Result Analysis in SAP
In the previous article, we tried to know the way system would behave if we do not use “Result Analysis” for Project. The article helped us understand how not using “Result Analysis” can cause inconsistency in profits.
In this article, we would start looking into the “Result Analysis” function available in SAP. We will start this with understanding what “Valuation Methods” are available for us to work with.
Types of Valuation methods
As we all know, SAP is an ERP that is used all over the globe. It hence becomes important on SAP’s part to provide solution that can be used throughout the world. It is due to this fact, SAP has provided various “Valuation Methods” as part of standard solution. The various methods available can be used to meet the business requirements.
Given below is the list of available “Valuation methods”
01 Revenue-Based Method – With Profit Realization

Conceptual understanding of “Valuation Methods” will help understand the way they work. This makes easier to configure them in the system
What Next?
We will try to look into as many Methods as possible in detail so that we can work on them. We would divide the understanding of these methods into following two sections:
Conceptual Understanding
Configuration
The section “Conceptual Understanding” contains information on how the method works. Examples are used to explain the concepts in effective way. This will help us understand the “Configuration” part effectively.
