   • ZSO-IND51

You can watch the video to see how to do it.

How to understand the report

Once you have filter the production cost centers and excluded non fixed costs cost elements, look at the total "Actual - Destination" 

It should be exactly the same amount as what you see in the P&L (KE30 - Profitability report), value field E01 Period fixed costs for the same selection (Period & plant)

If there is no discrepancy you can build a report using the field you want.

Enter in the prompt 

• Fiscal Year/Period (5): 001.2024
• BFC - GBU (4): SI
• Company code: ZFR3

 In order to filter SG&A costs, we must

• Exclude depreciation & COPA cost elements 
• Filter SG&A cost centers (2 Function = EADM & EMSV)

How to understand the report

Once you have filter the SG&A cost centers, look at the total "Actual - Destination"

• 2 Function = EADM = value field  I25 G&A Adm.Expenses for the same selection 
• 2 Function = EMSV = value field I15 G&A Com.Expenses for the same selection

If there is no discrepancy you can build a report using the field you want.
