Key Concepts: Spread is a term used in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) to refer to the difference between the value of an asset and its book value. It is calculated by subtracting the book value from the current market value of the asset. The spread is used to determine the amount of gain or loss that will be recognized when the asset is sold. How to use it: In SAP FI, spread is calculated by entering the current market value of an asset in the “Current Value” field and then subtracting the book value from it. The result is then entered in the “Spread” field. This calculation can be done manually or automatically using a spreadsheet program. Tips & Tricks: When calculating spread, it is important to remember that the current market value should be based on current market conditions and not on historical values. Additionally, it is important to consider any costs associated with selling the asset, such as taxes or commissions, when calculating spread. Related Information: Spread can also be used to calculate capital gains or losses when selling investments such as stocks or bonds. Additionally, spread can be used to calculate gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.
