CO-PA gets its data from the SD, MM, and FI modules and
from overhead controlling through cost center assessment and
IO settlement.
When you make sales through the SD module, depending on
the sales order status, the SD module passes all information
relating to sales to FI as well as to CO.
Figure 6.21 shows when the FI and CO modules are updated.
At the point of delivery and at the point of billing, the SD
module passes information to FI, which creates the FI
document as well as the CO document.
Account-based CO-PA is updated with the cost of material
when delivery occurs from the SD module, while revenue is
updated when the SD module passes the billing document to
FI. However, with costing-based CO-PA, both revenue and
cost are updated when the SD module passes billing document
information.
