Explain the difference between INVOICE and BILLING in SAP.
Both are same in SD point of view.
- In SD terminology we call as Billing Document and
- In FI terminology we call as INVOICE.
- In MM again only INVOICE will be there for Vendors.
Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment.
If we receive the goods from vendors that is called bill if we give the goods to
customer that is called invoice.
Bill means we have to pay the amount against bill invoice means we have to receive
the amount against invoice.
Invoice is for both : Vendor Invoice and Customer Invoice.
Billing Tcodes:
- VF01 create billing document. The delivery order comes up auto.
- VF02 the billing doc comes up auto . View the accounting enteries
Invoice Tcodes:
- FB60 Create invoice with respect to rawmaterial and tax.
- FB70 Invoice entries with respect to sales and tax

SAP FI FAQ
1. There is "company" field in the Company Code global settings. The R/3 help
says that it is being used for consolidation. We can use Group Chart of account to
do the same.
What is the significance of this field?
What is different between company & company code?
2. When we copy the COA, only one Fin Stat Version is being copied. A COA can
have many Fin Stat Version. Why copying of COA allows only one Fin St Ver?
3. What are the information that are not copied to new company code when we
copy company code?
4. Whether one group chart of account can be assigned to 2 Operational charts.
For Eg. INTA and INTB is being used by group of company as OCA. Whether GCA
GRP can be assigned to INTA and INTB?
1A). Company is an organizational unit which is generally used in the legal
consolidation to roll up financial statements of several company codes. A company
can include one or more company codes. If we are going for Consolidation , we need
to enter the 6 character alphanumeric company identifier that relates to this
company code.
Company Codes within a Company must use the same chart of accounts and fiscal
year. And for consolidation purpose we use Group COA wherein we link the
Operating COA thru entering the GL account no. of the Group COA in the GL Account
of the Operating COA.

Page 153

2A). A financial statement version corresponds to the chart of accounts and

wherein Individual (operational) accounts are assigned to the corresponding FS item
on the lowest level of this version. But as for the rollup of Accounts is not possible in
all the FSV which can be copied, n rather can update manually n create multiple
FSVs if necessary depending on the Financial Statements which are necessary for
the Organisation.
3A). All the Organizational units (Global Data) for a company code will b copied to
new company code upon using the copy function except for the transactional data.
4A). Yes, Group COA can be assigned i.e., the GL A/c.No. is linked to the GL Accounts
of the both Operating COA . That means Group COA consists of Unique set of
Accounts which can be linked to Op.COA 1 and Op.COA 2.
SAP FI/CO Tips by: Sneha Reddy
Ans: Q.No.1. In the SAP system, consolidation functions in financial accounting are
based on companies. A company can comprise one or more company codes. for
example: Company A have 4 company codes which is existing in different state and
/ or country. When Company A wants to consolidated the accounts, it will give the
common list of accounts which in turn called group chart of accounts. Group chart of
account is used to define/ list the GL account uniformly for all company codes.
Ans: Q.No.2. In SAP R/3 system, will allow only one financial statement version for
single COA which you need to assign the same while copying the COA. T.code OBY7
Ans: Q.No.3. When you want to create FYV, PPV, COA etc for new company code
which is as same as existing company code, then you can copy all the information
from the source company code to the target company else whatever is required as
per the new company code requirement you can only copy the same, rest you can
create as per the requirement. for example Fiscal year for new company code may
be shortented fiscal year which is differ from the existing company code. In this
case, fiscal year for new company code you have to create and assign it to company
code.
Ans: Q.No.4. Operational chart of accounts is something differ from the Group chart
of accounts but Group chart of account can be assigned to Operating chart of
account 1 and 2 through GL account no.
Operating chart of accounts: The operating chart of accounts contains the GL
accounts that you use for posting in your company code during daily activities.
Financial accounting and controlling both use this chart of accounts. You have to
assign an operating chart of account to a company code.
Group chart of accounts: The group chart of accounts contains the GL accounts that
are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the company to provide reports
for the entire corporate group.

How do I know which target cost version we are using?

To find out which version is used for your Target Cost, try this menu path
IMG > Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Product
Cost by Order -> Period-end Closing -> Variance Calculation -> Define Target Cost
Versions (tcode OKV6).
How do you change the "Input tax code - Assets without input tax" value for a
company in Asset Accounting? Technically, how do you change field MWSKZVA field
in table T093C? TIA.
You can used transaction 'OBCL'.
Via customizing: Asset accounting -> Integration with general ledger -> Assign
input tax indicator for non-taxable acquisitions
Require GR & IV report
Is there any report on GR pending for IV?
You could try executing program RFWERE00, without postings.
This is the same program which is used for period end closing- regrouping of
GR/IR...but for only a report do not create postings.
or
May be transaction MB5S can help you out.
Retained Profit Account
After you run the GL balance carry forward, you only manage to know the balance
carry forward for the retained profit account but you don't how much is actually post
to the particular account. You have try almost all of the standard report but still
can't find any report that can show you the figure.
The balance carried forward is only a 'calculated' figure and not a 'posted' figure.
The break-up of the retained earnings figure is available when you run the balance
carried forward report.
You can also derive the balance by selecting only the P&L Accounts for the relevant
period. The net balance of these accounts should equal the retained earnings
account.
ACH payment configuration
Page 155

Based on 4.0B. Is it possible to configure the system for ACH payments or do we

need to upgrade?
You can use RFFOUS_T to produce an ACH file. You may have to use user exits to
write header and trailer records. Please read documentation on this program and it
is self-explanatory.
Locking of Planning Data in Profit Center Accounting
How to lock planning data in profit center accounting.
In 4.6 b the transaction is S_ALR_87004395 - Maintain Versions you can lock
versions for each fiscal year
Changes in vendor master
Is there a report which shows changes in vendor master data.
Not only for one like MK04 or XK04 but for a range like all changes in vendors per
ccode.
(should be similar to customer master transdaction OV51)
You can used report "RFKABL00".
In the accounts payable reporting menu this program can be found via:
Accounts payable -> Adequacy and documentation -> Master data -> Display of
vendor changes
(depending on your SAP version of course)
Bank Statement Upload
How to used the program RFEBKATX?
ITEM.TXT.
How are these files imported into SAP?

This creates two files STATE.TXT and

Try using program RFEBKA00 to upload the two files.

- one is the header file containing the House bank & account information along with
the date and the statement number
- the other is the item details.

iii. material types
6. Maximum no. of dunning levels are created?
7. In how many ways APP is configured
8. What is diff between AAM, Recurring entries, Sample doccument?
Find here with the answers for your questions
1.Whether any FI document will be created during PO(Purchase order)?If pl mention
the entry also?
Ans: There is no document that is created in FI side during PO. But in controlling
there can be a commitment posting to a Cost Center. The offsetting entry is posted
at the time of GR.
2.What factors differentiates from one dunning level and other dunning level
Ans: The most important thing that differentiates the dunning levels are the
dunning texts. The dunning text defines the urgency of the dunning notice. The
other things can be the dunning charges, minimum & maximum amounts etc.
3.APP
There will be many banks in a house bank. If the payment should be maid from
particular bank GL account. Where it is configured.
Ans: There can be several accounts in the same house bank. We should assign the
GL accounts exclusively at the time of creating the Bank master data and the bank
accounts. Accordingly we can do the bank determination in FBZP for the individual
banks and the corresponding sub accounts.
Tr code for Defining bank : FI12.
4.What are various types of servers in SAP R/3?
Ans: The Typical SAP landscape looks something like figure 1.4 below:
5.can anybody explain me FI-MM integartion.pl explain in detail
i. Movement types:
Classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods
receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
Page 157

The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules
determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and
consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material
master record are to be updated.
ii. Valuation class
Assignment of a material to a group of G/L accounts
Along with other factors, the valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are
updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event, such as a goods
movement.
The valuation class makes it possible to:
- Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L
accounts
- Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L
account
iii. Transaction/Event Key
Key allowing the user to differentiate between the various transactions and events
(such as physical inventory transactions and goods movements) that occur within
the field of inventory management.
The transaction/event type controls the filing/storage of documents and the
assignment of document numbers.
iv. Material Type
Groups together materials with the same basic attributes, for example, raw
materials, semifinished products, or finished products.
When creating a material master record, you must assign the material to a material
type. The material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a
configurable
material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is drawn
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which user department data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured inhouse or
procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory
management requirement, that is:
Page 158

- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record

- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial
accounting
6.Maximum no. of dunning levels are created?
Ans: 9 levels maximum.
7.In how many ways APP is configured?
Tr Code: FBZP
8.What is diff between AAM,Recurring entries,Sample doccument?
Account Assignment Model:
A reference for document entry that provides default values for posting business
transactions. An account assignment model can contain any number of G/L account
items and can be changed or supplemented at any time. In contrast to sample
documents, the G/L account items for account assignment models may be
incomplete.
Recurring Entries:
A periodically recurring posting made by the recurring entry program on the basis of
recurring entry original documents.
The procedure is comparable with a standing order by which banks are authorized
to debit rent payments, payment contributions or loan repayments.
Sample Documents:
Special type of reference document. Data from this document is used to create
default entries on the accounting document entry screen.
Unlike an accounting document, a sample document does not update transaction
figures but merely serves as a data source for an accounting document.
SAF FI Frequently Asked Questions 2
1. Where to assign activity type in cost centers? OR how to link cost centers &
activity types?
>> There is no direct assignment. You plan the output for a cost center first in
kp26. Then you've to plan the value of that cost center which you budget for a
period in kp06.
Planned Activity expenditure / Planned Actvty qty gives yoa
planned act rate which you can use to valuate your activity confirmations in mfg
ordrs.
You can also define your own prices,but you have to run the price
revaluation if you want to revaluate your actual activity prices.
Page 159

2. For stat. key figure what is the significance of sender & receiver cost elements &
cost centers?
>> Stat key fig are not real account assignments. In simple traditionl terms it is the
base to allocate or define praportions with which the cost is allocated. SKFs are
used to calculate the debit on a receiver object. These values can be used for
assessing common costs which are used by all the other cost centers.
3. How SKF works .. Kindly give me T Codes Also.
>> You create & plan SKF.
Create using KK01 & PLAN the parameters of SKF in KP46
SAP Tips by: Dhiraj
1. Does any one know what is Software life cycle, it was a question asked in an
interview.
2. In GL master we have a option "Balance in local currency" and "Account
currency". What does it mean?
3. In movement type(MM), what is value & quantity string I know it updates values
and quantities in GL with mix of valuvation class, transaction key modifier and GL
A/c. But how does it work when doing a mvt type?
4. In FI when doing Special GL transaction what determines the fields statues of the
screen and why do we have so many screens followed by it. Is it determined by
Posting Keys? is it to determine Account type for which we are using the Special GL
and debit and credit?
Q: Software Life Cycle,
Ans: it is nothing but Road Map - five phases like, Project Preparation, Blue print,
Realisation, Final preparation and Go-live support.
Q: In GL master we have a option "Balance in local currency" and "Account
currency".What does it mean?
Ans: Account currency is that the GL account in which currency do you want to
maintain. if you decided that you want maintain in company code currency, you can
post any currency in that account.
If not, you want to maintain separate currency for that GL then exchange rate
difference will come because the conversion rate.
Balance in local currency - some GL account can't be maintain on open item basis
and can't in foreign currency like clearing account and discount account etc., in
such case you can assign this indicator to show the balance in local currency.

Page 160

Q. In movement type(MM), what is value & quantity string I know it updates values
and quantities in GL with mix of valuvation class, transaction key modifier and GL
A/c. But how does it work when doing a mvt type?
Ans: Basically, the system does not know which GL has to be updated with what.
here, we are giving a direction to the system to update the data.
What you said is correct, the system will update the value and qty in the material
master. You would have seen some more fields also, like Movement indicator,
consumption, value string and transaction event key etc.,
While creating a PO, the system will take the Movement type as a base, with MT, it
will identify the MI(movement indicator - used to define whether it is goods
movement for production order, purchase order, delivery note etc), and it will
identify the consumption,( like it is assets, or consumption or sales order) and it will
identify the value string ( it is must to assigned to movement type, through
allocation of value string to movement type, system will automatically identify the
GL ) and it will post the entry (dr/cr)in the GL based on the transaction and event
key figure which is used to determine the debit and credit entry of a GL

4. In Field Status Group there are options like Suppress, optional, Required, Display.
So that it is followed by so many screens and it is determined by posting key. Its
both debit (or) (Both) credit.
Questionnaire with Answers for SAP FI
What is the difference between company and company code?
A company is the organizational unit used in the legal consolidation module to roll
up financial statements of several company codes.
The Company Code is the smallest organizational ! unit for which a complete selfcontained set of accounts can be drawn up for purposes of external reporting.
How many chart of accounts can be attached to a company code?
One or more Operative Chart of Accounts can be assigned to a company code.
A COA must be aasigned to a company code. This COA is the operative COA and is
used in both FI and CO. One Chart of Account can be assigned to many Company
codes i.e., Multiple company codes can either share the same or have separate
COA. But a company code (Country specific Company code or International
Company code) can have a country specific COA also along with Operative COA. The
link between the regular COA and the country COA appears in the alternate number
field of the G/L master record.
Eg: If a company's subdidiaries are located in both US & Mexico. We need to
configure 2 Company codes - one for US and another for Mexico,for eg U100 and
M100. The same way we create 2 COA's one for US & one for Mexico, USCA and
MXCA. Mexico has different govt reporting requirements than the US so we will
need to define a company code specific to Country Mexico and also create a country
Page 161

specific COA to be used, in addition to normal COA. In tcode OBY6(Comp Code

Global Parameters) of CC M100 we define normal COA i.e.,USCA in Chart of
Accounts field and MXCA in Country Chart/Accts field.
What are substitutions and validations? What is the precedent?
Validations are used to check settings and return a message if the prerequisite
check condition is met.
Substitutions are similar to validations; they actually replace and fill in field values
behind the scenes without the users knowledge unlike validations that create onscreen msgs to the user.
What is a controlling area?
The Controlling Area is the central organizational unit within CO module. It is
representative of a contained Cost Accounting envt where costs and revenues can
be managed.
Define relationship between controlling area and company code?
A controlling area may include one or more company codes which must use the
same operative chart of accounts as the controlling area. A Controlling Area can
contain multiple company code assignments but a single company code can be
assigned to only one controlling area.
What is a fiscal year variant?
Fiscal Year is a period of 12 months and SAP provides 4 special periods to posting
adjustment Entries. Fiscal year determines posting periods. Posting periods are used
to assign business transactions. Fiscal year may be year dependent or year
independent.
What are special periods used for?
The Special periods in a fiscal year variant can be used for things like posting audit
or tax adjustments to a closed fiscal year.
What do you mean by year dependent in fiscal year variants?
Year Dependent: the financial year is same as calendar year. Starting from 1st Jan to
31st Dec (where posting periods and the calendar months are equal)
Year Independent: the financial year is different from calendar year Starting from
1st April to 31st March (where the posting period months are not equal to calendar
year months)
What are shortened fiscal year? When are they used?
Shortened Fiscal Year: a financial year, which has less than 12 periods.
What are posting periods?
The Posting period variant controls which posting periods, both normal and special,
are open for each company code. It is possible to have a different posting period
variant for each company code in the organization. The posting period is
independent of the fiscal year variant.
What are document types and what are they used for?
Page 162

Document type is the identifier of differentt account transactions like SA for G/L,AA
for Asset Accounting etc.The doc. Types controls things like type of the account that
can be posted to, the number range assigned to it, and required doc header fields.
How are tolerance group for employees used?
Tolerance group stores Posting amount defaults. Tolerance groups are assigned to
User IDs that ensures only authorized persons can make postings.
What are posting keys? State the purpose of defining posting keys?
Posting keys determine whether a line item entry is a debit or a credit as well as the
possible field status for the transaction. Posting keys are SAP delivered. If u want
changes like making additional fields optional on payment type posting keys then
the best possible action is to copy the posting key that needs to be modified and
then modify it.
What are field status groups?
Field status groups control the additional account assignments and other fields that
can be posted at the line item level for a G/L account.
Questions and Answers for SAP Financial
Q1-What are adjustment postings and its use? Give t.codes and paths if possible?
Answer: fb50,f-02 and others could be used for adjustments. These adjustments are
to correct any financial representation that has already been booked into the
accounts.
Q2-Suppose I have purchased goods of 10 units(raw materials
goods) worth Rs10000 from vendor A (suppose) and also made
same. Now during the manufacturing process, it was observed
defective, now my question is how do we deal with the defective
have already made payment for the 10 units(i.e Rs10000).

or semi-finished
payment for the
that 3 units are
units in SAP as I

Answer: If you have a GRN against these materials, then the same can be return
delivered. An appropriate movement type needs to be configured for the same. As
for the payment, raise a credit note on the vendor.
* Using Debit Memo you can get the money for defective 3 units. *-- Gnan Eswari
Q.3-We always copy company code or we can create manually also? If possible give
reasons also.
Answer: There are loads of tables that get copied over when copying co codes. This
might be incomplete in a manual copy, and hence the manual route is not
advisable.
Q.4-In case of APP, when bank master data updated?

Page 163

Q.5-Suppose in 2004 I have depreciation key 'AB&in 2005 depreciation key I have
changed to"CD". In what way my balances would be affected like balances of
depreciation,accumulated depreciation,assets etc.
Answer: The difference in the depreciation that is posted already, and what should
be posted with historical effect will be posted in the current accounting period.
Q.6 How many chart of accounts can be assigned to company code we can assign
company code to chart of account through OB62? Now my question is in what way
we can assign three types of chart of account to company code in one transaction
code (I might be wrong plz correct me)
Answer: Three, although the group and country chart of accounts are optional. The
group chart of accounts is assigned to the
operational chart of accounts, and the only mandatory CoA is the Operational CoA.
Q.7 How many financial statement versions can be assigned to co.code?
Answer: As many FSVs as you want can be assigned to the co code i.e. 1:n as of Co
Code: FSV.
I have created Company Code and all other configuration related to the CCode. Also
in MM I have created purchase order, created vendor, material etc. I couldn't
activate the PO due to the following error messages in red:
1. MAINTAIN TOLERANCE LIMITS FOR TOLERANCE KEY PE ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT
2. CONTROL INDICATORS FOR CONTROLLING AREA DO NOT EXIST.
I have assigned controlling area to company code and I could see the controlling
area in existance via master file and gl verification.
1. MAINTAIN TOLERANCE LIMITS FOR TOLERANCE KEY PE ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT
----> Please follow this link --> SPRO ---> MM---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order -->
Set Tolerance limits for price variance --> Here you have to set for Tolerance keys PE
and SE. Just copy them from std co. code.
2. CONTROL INDICATORS FOR CONTROLLING AREA DO NOT EXIST. ---->
In Controlling --> General Controlling --> Maintain Controlling Area --> Maintain
Controlling Area --> Activate Components/Control Indicators --> You need to check if
you want to activate the order management/activity based costing/commitment
management etc.
FI Questions about GR/IR
1. How do we post the FI transactions after doing MIGO?
Does the Migo generate FI postings or do we manually do the posting.
If we do it manually what is the T.Code to do it.
Page 164

2. How do we reverse an Invoice?

We go to miro and enter a credit memo.
How do we post the reversal entry?
In SAP, the moment you save the MIGO transaction, it automatically generates FI
document. It will create following entry:Raw Material Stock A/c Dr
To GR/IR Clearing A/c
In MIGO transaction itself, you can post Excise by choosing Capture and Post Excise
Invoice. The FI document will be as follows:
RG23A Basic Excise Duty A/c Dr
RG23A Education Cess A/c Dr
To CENVAT Clearing A/c
After doing MIGO, you execute MIRO. In this transaction also, SAP will generate FI
document automatically. The entry will be as follows:GR/IR Clearing A/c Dr
CENVAT Clearing A/c Dr
VAT Setoff A/c Dr
To AP-Vendor A/c
Reversion of entry of material purchase can be in entered on rejection of material
partially or wholly. In this case, you will
have to raise a debit note on the vendor. But before raising debit note, you have to
first ensure that the Invoice verification of the material (to be rejected) is complete
at the time of purchase.
Purchase documents cannot be reversed directly like pure financial document entry.
To reverse the material document,
following procedure should be followed.
1) Create Return Delivery (MIGO)
2) Reverse the Excise Duty Posted (J1IS)
3) Raise the debit Note. (MIRO)
* -- Rajesh Birari
Cancel Invoice In MR8M
While cancelling invoice in mr8m, I'm getting a message that FI documents to be
cancelled manually. What does this means?
If the cancellation / reversal of MIRO invoice is done through MR8M, only the MM
invoice / documents gets reversed but the FI document will not be reversed or
cancelled.
We have to follow the following procedure.
1.
2.
3.
4.

Goto T.Code MIRO

Select Credit Memo in the transaction field.
Fill up all the details in the fields for the invoice to be reversed.
Give the P.O. no
Page 165

5. Select the line item to be reversed.

6. Simulate and save.
The impact will be as CR - GR/IR clearing a/c
DR - Vendor a/c
By this procedure, the purchase order history in P.O. will also get updated and there
is no requirement of any manual clearing. Only in the Vendor a/c, the DR. and CR
should be knock off.
SAP FI Functional Consultant Responsibilities
What is the meaning of SAP FICO Functional and SAP FICO Technical?
SAP FICO Functional means functional knowledge, by which one can proceed in
terms of functional process with FICO area as well as FICO configuration knowledge.
Whereas SAP FICO Technical consultant may be an ABAPER, who have short of
knowledge of FICO configuration and functional knowledge as well and can proceed
for technical jobs e.g. reports development, client requirement, system modification
etc.
To become a Pure Hard Core FI functional consultant
Q: Can via T.Code FBL1N by selecting vendor with plant reference in selection using
search help field group.
Plant is not a field for finance or in sap it is FI module - this is for PP and MM module,
In case required, please define that as FI object for FI reports - like BA and so on.
Configure the plant as a BA and in all FI places you can capture BA in line items of
vendors.
Spent little time on going through various standard reports of SAP which are very
rich in itself - for each report it has options of all fields of master data , all fields of FI
document means around in my opinion around 400+ options to select. Hence we
should first get an idea of fields in masters and documents and how they are
updated.
To become a good consultant.... Every report of SAP standard is a gem - but we
always look for FAST FOOD without understanding the quality of how standard is the
solutions..
Spent time in understanding - there are lot of chapters available for reading .
Suggestions ... Understand the Finance function first upto closing of books and
management reportings done in a practical way. Go to sap img screen - you will find
all options are there... If you go reverse way , sitting inside the car and asking anyone can help me in understanding what is the wheel in front of driver used and
how to use it??
All the best - take it in the right spirit for a successful future
