Till date SAP adopted 3 methodologies,
upgrading from each framework to structure,
plan and control the process of developing
ERP systems.
ASAP RDS ACTIVATE

• Used until 2014 • 2010- Rapid • Launched in 2014

 Compiling with SAP BEST
PRACTICES would indicate that a
methodology is adopted and
followed in a project
configuration and
implementation.
 It is a component of the SAP
ACTIVATE METHODOLOGY.
 It is available on the SAP BEST
PRACTICES EXPLORER and
provides pre-configured content
for core business processes with
a role-specific, responsive, and
simple user experience and
contains standardized
configuration and user manuals,
documentation, process
flowcharts, forms.
 SAP Finance and Controlling (FICO) is a core module in SAP
ERP where FI stands for Financial Accounting and CO
stands for Controlling. SAP FICO module is very robust and
covers all financial processes followed in diverse
industries.
 SAP FICO system enables you to centrally track financial
accounting data within an international framework of
multiple companies, languages, currencies, and charts of
accounts.
 SAP FI/CO module is the back bone of SAP accounting as it
records financial transactions of movements of goods,
services and all other business transactions between the
company and its customers & vendors.
 SAP FICO can be easily integrated with other SAP modules
mainly MM, SD, PS, PP, HCM, Payroll, SuccessFactors, etc.
 SAP FICO module mainly deals
with essential elements such as
fixed assets, accrual, bank, cash
journal, inventory, tax
accounting, general ledger,
accounts receivable, accounts
payable, fast close functions,
financial statements, parallel
valuations, master data
governance,
 Integration with other modules
involve transactions that take
place in other modules in
the SAP system trigger postings
to the FI module. The idea
behind assigning other
modules to the FI module is to
allow the system to
automatically post financial
transactions from other
modules to FI.
