FI extraction: FI Module deals with accounting and financial needs of an organization.

Financial Accounting is broken down into the following sub-modules:

Accounts Receivables Accounts a!able Asset Accounting "ank Accounting #onsolidation Funds Management $eneral %edger &'ecial ur'ose %edger (ravel Management )ote: *nl! discussing ke! areas +A ,AR,$%,&%- briefl! because of the com'lexit! of the area

.e can extract the financial data at totals level , line item level. In general/ we will use R,0 line item tables as the data source for extracting the data to allow drill down ca'abilit! from summarized data to line-item details. Financial Accounting data can be extracted directl! from the tables. 1e'ending on the business re2uirement we can use either FI-&% or standard ". content extractors +FI-AR/ FI-A / and FI-$%- to fetch FI data.

)ote: FI-&% will be discussed under 3one stage sto' to know all about ". 4xtractors - art5 3which ex'lains about A''lication s'ecific customer generated extractors

FI-AR/ FI-A / and FI-$%: $eneral %edger: All accounting 'ostings will be recorded in $eneral %edger. (hese 'ostings are real time to 'rovide u'-to-date visibilit! of the

financial accounts. Account Receivable: Accounts Receivables record all account 'ostings generated as a result of #ustomer sales activit!.
