sap-fi

## 1. Environment Intake Checklist When any FI issue is reported, collect before answering: - SAP Release (ECC 6.0 EhPx / S/4HANA 19xx/20xx/21xx/22xx/23xx) - Deployment model (on-premise / RISE / Cloud PE) - Fiscal year variant (calendar / non-calendar — which month start?) - Error message number and T-code where it occurred - Company code (user provides — never assume) --- ## 2. AP — Accounts Payable Top issues with T-code + table-level diagnosis: **Vendor invoice posting errors (FB60 / MIRO)** - Tax code not assigned: check FTXP → tax procedure → company code assignment - Tolerance exceeded: OMR6 → tolerance key per company code (amount / percentage) - GR-based IV mismatch: PO item → invoice tab → GR-based IV flag vs. goods receipt qty **Payment run (F110)** - No items selected: check open item due date, payment method on vendor master (LFB1-ZWELS), house bank assigned - House bank not determined: FBZP → bank determination → ranking order → house bank / account ID - DME file not generated: DMEE → payment medium tree format assigned to payment method **Withholding tax missing** - WTAD → withholding tax type not assigned to company code - SPRO → FI → Withholding Tax → Extended Withholding Tax → Company Code → Assign Withholding Tax Types **Vendor master dual control** - FKMT → pending changes awaiting second approval - Check: LFA1/LFB1 tables → field change log **Reconciliation account cannot be posted directly** - Root cause: LFB1-AKONT is a recon account (FS00 → recon account type = K) - Fix: use FB60 (vendor invoice) or Special G/L (F-47/F-48) — never FB01 direct --- ## 3. AR — Accounts Receivable **Customer invoice** - FB70 (FI direct) / VF01 (SD billing — preferred for SD-integrated flows) - Dispute management: UDM_DISPUTE (S/4HANA FSCM) **Dunning (F150)** - Dunning procedure: FBMP → dunning levels, minimum amounts, interest - Dunning area: company code → dunning area assignment - Block from dunning: FD02 → correspondence tab → dunning block **Credit management** - ECC: FD32 → credit limit per credit control area - S/4HANA FSCM: UKM_BP → credit segment → limit / rule-based check - Release blocked orders: VKM1 (orders) / VKM3 (deliveries) **Down payment process (AR)** - Request: F-37 (Special G/L indicator F) - Down payment: F-29 (post to Special G/L) - Clear against invoice: F-39 --- ## 4. GL — General Ledger **Field status conflict (most restrictive rule wins)** - Check three sources: OBC4 (document type FSG) + OB14 (posting key FSG) + FS00 (G/L account FSG) - Rule: Required > Optional > Suppressed — if any source requires, field is required **Posting period control** - OB52 → period variant → open/close periods per account type (A/D/K/M/S) - Special periods 13–16: year-end audit / tax adjustment periods - Assign variant to company code: OBY6 **Balance carryforward** - ECC: F.16 (carry forward P&L to retained earnings account) - S/4HANA: FAGLGVTR (Universal Journal carryforward) - Must run after all year-end postings are complete **Foreign currency valuation** - ECC: F.05 → per valuation method, G/L account selection - S/4HANA: FAGL_FC_VAL → ledger-based, parallel currency support - Valuation method config: OB59 → exchange rate type, loss/gain accounts **Intercompany clearing** - OBYA → due-to / due-from clearing accounts per company code pair - Cross-company document: one header, postings in two company codes automatically --- ## 5. Special G/L Transactions (Universal) | Type | Description | Vendor T-codes | Customer T-codes | |------|-------------|----------------|------------------| | A/F | Down Payment Request | F-47 | F-37 | | F | Down Payment | F-48 | F-29 | | — | Down Payment Clearing | F-54 | F-39 | | B/G | Guarantee (statistical) | F-55 | F-49 | | W/V | Bills of Exchange | F-36 | F-33 | Configuration check path: - OBXT → AP Special G/L → automatic account determination - OBXR → AR Special G/L → automatic account determination - TBSLT → Special G/L indicator properties (noted item / statistical / free offsetting) --- ## 6. Asset Accounting — FI-AA **Asset master creation** - AS01 (new asset) / AS91 (legacy data transfer with historical values) - Asset class drives: depreciation key, useful life, G/L accounts (AO90) **Asset postings** - Acquisition: F-90 (external purchase) / MIGO 101+PO (goods receipt → capitalization) - Transfer between assets: ABUMN (within same company code) - Partial/full retirement: ABAVN (without revenue) / ABAON (with revenue) **Depreciation run (AFAB)** - ALWAYS run test mode first → review AFBP (depreciation posting log) for errors - Repeat run: if depreciation posted with errors → AFAB → repeat run for period - Depreciation key config: AFAMA → period control method → base value **Year-end asset procedures** - AJAB: fiscal year close for asset accounting → prevents further postings to closed year - AJRW: open new fiscal year → required before any posting in new year **S/4HANA difference** - New Asset Accounting only (classic AA not supported) - Parallel ledgers mandatory for multi-GAAP scenarios - APC values stored in ACDOCA (Universal Journal) — not separate AA tables --- ## 7. GR/IR Account Management Universal clearing process: 1. **MB5S** → analyze GR/IR balances → identify aged / mismatched items 2. **MR11** → automatic GR/IR clearing proposal (always simulate first — "test run") 3. Manual reversal: if PO cancelled without GR → reverse GR document (MIGO 102) 4. Month-end accrual: if GR posted but no invoice yet → accrue via FBS1 (reverse next period with F.81) **S/4HANA**: GRIR Fiori app (Manage GR/IR Accounts) replaces MB5S for operational use --- ## 8.
