Settlement transaction types

SAP appears to be inconsistent with their usage of transaction types as it relates to AuC's and project system.

To create a settlement rule we use transaction CJIC and specify the WBS element that has the costs that we want to settle. We have a one for one link between WBS elements and AuC's, so whatever costs are on the WBS are equally on the AuC's.

When running a capital spend settlement using either CJ88 or CJ8G the settlement type is set to automatic and SAP uses transaction type 114 for the settlement from the WBS element to the AuC. When running a capitalization settlement, generally as a partial capitalization, the system uses transaction types 331,336,338, & 339 on the AuC's and final assets.

However, if we settle from the AuC to a GL account in the case of a failed project SAP reverts back to using transaction type 114. I would think in this case either transaction type 200 or 250 would be more appropriate.


SAP uses transaction types 114-116 for the DR to the AuC (since it considers it an acquisition)...when you then place the final asset in service, SAP uses transaction types 3xx (since it considers this a transfer from one AuC asset to another final asset).

When you decide to expense the project, SAP will use the same initial tranaaction type 114-116 to CR the AuC and move the money back to the project and then DR your expense account.
