Company: Smallest organizational unit for which individual

financial statements can be drawn up according to the
relevant commercial law. A company can consist of one or
more company codes. All company codes within a company must
use the same transaction chart of accounts and the same
fiscal year breakdown. The company code currencies, on the
other hand, can be different. A company code has one local
currency in which its transaction figures are recorded.
Company Code: The smallest organizational unit for which a
complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for
the purposes of external reporting. The process of external
reporting involves recording all relevant transactions and
generating all supporting documents required for financial
statements (balance sheets, profit and loss statements and
so on.)
Business Area: Organizational unit of financial accounting
that represents a separate area of operations or
responsibilities within an organization and to which value
changes recorded in Financial Accounting can be allocated.
Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over
and above company codes) based on the significant areas of
operation (for example, product lines) of a business
enterprise. A segment is an isolated area of activity.
All essential balance sheet items, such as fixed assets,
receivables, payables, and inventories, and all items of the
profit and loss statement can be assigned directly to a
business area. The balance sheet items for banks, capital,
and taxes, however, cannot be directly assigned to business
areas. They need to be assigned manually. This means that
business area financial statements cannot be drawn up for
commercial and tax law. Business area balance sheets and
income statements are used only for internal reporting
purposes.
The system determines the appropriate business area from
information such as the material, plant, or cost center we
enter in a business transaction like a goods movement.
Assignments we make (between cost centers and business areas
for example) or the combination of information we specify (a
plant and a particular division for example) are the basis
on which the system determines the appropriate business
area.

Variant Principle:
The variant principle is a three step method used in R/3 to
assign special properties to one or more R/3 objects. The
three steps are: 1. Define the variant, 2. Populate the
variant with values, 3. Assign the variant to R/3 objects.
The principle is used for Field status, Posting periods,
fiscal years etc.
Fiscal year variant:
To separate business transactions into different periods, a
fiscal year with posting periods has to be defined. The
fiscal year is defined as a variant which is assigned to the
company code. The fiscal year variant specifies the number
of posting periods and special periods in a fiscal year and
how the system is to determine the assigned posting periods.
Types of Fiscal Years:
1. Year Dependent:
Periods can vary from year to year. A fiscal year variant
has to be defined as year dependent if the start and the
end date of the posting periods of some fiscal years are
different from the dates of other fiscal years, or if some
fiscal years shall use a different number of posting
periods.
Shortened Fiscal Year: A shortened fiscal year arises
through a shift in the end of the fiscal year. The shortened
fiscal year covers the period between the end of the last
fiscal year in the old cycle and the beginning of the next
fiscal year in the new cycle.
Instances: Company changing the beginning of the fiscal year
or if the company was sold.
2. Year independent (Fiscal Year same as Calendar Year &
Fiscal Year not same as Calendar Year):
If each fiscal year of a fiscal year variant uses the same
number of periods, and the posting periods always start and
end at the same day of the year, the variant is called year
independent.
If the fiscal year is defined as the calendar year, the
posting periods are equal to the months of the year.
Therefore a calendar year variant must have 12 posting
periods.
If the fiscal year differs from the calendar year, we must
specify the number of posting periods we want to use & how
the fiscal year is to be determined from the posting date.

10 of 33

12/4/2014

To do this, we specify the displacement for each period

compared to the year of the posting date by using the annual
displacement indicators -1, +1. Using these indicators, the
system determines the fiscal year.
Chart of Accounts: The chart of accounts is a variant which
contains the structure and the basic information about
general ledger accounts.
Information to be given in Chart of Accounts: Maintenance
Language, Length of GL Account Number, Manual or automatic
creation of cost elements, Group chart of accounts etc.
Operative Chart of Accounts:
The operating chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts
that you use for posting in your company code during daily
activities. Financial Accounting and Controlling both use
this chart of accounts.
Country Specific Chart of Accounts:
These are structured in accordance with legal requirements
of the country in question
Group Chart of Accounts:
This is structured in accordance with requirements
pertaining to Consolidation.
The account group determines:
The data that is relevant for the master record
A number range from which numbers are selected for the
master records.
An account group must be assigned to each master record.
Retained Earnings Account: The difference in Profit and Loss
account is transferred to Reserves & Surplus
Posting Period Variant: A variant which contains posting
periods. A Posting Period is a period within a fiscal year
for which transaction figures are updated. Every transaction
that is posted is assigned to a particular posting period.
The transaction figures are then updated for this period.
During the time of the closing procedure, 2 period ranges
have to be open at the same time.
Open and Close Posting Periods: To define the periods those
are open for postings.

11 of 33

Document Type: Key that distinguishes the business

transactions to be posted. The document type determines
where the document is stored, as well as the account types
to be posted. The Document Type controls the header which is
valid for an entire document.
Number Range: Defines the allowable range in which a
document number must be positioned and cannot overlap.
(Internal Numbering & External Numbering)
Tolerances: Rules that define acceptable differences during
Posting of transactions. Allowed Payment differences will be
specified in Tolerance Group for GL Accounts.
Tolerance Group for Employees is used to control the Upper
Limits for Transactions & Allowed Payment Differences.
Field Status Variant: The Field Status Variant contains
various Field Status Groups. In a Field Status Group each
field is defined whether it is Required, Optional or
Suppressed.
Master Data:
The Data which remains unchanged for long periods of time
and which is often referred to by other data. This data is
called Master Data.
Chart of Accounts segment:
The COA contains basic information about the accounts.
Information per account is bundled into what is called the
COA segment.
Contents: Account Group, P&L account type or Bal Sheet
account type, Description of the account Short text as well
as long text and Consolidation in COA like Trading partner
and Group Account Number.
Company Code Segment:
Information in this segment is specific for this company
code. This information controls entry of accounting
documents and management of accounting data.
Contents: Control Data, Bank/Interest, Information Tabs,
under these we specify currency, tax, reconciliation
account, sort key, field status group, house bank, interest
calculation information etc.,
Reconciliation accounts (Sub ledger open item function):

12 of 33

12/4/2014

Are General Ledger accounts assigned to the business partner

master records to record all transactions in the sub ledger.
Any postings to the sub ledger accounts automatically update
the balances of the assigned reconciliation accounts.
Methods for creating GL Accounts:
Manual: one step and two step
Copying: Copy an individual GL account with reference to
another GL account, Copy the entire company code segment,
copy the entire chart of accounts segment.
Data transfer: Upload a new chart of accounts from an
external system e.g. flat file.
Document:
The R/3 system uses the document principle: Postings are
always stored in document form. The document remains as a
complete unit in the system until it is archived.
A document is identified by the combination of
Document number
Company code
Fiscal year
The R/3 FI document consists of
A document header (information which applies to the
entire document & the important control key is
document type for the header)
2 to 999 line items (information which is specific to
that line item & the important control key is posting
key for the line item).
When a document is displayed, the first screen we see is an
overview screen containing the most important information
from the document header and the line items. We have a
display line for each line item.
We can decide what data is displayed in this line by
specifying the line layout. We can define several variants
for line layout. When displaying a document, we can switch
between the variants. We can define our own variant by
selecting from Current Display Variant.
GL Account Blocking:
Blocked for Creation
Blocked for Posting
Blocked for Planning
Blocked for Posting (in Company Code)

13 of 33

Hold Documents: (System will prompt for a temporary document

number to be given by the user)
We can enter incomplete documents by using the Hold
function. If we do this, the system does not update any
account balances.
Sample Documents: Sample Document is a special type of
reference document. Data from this document is used to
create default entries on the accounting document entry
screen. A sample document does not update transaction
figures but merely serves as a data source for an accounting
document.
Steps:
Creation of Number Range Group X2 and Numbers for
Sample Document Template
Creation of Sample Document Template
Posting of Entries by using Sample Document as
reference
Recurring Documents: A periodical recurring posting made by
the recurring entry program on the basis of recurring entry
original document. The procedure is comparable with a
standing order by which, banks are authorized to debit rent
payments, payment contributions or loan repayments.
Steps:
Creation of Number Range Group X1 and Numbers for
Recurring Document Template
Creation of Recurring Document Template
Posting of Documents by using Recurring Document
Template by way of Batch Input
Accrual/Deferral Documents: To ensure that expenses and
incomes are posted to the correct period, we enter
accrual/deferral documents.
Accruals: An accrual is any expenditure before the closing
key date which represents an expense for any period after
this date.
Deferral: Deferred income is any receipt before the closing
key date which represents revenue for any period after this
date.
Steps:

14 of 33

Creation of Reversal Reason which will allow reversing

on any day
Posting of Accrual/Deferral Document
Reversal of Accrual/Deferral Document

Open item management:

GL accounts should be administered with open item management
when we need to check whether there is an offsetting posting
for a given business transaction. Open and cleared items
can be displayed separately, and therefore it is easy to see
which business transactions still need to be cleared.
Examples: GR/IR Clearing A/c., Cash Discount Clearing A/c.,
Bank Clearing A/cs. etc.
Note: Reconciliation accounts are managed implicitly using
Sub Ledger Open Item Function.
Clearings:
Full Payment Clearing
Partial Payment Clearing
Residual Clearing

Accrual/Deferral Reversal

Currencies:
In Financial Accounting, we have to specify for each of the
company codes, in which currency ledgers should be managed.
This currency is the national currency of the company code,
that is, the local currency (or company code currency).
From a company code view, all other currencies are then
foreign currencies.
The ledgers can be managed in two parallel currencies in
addition to the local currency, for example, group currency
or hard currency. Group currency is used in the consolidated
financial statements. Hard Currency or Country-specific

15 of 33

12/4/2014

second currency is used in countries with high rates of

inflation.
Global company Currency: Currency used for an internal
trading partner. Global company currency is defined when
defining the company that is assigned to the company code.
Exchange Rate Type: - Key used to define exchange rates in
the system.
For each currency pair we can define different exchange
rates.
The different exchange rates are used for the purposes of
Valuation, Conversion, Translation, Planning etc.
Standard Translation at Bank Buying rate G Type
Standard Translation at Bank selling rate B Type
Average rate M Type
Historical exchange rate - 1003
Translation Ratio: The (consistent) relationship between the
monetary units of two foreign currencies.
Foreign Exchange Revaluation
G Type Bank Buying
Open Item
Non Open Item
B Type Bank Selling
Open Item
Non Open Item
We can create different valuation methods for valuing
foreign currency. For each valuation method, we have to
define:
Parameters for the valuation procedure
Parameters for exchange rate determination
Valuation Method: A unique key determining foreign currency
valuation method.
Interest Calculations
S Type Balance Interest Calculation (for GL Accounts)
o Is applied to the entire balance of a GL or
Customer Account, applying a particular interest
rate for a specified period of time
P Type Item Interest Calculation (for Customers &
Vendors)
o Interest on arrears is applied to individual items
in accounts receivable or accounts payable. A

16 of 33

12/4/2014

certain interest rate is applied to the items that

are still open or unpaid at a specified date.
Interest calculation configuration:
Interest calculation Indicator
o Interest calculation types set basic parameters
used in calculation. To calculate interest for an
account (GL, Customer, Vendor), the master data
for that account must include the interest
calculation indicator that applies. Each interest
ID must be assigned an interest calculation type,
indicating whether it is used for balance interest
calculation or item interest calculation.
General terms
o General terms specify further parameters about how
each interest calculation indicator works.
o Here we specify interest calculation ID, interest
calculation frequency, settlement day, calendar
type (G type for rupee loans & F type for FC
loans).
Define reference interest rates
o Define reference interest rate ID, effect from
date and currency
Time dependent terms
o Time-based terms set validity dates and
relationships to interest rates. Here we specify
interest calculation ID, currency, valid from,
sequence number(1&2 - credit interest balance
interest calculation for 1 & debit interest
balance interest calculation for 2), term and
reference interest rate ID.
Interest rates
o Interest rates establish reference interest rates
that interest calculations can be tied to. Here
we specify Reference interest rate ID, valid from
and interest rate.
Account determination
o Account determination establishes which accounts
the results of an interest calculation will be
posted to.
Accounts Payable
Reconciliation accounts:
Reconciliation accounts are managed implicitly using Sub
Ledger Open Item function.

One-time Vendor:
Vendors who have a business transaction only once are called
one-time vendors. We create collective master record for
one-time vendors. The complete details of the Vendor will be
given at the time of Invoice Posting. (While creating the
group a One-time Vendor Group should be selected.)
Tolerances: Rules that define acceptable differences during
posting
Tolerance Groups for Vendors:
The tolerances are used for differences in payment and
residual items which can occur during payment settlement. We
can specify the tolerances under one or more tolerance
groups. Allocate a Tolerance Group to each Vendor via the
master record. For each Tolerance Group we specify:

18 of 33

12/4/2014

1. Tolerances upto which differences in payment are posted

automatically to expense or revenue account when
clearing open items.
2. The handling of the terms of payment for residual
items, if they are to be posted during clearing.
Employee Tolerances also can be specified. Employee
Tolerance is used to control the Upper limits for posting
procedures (Posting Authorizations) and Permitted Payment
Differences. While clearing, the lower limit of the 2 will
be taken.
Vendor Master:
The account group is entered on the initial create screen.
In FI, once the vendor account is created, its account group
cannot be changed.
Give Reconciliation Account Number, Sort Key 012 Vendor
Name, Payment Terms, Tolerance Group & Select Check Double
Invoicing.
Line item display and open item management are always preset
to on for every vendor account.
A complete Vendor Account consists of 3 segments 1.
General Data at the client level 2. Company code segment and
3. Purchasing Organization segment
General data consists Address, Control data, Payment
transactions etc. The account number is assigned to the
Vendor at the client level. This ensures that the account
number for a Vendor is the same for all company codes and
sales areas.
Company data consists of Accounting information, Payment
transactions, Correspondence, Insurance, Withholding tax
etc.
Note: If MM creates their segment of the master record and
then FI creates their segments of the master record, there
is the risk of creating incomplete or duplicate master
records. To find and correct these incomplete accounts, we
can run report RFKKAG00 and make the necessary corrections.
Creation of duplicate accounts can be prevented by:
Using the matchcode before creating a new account
Switching on automatic duplication check

Financial Statement Version (FSV)
Summary, Schedules and Accounts
We define a financial statement version in 2 steps:
1. Enter in the directory of financial statement versions
2. Define hierarchy levels and assign accounts
Each version must have the following special items:
1. Assets
2. Liabilities
3. Profit
4. Loss
5. Profit and Loss results
6. Accounts not assigned
The ABAP/4 program RFBILA00 calculates the balance sheet
profit/loss from the assets and liabilities totals and
enters the result in the Balance sheet results profit/loss
item. The profit and loss statement results are determined
from all accounts not assigned to either assets or
liabilities, and are entered in the proper item.

28 of 33

12/4/2014

A financial statement version consists of a maximum of

10 hierarchy levels
o Assign items to each level. The system calculates
a total/subtotal for each item which is then
displayed when the program is run.
o Assign texts to each item.
o Assign the accounts whose balance and account name
are to be listed to the lowest levels.

Cross Company Code

Transactions
A cross company code transaction involves 2 or more company
codes in one business transaction. For a cross company code
transaction, the system will post a separate document in
each of the company codes involved.
Examples for cross company code transactions are:
One company code makes purchases for other company
codes (Central Procurement)
One company code pays for other company codes (Central
Payment)
One company code sells goods to other company code
Steps:
Create Clearing Accounts in each of the company codes.
The Clearing Accounts may be GL Accounts, Customer or
Vendor Accounts.
Configure the Automatic Postings for Cross Company Code
Transactions by assigning Clearing Accounts for both
the company codes.
