Post Billing Documents Subsequently

This function lets you transfer to costing-based CO-PA billing documents that already exist in FI. This is particularly useful if you go productive with CO-PA later than you do with SD and you wish to post the sales data for the current or previous period(s) to CO-PA.

You can specify the billing documents to be transferred by entering:

• the billing document number

• the billing date

• the sales organization

• the distribution channel and/or division .

The program checks whether the billing data has already been posted to CO-PA in order to prevent documents from being posted twice (first online and then with this function to CO-PA).

After posting the data to CO-PA, the program displays a transfer log and an error log. If any billing documents contained errors, you need to correct them and run the program again.

Prerequisites

• The operating concern to which you want to transfer the billing data must be defined and generated.

• The fields in the billing document must be assigned to the value fields or quantity fields in the operating concern.

Actions

Post your billing data from the sales system (SD) to Profitability Analysis.

Additional notes

This function also allows you to repost billing documents correctly if they have been transferred into CO-PA via incorrect derivation. If you activate the "Reversal of line items" indicator, the system cancels the incorrect line item and, in the same step, writes a new line item for which the current derivation rules are taken into account. You also need to activate the "Redetermine prof. segment" indicator for the latter to occur.
