Real-time integration for Controlling with the general ledger is supported for use with new General Ledger Accounting. To allow you to copy the values for each accounting principle applied in Controlling to the general ledger by means of real-time integration, you need to configure the following Customizing settings:

  1. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), activate the real-time integration for multiple CO valuations in the real-time integration variant assigned to your company code under   Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New)   Ledgers   Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting   Define Variants for Real-Time Integration  .

    To activate the function to copy parallel values from the CO versions for parallel cost of goods manufactured, select the Real-Time Integration with Parallel CO Valuation Active checkbox.

    Note Note

    If there are company codes for which you want to record parallel cost of goods manufactured, we recommend that you create your own variants for real-time integration.

    End of the note.

    To specify that a replacement of accounts for company codes with this variant for real-time integration can also be carried out for primary cost elements, select the Acc. Det. for Prim. Cost Elements Active checkbox.

    Note Note

    • If you have specified for the controlling area that the system is always to carry out account determination, including for primary cost elements, the system always carries out account determination for primary cost elements and determines a reconciliation account regardless of the setting in the variant for real-time integration.

      You can check your settings in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under   Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)   Ledgers   Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting   Define Account Determination for Real-Time Integration   Define Account Determination for Real-Time Integration  .

    • If you depict parallel accounting using parallel accounts, you can alternatively use the setting in the real-time integration variant to specify that even if the system is generally not to carry out account determination for primary cost elements for your controlling area, the variants for real-time integration in company codes with parallel costs of goods manufactured behave differently and an account from the original primary cost element is to be replaced independently of the accounting principle.

    • If you depict parallel accounting using accounts, different accounts could be determined for each CO valuation or accounting principle in this way. To assign the accounts to accounting principles, check the settings in Customizing for Controlling under   Product Cost Controlling   Actual Costing/Material Ledger   Actual Costing   Parallel Valuation of Cost of Goods Manufactured   Parallel Accounting with Accounts (Accounts Approach)  :

      • Define Assignment for Accounting Principles

      • Define Account Assignment

      • Determine Accounts Based on Accounting Principle

    • If you depict parallel accounting using accounts, you can generally also copy the values from the versions without account determination for primary cost elements. However, you must ensure that different values are not recorded for primary cost elements and that primary cost elements only have values in the valuations that correspond to the accounting principles to which the G/L accounts are assigned.

      This can be particularly difficult to ensure if manual reposting of primary costs or manual reposting of revenues are applied in Controlling, since these would post with the same value in all valuations. We recommend that you avoid using these transactions in the case of parallel costs of goods manufactured.

    End of the note.
  2. In Customizing for Controlling, configure real-time integration for parallel cost of goods manufactured under   Product Cost Controlling   Actual Costing/Material Ledger   Actual Costing   Parallel Valuation of Cost of Goods Manufactured   Set Up Real-Time Integration for Parallel Cost of Goods Manufactured  . You need to configure the following settings:

    • Specify that the values are to be copied from the respective valuation to the general ledger for all accounting principles in your company codes by selecting the Real-Time Integ. for Valuation Active checkbox.

    • For each row in the General Ledger Update field, specify how values are to be updated to the general ledger.

    Note Note

    For each valuation for which you want values to be copied, you need activate the transfer of values from the CO valuation.

    As a rule, you select the 2 – Variant for Real-Time Integration entry for all valuations for General Ledger Update if you depict parallel accounting using accounts and you do not specify a ledger group in the variant for real-time integration. Real-time integration posts values to the general ledger without a ledger group in this case.

    If you use ledgers to depict parallel accounting, you generally select the 1 – Accounting Principle FI option for all valuations. In this case, the system determines the ledger groups to be updated from the assignment of ledger groups to accounting principles in Financial Accounting as you have defined them in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under   Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)   Ledgers   Parallel Accounting   Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger Groups  .

    If you are not using an accounts approach, the ledger groups specified in the setting must be different for all CO valuations with active real-time integration and an overlap of the ledgers within these groups must be avoided. If this cannot be ensured using the assignment of ledger groups to accounting principles, the 3 – Explicit Assignment option allows the ledger group that is to be used for real-time integration to be specified directly in the Ledger Group (FI) column in this setting.

    End of the note.
