Summary :
SAP Note provides guidance on key changes and constants in cost of sales accounting within the new general ledger feature in mySAP ERP as compared to R/3 Enterprise and earlier releases. It outlines that with the new general ledger, the functional area characteristic can be added directly and derived on the document entry screen, enhancing real-time data processing and integration within FI and CO modules. Documentation on functional area derivation is currently limited but accessible via SAP Library. The note also states that prior tools for retrospective determination of functional areas are obsolete due to these enhanced integrations and functionalities. The support for manual and automatic determinations based on various settings within financial accounting configurations remains intact.
