RealTime Integration of Controlling with Financial ing During allocations in Controlling, most of the postings created do not affect Financial ing. These postings do not update any G/L transaction figures; they are postings within Controlling. If, however, an allocation in Controlling leads to a change in the functional area or any other characteristic (such as Profit Center or Segment) that is relevant for evaluations in Financial ing, a shift occurs between the affected items in the profit and loss statement. For this reason, this information has to be transferred to Financial ing. This reconciliation between Controlling and Financial ing takes place by means of realtime integration. As a result of realtime integration, all Controlling documents that are relevant for General Ledger ing are transferred from Controlling to General Ledger ing in real time. This means that Financial ing is always reconciled with Controlling. A document is created in Financial ing for each posting in Controlling. This means that the detailed information contained in the CO documents is always available in reports in New General Ledger ing. This information can be sorted by the following, for example: Functional area Cost center Internal order

You find these reports in the SAP Easy Access menu under ing Controlling Cost Element ing Information System Reports for Cost and Revenue Element ing . Replacement reports are available as follows:
