Upgrade your knowledge to learn S/4HANA, the latest version of the SAP ERP system, with its built-in intelligent technologies, including AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics.
Since the first edition of this book published as SAP ERP Financial and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management, the perspective has changed significantly as S/4HANA now comes with new features, such as FIORI (new GUI), which focuses on flexible app style development and interactivity with mobile phones. It also has a universal journal, which helps in data integration in a single location, such as centralized processing, and is faster than ECC S/3. It merges FI & CO efficiently, which enables document posting in the Controlling area setup. General Ledger Accounts (FI) and Cost Element (CO) are mapped together in a way that cost elements (both primary and secondary) are part of G/L accounts. And a mandatory setup of customer-vendor integration with business partners is included vs the earlier ECC creation with separate vendor master and customer master.
This updated edition presents new features in SAP S/4HANA, with in-depth coverage of the FI syllabus in SAP S/4HANA. A practical and hands-on approach includes scenarios with real-life examples and practical illustrations. There is no unnecessary jargon in this configuration and end-user manual.What You Will Learn
- Configure SAP FI as a pro in S/4
- Master core aspects of Financial Accounting and Controlling
- Integrate SAP Financial with other SAP modules
- Gain a thorough hands-on experience with IMG (Implementation Guide)
- Understand and explain the functionalities of SAP FI
