Hi everyone!
I have two questions:
1. SAP Book says "Accrued costs do not have a corresponding expense in Financial Accounting. They are only accrued for cost-accounting purposes."
My question: if this is the case why SAP requires to create accrual account as primary cost element with CE categor 3 or 4. This means that we should define expense G/L first? & also if this, for cost-accounting purposes why it's allowed by SAP to transfer document from CO to FI , after executing T-code KSA3?
2. I read also that "You would only establish accruals in CO for costs that should not be spread in FI, but you want them to be spread across periods for costing purposes. for example, labor costs relevant to salaries, such as bonuses".
My question: what is the benefit to calculate accrual via CO only, even for bonus we can use Recurring Entries functionality which will be created in FI and Passed to CO?
Could anyone give me any practical example from his/her experience for any kind of costs that should not be spread in FI and should be calculated in CO only?

Ibrahim Mohamed
