Hi,
      I Hope this Documentation will help you ........
Settlement type
Depending on the processing type, the settlement type determines which settlement rule is used in a particular type of settlement processing.
The SAP system supports four settlement types. The AUC and PRE settlement types are used for settlement of capital investment measures. You can only use the PER settlement type for planned settlement.
PER (periodic settlement):
Settlement with this settlement type covers only the costs for the relevant settlement period.
The following data from internal cost allocations:
Sender cost center/activity type sent
Business process
Quantities
is allocated further to the following receivers:
Cost center
Internal order
Sales order
WBS element
Cost object
Business process
Actual activity prices, elimination of internal business volume and variances can then be calculated correctly in Cost Center Accounting and Activity-Based Accounting;
FUL (full settlement):
You can use this settlement type in automatic settlements.
The difference to periodic settlement is that in full settlement you settle each time all the costs that have occurred for a sender object for all the periods prior to the settlement (and are not yet settled). If PER rules exist, they take precedence over the FUL rule.
Quantities from internal activity allocations are not sent to the receiver. This means that there is no guarantee that actual activity prices, elimination of internal business volume, and variance calculation will take place correctly. For this reason, we do not recommend that you use FUL for cost centers or business processes.
AuC (Capitalization in asset under construction):
This settlement is automatically generated if you enter a capital investment profile with an AuC as its capital investment measure in the order control data.
Settlement is conducted periodically and in full to the AuC
PRE (periodic preliminary settlement):
You can enter PRE rules in the settlement rule for the order. They are used as part of settling capital investment measures.  Depending on the rules you entered, posted debits are settled to the CO receivers or to a G/L account before the periodic settlement.
It is good idea to do this for particular line items if there are additional costs assigned to a capital investment measure that should not be capitalized. This may be necessary, should you wish to monitor the total costs of the measure in controlling.
Use
Note that settlement type FUL permits quantity settlement for primary cost elements only.  You cannot settle quantities to assets.
Note that you cannot manually create or change a distribution rule with settlement type AUC.  This has the following effect on settlement rule maintenance:
The required rule is generated from the asset under construction, which is stored in the master data for a capital investment measure, ( order or WBS element)when you carry out settlement for the first time.
