FI and Statutory Reporting

• What is Financial Accounting (FI)? – The module in SAP used to support financial statutory reporting

of legal entities

• What is included in statutory reporting?– Balance sheet – reports the Assets, Liabilities and Equity (value)

of a company

– Profit and loss statement – reports revenue, expenditure and profit/loss made year to date. At the end of a fiscal year all accounts in the P&L are reset to zero with the profit/loss transferred to equity in the balance sheet

– Tax Reports – BAS statements

– Other reports include Company cash flow

16

• What is the FI module used for?– FI is used for reporting a company’s financial position and

activity to statutory bodies and other external parties• For example, Company Balance Sheet (B/S), Profit and Loss

(P&L) and tax reporting FI

• What is the CO module used for?– CO is used for internal company reporting (e.g., showing

what areas/departments within the company are making money and where the money is being spent (controlling expenditure)).

• For example, Department expenditure actual vs. budget CO

Financial Accounting (FI) vs. Controlling (CO)

17

• Legal requirements dictate content, format and structure of reports in FI

• The content, format and structure of CO reports are determined by the company

• All financial reporting must adhere to standard Accounting practices and principles

Financial Accounting (FI) vs. Controlling (CO) (cont.)

18

• The general ledger is a list of account balances for a specific company. It is used to produce legal financial statements and other statutory reports.

• All accounting transactions relevant to a company are recorded in the General Ledger; then, if applicable, P&L transactions are posted through to CO.

• Where it is not practical to list all accounts of a specific category in the GL, e.g., customers, they are totalled and rolled up into one account (reconciliation account). The list of customer accounts (AR) is then a sub ledger of the general ledger. Other sub ledgers are vendors (AP), fixed assets, material stock balances, work orders and capital projects.

General Ledger and Sub Ledgers (1 of 3)

19

• Transactions posted to sub ledgers are automatically rolled up into the General Ledger reconciliation accounts

• Customer (AR) and vendor (AP) reconciliation accounts cannot be posted to directly. All other reconciliation accounts need to be set up as post automatically only

• All transactions from other modules that have a financial impact are integrated with the FI and CO modules; e.g., Material Management - goods receipt

24

Classic GL vs. New GL

• SAP’s R/3 Enterprise GL is now called Classic GL

• Both Classic and New GL are available to our clients

– You will have to be familiar with both of them

• Throughout this course, we will point out New GL functionality

• Core concepts of Enterprise Structure, Chart of Accounts, AR, AP, and Banking have not changed.

25

• We can add new nodes through the configuration (for example, for customized reports)

Cleared Items

Agenda – Day 1

30

Core Concept s

• Chart of Accounts– Sometimes referred to as the “what”

– Describes the nature of an account

– Examples: Sales, Consulting Expense, Accounts Receivable

• Enterprise Structure– Sometimes referred to as the “where”

– Describes “where” in the enterprise a transaction occurred

– Examples: Accenture’s OG’s, SI&T, etc.

– Use multiple objects for different views (more later!!)

• Together they provide the details required to meet the reporting requirements of the Enterprise.

31

Company Code: Basis of Enterprise Structure

• Company code represents a legal entity of the organisation. Configure one company code for each legal entity.

• Financial statements and statutory reporting (B/S, P&L, taxation reporting, etc.) are produced per company code

• SAP company code configuration includes:

– Defining the company code, an alphanumeric field of 4 characters (for example, A001, 0700)

– Assigning country, currency, language, chart of accounts, fiscal year, tax procedure, posting period variant & field status variant

Note: Company configuration is only required if consolidations is being used.

32

• Chart of Accounts• Account Groups• Retained Earnings• Field Status Groups• GL Master Data and

Maintenance– Account Groups– Field Status Groups– Account Currency– Tax Category– Reconciliation Account– Line item Display– Open Item Management– Automatic Posting– Sort Key

General Ledger – Master Data

• GL Account Maintenance• FI Document Structure• FI Document Header• FI Document Line Items• Document Number Range• Tolerance Groups

33

• The Chart of Accounts (COA) is a list of all accounts used in the General Ledger; i.e., B/S and P&L accounts

• At a minimum the COA must have the accounts required to support the statutory reporting requirements and standard account practices. More accounts can be added for more detail and control

• The COA is assigned to company code in company code parameters configuration

• Accounts are only to represent the” what” not the “where and what”. The where is captured in the Enterprise Structure.– For example, an account for “maintenance labour” is incorrect. Account for

“labour” is correct.

Chart of Accounts (1 of 4)

34

• One chart of accounts can be used for > 1 company code. – If an Organisation has multiple company codes, it is

recommended that each company use the same COA; i.e., a standard COA. It ensures apples are being compared to apples when external and internal company consolidated reports are created.

– The New GL functionality allows only one COA.


35

• Typical account structure

C – Account class: 1 = Assets

2 = Liabilities

3 = Equities

4 = Sales

5 = Cost of Sales

6 = Expense, etc.

G1 – Account group, a breakdown of each account class (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)

G2 – Subgroup, a breakdown of each account group (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)

NNN – sequential number

C G1 G2 N N N


36

• Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss– There are two types of accounts in the GL master

record: Balance Sheet accounts and P & L Statement accounts.

– These two types of accounts are treated differently in the closing procedure:• For balance sheet accounts, the balance is carried forward

to the same account. Balance Sheet represents the Organisation financial data at any given time; i.e., accumulative figure

• For P & L statement accounts, the balance is carried forward to a retained earnings account and the P & L statement is set to zero. Profit & Loss represents financial data for a certain period.


37

• Account groups are used to simplify report design and other processing.

• Define Account Group - OBD4– IMG Path: General Ledger Accounting>GL Accounts>Master Records>Preparations>

Define Account Group

Account Group

Account Group is defined per Chart of Account

Account range restriction can be defined or left blank

38

Retained Earning Account• Retained earnings account is assigned to each P&L

account by specifying a P&L statement account type in the chart of accounts area of each P&L account

• At the end of a fiscal year, the system carries forward the balance of the P&L account to the retained earnings account. You can define one or more P&L statement account types per chart of accounts and assign them to retained earnings accounts

• Note: It is chart of accounts dependent

39

Field Status Group• Not all GL accounts require the same information to be

collected for business transactions• Configuration of field status groups determines which fields are

populated for which accounts• Screen layouts are the screens that users will see with

selected fields available for use. Different GL accounts may need a certain field that another set of accounts requires.

• Determines the screen layout for document entry

40

Field Status Group (cont.)• Fields can have the following statuses:

• Optional entry – you can enter data in the field• Mandatory entry – you must enter data in the field• Suppressed – the field does not appear on the screen

• Use– Enter the field status group in the master record of a GL account.

When you enter a document, the definitions stored for the group are effective

• Dependencies– The field status when you create a document also depends on the

posting key– The field status groups available are those grouped together in a field

status variant and assigned to your company code

41

• GL accounts are split into two levels: Chart of Accounts level and Company Code level

• Chart of Accounts level holds information that is valid for all company codes assigned to the Chart of Accounts while company code level setup is only applicable for the company code

• Chart of Accounts level:– Account Number and Description– B/S or P& L account– Account Group

GL Master Data Creation and Maintenance

42

• Company Code level:

– Account Group

– Field Status Group

– Account Currency

– Tax Category

– Reconciliation account

– Line Item Display

– Open Item Management

– Automatic Posting

– Sort Key

• GL accounts can only be used by company codes where the company code view has been created

GL Master Data Creation and Maintenance (cont.)

43

• Account group: Validates the number range and determines the screen layout (which fields are mandatory/optional/suppressed) when creating a GL account

• Field status group: Determines the screen layout (which fields are mandatory/optional/suppressed) when the account is used in a transaction

GL – Master Data (1 of 6)

44

• Account currency: Determines allowable currency for the account– Local Account can be posted to in any currencies.

Foreign amounts that are posted are converted to local currency

– Foreign Account can be posted to in ONLY the nominated foreign currency

− Balance in Local Currency determines whether a foreign exchange gain or loss will be posted when clearing in different currencies (must be an open item-managed account). Transaction figures will only be kept in local currency for the account that has this setting on


45

• Tax category: Determines allowable tax code for the account– Can be specific tax code or can be group of tax codes;

for example,S1 account should be posted with tax code S1

(Note: S1 is configurable)+ only output tax allowed (tax on goods sold; i.e.,

assign to revenue accts) only input tax allowed (tax on goods bought;

i.e., assign to expense accounts)* all tax types allowed

– Posting without tax allowed option


46

• Reconciliation account: Defines it as roll-up account from either AR, AP, or asset sub ledgers and prevents it being posted to directly

• Line item display: Allows the individual entries posted to the account to be displayed rather than just the account balance – System allows this setting to be changed; however,

line items will only be available for documents posted when the line item display is checked


47

• Open item management: Used to help with reconciling an account balance. Accounts with this option have each entry flagged as either open or cleared item. Cleared items are a group of debit and credit entries that have been linked together as their total is zero. All clearing accounts need open item management switched on; e.g., bank clearing– As long as the account has any balance; i.e., has some

accounting postings to it, system does not allow this setup to be changed

– Only applicable to balance sheet accounts – Line item display must also be activated on the account– Cannot be a reconciliation account


48

• Automatic posting: Accounts with this option could not be directly posted to that the postings should be generated automatically from sub-modules; i.e., reconciliation accounts

• Supplement for automatic postings: Indicates line items that are generated automatically by the system for this account can be supplemented manually

• Sort key: Determine default entries in the Assignment field for the account line items for additional reference/informational purpose– For example, posting date, document date


49

• GL accounts can be blocked to prevent any journals being posted to it. It can be unblocked later on, if necessary

- For example, conversion accounts• GL Mark for deletion is the flag used by the archiving

run to determine which accounts are to be removed. If the account to be marked for deletion is a balance sheet account, it MUST have a zero balance

• Blocking and mark for deletion can be set at the either the company code or COA levels

GL – Accounts Maintenance

50

• Every transaction is recorded in at least one FI document. The document will have unique number per fiscal year- The document number range is set up in the

configuration as internally or externally/user defined

- External numbering is not widely used because users need to keep track of the last number outside the system. Can be used if it is desirable to have “intelligent” numbering

FI Document Structure

51

• FI document consists of header and line items

Document headerGeneral data applicable toentire document

Document line item • Debits and credits• Posted journal will have

balanced debit and credit; i.e., debit amount = credit amount

• Max 999 lines

Note: There are other documents in SAP; e.g., CO document, MM document, SD document, etc. Each will have its own numbering and rules

FI Document Structure (cont.)

52

• Document type:– Used to identify the type of transaction for the benefit of

searching, reporting and analysis Examples: DR Customer Invoice

DZ Customer PaymentKR Vendor InvoiceKZ Vendor Payment SA GL Journal

– Document number ranges are assigned in configuration per doc type. Keep SAP standard where possible

– Can control the type of accounts that can be used with that document type

• For example, prevent entering a vendor in customer invoice

FI Document Structure: Header

53

FI Document Structure: Header (cont.)

• Posting date: Determines the posting period the transaction is posted to

• Document date: Identifies the date of the original document that is used as a basis of posting into the system; e.g., the invoice issue date

54

FI Document Structure: Line Items

• Posting key: Determines the following for line items:

– If the line item is debit or credit

– Type of account that can be entered• D – Debtors; i.e., customers

• K – Creditors; i.e., vendors

• S – General Ledger

• A – Assets

• M – Materials

– Layout of entry screen; i.e., which fields are optional, mandatory, suppressed

Example:

Debit 01 Customer Invoice21 Vendor Credit Memo40 Debit GL

Credit 11 Customer Credit Memo31 Vendor Invoice50 Credit GL

55

FI Document Structure: Line Items (cont.)

• Account: Indicates the account the entry is posted to (i.e., customer account, vendor account, GL account or asset number)

56

• Accounting Document Number Range (FBN1)IMG Path: Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings> Document> Document Number Ranges> Overview

Number Ranges is year dependent

User should manually specify the doc number if the External Numbering is checked

Last FI document posted within the number range

Document Number Range

57

Tolerance Groups

• In this activity, you predefine various amount limits for your employees with which you determine:– Maximum document amount the employee is

authorized to post– Maximum amount the employee can enter as a line

item in a customer or vendor account– Maximum cash discount percentage the employee can

grant in a line item– Maximum acceptable tolerance for payment differences

for the employee

58

Tolerance Groups (cont.)

• Payment differences are posted automatically within certain tolerance groups. This way the system can post the difference by correcting the cash discount or by posting to a separate expense or revenue account

• In this respect you define:– The amounts or percentage rates up to which the system is to

automatically post to a separate expense or revenue account if it is not possible to correct the cash discount or

– Up to which difference amounts the system is to correct the cash discount. In this case the cash discount is automatically increased or decreased by the difference. using tolerance groups.

• Note: The same rules usually apply to a group of employees, enter the values for employee groups. You can then enter amount limits and tolerances per employee group and company , so you can also additionally differentiate these settings by company code

Cost Centre

• Cost Centre is an organisational unit within a company that is used to track where costs occurred within the Organisation (i.e., as a cost collector)

– Cost Centre hierarchy needs to be defined in the system

– The hierarchy represents cost Organisation structure of the company

– If Profit Centre is implemented in the system, the Cost Centre is assigned to the Profit centre. Many cost centres can be assigned to the same profit centre.

– Part of Cost Controlling (CO) - Overhead Management

73

Profit Centre• Profit Centre provides information to measure the profitability

within the Organisation – Record cost/expense (from the Cost Centre or any other cost

object), revenue, and B/S items

– Profit Centre structure/hierarchy is defined based on the company Organisation structure

– Profit Centre can go across company codes

– Part of Cost Controlling (CO) – Profit Centre Accounting (Classic GL) or part of General Ledger (New GL)

Note: Define Segment so that you can enter an associated segment in the master record of a profit Centre. The segment is then derived from the assigned Profit Centre during posting within New GL.

• Fiscal Year - Fiscal Year Variant – Impacts how data is reported to regulatory,

authorities and shareholders.– The fiscal year can be configured as a calendar year or user defined

• For example, Accenture’s fiscal year begins at 1st Sept– A fiscal period can be calendar months or user defined– SAP provides 4 special posting periods. These are for use during year

end close. Each time the year end figures are reviewed, the adjustments can be posted into a new special period. The use of them is optional. They can only be posted to if the posting date falls in the last fiscal period

– Periods are closed in the system to prevent documents from being posted to an incorrect posting period after the period closing

IMG Path: Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Fiscal Year> Assign Company Code to a Fiscal Year Variant


79

Posting Period Variant

• Posting Period

– A function for controlling which accounting periods can be updated as new transactions are posted

– First we define the Variant for Open period posting and attach the same to the company code, one posting period can be attached to more than one company code

– Then we attach this variant to the period and year combination which are open for financial posting

– We can also assign the GL account numbers which will be available for posting during that period

80

Posting Period Variant (cont.)

• Posting Period (Screen Shot)– With variant we attach the account type for which posting period

will be open, the GL account no., period and fiscal year

81

• Tax Procedure– Calculate and accurately book tax liabilities for sales

and use or VAT type taxes in the GL at the time of GR or IR

• Extended Tax Witholding will be covered in Accounts Payable on Day 3

Taxes

82

• Tax configuration is setup at country level. One country is assigned to one Calculation Procedure– The tax procedure for Australia is TAXAU– Calculation procedure consists of condition types i.e. types

of tax applicable for the procedure• For example, GST output tax (selling goods), GST input tax

(buying goods)• Condition type is attached to Account key

• Tax code identifies the tax types– Tax code is also setup at country level– The tax code is user defined – Typical configuration: create a tax code for each relevant G

code in the BAS statement

Tax Procedure

83

• The Tax code is linked to a tax account

- The tax calculated by the tax procedure is posted to tax accounts in the GL through Account key in Tcode OB40

- The system derives the GL account from the tax types (e.g., output tax, input tax) and tax codes

- Typically, we have 2 tax accounts; i.e., one for input tax, the other for output

• The tax base amount can be configured to be before or after discounts are applied

Tax Procedure (cont.)

New Segment Fields (1 of 5)

• New “Segment” Account Assignment Object– Segment is a new account assignment object that you can use

to segregate your financial position and performance– Balanced books per segment can be created– Segments are defined to provide financial information by line of

business, or by geographical area or management area

90


– Segment is a new cost object that can be used for segment reporting

– Segment information can be populated either manually or automatically• Assign segment field in the profit centre master data to derive

segment automatically• If profit centre master data is not used, custom derivation rules can

be defined with BADIFAL_DERIVE_SEGMENT to derive segment automatically

• Manually update segment information at the time of the financial posting

91


• It is recommended to populate segment field by assigning segments to profit centres

92

New Segment Fields (4 of 5)• You cannot change segments in the Profit Centre master

once they’re created and used • Segments can be assigned in Profit Centre master data

93

New Segment Fields (5 of 5)• To activate segments in the IMG:

– Define segments– Derive the segments– Maintain the field status group in the FI accounts:

• The Segment field can be found in group Additional Accounts assignments

– Maintain the field Status of the corresponding posting key– Maintain scenarios:

• The segmentations scenario have to be defined for the corresponding ledger

94

Highlights and Key Functionality of ECC 5.0/6.0

• New: General Ledger extensions:– Features:

• Organisations can add dimensions to General Ledger as needed or as business evolves

• Extendible General Ledger that uses standard data structure• Maintains existing functionality from your current General Ledger in

SAP R/3 or R/3 Enterprise– Benefits

• Quickly modify General Ledger to fit business needs• Reduce requirements for technical migration or training• Eliminates need to maintain separate special ledgers

reporting)• Almost the same functionality for all ledgers• Online posting to multiple ledgers• Postings per specific ledger• Closing activities can be run in parallel ledgers simultaneously• Standard reporting for multiple ledgers• The use of parallel accounts is still supported within the

Sanctioned Party List (SPL)

97

Multiple Ledgers

• One Leading ledger and multiple non-leading ledgers can be created in the client

• Features of leading ledger:– Leading Ledger represents the accounting policy and

basic books of accounts of the company code– Local/Parallel currencies and fiscal year of the leading

ledger are adopted from the company code– Leading ledger is the default ledger for all postings– The leading ledger is based on the same accounting

principle as that of the consolidated financial statement. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes (if posting is not ledger specific)

98

Multiple Ledgers (cont.)• Features of non-leading ledger:

– Creation of non-leading ledgers is optional– One or more non-leading ledgers may be created to:

• Maintain books of accounts for a fiscal year different from company's code fiscal year

• Post reporting entries, revaluations, readjustments only to the non-leading ledger

– Non-leading ledger can follow other the accounting principles/standards applicable for a company code

– For each ledger that you create, a ledger group of the same name is automatically created

99

Ledger Configuration

• Multiple ledgers – one ledger is defined as leading ledger

100

Currencies for the Leading Ledger

• Define currencies of leading ledger – Specify the currencies to be applied in the leading

ledger. You can make the following settings for each company code:

• The local currency (as company code currency) is specified in the company code settings

• You can define one or two additional local currencies that you store per company code parallel to the first local currency

101

Additional Local Currencies for Company Code

• Additional local currencies for company code– Change the Additional Local Currencies for Company

Code view

102

Non-Leading Ledger

• Define and Activate Non-leading ledger – Activate the non-leading ledgers in the company code.– Define additional currencies beyond that of the leading ledger. The

first currency of a non-leading ledger is always the currency of the leading ledger. For the second and third currencies of a non-leading ledger, you can only use currency types that you have specified for the leading ledger

– Different fiscal year variant other than leading ledgers can be assigned to non-leading ledger. If you do not enter a fiscal year variant, the fiscal year variant of the company code is used automatically

103

Assign Scenarios & Custom Fields to Ledgers

• We assign to our ledgers the following based on our requirement:– Scenarios

• Determines what fields in a ledger are updated when it receives posting from other application components

– Custom Fields• Enables you add custom fields (that you have already defined)

to the ledger– Versions

• Enables you to make general version settings for the ledger that depend on the fiscal year. In the versions, you specify whether actual data is recorded, whether manual planning is allowed, and whether planning integration with Controlling is activated

104

Activate Cost Of Sales Accounting

• In Europe, all publicly-traded companies must submit their consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), some companies can choose to report under the Cost of Sales Method

• Cost of Sales Accounting– Identifies where costs originate in a company

– Identifies the economic reason for a particular expense

– Expenses are classified by functional area

• Activating the Cost of Sales Accounting is an optional setting

105

Activate Cost Of Sales Accounting (cont.)

• Impacts for Cost of Sales Accounting – Cost of Sales Accounting must be activated

– Functional areas must be used to sort your operating expenses

– Settings to activate Cost of Sales are: • Define your functional areas• Assign a functional area to the master data of the account

assignment objects• Derive functional areas for postings, and define substitutions • Define the ledger for cost of sales

• By activating Cost of Sales accounting, the functional areas are derived and updated in the ledger

106

Ledger Group

• While posting accounting document, ledger group determines which ledgers would get posted

• One or more ledgers can be added in the ledger group

• The system creates a ledger group for every ledger

107

Ledger Group (cont.)• In the ledger group:

– A single ledger has to be identified as representative ledger

– If the ledger group has leading ledger, then leading must always be defined as representative ledger

– If all the ledgers in the ledger group have a different fiscal year variant than that of the company code, you can designate any ledger as the representative ledger

– If on ledger in the ledger group has the same fiscal year variant as that of the company code, then that ledger must be defined as the representative ledger

108

Parallel Accounting • In one entity, different accounting principles can be

applicable so that need can be handled through Parallel accounting where we can create different accounting principles that are applicable to the entity

• Assign the accounting principle to the ledger group so that reports based on the principle can be taken

109

Example: Parallel Ledgers – Posting to a Specific Ledger Group

• New transaction allows you to post an FI document to a specific ledger group– Example: post statutory adjustments for ledgers used to

produce financial statements based upon different accounting principals• Enter GL Acct Document for Ledger Group

Use new Tcode FB50L to post to a specific ledger

110

Document Splitting

• New: Online splits– Features:

• Allows Organisations to simplify the generation of financial statements and reports on segments or dimensions that are unique to their industry

• Documents are automatically balanced online by any chosen dimension

– Benefits:• Supports transparency and fast closes• Simplifies ability to report by industry-specific requirements• Greater internal control when generating industry-specific financial

statements

Online Integration between FI and CO Modules

• New: Real-time integration– Features:

• Supports real-time integration of financial and management accounting in mySAP ERP

• Any postings from management accounting (e.g., cost centre allocations) are automatically reflected in the general ledger at the appropriate level of detail

– Benefits• Eliminates need for separate reconciliation ledger• Eliminates reconciliation processes between financial and

managerial accounting• Increases opportunity to close month end books faster

Example – Classic GL Versus New GL

Note:

• The PCA tables are no longer used with the New GL; therefore, the PCA reports are not available

• You may need to create some custom reports if the Profit Centre reporting in the GL is not sufficient

Cleared Items

Agenda – Day 1

116

• Document Posting– Direct– Automatic– Recurring– Post with Reference– Account Assignment Templates– Validation– Substitution– Park– Reverse– Re-set Open Items

• Maintain Exchange Rates• Open and Cleared Items

General Ledger – Business Transactions & Open and Cleared Items

117

• FI Document Posting– Once the document is posted, the system only allows limited

fields to be changed• Posting Date, Document type, Currency, Exchange Rate,

Posting Key, Accounts, Amount, Cost object cannot be changed

• Reference, Assignment, Text can be changed– A document posting may update multiple parts of SAP

Financials– New GL documents can post to one or multiple ledgers– Examples: Classic GL – FI & PCA, New GL – parallel ledgers– An error message will not permit posting; the user must stop

– A warning message will allow the user to still proceed by pressing Enter.

FI Document Posting

118

• Direct posting:– Directly posted in GL– Can only be done to accounts without Automatic Entry

option– Document type SA, Tcode FB50/FB01– E.g., tax adjustment posting, bank reconciliation

• Automatic posting:– From sub-ledger or other modules– For accounts with Automatic Entry setup in the master

data– For example, depreciation (from Asset Management),

vendor invoice (from MM)

FI Document Posting (cont.)

119

• Recurring entry (Tcode F.14)– For posting the same journal into the system (same

posting keys, accounts, and amount)

– Scheduled to run on certain date or periodically for the certain period of time

– E.g., amortization journal, loan repayment journal, rental payment

Post with reference (Tcode F-01)

– System will auto populate the fields according to the reference document; i.e., another FI document that has already been posted

FI Document Posting – Direct Posting with Template

120

• Account assignment model (Tcode FKMT)– Journal template that is created and stored in the

system. User selects the account assignment upon posting

– The account assignment does not need to be balanced. Checking will only be done by the system at document posting

FI Document Posting – Direct Posting with Template (cont.)

121

• Validation can be set up in the configuration where users should enter certain value(s) for certain kind of posting– Set in the configuration using Tcode OB28– Help control data integrity– If the validation criteria are not met, error or warning

messages could be set up– Validation examples:

• For document type KR, reference field at the document header should be populated

• For posting in local currency, only payment term XXX could be used

• GL account xxxxxx could only be posted to cost centre ABCQuestion: What is the difference between warning and error Question: What is the difference between warning and error message?message?

FI Document Posting – Validation

122

• Substitution is to replace one value with another automatically upon document posting

– Set in the configuration using Tcode OBBH

– Help control data integrity

– Performed before validation; i.e., the values are substituted first and then validated

– Has no messages

– Transparent to the users

– Substitution examples:• All postings to cost centre A in company code 0100 need

to be booked to cost centre B

FI Document Posting – Substitution

123

• Park document – Park transaction can be used if the accounting

document is to be saved, but it is not desirable to post the document yet; e.g., the document needs to be reviewed by a supervisor, complete supporting document has not been received yet, etc.

– Park document does not update GL until the document is released

– If park facilities is utilized, checking of park document list should be included in the month end activities

Other Transactions (1 of 3)

124

• Reverse document (Tcode FB08)– System will cancel the accounting document; i.e.,

generate opposite entries for the items– Reversal will clear accounts that are managed as open

items– Reversal cannot be undone– Reversal in FI can only be done if the document

• Contains no cleared items • Was posted directly from Financial Accounting (documents

that were posted from other modules such as MM or SD need to be cancelled/reversed in the originated module)

• All entered values (such as cost centre and tax code) are still valid


125

• Reverse document (cont.)

– Reversal Reason• Must be entered • Control whether the reversal date is allowed to be different from the

original posting date• Defined in the configuration

• Reset open item (Tcode FBRA)

- Breaking the grouping between cleared items and clearing document

- System does not allow cleared items to be reversed until the clearing is reset

- Use Reset and reverse option to break the link and reverse the clearing document


126

• Maintain Exchange Rate (Tcode OB08)– There could be more than one valid exchange rate in the system for

different purposes; i.e., accounting, tax reporting, costing– Accounting will use exchange rate type “M” for translating document

currency (i.e., currency specified at the document header) to local currency (i.e., currency specified at company code definition)

Exchange rate type

Validity date

Support of Multiple Currencies

127

Maintain Exchange Rate

• Below is the print shot that shows the exchange rate, which is picked from Tcode OB08 table; i.e., 1 USD = 44 INR

128

• Open and Cleared Items– SAP provides functionality to link and match one item to

another (i.e., customer invoice with payment, vendor invoice with payment, invoice with credit memo) to help manage account reconciliation

– Open items: unfinished transactions. Open items need to be matched/cleared against a clearing document to be settled and become cleared items

• Are line items in an account that have not be grouped with any other line item.

• E.g., an invoice needs payment to be completed open items in the system in this case indicate unpaid invoice or payment that has not been applied to any invoices

Setting Accounts for Open Item Management

129

– Cleared items: the transactions are completed. • Cleared items are a group of debit and credit line items in

an account that have been linked together and their total is zero

• The entries are grouped by the clearing document number

• Clearing can be done manually by user selection or automatically as set up in the configuration

– All clearing and provision accounts should have the open item management flag turned on in the GL account master data
