This Release note applies to R/3 Systems in which both cost-of-sales accounting and cost center accrual calculation are used.
As of Release 4.6A, you can no longer generate cross-functional area cost flows within CO:
The system locates thefunctional area only for the cost center to which costs are to be charged. The credit object is credited under the same functional area as the cost center.
Background:
For thereconciliation posting between FI and CO, those CO cost flows that are cross-company code, cross-business area or cross-functional area are transferred to Financial Accounting.
However, using accrual calculation, you can now post cost flows to CO that are purely accrued (like accrued rent for example).
Since costs such as these are not to be reported in Financial Accounting, the relevant program now no longer
marks these cost flows as being cross-functional area and therefore relevant to
reconciliation. If these changes cause you any problems, refer to OSS note 136721.
