SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management

Abstract

You’ll find that SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management is one of the most illustrative SAP FI books on the market. It includes numerous screenshots and practical examples. Even those without prior configuration knowledge or skills of any sort will be able to follow each step with ease, which is what makes this book unique. To promote a better understanding of the complexities and concepts of the activities throughout the book, I followed a problem-based approach that tries to replicate real-world situations. As you work through each problem, you will gain the practical experience needed to become an expert in the world of Sap. Every problem used in the book is geared to meet business processes and requirements unique to each customizing step, but the overall objective is to equip you as a functional SAP consultant on the completion of this book. The book covers the financial (FI) module, the controlling (CO) module, the new general ledger (G/L) accounting modules, and some aspects of end-user postings. This book is unlike others in that it incorporates IMG (Implementation Guide) and accounting. The IMG side of the system is where SAP configurations are performed and the accounting side of the system is where end-users input data into the system. It is also unique in giving readers a great opportunity to learn the rudiments of FI, CO, new G/L implementation, and accounting for end-users simultaneously. The benefit of combining the SAP implementation and Easy Access is that you have an opportunity to explore both sides of the system to gain an in-depth understanding of how data flows in the system. Additionally, trainers will find the book excellent material for those charged with showing others how to configure and use SAP FICO.
