Real (time) posting in CO is transfer of Primary costs directly from the other
components of R/3 such as FI, FI-AA, MM, PP, PS. This is achieved by
entering a CO object (such as cost center or internal order) during account
assignment.

The statistical posting can be defined as transfer of entry wherever the CO object is not
directly assigned but derives the entries thru a real (time) posting to other CO objects or in
any other R/3 components. Statistical posting is pre-dominantly used in PCA. Statistical
Posting is for the sake of information only.

Thanks GANSHA for quick reply.
I'm worried about impact of changing current business process. Currently accountants post
costs with link to Cost Center. We need to start to post to both Order and Cost Center. So, I'd
like to understand, what kind of impact could we have because of this.
Can you tell me what kind of impact could be?

An internal order is not a static object, but has its own life cycle that begins when you create
it and ends after you close it. During this time, the internal order is changed by various
business transactions. For example, costs are planned, posted and settled for it.
Hence you have to configure the posting to Internal Order as real posting and the posting to
Cost Center as statistical. In other words, your accountants have to post costs with link to
Internal Orders.
Please also refer to the message posted by Kodam AV.

Hello
For each and every posting in FI (G/L Accounts of P&L nature only) there will be a
corresponding posting in CO. In the normal course, such posting in CO happens only once.
However due to excellent system architecture of SAP, (if an enterprise desires) it is possible
to have postings more than once. In such cases, the 1st posting to a CO Object (e.g. Internal
Order) is called real posting where as the 2nd posting / subsequent postings to another CO
Object (e.g. Cost Centre) is known as statistical posting. (Even though postings are
duplicated, balances are not as there is interesting business logic behind such duplication.)
Thus FI and CO is always in balance. (Need less to mention statistical postings in CO are NOT
taken into account for this balancing purpose).
Hope this helps.

Dear all,
one clarification needed. If I post to both Order and CCtr. Then Order gets real posting, CCtr
gets statistical. This is clear.
In this case is FI-SL tables (like GLTO1) updated against CCtr? Or it is updated against Order
only?
