When a purchase (or production) lot is sold, sales revenue is generated, which is used for settlement calculations in the account sale accounting method. For more information, see Understand sales revenue calculation.

The account sale calculation provides a proposal for the account sale. However, you can modify the proposed account sale by making changes. On the Account Sale page, the Sales headline, highlighted in green, represents the overall total net revenue derived from the underlying sales sections. To obtain detailed information on how the system calculated the total gross or net revenue displayed on the Account Sale page, select the values within the sales headline.

  • The following fields are available on the Account Sale Revenue list page:

    FieldDescription
