    Who Will Enter Master Data?

    Master data entry will now be centralized. There are only a few employees with

    access to enter master data.

    New master data records will go through a creation process that includes a request

    form and approvals.

    This new process will:

    Streamline data entry

    Avoid duplicates

    Ensure better data quality

    Improve business control and compliance

    Organizational Units in FI

    The Client

    The client is the highest hierarchical level in the SAP System. Specifications that you make or data

    that you enter at this level are valid for all company codes and for all other organizational

    structures.

    Each client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and a complete set of tables.

    The Company

    A company is the smallest organizational unit for which legal individual financial statements such as

    balance sheets and profit and loss statements can be created according to the respective

    commercial legislation.

    A company can include one or more company codes.

    The financial statements of a company are also the basis of a consolidated financial statement.

    Organizational Units in FI (Cont.)

    The Company Code

    A company code is the smallest organizational unit for which complete, independent accounting

    can be carried out.

    A legally independent company is generally represented by one company code in the SAP System.

    In accounting, you enter, save and process business transactions, and manage accounts

    fundamentally at company code level. A further subdivision is possible via internal organizational

    Units (Ex: Business Areas)

    The Chart of Accounts

    The chart of accounts is the second highest hierarchical level in the SAP System.

    It is assigned to the company code.

    It is a list of all natural accounts available to all company codes.

    Terminology (Cont.)

    Posting Key

    A two-digit numerical key that determines the way line items are posted. This key determines several factors including the account type,type of posting (debit or credit) and layout of entry screens.

    Account Group

    Used to categorize accounts that have similar master data requirements. It determines the required master data needed for creating G/L

    accounts. It also determines the number range in which the customer account should be placed, and whether that number is to be

    assigned by the user or by the system.

    Ledger

    In G/L Accounting, you can use several ledgers in parallel. This allows you to produce financial statements according to different

    accounting principles, for example.

    Fiscal Year Variant

    A period as defined by the financial calendar. The fiscal year variant contains the number of posting periods in the fiscal year and the

    number of special periods. You can define a maximum of 16 posting periods for each fiscal year in the Controlling component (CO).

    Posting Period Variant

    You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code

    and you have to assign them to your company codes. The posting periods are then opened and closed simultaneously for all company

    codes via the posting period variants.

    Reconciliation Account

    Summary account for subledgers such as Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Asset Accounting. No direct postings to

    reconciliation accounts are allowed.

    Terminology (Cont.)

    Cost Element

    A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element

    corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.

    Primary Cost Element

    A cost element whose costs originate outside of CO and accrual costs that are used only for controlling purposes.

    Open Item Management

    A stipulation that the items in an account must be used to clear other line items in the same account. Items must balance out to zero

    before they can be cleared. The account balance is therefore always equal to the sum of the open items.

    Changing Processes

    Current Process Future Process with SAP

    Manual Entries are posted directly (in some locations) A park and post two-step process for manual entries will

    be utilized. Also, there will be defined dollar amounts and

    accounts that can be posted to.

    Individual country is able to create its new accounts Chart of Accounts: Local accountants will not be able to

    create new accounts. A request will have to be made to the

    master data administrator at a central location.

    Some countries dont currently require an account

    number and cost center on a purchase order.

    It is a requirement for an account number and cost center

    to be entered in a purchase order.

    General Ledger Account Master Records

    A General Ledger Account master record contains information about the account that

    controls how business transactions are posted to it and how it is managed.

    Once Components of the Chart of Accounts and Company Code segments have been

    defined, a G/L Account master record is created.

    A master record can be created in one step for both the Chart of Accounts and the

    Company Code. This is known as creating the master record centrally.

    Parallel Accounting

    In SAP, each GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principle) is

    represented by a ledger.

    Except for the Brazil, all the countries (company codes) will have two

    ledgers for accounting transactions. (Brazil will have three ledgers).

    Leading ledger i.e. local GAAP, general local (financial) year

    Non leading ledger i.e. US GAAP and fiscal(financial) year

    All the transactions will be made to leading ledger and will automatically

    be flowed to non-leading ledgers.

    However, for any adjustment for local requirements all countries will post

    to only non-leading ledgers through specific transactions.

    All the ledgers are also capable of providing reports in Group currency or

    any other additional currency.

    Profit Center Accounting

    In SAP, a Profit Center is a bucket where revenues can be posted and

    costs can be assigned, planned and reported on.

    Each revenue-producing location will be represented by a profit center.

    For AOI purposes, a profit center is an origin of tobacco and a profit

    center group is a group of profit centers/origins, such as a region.

    All revenue postings require a profit center.

    All cost centers are associated to a profit center to allow for reporting

    such as a profit and loss statement for a specific location.

    Profit centers are not company code-specific.

    Profit centers are assigned to the AOI Inc. Controlling Area (CAOI), which

    is the main Controlling organizational unit and the only Controlling area

    AOI will have.

    Profit Center Accounting

    Profit Center Accounting enables internal profit to be

    calculated for profit centers. It generates a balanced andcomplete Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement for

    each Profit Center.

    It also compares the overall period costs of the company orprofit center with the revenues and internal activities for the

    same period.

    It allows real-time evaluations, reporting and analysis on

    posted plan and actual data.

    Profit Center Accounting (contd)

    AOI manages its business on an operational basis as well as a financial basis. Profit

    center accounting is how management can monitor its business operationally.

    Profit centers can be assigned to alternative hierarchical structures which are completely

    independent of the standard hierarchy. These structures are called profit center groups.

    Profit center groups represent a flexible view of the standard hierarchy and are used for

    reporting, planning and allocations.

    The standard hierarchy is a special type of profit center group. It is a tree structure which

    contains all profit centers in a controlling area and reflects the organizational structureused in Profit Center Accounting. The Standard Hierarchy AOI accounts for all profit

    centers and is an entity to which all profit centers must be attached upon creation.

    The master data of a profit center includes the name of the PC, the controlling area it is

    assigned to, and the profit centers period of validity, as well as information about the

    person responsible for the profit center, the profit centers assignment to a node of the

    standard hierarchy, and data required for communication (address, telephone number and

    so on).

    Profit Center Standard Hierarchy (KCH6N) is covered in FICO master data course.

    Cost Center Accounting

    Cost Center Accounting is utilized to collect and report operating activity

    within an organizational unit.

    A cost center is essentially a department within the company

    Cost centers represent a distinct and separate accounting unit and

    may be organized by area of responsibility, location, or activity-

    related aspects

    Each cost center is assigned to the Controlling Area CAOI

    Cost centers can be structured into multiple alternate hierarchies,

    according to organizational/functional aspects

    The cost center is the lowest level of the hierarchyexpenses are

    rolled up to superior levels

    Cost Center Accounting covered in detail in the AOI Cost Center

    Cost and Revenue Element Accounting

    Cost and Revenue Element Accounting provides you withan overview of the costs and revenues that occur in anorganization.

    Cost elements describe the origin of costs.

    Cost Elements are at the center of all the transactionalactivity in Controlling.

    Each posting in Controlling is linked to a Cost Elementand at least one controlling object , such as a cost centeror an internal order or a WBS (work breakdown structure)element.

    Cost element are also links to the General Ledger in FImodule as no primary cost element can exist without itsGeneral Ledger account first being created in FI.

    Document Entry and Change Document

    When you enter documents (such as a journal entry) the system checks whether

    the minimum account assignments have been made, for example, document

    date, posting date, document type, posting key, account number, and amount. If

    you enter a key that is not defined in the system, the system issues an error

    message. You have to correct your entry before you can enter any more

    documents. These checks prevent incorrect, inconsistent, or incomplete entries

    from being made.

    To be able to post the document, the debits and credits must balance to zero.

    This updates the account balances. If the debits do not equal the credits, you

    can hold the document, or park it until it is complete, without updating G/L

    account balances.

    You can change documents that have already been posted. However, thesystem protects certain fields of a posted document from changes. This includes

    fields such as:Amount Posted,Account, Posting Key, Fiscal Year, and Tax

    Amount. Data in these fields cannot be changed since it has already led to an

    update of account balances.

    strategy, regardless of the dollar amount

    Parking a document stores the entry for processing at a later time, allowingreview and revision of postings before they affect the general ledger

    Anyone who does a manual journal entry will park the document and thedocument will be sent to his or her supervisor/manager for review and approvalbefore posting

    Parked documents do not affect G/L account balances until they are posted

    Parked documents can be stored, displayed, changed or deleted

    Many fields in a parked document can be changed before the document isposted to the general ledger, including amounts

    Documents can only be posted by someone with posting authorization

    Reversing a Document

    There are times when a manual journal entry that has been previouslyposted needs to be reversed. This can occur for a variety of reasons

    such as to correct data entry errors, accruals, etc.

    The main reason for doing a reversal is that some data field (such asG/L account, cost center, vendor, customer) was entered incorrectly. Ifyou have entered an incorrect document, you can reverse it, therebyalso clearing the open items. However, AP invoices can't be reversedonce they've been paid.

    Instead of User A creating another manual journal entry to reverse theposted entry (which must then be parked, until approved and posted byUser B), the previously posted entry can just be reversed. Only a userthat is authorized to post a journal entry can reverse a journal entry.
