In addition to invoicing processes delivered by SAP, you can define your own invoicing processes.
For each process, you can adjust the behavior of the SAP invoicing program to your own
requirements such that only the required invoicing functions are run and under the consideration
of your individual settings for these functions. This flexibility is in addition to non-modification
enhancement which includes BAdIs, and events.

Invoicing processes are used as selection parameters for mass activities for "Invoicing in Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable".

Number ranges for invoicing documents are defined dependent on the invoicing processes.

Invoicing processes are a differentiation characteristic for the activation of optional invoicing
functions.

The individual process steps of "Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable" are
explained below.

Process Steps: Invoice Processes


Invoice processes involve the following steps −

 Data Selection − In data selection, the invoicing orders are selected for the invoicing
process. You define the selection criteria for the data selection for the invoicing process.

 Creation of Invoicing Units − The invoicing orders selected are grouped into invoicing
units for each contract account. You can create several invoicing units for each contract
account. For each invoicing unit, "Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable"
creates one invoicing document. You define the criteria for creating the invoicing units for
the invoicing process.
 Processing of Billing Documents − The billing documents selected for an invoicing unit
are included in the invoicing document. The billing document items are linked with the
items of the invoicing document, and the derivations required for the posting in "Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable" (FI-CA) are performed.

 Performance of Additional Functions − In addition to processing billing documents, in


"Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable" , you can integrate further
functions of FI-CA. For example, interest calculation, creation of dunning proposals, or the
calculation of charges and discounts. You define which additional functions are performed
for each invoicing process.

 Account Maintenance − Using the account maintenance integrated in "Invoicing in


Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable", you can perform clearing between the posting
documents entered in Invoicing and the open items of the contract account posted before
invoicing. You define the criteria for clearing in the clearing control.

 Update − The invoicing document created for the invoicing unit and the posting
documents are written to the database. The invoicing orders processed are deleted. As
well as the invoicing unit, a correspondence container for invoice printing and an extraction
order for the update to BW are created.

There are many types of reports that can be used for account analysis (A/R) −

 Customer Line Item Analysis

 Balance Analysis

 Customer Evaluation Report

Customer Line item Analysis


T-code: FBL5N

Customer line item report will be generated based on the open items, cleared items, and all
items. It has options available to see transactions based on type: i.e., special G/L, Noted items,
Parked items and vendor items.
Customer Balance
T-code: FD10N

This report will be generated as customer-wise / period-wise balances, including debit and credit
amount separately. It will also display the balances related to special G/L under different form
and gives the total.

Balances of open Sales Invoice, Debit note and Credit note is available under separate columns
in the same report. Users have the facility to incorporate required fields by changing the report
layout.

Customer Evaluations
T-code: F.30

This report helps in analyzing customer open transactions company-wise, group-wise, Credit
control, etc. Users can define open transactions criteria based on due date, payment history,
currency analysis, overdue items etc.

SAP T-codes to be used for Account Analysis in SAP FI −

 Customer line item display : FBL5N

 Customer Balance Display : FD10N

The FI-Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component is used for managing the fixed assets in FI system.
In Financial Accounting, it serves as a subsidiary ledger to the General Ledger, providing detailed
information on transactions involving fixed assets.

Integration with other components − As a result of the integration in the SAP system, Asset
Accounting (FI-AA) transfers data directly to and from other SAP components.

Example
It is possible to post from the Materials Management (MM) component directly to FI-AA. When
an asset is purchased or produced in-house, you can directly post the invoice receipt or goods
receipt, or the withdrawal from the warehouse, to assets in the "Asset Accounting" component.

At the same time, you can pass on depreciation and interest directly to the "Financial Accounting"
(FI) and "Controlling" (CO) components. From the "Plant Maintenance" (PM) component, you can
settle maintenance activities that require capitalization to assets.

Components of Asset Accounting


The "Asset Accounting" component consists of the following parts −

 Traditional asset accounting

 Processing leased assets

 Preparation for consolidation

 Information System

Traditional asset accounting encompasses the entire lifetime of the asset from purchase order or
the initial acquisition through its retirement. The system calculates, to a large extent
automatically, the values for depreciation, interest, insurance and other purposes between these
two points in time, and places this information at your disposal in varied from using the
Information System. There is a report for depreciation forecasting and simulation of the
development of asset values.

The system also offers special functions for leased assets, and assets under construction. The
system enables you to manage values in parallel currencies using different types of valuation.
These features simplify the process of preparing for the consolidation of multinational group
concerns.

The "Plant Maintenance" (PM) component offers functions for the technical management of assets
in the form of functional locations and as equipment. The "Treasury" (TR) component offers
special functions for managing financial assets.

Create New Asset Classes


Use the T-code OAOA or go to SPRO → SAP Reference IMG → Financial Accounting → Asset
Accounting → Organizational Structure → Asset Classes → Define Asset Classes → Execute.

Click New Entries as shown in the following screenshot.


In the next screen, enter the following details −

 Asset class and Short Text

 Asset Type details

 Number Range from number assignment

 Select include asset under inventory

You can also select Asset under construction (AuC).

Click the Save icon to configure the asset class.


This function shows all the values of a fixed asset, including APC values and depreciation, in
various forms and summarization levels. Planned values are displayed as well as the values
already posted. You use this function to display and analyze asset values.

Components of Asset Explorer


Asset Explorer consists of the following components −

 Header − This is the field where you enter the company code and asset number.

 Overview tree − Using overview tree, you can navigate between different depreciation
areas. Overview tree displays objects related to the asset.

 Tab − This is where you analyze plan values and posted values using different parameters,
and compare fiscal years and depreciation areas.

Note − The Asset Explorer uses ALV Grid Control for its table display. You can use it to specify
the contents of the columns.

Header
With the company code and main asset number, you can also enter the asset sub-number. If
you enter an asterisk (*) in the sub number field, the Asset Explorer shows all transactions and
depreciation of all sub numbers of the asset main number. Use “This graphic” is explained in the
accompanying text and “This graphic” is explained in the accompanying text icons to navigate to
different fiscal years.

Overview Tree for Depreciation Areas


Choose the pushbutton above the overview tree, or “this graphic” is explained in the
accompanying text Display master data function, to reach the display transaction for asset
master data.

To navigate between depreciation areas in the overview tree, select the depreciation area you
want. Icons indicate the type of depreciation area. This graphic is explained in the accompanying
text icon indicates a real depreciation area, and the “This graphic” is explained in the
accompanying text icon indicates a derived depreciation area.

Overview Tree for Related Objects


The system automatically searches for objects related to the asset, such as cost center,
equipment, G/L account, WBS element, and displays them in an overview tree. From this
overview tree, you can jump directly to the display transaction of the given master data.

There are additional options if the asset was created or posted from a purchase order. In that
case, you can double click on the Purchase Orders folder to go to a report that displays all
Materials Management documents that are linked to the asset.

When you enter an asterisk (*) for the sub-number in the Asset Explorer, the search for related
objects is deactivated. On the Planned Values, Posted Values, and Comparisons tab pages, the
system shows the total of all sub-numbers for all fields. On the Parameters tab page, the
individual parameters are displayed only if they are the same for the main number and all sub-
numbers. If they are not all the same (for example, the main asset and sub-numbers have
different useful lives), then the field is shown with an asterisk (*).

The Transactions subscreen shows all transactions for all the sub-numbers. The display of
planned/posted depreciation per period shows the total of all sub-numbers for each period. When
you jump to other Asset Accounting reports, these are started without being limited to a sub-
number. The report then displays all sub-numbers.

Limitations of using an asterisk (*) for the sub-number


Display of the depreciation trace (RATRACE0N) − The trace always relates to a specific
asset and it is not possible to add assets together. The report is started for the asset that has
the lowest sub-number.

Display of asset master record (AS03) − It is started for the first existing asset.

The Cash Management field in SAP FI is used to manage cash flows and to ensure that you have
sufficient liquidity to cover your payment obligations.

Integration with other SAP components


SAP FI Cash Management is a sub-component of Financial Supply Chain Management. It can be
integrated with a range of other SAP components.
Example − The liquidity forecast – in a medium- to long-term liquidity trend – integrates
expected incoming and outgoing payments in financial accounting, purchase, and sales.

Features of Cash Management


SAP FI Cash Management Incomings area covers the following topics −

 Electronic and manual bank statements

 Electronic and manual check deposits

 Bill of exchange presentation

 Memo record

Market data can be transferred using the file interface, real-time data feed, or via a spreadsheet.
SAP Controlling (CO) is another important SAP module offered to an organization. It supports
coordination, monitoring, and optimization of all the processes in an organization. SAP CO
involves recording both the consumption of production factors and the services provided by an
organization.

SAP CO includes managing and configuring master data that covers cost and profit centers,
internal orders, and other cost elements and functional areas.

The main purpose of SAP controlling module is planning. It enables you to determine variances
by comparing actual data with plan data and thus enables you to control business flows in your
organization.

SAP CO Integration with Financial Accounting


Both SAP CO and SAP FI modules are independent components in a SAP system. The data flow
between these components takes place on a regular basis.

Data flows relevant to cost flows to Controlling from Financial Accounting. At the same time, the
system assigns the costs and revenues to different CO account assignment objects, such as cost
centers, business processes, projects or orders.

The key submodules of SAP controlling system are listed below −

 Cost Element Accounting − Cost and Revenue Element Accounting provides you with
an overview of the costs and revenues that occur in an organization. Most of the values
are moved automatically from Financial Accounting to Controlling. Cost and Revenue
Element Accounting only calculates costs which either do not have another expense or
only one expense in Financial Accounting.

 Cost Center Accounting − Cost Center Accounting is used for controlling purposes within
your organization.

 Activity-Based-Accounting − It is used to analyze cross-departmental business


processes.
 Internal Orders − Internal orders in SAP CO are used to collect and control according to
the job that incurred them. You can assign budgets for these jobs that is system monitored
to ensure that they are not exceeded from the set budgets.

 Product Cost Controlling − It calculates the cost for manufacture a product, or to


provide a service. It allows you to calculate the price at which you can profitably marketed
it.

 Profitability Analysis − It is used to analyze the profit or loss of an organization by


individual market segments. Profitability Analysis provides a basis for decisionmaking. For
example, it is used to determine price, conditioning, customer, distribution channel, and
market segment.

 Profit Center Accounting − It is used to evaluate profit or loss of individual, independent


areas within an organization. These areas are responsible for their costs and revenues.

A Cost Center is defined as a component in an organization that adds to the cost and indirectly
adds to the profit of the organization. Examples include Marketing and Customer Service.

A company can classify a business unit in three ways −

 Profit center,

 Cost center, or

 Investment center.

The simple and straightforward division in an organization can be classified as cost center
because cost is easy to measure.
