Transfer of Billing Documents

In this step you define how billing document items for sales from stock are transferred to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).

In costing-based CO-PA, you need to assign condition types and quantity fields from Sales and Distribution (SD) to the value and quantity fields CO-PA.

Activities:

• Assign condition types to the desired value fields. These assignments let you transfer "real" conditions (those that are posted to FI) and "statistical" (fictitious) conditions to CO-PA. Assign value fields.

• For real conditions, the corresponding revenue, sales deduction, and cost-of-sales accounts must be defined as CO-relevant accounts (cost or revenue elements).

• Assign the quantity fields in SD to the desired quantity fields in CO-PA. Assign quantity fields.

• If desired, reset individual value fields for billing documents of a certain billing type. Reset value fields.

For account-based CO-PA, the system only transfers those posting lines that are posted to FI as well.

Activities:

• Only "real" postings that are posted to FI can be transferred to account-based CO-PA. All you need to do to transfer this data to CO-PA is make sure that the desired revenue, sales deduction, and cost-of-sales accounts are defined as relevant for CO.

Prerequisites

• The operating concern to which you want to transfer billing documents has been completely defined.

• You have maintained record type "F" for the necessary number ranges.

• You have activated the desired form(s) of Profitability Analysis.
