FI SD Integration. FI MM Integration.
FI SD Integration (and FI-MM integration) in SAP is an important aspect of the Finance configuration
process in the implementation project. A business that deals with sales and materials must go
through this process of integration of SAP Finance with Sales & Distribution and Material
Management.

Since these are vital for implementation, interviewers ask about these topics in SAP FICO or
S/4HANA Finance interviews.

Q2. – At what level are the FI-MM, and FI-SD account
termination settings?
They are at the chart of accounts level.
The FI-SD account determination happens through an access sequence in FI-SD integration. The
system goes about finding accounts from more specific criteria to fewer specific criteria.
Step 2 – Further, if it does not find accounts for the first 2 criteria then it will look for the Material
account assignment group/Account Key.
Step 3 – If it does not find accounts for all earlier criteria then finally it will look for the Account key
and assign the GL code.
This posting of Sales Invoices into FI are affected based on a combination of the Sales organization,
Account Type or customer and Material Account assignment groups.
For each of these options, you can define a GL account. Thus, the system uses this GL account to
automatically pass the entries.

Valuation also involves Price Control. We assign each material to a material type in Material
Management. We evaluate every material either in Moving Average Price or Standard Price in SAP.
These are the two types of price control available.
We can group different materials with similar properties by valuation class. Example Raw material,
Finished Goods, Semi Finished Goods.
Q7. – Can we change the valuation class in the
material master once we assign it?
Once we assign a material to a valuation class in the material master record, we can change it only
if the stocks for that material are nil. If the stock exists for that material, then we cannot change the
valuation class. In such a case if the stock exists we have to transfer the stocks or issue the stocks
and make the stock nil for the specific valuation class. Then only we will be able to change the
valuation class.
The moving average price in the case of goods issue remains unchanged. We always evaluate
Goods issues at the current moving average price. Consequently, a goods issue reduced the total

quantity and the total value about the price and the moving price remains unchanged.
In the customization, in the automatic postings, we assign the Inventory G/L account to the
Transaction event key BSX and the GR/IR account to the Transaction event key WRX.

A. We do Initial stock uploading in SAP from the legacy system with inventory movement type 561.
Material Valuation at a standard price – For a material evaluation at the standard price, we
evaluate the initial entry of inventory data based on the standard price. If you enter an alternative
value at the time of 561, then the system posts the difference to a different account.
Material valuation at moving average price – Here we evaluate the initial entry of inventory data
as follows.
If you enter a value while entering initial data, the system evaluates the quantity entered at this
price. However, if you do not enter a value when entering initial data, then the system evaluates the
quantity entered at the MAP present in the material master.
Accounting Entries –
Q12. – Can you assign multiple G/L accounts in the
Purchase order for the same line item?
Yes, we can assign multiple G/L accounts in the purchase order for the same line item. We can
allocate the costs on a per cent (%) or quantity basis.
If the partial goods receipt and partial invoice receipt have taken place, then we can distribute the
partial invoice amount proportionally i.e evenly among the account-assigned items of a purchase
order. Or we can distribute the partial invoice amount on a progressive fill-up basis.
The system allocates the invoice amount to the individual account assignment items one after the
other.
Subsequent Debit– If a transaction has already been invoiced and additional costs are invoiced
later, then the subsequent debit is necessary. In this case, you can debit the material with additional
costs i.e GR/IR account debit and vendor account credit.
When entering the subsequent debit, if there is no sufficient stock coverage, you can post only the
portion of the available stock to the stock account and the rest you post to the price difference
account.
You can’t create the accounting document when the invoice is in Parked mode. We can, later on,
rectify the Parked invoice.
Invoice saving – This is also called Invoice processing or Invoice Posting. You can create the
accounting document when you post the invoice in SAP.
End Note
I made these questions by choosing some practical scenarios on FI-MM and FI SD Integration. It is
a very important part of an SAP consultant’s profile. I hope these questions help you to perform
efficiently in your SAP Finance interviews.
