Documentation

Definition

When you select the option "Direct posting", all selected billing documents are transferred into Profitability Analysis.

No validity check occurs to test whether individual billing documents have already been posted to COPA. Billing documents that have already been posted are not canceled in COPA.

You should only select this option if you are absolutely sure that the quantity of data records to be posted does not include any data records already present. You can be certain that this is the case if, for example, data is being transferred for the first time to COPA. If data records posted previously are included and the option is selected, any data records already present in COPA will be present in duplicate after the transaction!
