Question

   1.creation of Purchasing order.
  2.creating the Goods receipt-GR
  3.creating the invoice
  4. vendor payment
Please help me.

Answer 1

hi
kindly note the date flow to the CO module is based on the account assignmed you use in each of the above transaction.
For example if you use the Account Assignment as 'F' in the PO ME21n, then you need to specify the internal order in the PO.
thus the data in the PO shall move to the Internal Order (a CO object).
Cost assignment objects like Cost Center,profit Center , Internal Orders can be assigned in Line items for each FI document which will result in flow of data to the CO objects.
During vendor payment, the FI entry would be Dr Expense & Cr, Vendor.
If controlling is active and you have assigned the Company code to a controlling area, then you will need to specify the cost center in the expense line item.
this will ensure that data moves to the controlling objects.
hope this helps.
