Figure52: AssignmentofFunctionalAreasintheP&LStatement
When you use the period accounting approach, the system breaks down the
operatingresultsbyrevenueandcostelement. Thismakesitpossibletorecognize
whichfactorsofproductioncausethecostswhichareincurred. Thetotalcosts
for the period can then be compared to the total revenues earned during the
same period. These costs include the costs of all the goods and services that
wereproducedintheperiodbuthavenotyetbeensold(increasesinstock)plus
the goods and services produced in previous periods and sold in this period
(reductionsinstock). Thissum, together withthecapitalizedinternalactivities
andthechangestoworkinprocess,yieldsthetotalresultfortheperiod.

AC610 Lesson: Functional Areas in Profit Center Accounting
The more sales-oriented cost of sales approach compares the costs to the
correspondingquantitystructureoftherevenues. Revenuesareonlycompared
tothecostsincurredforthequantityofgoodsorservicessold. Whenproducts
are sold from stock, it may be that the costs were incurred during a previous
period. Inthisapproach,nodistinctionismadebetweendifferentcostelements.
Instead,resourceusageisdividedaccordingtothefunctionsR&D,production,
sales and administration.
