16. Who is a Non operator?
In a JV, one partner is the operator who is responsible
for the day to day operations.
The Non operator is the one who gets billed by the
operator and doesn’t take part in the day to day
activities of the business.
A non operator is created as customer in the system
32. Costs flow from different areas into a
joint venture.
Different cost objects like Cost center,
wbs, internal order etc. have a tab for
Joint venture accounting where we enter
the JV info

39. The joint operating agreement is the contract that governs the
rights and obligations, including overheads and penalties, of the
involved partners and their participating interests in the joint
venture.
A joint venture is an association of two or more parties jointly
undertaking an economic activity under a JOA, with the intention
of sharing the associated risks, cost and revenues and this
proportional to their undivided interest in for instance, a
geographical area for exploration and/or production activities.
An equity group defines the association of the business partners,
their participation and their contractual interest. Its purpose is to
record all activity of a venture for the given equity group. An
equity group may consist of one to all of the venture partners.
Recovery indicators are recorded on each line item in the JV
ledger, determine whether the item is billable to partners in the
JV and/or recoverable from the government in a PSA, and the
nature of specific postings (e.g. audit and equity adjustments).

Sometimes, several companies can jointly run a business venture more successfully than an individual company can. The companies can combine efforts for that one venture without merging their businesses. Such projects are known as joint ventures. In the example shown, a shopkeeper and two farmers enter a joint venture. The shopkeeper provides the capital, transportation, and shop space while the farmers provide the produce. The three partners share profits and losses from the joint venture as agreed between them.
The companies can run several joint ventures between them, but each venture is separate. The agreements for each joint venture can be different or they can be shared. Each of the companies participating in a joint venture is referred to as a partner.
SAP originally designed Joint Venture Accounting (JVA) for the upstream oil industry, and all further examples refer to upstream oil companies. Such companies regularly enter into joint ventures for exploration purposes, to develop oil & gas producing facilities, and to maintain such facilities.
Material movements are usually coded with a venture.
JVA derives venture coding for material movements from a special stock cost object that is assigned to a plant and a valuation type (which is optional) associated with the plant.
