A customer is using sales order controlling. How are the revenues and cost of goods sold transferred to CO-PA?

Results analysis calculates work in process (WIP) and reserves for unrealized costs or revenues, but it doesn't directly transfer actual revenues and COGS to CO-PA for final profitability reporting.

In scenarios with sales order controlling (e.g., make-to-order production), costs and revenues accumulate on the sales order or a related WBS element. At period-end or order completion, these amounts are transferred to other CO objects, including CO-PA, via the settlement process, which uses a settlement rule to determine the CO-PA characteristics.

Billing transfers actual revenues to the sales order and FI, but the transfer from the sales order to CO-PA (especially for both revenues and COGS in a controlling scenario) typically happens during settlement.

Outbound delivery primarily triggers the posting of the cost of goods sold (COGS) to inventory and the sales order, but the full transfer to CO-PA in a sales order controlling scenario is handled by settlement.
