posting of COGS shall be based on this BOM against the Finished goods that is sold. We were analyzing the possibility of making goods movement of type 251 by pulling the data of finished goods from POS systems through the API of Material Document Create through which COGS shall be booked.

Hope the requirement is clear.

From SD Billing, generally all necessary data should be passed to S/4HANA Cloud system by API Billing Document Create. In the billing document the cost will be calculated and pass to FI while posting to accounting. You only have external POS system to hold sales orders and let SAP S/4HANA Cloud system handle the follow-up billing and financial process.

It's not clear on the requirement.

Please explain on what sales transaction you want to post COGS to where.
