You can do this every time because [event-based revenue recognition](https://blog.sap-press.com/principles-of-event-based-revenue-recognition-ebrr-in-sap-s4hana) (EBRR) ensures a real-time matching principle for costs and revenues.   First, you start the Service Profitability Review Booklet app, select **Ledger 0L** and **Company Code 1010**, and click **Go** to view all existing postings to the service order and service contract objects in company code **1010**, as shown in this figure.   ![Margin Analysis Reporting on Service Documents](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-07-1545-PM.png?width=1294&height=600&name=image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-07-1545-PM.png)   You’ll see columns representing the **Customer Group**, **Customer**, and **Product Sold** market segment attributes. The **Service Document** column shows which service orders provided the data.   To get insights into other controlling relevant attributes, you change the selected dimensions to analyze the entered overtime, personnel number, and nonbillable confirmations. That will take you to the view shown here.   ![Analysis of Service Order Individual Postings, Overtime, and Billable Control](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-30-8493-PM.png?width=936&height=585&name=image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-30-8493-PM.png)   Because you can report on individual journal entry items, you can select **Overtime Category** and **Billable Control** (alias accounting indicator) values here. You can also select the **Personnel Number** to see who provided the service.   With the [SAP S/4HANA](https://learning.sap-press.com/sap-s4hana-overview-benefits) reporting technology, you can dynamically include service order or service order item attributes in financial reports, which gives you more insights into service business processes. To do this, you start the Service Order Actuals app ([SAP Fiori](https://learning.sap-press.com/sap-fiori) ID FIS\_FPM\_OVP\_IPSRVO4), and then, you select **Ledger 0L** and **Company Code 1010** to view a list of service orders with margins, as shown in the figure below. Toview the available attributes for service orders, you right-click the **Service Document** column, select **Drilldown**, and click **Add Attribute**. ![Selecting Additional Service Order Attributes](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-55-6542-PM.png?width=787&height=741&name=image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-12-55-6542-PM.png)   In our example, we’ll select a contact person and add a new column for them, as shown here.   ![Adding Service Order Fields in Financial Reporting](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-13-18-1509-PM.png?width=1019&height=659&name=image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-13-18-1509-PM.png)   Now, you’ll see a new **Contact Person** field. It isn’t a journal entry field; it’s taken from the service order database.   Next, let’s see what new analysis options are available for the accountant. You start the Trial Balance app, select **Ledger 0L** and example company code **1010**, and click **Go**. Then, you scroll to the WIP general ledger account and add the **Customer** and **Service Document** columns to view the screen shown in this figure.   ![Trial Balance App with Drilldown for WIP](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-14-38-2811-PM.png?width=1474&height=853&name=image-png-Aug-11-2025-03-14-38-2811-PM.png)   Note that the total amount in **WIP** account 13210000 can be assigned to service documents and customers. ## Learn SAP Controlling in Our Rheinwerk Course!
