Up to and including Release 2.2, invoices from SD could be posted simultaneously to CO-PA and also cost element by cost element to CO-CCA or CO-OPA. Either the automatic account assignment (transaction OKB9) or the default assignment in the cost element master record is used for posting to the CO-CCA and/or CO-OPA applications.
In Release 3.0, posting by cost elements to cost centers or to orders only functions when CO-PA is not active. If CO-PA is active, normally only the profitability segment will be posted to, even though a flexible assignment, cost center + profitability segment, is in principle possible.
Solution
The functionality possible up to Release 2.2 can be accessed as of Release 3.0 using a standard substitution. This substitution is delivered by SAP and the customer only needs to activate it.
If you have not used a substitution before, proceed as follows: Transaction OKC9, Function "New entries". Enter your controlling areas. In the column "Callup point", enter "0001" each time; in the column "Substitution" enter "0_SCO10" each time (please take note of the '0' and 'O'), and in the column "Activation level" enter a "1" each time. After you save this, you have restored the 2.1/2.2 functionality.
If you presently use substitutions, you will recognize this in transaction OKC9 because at least some of your controlling areas are already assigned to substitutions with other names and an activation level "1" or "2". You must change the already existing substitutions for these controlling areas. To do so use the menu options, Environment -> Substitution. Enter the name of your substitution. On the next screen select step 001 and push the function button "Insert entry". On the next screen select "Only exit" and hit 'Enter'. Leave the block 'Prerequisite' empty for the substitution step to be changed and enter the value "SCO10" in the field "Substitution exit" in the "Substitutions (if prerequisite is met)" block. Finally, push F3 until you are prompted to save and then save the change.
Important: In Release 2.2, it was also possible to post on a real order
in addition to posting into CO-PA via the automatic account assignment
determination. This is not possible as of 3.0, under any circumstances,
because the data cannot be properly updated on two account assignment
objects. For this reason, you need to enter a statistical order or a
cost center during the automatic account assignment determination.
The cost center is then statistically posted as of 3.0 according to the
account assignment method (see also Note 41103).
