SAP FI-MM Flow:
oFI-MM Means the financial impact arising out of relevant to the inventory movements
are automatically update in the financial accounting
oMaterial requisition:the production department will send the material requisition
to the stores department then
oPurchase Requisition :The stores department will send the purchase requisition
to the Purchase department then
oComparative Statement : the purchase department will do the call for enquiries
and they will get the quotations and they will do the price comparisons
oRaise PO by Purchase Department : Purchase order consisting of Vendor no.,
Material No., Quantity, Rate, Delivery Terms, Payment Terms etc..
oFI-MM Integration Rule is :
oIn the Material Master we will specify the Valuation Class
oFor Valuation class we will assign GL Accounts based on the nature of
transaction.
oAt the time of material receiptor issuethe stores department person will enter
the material number, Qty, and Movement Type and then accounts will be
updated automatically, based on accounts assignment to valuation class, which
is specified in material master.

SAP FI Accounts Receivable
oTheAccounts Receivableapplication component records and manages
accounting data of all customers. It is also an integral part of sales
management.
oAll postings in Accounts Receivable are also recorded directly in the
General Ledger. Different G/L accounts are updated depending on the
transaction involved (for example, receivables, down payments, and bills
of exchange).
oThe system can use to monitor for open items, such as account analyses,
alarm reports, due date lists, and a flexible dunning program.

Account Determination
Using the FI-AA component, you can automatically update all
relevant transactions to the general ledger. These include all
accounting transactions that are posted to assets, and all changes
to asset values that are automatically calculated by the system
(particularly depreciation). This update takes place immediately
online for one depreciation area, or as part of periodic processing
for all other depreciation areas.
Page 27
Asset Classes
oThe asset class contains default values and control elements which are passed on to
the individual assets when you open a new asset master record.
oBy entering useful default values, you reduce time and effort needed for creating
new asset master records. You also ensure that the records in a given class are
handled uniformly.
oThe asset class is the most important criteria for structuring fixed assets from an
accounting point of view. Every asset has to be assigned to exactly one asset class.
The asset class is used to assign the assets (and their business transactions) to the
correct general ledger accounts. The most important tasks of the asset classes are:
oThe asset class is used to:
osub-classifythe General ledger accounts and
ogroup master records by specific criteria.
oAsset Classes configured:

Operating Concern
oOperating Concernrepresents an organizational unit in your company for which the
Sales and Market has a uniform structure. It is the valuation level for Profitability
Analysis (CO-PA).
oIt is an Organizational unit in the CO

Controlling Area
oAn organizational unit within a company, used to represent a closed system for cost
accounting purposes.
oA controlling area may include single or multiple company codes that may use
different currencies. These company codes must use the same operative chart of
accounts.
oAll internal allocations refer exclusively to objects in the same controlling area.
oControlling is a function which supports the business analysis and management

Cost Element Accounting
A component of Controlling (CO) that collects and summarizes
postings that arise within CO in a reconciliation ledger.
The Cost Element is divided in to Two types:
Primary Cost elements
Secondary Cost elements

Primary cost Element Category : These Primary cost elements are main
integration point between FI and CO. A cost element whose costs originate outside of
CO and accrual costs that are used only for controlling purposes
It represent a G/L Account in FI
01 is Primary Cost Element Category
11 is Revenue cost Element Category
12 is Sales Deduction cost Element Category
22 is External Settlement cost Element Category
Secondary cost Element Category : A cost element that is used to allocate
costs for internal activities.
Secondary cost elements do not correspond to any G/L account in Financial
Accounting. They are used only in Controlling and consequently cannot be defined in
FI as an account.
21 is Internal cost Element Category
31 is WIP cost Element Category
41 is IOH cost Element Category
42 Assessment cost Element Category
43 is DOH cost Element Category

Cost Center Accounting
oWe use Cost Center Accounting for controlling purposes within your organization.
oThe costs incurred by your organization should be transparent.
oThis enables you to check the profitability of individual functional areas and provide
decision-making data for management.
oCost Center Hierarchy
Page 38
Cost Center Hierarchy
Cost Centers are Structured into Organizational and/or Functional Hierarchical Groups .This is
known as the Cost Center Hierarchy.
The Hierarchy created for Operational Management is called the Cost Center Standard Hierarchy
Multiple Alternate Hierarchies can be created for Functional Management. These are simply
called Cost Center Groups

planning. The same we call as a CE

oIt is divided in to Two types
o Activity Independent Planning
o Activity Dependent Planning

will do the planning with reference to

o The prerequisite need to be maintain

Internal Order (IO)
Purpose:
oInternal ordersare normally used to plan, collect, and settle the costs of internal
jobs and tasks. The SAP system enables you to monitor your internal orders
throughout their entire life-cycle; from initial creation, through the planning and
posting of all the actual costs, to the final settlement and archiving.
Use:
oYou can use master data to assign certain characteristics to your internal orders,
which enables you to control which business transactions can be used with the
internal order.
oInternal order planning enables you to roughly estimate the costs of a job before
the order starts and to make an exact calculation at a later date. You can choose
between various planning approaches to compare the effectiveness of different
methods. You can assign and manage budgets for internal orders.
oYou apply the actual costs incurred by a job to your internal orders using actual
postings. In Financial Accounting, you can assign primary cost postings directly
to internal orders.
oIn period-end closing you can use various different allocation methods (for
example, overhead costing) to allocate costs between different areas of Cost
Accounting.
oOrder settlement enables you to transfer the costs incurred by an order to the
appropriate receivers.
Page 43
Internal Order Types:
Two Types of Internal Order :
oStatistical Internal Order: It is only for reporting purpose , we
can'tuse for settlement.
oWhile posting any entry if we mention both Cost Center and Internal
Order system will check IO is real or statistical if IO is real system will
give priority to IO , If IO is statically Cost center is priority...
oReal Internal Order: If you want to settle any cost to different
object i.e. Cost Center, Internal Order, G/L, Asset etc... we use Real
order.

Profit Center Accounting
Page 45
Purpose of Profit Center Accounting
Aprofit centeris a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal
controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to
analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units,
thus treating them as “companies within the company”.
The main aim of Profit Center Accounting is to determine profit for internal areas of
responsibility. It lets you determine profits and losses using either period accounting
or the cost-of-sales approach.
Every profit center is assigned to the organizational unitControlling area. The profit
centers in a company code belong to a standard profit center hierarchy that is also
assigned to the controlling area.
