These postings do not update general ledger transaction figures; they are postings that stay within controlling. If, however, an allocation in controlling changes the functional area or another characteristic that is relevant for financial accounting reports, the amounts shift between the affected items in the profit and loss statement. That information therefore has to be passed on to financial accounting. This reconciliation between controlling and financial accounting is handled by the real-time integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real-time integration passes all controlling documents on to financial accounting immediately. Financial accounting is therefore reconciled with controlling at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every posting in controlling creates a document in financial accounting. As a result, the reports in the new general ledger always show all the detailed information that the CO documents contain as well, broken down for example by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Functional area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal order<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integration<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real-time integration we have implemented replaces the reconciliation postings listed above.
