 Configuration Scenario:
Universal Group of companies (Parent company) is a multinational company
with companies across the world with base in India. The company has
decided to implement SAP S/4 HANA for its subsidiaries in USA and in India.
Universal Group of companies has common chart of accounts. The Parent
company wants the accounts to be prepared based on April to March year
end i.e. April to March with IFRS reporting. The Group reporting should be in
INR. There could also be a future reporting requirement in local companies to
have the functional currency in some countries. There will be intercompany
transactions between the 2 company codes, so the need to set up
Intercompany settings between 2 company codes.

Universal Ltd. USA has a local reporting requirement under the US GAAP.

Based on the above requirements we need to configure the following within

S/4 HANA.

Create company code 6600 – Universal Ltd for USA.

Company code currency 6600 - USD
Create company code 6650 - Universal Ltd for India.
Company code currency 6650 - INR
Parallel currencies to be implemented Group reporting and Global company
currency reporting (in case of functional currency requirements).

Common chart of accounts – INT

Ledger 0L (Group view) reporting period – April to March for group reporting

Ledger Y1 (additional ledger) for local reporting

Ledger Y2 (additional ledger) – Extension ledger for management

reporting

 1 Creating company code and its various assignments

1.1 Creating company code

Company code is the basic organizational unit in FI (Financial accounting) for

which a balance sheet and profit & loss account can be drawn. We create
company code 6600 (Universal Ltd.) which is located in country USA.

For doing the configuration we use the following path on the SAP application
screen:-

SAP Menu  Tools  Customizing  IMG  SPRO - Execute Project 

Configuration for all the modules will be done here. The above path will
not be referred henceforth; we will directly refer to the IMG node.

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Enterprise Structure  Definition

 Financial Accounting  Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 Double click on Edit Company Code

By selecting the second option Edit Company Code data we have to manually
configure all the subsequent assignments.

By selecting the first option all the configuration and tables get copied
automatically along with assignments. This option should be selected in case
of rollouts where the new company codes are created by referencing an
existing company code.

In the Copy option we need to click on to copy a company

code from an existing company code. We can copy from existing company
code delivered by SAP.

We can select a four-character alpha-numeric key as the company code key.

This key identifies the company code and must be entered when posting
business transactions or creating company code-specific master data, for
example.

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 We will cover the FI configuration from scratch and not copying
configuration from an existing company code.

Click on and update the following fields:

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 The company code can be kept numeric or alpha numeric.

Country: The country where company code is located and the balance sheet
and income statement which will be prepared according to that country law.
Here the company is located in USA so, we have selected the country id US
(USA).

Currency: It is the local reporting currency of the country. In this case it is

USD since the company is located in USA.

1.2 Maintain Fiscal Year Variant

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting  Financial

Accounting Global Settings  Ledgers  Fiscal Year and Posting Periods
Maintain Fiscal Year Variant

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 You can define the following characteristics for a fiscal year variant in SAP.

How many posting periods a fiscal year has, how many special periods
you need, how the system is to determine the posting periods when
posting.

When defining your fiscal year, you have the following options:

• Your fiscal year is the calendar year

In this case, you must only select the Calendar year field.

• Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is not year
dependent
In this case, you first enter the number of your posting periods in the
Number posting per. field. To define your posting periods, select your
fiscal year variant and select Periods on the navigation screen. On this
screen, enter the month and the day of the period end and the period in
each case.

• Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is year-
dependent.

Enter the number of your posting periods in the field Number posting
periods and select the field Year-dependent. To define your posting
periods, select your fiscal year variant and select Periods on the
navigation screen. The system asks for which calendar year your year-
dependent fiscal year variant is valid. You then enter the month and
day of the period end for each of your periods, and the periods
themselves.

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 You can use the standard fiscal year variant K4 in SAP where the
financial accounting year corresponds to January to December.

In case the financial accounting year is April to March, you can use the
standard fiscal year variant V3 in SAP

You can copy and create new variants, but bear in mind it should
start with Y or Z as the starting character.

In our example we will use the standard SAP fiscal year variant
V3 (April to March)

1.3 Assign Company Code to a Fiscal Year Variant

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting Financial

Accounting Global Settings  Ledgers  Fiscal Year and Posting Periods
Assign Company Code to a Fiscal Year Variant

The company code 6600 needs to be assigned to a Fiscal Year variant. This
controls which periods the company code will post data.

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 Assign company code 6600 to V3 fiscal year variant in SAP.

Scroll down to check the Save entry button.

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 Thus Company code 6600 is assigned to fiscal year variant V3 in SAP.

1.4 Define Posting period Variant

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting  Financial

Accounting Global Settings Ledgers  Fiscal Year and Posting Periods
Posting Periods  Define Variants for Open Posting Periods

In this activity, you can define variants for open posting periods.
In the standard setting, a separate variant for posting periods is defined for
every company code. The name of this variant is identical to the company
code name. Every company code is allocated to this variant with the same
name.
Thus in our example we will have posting period variant which is identical to
the company code i.e. 6600

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 Click on and update the following fields.

Clickto save entry.

Thus posting period variant 6600 is created.

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting  Financial

Accounting Global Settings  Ledgers  Fiscal Year and Posting Periods
Posting Periods  Assign Variants to Company Code

The posting period variant 6600 now needs to be assigned to company code
6600.

Assign posting period variant 6600 to company code 6600

Update the following:-

Thus posting period variant 6600 is assigned to company code 6600 in SAP.

1.6 Open and Close Posting Periods

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting  Financial

Accounting Global Settings  Ledgers  Fiscal Year and Posting Periods
Posting Periods  Open and Close Posting Periods

In this activity you specify for each variant which posting periods are open for
posting in SAP.

New in S/4 HANA

Three intervals are now available for doing this (period 1, period 2 and period
3). For every interval, enter a lower period limit, an upper period limit and the
fiscal year.
You can specify separately G/L account number ranges (as well as sub ledger
accounts). To do this, you specify the subledger account type, such as D or K,
and the corresponding reconciliation account.
In this way you can, for instance, close postings for customer accounts, but
allow postings for vendors and GL accounts.

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 You can use period intervals 1 and 2 for all normal posting processes in
regular and special periods. For period interval 1, you can enter a group of
authorized users. This means that, for month-end or year-end closing, for
example, you can open posting periods for specific users only. Period 1
interval should be used for special periods because authorization can only be
managed here.

Period interval 3 is used for postings from Controlling (CO) to Financial

Accounting (FI).

• If you do not make an entry for period interval 3, the check on these
postings is made from the real-time integration against period intervals
1 and 2.

• If you make an entry for period interval 3, the check on these postings
is only made against period interval 3.

You can copy the settings from existing company codes delivered by SAP as
follows:-

Notice the posting period variant pop up is also new in S/4 HANA, which
means this table will not be locked when multiple users are using it.

variant 6600 in SAP

Various account types in SAP are:-

A – Assets
D – Debtors
K - Creditors
M – Material
S - GL

1.7 Define Field Status Variants

IMG  Financial Accounting  Financial Accounting Global Settings

Ledgers Fields Define Field Status Variants

You can define and edit field status variants and groups. You group several
field status groups together in one field status variant. You assign the field
status variants to a company code in the activity Assign Company Code to
Field Status Variants . This allows you to work with the same field status
groups in any number of company codes.
You can also define and process field status groups. You must define a field
status group in the company code-specific area of each G/L account. The field
status group determines which fields are ready for input, which are required
entry fields, and which are hidden during document entry. Bear in mind that
additional account assignments (i.e. cost centers or orders) are only possible
if data can be entered in the corresponding fields.

Field status variant 0001 is entered for company code 0001 in the standard
SAP software. Field status groups are already defined for this variant.

The field status group you enter in the reconciliation accounts affects postings
to the related customer or vendor accounts. You cannot enter a field status
group in the customer or vendor accounts. Field status groups are determined

S4 HANA Finance Trainer-Pradeep

 for customer and vendor accounts from their respective reconciliation
accounts, via the G/L account number in their master records.
There are other factors, besides the field status group itself, which have an
influence on the field status. Among these are:
The field status defined for the posting key.
The status "optional entry field" was assigned to posting keys 40 and 50 in the
standard system. These are the standard posting keys for G/L account
postings. The "optional entry field" status has no effect on the field status.

Copy the Standard Field status variant 0001 to create new field status variant
6600. The field status variant 6600 can be attached to all the group company
codes of Universal Group. Since all the company codes within the group
should have same posting flow the field status group 6600 can be assigned to
all the group company codes.

Alternatively you could also create new field status variants for each new
company codes being rolled out.
