EXPERTS:-

. WHAT IS THE REAL OBJECT/STASTICAL OBJECT or REAL ORDER AND STASTICAL ORDER BOTH ARE THE SAME ONE.

(MY request is the same or not ) ....

This will be a good material in understanding TRUE and Statistical orders:

For postings in external accounting that use a cost element as the account, you need to use a special account assignment logic. This enables the SAP system to ensure that data is reconcilable with all the relevant application components. These rules for the account assignment logic always apply for postings in internal accounting (Controlling).

<b>Account assignment distinguishes between true and statistical Controlling objects.

True Controlling Objects</b>

Cost centers (for account assignment of costs)

Orders (true)

Projects (true)

Networks

Make-to-order sales orders

Cost objects

Profitability segments

Real estate objects

Business Processes

You can use true Controlling objects as senders or receivers.

Statistical Controlling Objects

Cost centers (for account assignment of revenues)

Cost centers, if a true account assignment object already exists

Statistical internal orders

Statistical projects

Profit centers

You can indicate internal orders and projects in each master record as statistical.

You can also specify Statistical Controlling objects as account assignment objects in addition to true Controlling objects. You cannot allocate costs on statistical Controlling objects to other objects. Account assignments are for information purposes only. You can make statistical assignments to any number of Controlling objects.

<b>Following example will help you in understanding the postings:</b>

You enter costs of 100 USD for statistical order 40010. The order also stores the posting to cost center 2330. Cost center 2330 is assigned to profit center P100.

Because this is a statistical order, the cost center is the true account assignment object for this posting. The system also posts the costs statistically to the order and to the profit center.

The system records costs of 100 USD on cost center 2330 and on the order 40020. Cost center 2330 is assigned to profit center P100.

Orders and cost centers are true Controlling objects. The system therefore posts the costs as true costs to the order and as statistical costs to the cost center. In addition, the system posts the costs statistically to the profit center.

You enter revenues of 200 USD on cost center 2330. Cost center 2330 is assigned to profit center P100.

As you cannot make true revenue postings to a cost center, the SAP system derives a summarized reconciliation object as the true account assignment object. The system also makes a statistical posting of the costs to the cost center, and to the profit center.
