SAP PS - Settlement Profile

In a project, you collect cost and revenues temporarily and they have to settle as part of period end processing. You need a settlement profile stored in project profile or network type, which determines whether settlement is required, allowed, or blocked.

You can use the settlement profile to define the following for actual costs −

• Full Settlement
• Can be settled
• Not to be settled

As per the settings in the settlement profile, there is a need to settle the costs of an object in full before that object is achieved in the system.
