Costing-based CO-PA is more effective than Account-based COPA for cost of sales and variance analysis but is more difficult
to reconcile to the general ledger
Data flows into CO-PA from billing documents, general ledger
and inventory postings, production order and project systems
settlements, cost components and cost center assessments
Cost of sales are posted to the general ledger when the goods
are issued, but posted to CO-PA when a billing document is
created
A cost element that is linked to a sales condition which posts to
CO-PA should have a cost element category of 11 or 12
You can post documents to CO-PA only using transaction
KE21N
