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.
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.
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) −

items. It has options available to see transactions based on type: i.e., special G/L, Noted items,
Parked items and vendor items.

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.
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.

areas. Overview tree displays objects related to the asset.

the contents of the columns.

text icon indicates a real depreciation area, and the “This graphic” is explained in the
accompanying text icon indicates a derived depreciation area.
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.
