Summary :
SAP Note details corrective steps for CO-PA discrepancies during SD costing postings. When CO-PA is active, costs linked to SD transactions could be incorrectly posted to profitability segments due to automatic account assignment logic. The issue may occur particularly when additional cost centers handle costs only statistically. The note suggests reevaluating the necessity of posting to profitability segments for specific accounts and either initializing profitability segments with a fixed value or modifying the accounts chart. It stresses precise definition of substitutions, using AWTYPE and VORGN checks, to avoid losing profitability segments in revenue transactions. References to related SAP Notes are included for further guidance.
