1.1 Organizational Units

1. Client
○ At highest level in ERP system
○ Data entered at client level used for all organizational units
○ Each client has its own set of master data

1. Important organizational units in FI

• Company code:
○ Independent legal entity
○ For external purpose

• Business Area
○ For internal purpose
○ Can be used across company codes
○ Can have financial statement for each Business Area

1. Create company code steps

• Copy co. code
• Copies :
○ Definition (company name)
○ Global parameters (COA, Fiscal year, Co code default)
○ Tables
○ G/L a/c’s
○ Account determination
• Now edit this data
○ Address
○ Company code currency: This is company code / local currency. All
other currencies are foreign currencies.
○ Language Key
○ Country key: This is home country. All other countries are foreign
countries

1.1 Exercise: Organizational Units

1. Copy company code

• Tcode: EC01
• Data : MR03
 • Change company code definition
• Tcode: SPRO – ES- Def. – FA- Edit, copy, Del- Check co. code- Edit
company code data
• Data:
Co. code MR03
Country US
Currency USD
Language EN

1. Enter company code Global Parameters

Company code MR03
Company 1000
COA INT
Fiscal Year Variant 33
Field status variant 1000
Posting Period MR05
Variant

1.1 Variant Principle

1. Variant Principle: A 3 step method to assign properties to one / more objects

2. Steps:
○ Define variant ( K4 Fiscal year variant)
○ Determine values for the variant defined: Variant properties
○ Assign variant to objects : Assign variant K4 to object company code

1.1 Fiscal Year

1. Fiscal Year Variant:
○ Define a fiscal year with posting periods
○ Fiscal year contain posting periods + Special posting periods
○ Maximum periods = 16
○ System derive period for a document from the posting date
○ Special posting period:
○ Used for yearend closing transactions. Posting date falls in last period,
can post in special posting period
○ E.g.: FY with PP = 12 and special period = 4. Transaction date falls in
12th posting period can post in 4th special (16th) period.

2. Year Independent Fiscal Year Variant:

• FYV uses same number of periods each year
• Posting period start and ends on the same date every year
 • Can be Calendar Year .Here PP = 12 months of the year
• Can be non calendar year
○ Here PP # 12 months of the year. PP can be from 1 to 16.
○ Need to assign end date for each posting period
○ Need to assign indicator -/+ as required
○ e.g Apr to Mar. For Jan, Feb & Mar year shift of -1 as belongs to old
fiscal year

1.1 Exercise: Fiscal Year

zero
• A key is assigned to RE a/c which is the entered in the P/L statement
a/c type

1. Account Group for GL a/c

• Grouping of similar types of accounts. E.g. cash a/c, liquid funds a/c,
fixed assets a/c, Expense a/c
• Account group has a number range. For G/L accounts it’s always
internal number assignment
• Account group controls the display of fields (Field status: Display/
Change ...) in the GL master (FS00)

1. Field Status
• Field status enable control and display of GL a/c’ master data fields
• Field status ranking:

Status Field Status Rank

Hide Not used 1

Display Field display only 2
Required Field required value 3
Optional 4

1. Reconciliation account
• This is a vendor / customer GL a/c in COA. Its corresponding account
exist in vendor / customer sub ledger

• Reconciliation a/c type: D: Customers, K: Vendors, Assets
• Cannot post directly to reconciliation a/c
• Details of customer / vendor reconciliation a/c: SE38 – RFDKVZ00

1. Line Item Display

• Show each transaction as a line in a GL a/c display
• Line Item display not possible in following cases:
• Reconciliation a/c (Line item display in sub ledger)
• Revenue a/c (Sales)
 • Material Stock a/c
• Tax a/c (Tax amount per line item checked when document displayed)

1. Open Item Management:

• These a/c have line item display activated
• Open Item display mandatory for a/c with offsetting entries
• OI management used for following a/c types:
○ Bank clearing a/c
○ GRIR a/c
○ Salary clearing a/c

1. Account Currency
• Can select company code currency / Local currency as Account
currency
• Can also select foreign currency as account currency
• Where LC = A/C currency, can post in any currency
• Where FC = A/C currency can post in only the FC to this GL a/c.

1. Only balance in Local currency:

• If selected transaction figures to this a/c posted in local currency only
• To be selected for clearing a/c like GRIR to avoid difference due to
exchange rates fluctuation
• You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the
system to update transaction figures separately by currency.

posting
• Special customer / vendor master record cam be used for more than
one Customer / vendor

1. Dual Control Principle

• Can define certain customer / vendor fields in SPRO as sensitive. For
e.g. vendor bank address
 • Now if these fields are changed customer /vendor is blocked for
payment
• Block removed when a second person with authorization confirms /
reject such change

cleared automatically
• Entries in tolerance group always cleared in Local currency / company code
currency

1. Manual Processing of Payment Differences

• High payment differences can be manually processed as follows:
○ Partial Payment: Post as partial payment. Document remains open
○ Residual Item: Post payment differences as residual item. Original
document and payments are cleared. A new document is created for
the residual item
○ Write off: The difference is w/off to an a/c. Manual a/c assignment for
w/off
1.1 Reason Codes:
