Posting Example for Cost of Sales Accounting: Other FI and Controlling Examples in fico

Purpose

This process is part of a sequence of four processes that show cost of sales reporting for the profit and loss statement using the special purpose ledger. This process demonstrates various FI and Controlling postings, together with the effects of these postings on your financial reports. The posting processes include:

· Posting overheads in FI to a cost center

· Allocation of costs in CO

· Posting expenditure to a sales order

For general information on cost of sales accounting and cost of sales reporting, see the cost of sales reporting process in Profit Center Accounting.

Prerequisites

In this process, you transfer costs from one cost center to another. You then reconcile FI with CO by running a program that reads the reconciliation ledger and makes transfer postings to FI. If you run this program, you can only use the controlling area and period as selection criteria. In a demonstration environment, that means that you have to be very careful not to affect the examples of other users. The reconciliation ledger is not only used in this example, but also in processes that are restricted to the use of the reconciliation ledger.
