Post Follow-Up from Sales and Distribution Documents

In this IMG activity you can transfer documents from Sales and Distribution (SD) to the CO module.

Recommendation

You should carry out the follow-up postings in the background during times of low system usage, because large volumes of data result in a greater processing load.

Requirements

During follow-up posting the SAP System checks whether the CO account assignment objects exist in the SD documents and that they are valid.

Activities

1. Ensure that
a) you have created the master data in CO for the account assignment objects specified in the SD documents, and that
b) the CO components are active according to the control indicator in the controlling area.
If the posting occurs on a profitability segment, this will be derived from the billing date by the R/3 System. You do not need to assign explicitly to profitability segments.
2. Start the follow-up posting.
Restrict the selection criteria for the documents to be posted, if required.
Use background processing for large quantities of data.
