Real time integration FI CO afterwards

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Is it possible to activate the integration between co and fi in real time afterwards?

Until now, my client has not activated this and thus if he settled or made some controlling postings there is no posting in fi, just in CO (this is normal)

But now he wants to have that integration : post in CO--> post in FI

Is it possible to activate this during the year or do i need to wait until the year closing?

For now, any "pure CO" posting is done, only FI posting was done (with the equal posting in CO)

Which steps do I need to complete?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi Chris

Though you can activate it any time technically, its better if you do it at the start of the new fiscal year for the sake of simplicity

Just create a real time integration variant and assign it your company code... Here in, you choose for what sort of cross postings in CO (i.e. cross business area, pr center, etc), the FI postings have to be triggered

IMG Path is Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers > Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting

IMG Steps are Define Variants for Real-Time Integration / Assign Variants for Real-Time Integration to Company Codes / Account Determination for Real-Time Integration

Hope this helps

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your help.

I don't know how to customize account determination for intergration FI CO ? I don't need to have different value for my postings.

I only would like to have primary cost elements posted in my FI side.

And I would like the system to use the general accounts corresponding to this primary cost elements (and also keep the CC and OI, profit center and segment).

Is this done just via the desactivation of account determination in customising point : define variant for real time integration??

or do i need to do something else?

Until now, no real posting in FI occurs....

Thanks,

chris

Hi

It does not work the way you want.. If I have understood you right, you want the same primary cost elements to be posted in FI... However, during settlements in CO, you are bound to use some secondary cost elements.. Also, you may use assessment instead of dist cycle

In account determination for real time FICO integ, you assign a P&L account which would be used to trigger cross Bus Area/PRCTR, etc postings in FI.... For eg: If you allocate costs from Cost Ctr A to B and C AND they belong to different profit centers, then system would trigger postings into the GL account maintained in account determination

In standard, you can assign only 1 GL account here... However, If you want to use more than one such GL, you have a "Substitution" option in the account assignment... You can write substitution here or use an exit to trigger different 1 GL account for say, salary related expenses and another for travelling...

BUt, it can not be 1:1 for sure...

Ajay,

Maybe i'm wrong in my process:

For now i just created manual transfert of costs (KB11N)

But no posting in FI is generated

My post was CC A10000 IO 10001 CE 60000000 for X EUR to CC A100010 IO 10004 (same segment for origin and destination)

when trying to post this in co (test mode) :

CO document 200000000 / 1000 is not transferred to financial accounting

Message no. FAGL_COFI007

Diagnosis

Due to your Customizing settings for real-time integration with Financial Accounting, the CO document 200000000 (controlling area 1000) is not transferred to Financial Accounting.

Procedure

To perform a more detailed analysis of the cause, you can use the trace function (transaction FAGLCOFITRACEADMIN).

if I go to this faglcofitraceadmin i don't see anything that could be oriented my solution?

And if i tried to post a manual transfer of costs between two segments i have the error E:ZDE:003

but i don't find something yet on that....

Could you help?

thanks

chris

Hi

is this an error message? It says that no doc is passed to FI due to your customizing settings...

1. In your real time variant - If you checked Cross BA, Segment, Pr Ctr... This means that doc is posted to FI only if the segment is different in sender and receiver objects

Try to do KB11N between objects belonging to different segments or pr Ctrs

2. Also, assign a P&L account in the account determination

Hi Chris,

In case you activate the FI-CO real time integration during the year,

You may need to execute the transaction FAGLCOFITRNSFRCODOCS to transfer the CO documents posted till now

See the documentation bellow:

Short text

Transfer CO Documents into External Accounting

Purpose

With this program, you can transfer into financial accounting any CO documents that were posted during internal allocations in CO (such as assessments) in cases where automatic transfer failed.

Integration

The report can be useful when online CO->FI update is activated subsequently.

Prerequisites

Online update CO->FI was not active at the time the CO documents were posted.

CO documents that were posted after online CO->FI update was activated but were not updated to FI due to error messages in financial accounting are automatically added to a worklist. This also applies to CO documents for which error messages were issued when this report was executed.

The worklist is executed with transaction FAGLCOFIFLUP.
