SAP Note 106977 - FAQ: CO Component without FI

Note Language: English Version: 1 Validity: Valid Since 11.09.2001

Summary

SymptomCan we use the CO component by itself, without entering documents in FI? Ifso, how do we then enter the data?

Additional key words

Cause and prerequisites

SolutionThe use of CO without FI is rare.

You can use CO independently of FI, but not entirely. At the very least,COrequires rudimentary configuration of the following in FI:

o One chart of accounts

o One company code

o Field status groups

o General ledger accounts belonging to the company code

You may then enter data by batch input.

If you want to use CO for nothing other than internal allocations, you canconfigure a closed cost accounting system by defining a special, uniquecost center to receive the batch input to CO.
