Reconciling SAP CO-PA to the General Ledger

2.1    Billing document

This comes from the mapping of sales condition types to value fields in CO-PA using transaction KE4I. Anytime a billing document is posted, the value in the condition type gets transferred to its corresponding value field. If a condition has not been mapped to a value field, then a billing document accounting error will occur. This is one way to ensure that the general ledger and CO-PA are updated simultaneously when a billing document is posted. Sales quantity fields such as gross weight and net weight can also be mapped to quantity-based value fields in CO-PA. See Figure 2.1 to understand the data flow from a billing document to CO-PA.
