Purpose
This program reconciles Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) and ContractAccounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA). It compares the FI-CA documentstransferred with the documents posted on the transfer to account-basedCO-PA. The reconciliation objects of account-based CO-PA are onlyevaluated for costing-based CO-PA.
For the reconciliation between account-based and costing-based CO-PA,use the corresponding Profitability Analysis functions.

Output
The data is output as ALV grid control. Depending on the selection youmake on the initial screen under Output Options, the listcontains all documents selected from CO-PA and FI-CA line items, or onlyCO-PA documents and FI-CA line items for which the program hasdetermined a difference during the reconciliation.
For the output of the detail display, SAP provides a standard variant,whereby you can also configure own list variants.
In the standard variant, the individual totals records are displayedopposite the corresponding line items. The totals records and line itemsfor adjustments are grouped. Each group ends with a reconciliation item.If there are differences, the reconciliation items concerned have a redlight, and those without differences have a green light. Differences canoccur for all amount fields, that is, even for those that are not di
splayed. For differences in the account assignment, the line items fromthe gener ledger cannot be assigned to the totals records from FI-CA andare therefore separated in a group by a reconciliation item.
Using the Variant option, you can call a specific variant bymaking an entry in the corresponding field. If you do not enter avariant explicitly, the default variant is called. If no defaultvariant is defined, and you do not select a variant, the display usesthe standard variant. You can create, change, and save variants in thedetail display of the reconciliation.

Activity
