FI — External Accounting
Records all monetary transactions legally. Produces Balance Sheet, P&L, and Cash Flow statements for external stakeholders (auditors, tax authorities, investors). Mandatory by law.
CO — Internal Accounting
Provides cost visibility by cost center, product, project, or customer. Supports management decisions on pricing, budgeting, and profitability. Optional but critical.
Real-time Integration: Every posting in FI simultaneously updates CO. A vendor invoice posted in FI-AP also posts actual costs to the relevant CO cost center or internal order — automatically, with no manual intervention.

Settlement: At project completion, all costs are settled via KO8G to the destination object — typically a Fixed Asset (AUC → Asset), Cost Center, or CO-PA segment. This transfers the balance from the IO to its receiver, zeroing out the internal order.

CO-PA captures revenue and COGS from SD billing automatically. Overhead costs are allocated from Cost Centers using assessment cycles. You can then report profitability by ANY combination of characteristics — e.g. “Profitability of Product A sold online in APAC in Q3.”
