News for FICO Friends: ERP for Financials Customer Connection

I attended this SAP webcast this morning and was surprised at the low attendance.  There are many improvements in FI-CO and no, I am not talking "Simple Finance" but the core FI-CO modules.

KSII - PER Settlement Rule - Service Flow

When you work with PER settlement Rule on PM/CO Orders, and you post and settle activities with the same cost element, sometimes something called the Service Flow is triggered. Some time ago i spend time investigating about this stuff. A friend of mine tell me 'this is the system behavior', but don't explain me the reasons, i guess lot of people know about this but have never read the documentation.

OSS '156563 - Settlement after activity allocation/revaluation' explain this behavior of the system. I think this oss is a bit difficult to understand so in this document im going to post the step by step to recreate what i think is the most important.

Lets begin:
1. Create 2 cost centers
6000_PMSF01 Sender of the activity
6000_PMSF02 Settlement Cost Center of the PM Order
