Description
The cost flows within CO are logged in the reconciliation ledger insummarized form as totals records in the COFIT table. The COFIT-ACTIVfields contain the value RKAL for this summarized CO data. During thereconciliation posting, the system reports to FI any cost flows thatare cross-company code, cross-business area or cross-functional area.
To achieve this, the system reads the totals records from the COFITtable and summarizes them into FI documents according to specifiedrules. Generally, several totals records are summarized into one FIdocument. The FI document created usually consists of only two postingrows
The posting on the reconciliation account and the offsetting entry onthe clearing account for cost flows that are cross-company code orcross-functional area (cost flows that are cross-functional area, butnot cross-company code, are posted on the clearing account forcross-business area cost flows).
The cost flows reported to FI are also logged in the reconciliationledger as follows:
All the COFIT table totals records that have been summarized into an FIdocument are stored as posting rows of a reconciliation document in theCOFIS table (reconciliation ledger line items). This type ofreconciliation ledger document usually has several posting rows.
Additionally, the totals records that have been reconciled with FI arealso stored in the COFIT table as additional totals records with areversed +/- sign and COFIT-ACTIV = RKRF.
Therefore, for cost flows that have been completely reconciled with FI,the total of the totals records with COFIT-ACTIV = RKAL and COFIT-ACTIV= RKRF is zero. This should be true both before and after the euroconversion.
During the euro conversion, the posting rows of a reconciliation roware converted independently from the corresponding FI document. Afterthe euro conversion, the total of the reconciliation ledger postingrows will no longer agree with the amount in the FI document due tovarious rounding errors. This means that the amounts posted in FI canno longer be explained using the figures existing in the reconciliationledger.
The RKACOFI1 report displays in list format any possible roundingdifferences between FI documents and reconciliation ledger documents.To do this, the system reads a number of reconciliation documents fromthe report (you can specify this number on the selection screen) andcompares them with the corresponding FI documents.
This report only displays the existing rounding differences, whichmeans that no adjustment postings are carried out.
You use the RKACOFI2 report to adjust the rounding differences.

Timing of the report run
Within the euro conversion, you can run the report at any timefollowing resumption of production operations.
