Automatic settlement to particular combination of cost centres and gl codes

Question

HI,
A company uses Plant Maintenance for Engineering overhauls. MM is used for Engineering spares only (i.e. not for goods for resale etc).
The requirement is to set up ongoing Plant Maintenance Orders, one for each item of plant (only 600). The plan is just to leave them open, as they are only used at a simple level.
Anyway, for each PM order, the requirement will be to settle automatically, and to a particular GL code and a particular cost centre.
So, for three different works orders:-
Cost Centre -
>   333     334     335
GL code
1234----
>(X)
1235----
>(Y)
1236----
>(Z)
1) What is the best way to achieve this? I am thinking that GL code will be specified by order type (therefore I will need about 10, corresponding to the GL codes) and cost centre will be specified by Work Centre in each order.
2) How do I set up automatic settlement? Can this be at period end only or instantly when good are booked to the order by the stores.

Hi ,
For Plant Maintenance with FICO , you need Settlement rule & settlement profile.　
The settlement rule determines what portions of a sender's costs are to be settled to which receiver(s).
In thesettlement profile you determine to which objects orders of this order type can settle to. You can also assign an order type to a settlement profile at a later date. You can change the settlement profile in the order.
After you create the settlement profile , you need to save the profile to particular order type.
Inside the settlement profile , you will define the control parameter of how is the way to settle included which cost center to post.
For automatic settlement , i think you need user exist - Please refer to userexit IWO10027 or COOM0003 with your abaper.
Thank you.
