Maintain PA Transfer Structure for Direct Postings

In this activity, you define the PA transfer structure FI, which you use to post costs and revenues directly to profitability segments. In the PA transfer structure "FI", you specify how the cost elements are to be defined to the CO-PA value fields.

You can choose to transfer the posted amount to CO-PA as well. For this, include in the assignment the corresponding quantity field along with the value field(s).

Since this maintenance dialog is also used in the definition of PA transfer structures for other allocations, there are several selection options that do not apply to the PA transfer structure "FI". These options are discussed below under "Activities".

Activities

1. Define the PA transfer structure "FI".

2. Divide your cost elements according to how you want to group them in Profitability Analysis, and create assignment lines accordingly.

Note: The indicator for quantity billed/delivered is not relevant for PA transfer structure FI and hence should not be activated.

3. For each assignment line, enter the cost element or the cost element group to be assigned. As the source, activate the "Costs/Revenues" option.

4. For each assignment line, enter the value field (or, if the costs are split into fixed and variable portions, both value fields) into which costs/revenues are to be imported.
