1.1 Client
Client is the highest level in the SAP hierarchy.
Specifications or data which will be valid for all organizational units in all SAP applications are entered at
the client level, eliminating the need to enter this information more than once (e.g. exchange rates).
Each client is a self-contained unit which has separate master records and a complete set of tables and data.
A client key is used automatically in all master records in background, which ensures that they are stored per
client.
Users must enter a client key and have a user master record in the client in order to log on to the system.
The Enterprise Structure in SAP Finance module consists of the following entities under Client:
Company
Company Code
Chart of Accounts
Chart of Depreciation
There will be one Client (SS01) for SS Machines.
1.2 Company
A Company represents a group of entities (one or more Company codes) in SAP. This entity is used for
consolidation of accounts of multiple entities (Company Codes). All company codes within a company can use the
same operational Chart of Accounts and the same Fiscal Year breakdown. However, the company code currencies
can be different.
1.3 Company Code
A Company Code represents an independent legal accounting entity in SAP. Balance Sheets and Profit/Lossstatements required will be created at the Company Code level. In other words, a company code is an organizational
unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for external reporting purpose. The process
of external reporting involves recording all relevant transactions and generating all supporting documents required
for financial statements.

A Chart of Accounts is a classification consisting of a group of General Ledger (G/L) accounts under a
Client.
It provides a framework for the recording of values, in order to ensure an orderly rendering of accounting
data.
The chart of accounts contains the definitions of all G/L accounts in an ordered form.
The definitions consist mainly of the account number, account name, and the type of G/L account, that is,
whether the account is a P&L type account or a BS type account.
One or more Chart of Accounts can be created for the same Client
A Chart of Accounts can be used by one or more Company Codes.
The following COA will be maintained at company code level.
1.5 Group Chart of Accounts (GCOA)
The group Chart of Accounts contains the G/L accounts that are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the
company to provide reports for the entire corporate group.
There would be one group COA at SS01 (Client Level) and all other COA would be mapped to group COA for the
purpose of consolidation.
One group Chart of Accounts can be assigned to different charts of accounts as shown below:
1.6 Chart of Depreciation
A Chart of Depreciation is a list of depreciation areas like book depreciation as per The Companies Act of the
Kingdom of Bhutan, 2000. Chart of Depreciation is created in order to manage various statutory requirements for the
depreciation and valuation of assets. These Charts of Depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined
independently of the other organizational units. A Chart of Depreciation, for example, can be used for all the
company codes in a given country. A single Chart of Depreciation will be assigned to the company code SS00 and
the Chart of Depreciation will consists of the following depreciation areas:
01- Book Depreciation as per Income Tax Act of the United States of America, 2001.
10- Depreciation as per Company Policy.
15- Depreciation as U.S A, Tariff Determination Regulation, 2007.
20- Depreciation as per IFRS.
1.7 Controlling Area
The controlling area is the business unit where cost accounting is carried out. Controlling Area delimits the
company‟s managerial accounting operations. Organization structure is replicated in the controlling system. The
company code and controlling area uses identical chart of accounts, currency & business area. Cost centers, internal
orders, profit centers are used to classify the controlling area. All inter organizational allocations refers to objects
within the same controlling area.
SS Machines will have SS01 as its Controlling Area.
The following are the cost centers

1.8 Cost Centers
Cost Center in SAP is an organizational unit within a company that is used to track where costs occurred within the
organization (i.e., as a cost collector).In other words, Cost Centers are responsibility areas for costs within the
organization. Cost Centers are logical units or functional areas or locations of a company.
Before cost center is created, a hierarchical structure (called Standard Hierarchy) is set up and assigned to the
controlling area. Once created, it cannot be deleted or changed in Controlling Area.
The Cost Center is the lowest node of the hierarchical structure.
A standard hierarchy (SS01) is to be assigned to the controlling area SSS0 and cost centers are created consideringthe company‟s overall operational structure.
1.9 Profit Centers
Profit Centers represent separate areas of operation/locations within an organization and can be used across
company codes.
They are balancing entities which are able to create their own set of financial statements for internal purposes.
Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are assigned to Profit Centers. This entity is used for segmental
reporting by drawing P&L statement and Balance Sheet for a segment (typically a line of business or geographical
location).
Following are the Profit Centers
for SS01, Profit Center

2.0. GENERAL LEDGERS
Definition:
A general ledger is a primary accounting record used by a business to keep track of all the financialtransactions the company makes. Debits and credits, are recorded, or "posted," in the general ledger,
regardless of whether or not they also post to a subsidiary ledger (sub-ledger), such as accounts receivable or
cash. These values can provide the information used to generate all of a company's financial statements. The
central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external reporting and accounting.
Recording is done for all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal
accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of SS machines
ensuring that the accounting data is always complete and accurate. Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
Asset etc., will be categorized as subsidiary ledgers.
The SAP General Ledger module provides the following functions for SS machines:
2.1 CHART OF ACCOUNTS (COA)
A Chart of Accounts is a classification consisting of a group of General Ledger (G/L) accounts under a Client.
Only one COA will be configured in SAP for Ss Machines, which is SS00 and it will perform the following:
Provide a framework for the recording of values, in order to ensure an orderly rendering of accounting
data.
The chart of accounts contains the definitions of all G/L accounts in an ordered form.
The definitions consist mainly of the account number, account name, and the type of G/L account, that
is, whether the account is a P&L type account or a BS type account.
One or more Chart of Accounts can be created for the same Client
A Chart of Accounts can be used by one or more Company Codes.
2.2 MASTER DATA
2.2.1 Definition
G/L account master records contain the data that is always needed by the General Ledger to determine the
account's function. The G/L account master records control the posting of accounting transactions to G/L
accounts and the processing of the posting data.
2.2.2 Use
Before you can make postings to a G/L account, you have to create a master record in the system for the
account.
2.2.3 Structure
G/L account master records are divided into two areas so that company codes with the same chart of accounts
can use the same G/L accounts.
· Chart of accounts area
The chart of accounts area contains the data that is valid for all company codes, such as the
account number.
· Company code specific area
The company code specific area contains data that may vary from one company code to another,
such as the currency in which the account may be posted.

2.2.4 Structure for SS machines
General Ledger master contains the following:
GL Naming Conventions
GL Number Ranges
Types of Accounts
Description and
Control Data
2.2.5 General Ledger Naming Convention
In SS machines, the naming convention of GL Accounts is done in such a way that the user can identify
whether the GL A/c is Asset or Liability or Income etc. as shown below:
1. 1000000000: Asset
2. 2000000000: Liabilities
3. 3000000000: Owners‟ Equity
4. 4000000000: Income
5. 5000000000: Expenses
6. 6000000000: Clearing Accounts
7. 9000000000: Initial Uploads
Points to be considered with respect to G/L accounts are:
Master records for each G/L account will be created and maintained at each company code level.
The master record contains information and controlling parameters which control the entry and
processing of business transactions in that G/L account.
G/L accounts will also be used for posting transactions from other modules of SAP.( MM / HCM/ SD,
Etc)
2.3 INTEGRATION
In the standard system, all business transactions that are posted to G/L accounts are updated in the general
ledger. Additionally, you can define further ledgers to which data can also be posted. To do this, you must
implement the Special Purpose Ledger [Ext.].

2.4 COMPANY CODE SEGMENT The information, which is specific to a particular company, is maintained in the Company Code segment of
the General Ledger Master record. This data controls how one enters and processes business transaction data
in the appropriate account as well as how the account is managed within a Company Code. The company codeto be used for SS machines configuration is SS00
The following are some of the specifications which will be made for each G/L account:
Currency - account currency (USD)
Reconciliation Account for Account Type - to specify the control accounts for the sub ledgers.
Open Item Management - will be maintained for an account that requires open item management. Eg.Bank sub-accounts, GR/IR Clearing account, etc., are maintained in Open Item Management.
Line Item Display - will be retained for accounts for which line items are to be stored separately. Eg.
Bank main accounts, all expense accounts, all balance sheet accounts, excepting accounts which are of
the nature of reconciliation accounts
2.5 CURRENCY
For each Company Code, a currency must be specified. Accounts are managed in the Company Code
currency. All other currencies are indicated as foreign currency. The system converts the amounts
posted in a foreign currency into the Company Code (Local) currency. The currency defined in the
Company Code is known as the local currency within SAP. USD currency will be used for SS
machines.
2.6 ASSET MASTER
The Asset Accounting module contains master records that control how business transactions arerecorded and posted to the account. The Asset master record also contains all the data required to
manage company‟s Fixed Assets. Standard asset class will be used to configure SS machines
Following details will be maintained in the Asset Master for SS machines:
General Master Data
This part of the master record contains concrete information about the fixed asset.
The following field groups exist:
General information (description, quantity, etc.)
Posting information (for example capitalization date etc.)
Time-dependent assignments (for example cost center, custodian, etc)
Information on the origins of the asset
Insurance data
Depreciation areas [Each asset class is maintained with different depreciation areas as required for SSmachines.
2.7 Fiscal Year and Fiscal year Variant
To separate business transactions into different periods, a fiscal year with posting periods has to bedefined.
The fiscal year is defined as a variant which is assigned to the Company Code. Standard fiscal year variants are already defined in the system and can be used as templates. The fiscal year variant
contains the definition of posting periods and special periods.
7/30/2019 Ss Machines Ltd Bbp Final
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ss-machines-ltd-bbp-final 13/55
Business Blueprint
SS Machines Project Page 13
Special periods are used for postings which are not assigned to time periods, but to the process of year-
end closing.
The fiscal year will consist of maximum of 12 posting and 4 special periods.
A fiscal year is defined as fiscal year variant which is then assigned to Company Code. One fiscal year
variant can be used by several Company Codes. The following are the available options for defining
fiscal year variants:
Fiscal year same as calendar year.
Fiscal year differs from calendar year (non-calendar fiscal year). The posting periods can also bedifferent to the calendar months.
The fiscal year variant that would be used by SS machines will be V3 (April to March)
2.8 Document Types
The document type controls the document header and is used to differentiate the business transactions to be
posted, e.g. Customer invoice, Vendor payments, etc. Standard document type will be used for SS machinesconfiguration.
Document types are required in SAP to create and post financial documents (e.g. Bank Payment
Voucher, Receipt Voucher etc.).
Document types are defined at the client level and are therefore valid for all company codes.
The standard system is delivered with document types which can be used, changed, or copied.
SAP has the standard Document Types, which will be adopted by SS machines.
The document number range defines the allowable range in which a document number must be
positioned and cannot overlap. SAP standard number range will be used by SS machines
The document number range has to be defined for the year in which it is used.
The system stores the last used document number from the number range in the field “current number”and takes the subsequent number for the next document.
2.9 Posting Key
Posting Key controls Debit or Credit account indicator for each line item.
The posting key also describes the type of transaction that is entered in a line item and allowable
account type, which will be entered for the respective line item.
SAP provides certain predefined posting keys. These predefined posting keys will be used wherever
applicable. For every posting key, properties control the entry of the line item.
For each Posting Key, a reversal-posting key may be defined. The reversal-posting key is used toreverse a document posted in Financial Accounting.

2.9.1 General Ledger Postings
The General Ledger forms the backbone of all the financial systems. General ledger is the main
accounting record of a business which uses double-entry bookkeeping. It captures all businesstransactions in FI and through integration with other operational areas of the company ensures that
accounting data is always complete and accurate.
General ledger is a comprehensive financial management solution that enhances financials controls,
data collection, information access and financial reporting. It is the central repository of all the
accounting information of the organization as on date. Most of the transactions will be handled in
respective sub-ledgers (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Assets) and subsequently
consolidated and posted to General Ledger. However, the module shall provide specific functions of
passing journal entries (Manual, Provisional, Recurring and Reversal Journals) and posting them,
which will be purely rectification and provisional in nature.
Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions of SS machines business. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in real-time processing by
displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels.
Features of GL Accounting
GL Account maintenance
Open item clearing
Foreign currency valuation
Recurring journal entry
Accrual/ reversal posting
2.9.2 Posting with Clearing
7/30/2019 Ss Machines Ltd Bbp Final
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ss-machines-ltd-bbp-final 15/55
Business Blueprint
SS Machines Project Page 15
There are some GL accounts that need to be maintained as open item. Examples of GL Account to be
managed in open items are-
- Bank clearing accounts,
- Clearing accounts for goods receipt/invoice receipt
- Salary clearing accounts.
By posting with clearing, system clears the open item in the account.
2.9.3 Document ReversalIt is possible for a user to make an input error. As a result, the document created will contain incorrect
information. In order to provide an audit of the correction, the user must first reverse the document in error,
and then capture the document correctly.
The system provides a function to reverse G/L, A/R and A/P documents both individually or in mass.
When reversing a document, a reversal reason code must be entered to explain the reason for reversal.
The reason code also controls if the reversal date is allowed to be different from the original posting
date.
SS machines can use standard reversal reasons or can define its reasons.
Documents with cleared items cannot be reversed. The document must first be reset.
Some standard Reversal Reasons;01 - Reversal in current period
02 - Reversal in closed period
05 - Accrual
06 - Asset transactions reversal
07 - Incorrect document date
However, it needs to be noted that reversal of any document will affect the allocation cycles in case if these processes are completed. It will be required to re-run all these cycles once again after reversing the document.
2.10 Accounts Groups
The account group is a summary of accounts based on criteria that effects how master records are created.
The account group determines:
The number interval from which the account number is selected when a G/L account is created.
Use:
When you create a G/L account in the chart of accounts area, you must specify an account group.
Liabilities – 100000 series
Assets – 200000 series
Owner‟s equity 300000 series
Income – 400000 series
Expenditure – 500000 series
Clearing – 600000 series
Initial Uploads – 900000 series
The above sub-modules are integrated to FI-G/L via the “field reconciliation for account type” in thecompany – code specific segment of GL master. With this indicator, the G/L account can only be
posted via respective sub-ledger in SAP. Different indicators for „reconciliation for account type‟ are:

SS Machines Project Page 16
A- Asset Management
D- Account receivable
K- Accounts payable
Inventory accounts are posted to directly by movement of materials. This occurs based on account assignment
configuration between the MM and FI modules. These GL accounts are set as „Automatically Post Only‟,which ensures the value always in sync from MM to FI.

3.0. ACCOUNTS PAYABLES
“Accounts Payable” , a sub module under Financial Accounting (FI) , takes care of Vendor related transactions as the module is
tightly integrated with the purchasing transactions arising from the „ procurement Cycle.‟
Based on the nature of different transactions involved like payables and down payments etc., different GL accounts will be affected.
For open items in Account payables, the system contains due date forecasts and other standard reports that can be used to monitor
open items.
Features of Accounts Payable
Vendor master maintenance
Advance payment tracking & settlement
Non- P.O Invoice Processing
Credit/Debit memo processing
Automatic & manual payment program
Open Item * GR/IR Clearing.
Balance confirmations, accounts statements, and other forms of reports to suit requirements in business correspondence
with vendors.
Vendor- Customer Cross adjustments.
The relationship between Customer and Vendor Accounts
3.1. Vendor Master Data
The accounting department uses some data (customer/vendor) that remains unchanged for long periods of time & that is often
referred to by other data. That is called Master Data.
The AP component contains Vendor master records that control how business transactions are recorded & posted to the account.
The master record is used not only in Accounting but also in Materials Management.
3.1.1 General Data:
This data is contained at the client level and can be accessed throughout the whole organization. This data applied to whole purchase
organization in the company. The general data includes example of customer‟s name, address, language, telephone, payments
transactions etc.
3.1.2 Company Code Data:
It is created at the CC level. Any Cc that wishes to do business with that Vendor has to create a CC segment for that vendor. The
data includes , for example , the reconciliation account number and terms of payments, Correspondence, insurance information etc.
3.1.3. Purchase Organization Data:
This data is relevant to the purchase organizations and distribution channels of the company. Data that is stored in this area includes,
for example, data on order processing, shipping, & billing.

A vendor account group is used to group together vendors by some criteria. E.G. a business may have different account groups for
international, domestic and one-time vendors. Similar settings can then be defined once and used for all the vendors in the same
vendor account group.
The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records. The account group determines: the number
interval for the account number of the vendor,
whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,
Which specifications are necessary and/or possible in the master record?

3.2.1 Number range for Vendors:
Number Ranges for Vendor Account Groups Definition: Identifies a number range interval within an object or sub object.
A unique number is assigned to each business partner master record. You can use this number to access the master record,
or to refer to the business partner when processing business transactions.
A number range can be valid for more than one account group. You can use the number range to assign different numbers
to a head office and subsidiaries.
The number for a business partner master record can be assigned in one of the following ways:
I. Externally: You assign the number. In this case, you define a number range that allows for alphanumerical number
assignment. The system checks whether the number you enter are unique and within the number range defined by the
account group.
II. Internally: The system assigns a consecutive number automatically from a number range defined by the account group.
SS Machines: Standard SAP Internal Number range
3.3. Payment methods:
Payment methods have 2 parts: country specific settings and firm code specific settings. This section particulars the essential
requirements and specs for payment strategies for each country.
Within the type knowledge area, specify the name of the SAPScript type for payment media

3.3.1. Payment terms:
Key for defining payment terms composed of cash discount percentages and payment periods. It is used in sales orders,
purchase orders, and invoices. Terms of payment provide information for: “Cash management”, “ Dunning procedures”,
and “Payment transactions”.
Terms of payment can be defined for each vendor which will be updated in each Vendor Master and defaulted in the P.O.
Terms of payment will define the credit period, due date and cash discount, if applicable. The due date will calculated from
the baseline date as per payment terms, which will be either of following dates:
Document date

3.4. Vendor Tolerance Group:
Freely definable group code for customers and vendors, or G/L accounts. Tolerance groups are unique within a company
code. Each tolerance group contains settings that affect cash discount and payment difference processing. These settings
become effective during payment entry.
You can use the tolerance level to set a percentage or absolute tolerated difference between the transmitted value and the
open value. If the difference exceeds the tolerance limit, a new open item is created.
The system compares the value transmitted with the value that is still open in the internal invoice for the delivery. You can
set tolerance limits at delivery and/or item level (material.) If the tolerance limit is not violated, no new open item is
created.
SS Limited Tolerance for Vendors:
Max- 999999 USD 10%
3.5. Vendor Reconciliation Accounts:
The reconciliation account ensures the integration of a Sub ledger account into the general ledger. When you post items to a
subsidiary ledger, the system automatically posts the same data to the general ledger. Each subsidiary ledger has one or
more reconciliation accounts in the general ledger. We can‟t use reconciliation account for direct posting.
3.5.1. Alternative Reconciliation Accounts:
The reconciliation account in G/L accounting is the account which is updated parallel to the sub ledger account for normal
postings (for example, invoice or payment).
For special postings (for example, down payment or bill of exchange), this account is replaced by another account (for
example, 'down payments received' instead of 'receivables'). The replacement takes place due to the special G/L indicator
which you must specify for these types of postings.
3.6. Taxes
SAP allows the consideration of fol taxes:
a. Tax on sales and purchases b. US sales tax
c. Additional taxes(country-specific, for example, investment tax in Norway, clearing tax in
Belgium)
d. Withholding tax
Tax on Sales and Purchases
Tax on sales and purchases is the balance of two: Output tax & Input Tax
I. Output tax: levied on net value of goods sold and is billed to customer; It‟s a liability of CC to tax authorities.
II. Input Tax: levied on net invoice amount billed by vendor; It‟s a receivable which CC claims from tax authority.
3.7. Payment Block:
Some invoices can have pymt block.

payment items can be temporarily blocked in the proposal by manually assigning a payment block .The doc incl in the payment
run have been locked against any other posting like paid manually or in another payment run.
If the problem arises during I nvoice Verif ication process , the invoice is usually blocked for pymt. If there is a reason why a
Vendor shouldn‟t be paid, you can create a pymt block in in the master data. When an AP invoice is enters it can be blocked f or
pmt.
The type of pymt block determines whether it can be removed during the pymt proposal.We can define additional pymt block in the system.
User can also specify whether the pymt block can be removed when pymts are processed.
SS Machines Ltd uses these Codes for Payment Block:
A Blocked for Payment
B Blocked for Payment
N Post process inc. Payment
P Payment request
R Invoice Verification
S Other reasons(1)
V Payment Clearing
3.8. Automatic Payment program:
The payment program is designed so that both outgoing and incoming payments can be processed. These functions are
supported for payment transactions with vendors and customers and between bank accounts.
All the common payment procedures are in the standard system or can be set up within Customizing. All default values used in
the payment program are required in the following.
The payment program processes domestic and foreign payments for vendors, customers and between bank accounts. It
generates the payment program and provides the data for the payment medium programs. These ABAP programs print a
payment list, payment forms (e.g. checks) or generate data media such as magnetic tape or disk. A further possibility is the
distribution of payment data to a central system via ALE.
3.8.1. There are 4 steps to the cost process:
1. Parameters : In this step, the next questions are requested and answered:
Who is going to be paid?
What fee methods will seemingly be used?
When will they be paid?
Which company codes will be thought-about?
How are they going to be paid?
1. Proposal: Once the parameters have been specified, the proposal run is scheduled and it produces a listing of business
companions and open invoice es which would possibly be due for payment. Invoices might be blocked or unblocked for
payment.
2. Program: As quickly as the payment list has been verified, the cost run is scheduled. A cost doc is created and the overall ledger
and sub-ledger accounts are updated.
3. Print: The accounting capabilities are accomplished and a separate print program is scheduled to generate the payment media.

The main payment program configuration menu has push buttons for each area. To be sure that the configuration is complete,
work from left to proper by every push button. The primary three areas would require minimal configuration changes. Thestandard system incorporates the frequent payment strategies and their corresponding varieties, which have been definedseparately for each country.
3.9 House Bank Definition
Checks supplied by a bank or a printing shop are usually divided into lots, since they may be written (issued) or printed at various
different locations. In the SAP System, a check number range represents a batch (lot) of numbered checks.
In the Financial Accounting Configuration menu, you must define check lots (number ranges) that correspond to the actual check
lots (in the printer, the safe, or your employees' desks). The print program uses this number range to link the check with the
payment.

4.0. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES
The Accounts Receivable SAP FI sub module records and manages accounting data of all customers. It is an integral part of sales
and distribution management. All postings in Accounts Receivable are recorded directly in the General Ledger and updated in
different General Ledger accounts based on the transactions involved - i.e advance receipts, bank guarantees and down payments
etc.
There are a range of tools available for documenting the transactions that occur in Accounts Receivable, including account balance
lists, journals, balance audit trails, and other standard reports.
In an organization, FI- AR and SD use the customer master records. The customer master records are stored and updated centrally to
reduce inconsistency and maintain data integrity.
Features of Account Receivables
Customer master maintenance
Customer down payment processing
Dunning, Balance confirmation etc
Clearing of incoming payment against Customer invoice
There are also a range of tools that can be used to monitor open items, such as account analyses, due date lists etc.

4.2. Customer Accounts Groups
Customer account group is a classification or grouping of customers based on the characteristics of the groupings. A customer
account must be assigned to an account group. The account group ensures that only the relevant screens and fields are displayed andready for input for each of the customer‟s different functions. For example, the address, communication, and bank data fields are
omitted for the account group for one-time accounts.
The customers are classified into two categories based on the data requirement & maintenance:
Customers for sale of Products and services the customers who buy products and service from SS Machines company will
be created in S&D module.
Other Customers: These are one time, occasional customers for sale of SS Machines products, parts and miscellaneous
sales.

4.3.1. Numbering Master Records
The customer master record number will be assigned internally the system and the system ensures that the numbers assigned are
always unique. With internal assignment, the system selects the next number from the interval and therefore, no duplication of
numbers. With external assignment, the system prevents entering the same number twice. A customer identification key will besame in all Company Codes.
SS Machines company will use the following account Groups number ranges:
Group Customer Groups names Number Ranges Number Assignment
0001 Local Customers – Sold to 0000001000 - 0000001999 Internal
0002 Foreign Customers Receivables- Ship to 0000002000 - 0000002999 Internal

0005 One time Customer – OTC – Tax Refundable 0000005000 - 0000005999 Internal
4.3.2. Reconciliation Accounts
A reconciliation account must be specified in the master record so that all postings made to a subsidiary ledger are also posted to the
general ledger.
Currently SS Machines is billing to foreign and domestic customers. In SAP, the processes related to sales are routed through Salesand Distribution Model (SD). The GL accounts for foreign customer and domestic customer is maintained in SD module using
pricing condition. Whenever billing happens from SD, revenue accounts and customer accounts are determined automatically and
posted to FI.
The FI module is integrated with the SD module by defining the account determinations in the SAP system. Sales activities
leading to financial implications automatically update the respective Customer & G/L accounts.
Asset / Material disposal will be routed through SD module and corresponding accounting entry will be posted in FI. If the
disposal is with the Customer, customer master will be created. Sales order will be created in SD for the selected customers
against approved materials.

4.4. Special GL Accounts
Special GL transactions are special transactions in accounts receivable and accounts payable that are displayed separately in the
general ledger and the sub ledger. This is achieved by posting to alternative GL accounts, instead of posting to the reconciliation
accounts for receivables and payables.
The special GL accounts available in the standard system are:
Down payments and down payment requests
Guarantees
Reserves for bad debt
Security deposits
The above special procedures are displayed from other receivables and payables on the balance sheet either for down payment or
guarantees receipts. A separate special GL accounts is created for each special GL transaction. This will make it possible to display
each transaction in the balance sheet without having to carry out any transfer postings and to receive an overview the account
limited to this procedure only.
Down Payment Request F-37

i) Raising of Invoices
Invoices will be generated and accounted where the products and services are sold. The debit to the customer accounts will directly
flow from the S&D/modules, in accordance with the customer account selected at the time of sales order. Balance sheet account i.e.
customer reconciliation account will be decided by the system automatically based reconciliation account maintained in Customer
Master.

ii) Sales Accounting
Accounting documents for all customer transactions originating from SD and other receivables will be generated automatically in
the system in all cases.
iii) Delivery
Based on the customer sales order, delivery is created in Sales. The last step in shipping is posting of goods issue, which results in a
material document and an accounting document being created in the background. Apart from reduction in the quantity, it reduces the
inventory and debits the Cost of Goods Sold account.
Dr. Cost of Goods sold
Cr. Inventory
iv) Invoices
With reference to the delivery, a sales invoice will be created in SD, which will be posted to FI as follows:
Dr. Customer Account
Dr. Discounts (if applicable)
Cr. Sales Revenue Account
Cr Accrual commissions (Collection commission)
The customer reconciliation account is derived from the customer master as explained in the previous chapter.
v) Advance Invoices- will be handled as a Performa invoice with no effect in the customer account balance, and the
payment for this invoice will be handled as a down payment. This down payment will be cleared against the actual
invoices.
Advance invoices will be linked to the actual delivery and the actual invoice, to be able to know the remaining amount from those
invoices, and a customized report will be generated to show the history for them.
V1) Posting a Credit Memo with Reference to the Invoice
Posting a Credit Memo will be processed with Reference to the Invoice in Sales and Distribution if the Sales and Distribution (SD)
component is in scope. This ensures full integration of the sales and distribution and accounting/controlling functionality.
Posting of sales returns credit memo from SD will cause the following entries:
Dr. Sales Revenue
Dr. Accrued interest

The credit department will process a complete and continuous follow-up of outstanding debts for business whenever customer payments are not fulfilled, after the delivery of goods and services or drawn automatically using direct debit.
4.5.1. Correspondence with customers
The dunning system in SAP enables you to handle the process from, for outstanding customer accounts that have not been settled.
4.5.2. Credit Limit
SS Machines will use the credit management component to set the desired credit limit for their customers and the customer will be
blocked automatically if they exceed their credit limit amount only. Accounts Team can also block customer manually.There will
be credit check, in quotations, sales order , delivery , billing .
4.5.3. Customer Payment
Different payment methods exist in SAP. The customer payments can be processed using the following different methods:
C = Incoming Check
T = Bank Transfer in
Cash Deposit
4.6. Customer is also a Supplier/ Vendor
If a customer is also a vendor, or vice versa, there can be the payment program and the dunning program to offset the customer and
vendor open items against each other. For this, Customer Vs Vendor relation will be maintained if required and the incoming and
outgoing payments will be automatically adjusted by the systems.
User can also select the vendor line items at the time of display of the customer/vendor line items for this account. Before clearing
items between a vendor and customer account, it is a requirement to:
Create a customer master record for the vendor that is also a customer
Enter the vendor account number in the Vendor field in the control section of the general data
in the customer master record.
Enter the customer account number in the Customer field in the control section of the general
data in the vendor master record.
Choose Clearing with vendor and clearing with customer in the company code data in
both the customer and vendor master records. In this way, each company code can decide
separately whether it needs to offset the customer against the vendor.
4.6.1. Clearance - Customer Vendor Cross Clearing Transactions
For customer/vendor processing a clearing transaction for incoming/outgoing payment or account maintenance, the system will
select the open vendor items automatically, provided that the vendor number is entered in the customer master record and the
clearing with Vendor indicator has been set. The same rule applies for a vendor that is also a customer during a clearing transaction.

It includes the management of bank master data; cash balance management, and the creation and processing of incoming and

Bank Accounting Bank Master Data Bank Master Data
Bank Reconciliation Bank Reconciliation
5.1. Bank Master Data
In the SAP system, bank master data is stored centrally in the bank directory. In addition to defining bank master data, you also
define your own bank details (house banks) and those for your business partner (entered in the business partner's master record). The
following are the components of bank master data.
House Bank – All bank data is determined using this key
Account Id – This ID together with the ID for the house bank uniquely defines a
bank account
Description – Name of the bank, Location etc.
Bank A/C Number – This field contains the number under which the account is
managed at the bank
Currency – Currency in which the Bank Account is maintained
Country – The country in which the Bank is located
GL Account – The GL Account of the Bank
The following diagram illustrates the relation between Bank and GL account
i) Bank Directories
The bank directory contains the bank master data. This includes the bank address data and control data.
7/30/2019 Ss Machines Ltd Bbp Final
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ss-machines-ltd-bbp-final 33/55
Business Blueprint
SS Machines Project Page 33
The bank directory must contain the master data for all the banks that you require for payment transactions with your business
partners
ii) Bank Details
To be able to run the payment program, the system requires details on your own bank, and these details must be entered in the
customer and vendor master records. In the company code-specific data of a vendor master record, you could for example enter the
house bank from which payment is to be made to this vendor. If you do not enter a bank in the master record, you must specify the
rules by which the payment program determines the bank. The data that you enter is the same in both cases- an ID code for your
bank.
iii) House Bank
A list of house bank represents the bank in which the company uses for its outgoing and incoming payments. SAP will then refer
to this list maintain in table BNKA for its automatic payment program as well as to forecast bank balances with SAP
treasury function .
These lists are maintained at the company code level and each house banks are given a user defined bank ID that can be
alphanumeric. For this implementation, bank list will be maintained in all company codes, List o f bank o f various
company codes has to be obtained and customized. The house banks will be created for every main and branch bank.
iv) The naming conventions for the bank ID are base on these logics:
Use the first letter of the bank name and the first letter for bank as acronyms which described the house bank. The graph
below illustrates acronyms for Citibank. The last two digit of the house bank will use 00 to denote first bank l isted in the
system. Therefore for Citibank, it can have up to 100 branches entered in the system using the CB convention. It isrecommended to use 00 to identify the main bank of the company.
Example:
CB000 - Citibank Main Branch
CB001 - Citibank New York City
CB002 - Citibank Washington DC
Bank accounts are maintained for every house banks using a unique bank ID. This bank ID is used to enter specification
for bank payment and general ledger master records.
v) Bank Account ID
Each bank ID is unique within a company code. For each bank, enter the bank country, and either the bank number or an
appropriate country-specific key. The system uses this information to identify the correct bank master data .
5.2. GL Account
A G/L master record is created for each bank account. One bank account will have a corresponding two bank clear ing accounts,
i.e. outgoing and incoming payment.
The benefit of having two bank clearing accounts is that it helps to simplify processing of electronic bank statements

There are two key master data types in Cash Management, namely the house banks and the bank accounts. The critical information
required to set up these master data include bank name, bank key, bank branch and bank address.
The use of the bank account G/L structure can be seen through the following example.
When the company executes the payment program and makes payments for open payables, the following post ings take place:
Dr
Vendor AP account
Cr
Outgoing clearing account (G/L AccountXXXXXX 02)
This amount will remain in the outgoing clearing account until it clears the bank. Once the outgoing payments clear the bank, the
following postings take place:
Dr
Outgoing clearing account
Cr
Main bank G/L account
5.3.1. Bank Data Accounting Process
Requirement and Expectation
There is need for accounting of all bank related transactions like, vendor payment, customer receipt and any other payments and
receipts through bank. On regular basis bank account is reconciled with bank statement and reconciliation differences areshown to match both the balances
5.3.2. Business Mapping to R3
SAP bank accounting application helps in posting transaction for funds transfer between the banks, and for doing bank
reconciliation. And also Bank Account will impact based on the Receipt from customer or payment to vendor.
Presently SS Machines is having banks accounts at their main office in New York. In SAP House bank and account ID is created for
each of the banks and bank clearing accounts will be used for posting transactions related to payment and receipts. Bank Account
will be created for each of the bank and bank clearing accounts are configured to the respective bank accounts. Presently SS
Machines one bank CITI Bank and 3 accounts.
Three Accounts are
ACCOUNT 1 – General Deposits
ACCOUNT 2 – Payments
ACCOUNT 3 – Payroll
Bank Master and Account ID and bank account is created for each bank and will be mapped to automatic payment program ,
Cheque lots will be maintained form annual check payment and automatic check payment. Bank master data has to be
uploaded at the time of realization

Normal bank payment transactions are happening through Accounts Payable Model.
5.5. Manual Bank ReconciliationPage81of157
There are basically two steps in this method:
1. The transfer-posting screen under G/ L, the users retrieve the open items under incoming bank clearing account and select them if
they appear on the deposit column of the statement. The open items can be sorted by date to ease matching. Upon completion,
post them against the main bank account. The system will generate the accounting entries l ike the followings:
Dr Main bank
Cr bank incoming clearing
2. The transfer-posting screen under G/ L, the users retrieve the open items under outgoing bank clearing
account and select them if they appear on t he withdrawal column of the statement. The open items can be
sorted by date to ease matching. Upon completion, post them against the main bank account. The system will
generate the accounting entries like the following:
Dr Bank outgoing clearing
Cr Main bank
Steps Procedures
1 Received hardcopy of bank statement
2 Identify bank statement items that can be matched withthe line items in the GL bank account
3 Manually post items that exists in bank statement but not
yet captured in the system
4 Manually post and clear the matched items
5 Manually prepare the reconciliation statement
5.6. Description of Improvement
Reconciliation can be done as often as you get the bank statement and will ensure that data is captured on time. This will also
automatically match the bank statement and bank account

5.7.1. Cash Journal
Business Mapping to R3
Cash Journal is a feature in SAP, which permits separate tracking of cash transactions. Each cash journal should be assigned to one
G/ L account, which represents the cash journal in the general ledger. It is however possible, to connect multiple cash journals with
one G/L account. Cash transactions are saved separately in the cash journal and are transferred periodically (for example, daily) to
the general ledger. The Cash Journal also permits generation of daily balance statements for tallying physical cash with the books of
account. Cash journal will not support for making special GL indicator postings. All postings need to be done to vendor or customer
and adjustment entries to be routed separately to special GL indicator.
A separate cash journal and GL account would be maintained for each location handling cash.
Separate cash journals and corresponding GL accounts would also be maintained.
5.8. Description of Improvement
Cash Journal is very effective in SAP, which can track petty cash transaction for each of the locations separately and also will be
tracking balances on daily basis.
Special configuration consideration
No special configuration required.

7.0. ASSET ACCOUNTING
The Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component is used for managing and supervising fixed assets with the SAP R/3 System. In SAP R/3
Financial Accounting, it serves as a subsidiary ledger to the FI General Ledger, providing detailed information on transactions
involving fixed assets.
As a result of the integration in the R/3 System, Asset Accounting (FI-AA) transfers data directly to and from other R/3 components.
For 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.
The system stores all the values and transaction data per each asset master record. You can differentiate between different types of assets in the FI-AA component. The structure of the master record is identical for all asset main numbers, asset sub-numbers and
group assets. Therefore, the basic procedure for creating any of these objects is essentially the same.
Integration (General)
The FI-AA component is integrated in numerous ways with other R/3 components. The integration of Asset accounting with the FI
(Financial Accounting, including Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable) component makes it possible to carry out
• Posting of asset acquisitions and retirements that are integrated with accounts payable and accounts receivable.
• Account assignment of down payments to assets when you post down payments in the Financial Accounting (FI) component.
• Posting of depreciation from Asset Accounting to the appropriate general ledger accounts.

7.1. Asset Classes
Asset classes are the most important means of structuring fixed assets. You can define an unlimited number of asset classes in the
system. You use the asset classes to structure your assets according to the requirements of your enterprise. Asset classes apply in all
company codes. The asset class catalog, therefore, is relevant in all company codes in a client. The preceding is also true when the
company codes have different charts of depreciation and therefore different depreciation areas.
7.2. Chat of Depreciation
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These
charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of
depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country. The chat of Depreciation for company code
SS00 is CDSS.
For SS Machine, there would be monthly posting for Book Depreciation. The depreciation posting cycle is determined by entering
the length of time (in posting periods) between two depreciation-posting runs. This means that a setting of 1 indicates monthly
posting, 3 means quarterly posting, 6 means semi-annual, and 12 means annual (for a fiscal year version with 12 posting periods).
When a depreciation-posting run is started, one has to enter the period for which one wants it to be posted.
7.3. Posting Depreciation
Every asset transaction in the R/3 System FI-AA component immediately causes a change of the forecasted depreciation. However,
it does not immediately cause an update of the depreciation and value adjustment accounts for the balance sheet and profit and loss
statements. The planned depreciation is posted to the general ledger when you run the periodic depreciation posting run. This
posting run uses a batch input session to post the planned depreciation for each posting level for each individual asset as a lump sum
amount.
7.4. Acquisition of an Asset
All Asset purchases will be routed through Materials Management route by issuing necessary Purchase order. The transaction is
similar to the other Material Purchases. In SS Limited the Logistic department will process the Asset Receipt through the MM
module. Most of Assets Sales will be handled through MM module.
Unlike most other business transactions, external acquisition using a purchase order requires a sequence of steps to be performed at
separate times:
These are creating the purchase requisition, creating the purchase order, Posting the goods receipt and Posting the invoice r eceipt.
When you use this integrated ordering process, you first have to create an asset master record. You can then post the purchase order
or the purchase requisition with account assignment to the asset. It is also possible to create fixed assets from within the transaction
for creating the purchase order. This means that you can carry out steps, “create asset” and “create purchase order or purchase
requisition,” within one transaction. You enter the most important asset master data information in a dialog box. From this d ialog
box, you can go directly to the actual asset master data transaction. If the asset you create is incomplete because essential asset
master data information is missing, the asset has to be completed later •

7.4.3. Asset acquisition through Internal Activity
An acquisition from internal activity is the capitalization of goods or activities that are partly or completely created within the
company.
7.5. Intercompany Transfers
There are basically three reasons why you might need to carry out an intercompany transfer within a company code. One reason is if
changes are made to organizational structures (reclassification of asset classes, changes to profit centers, and so on). Second, an
intercompany transfer might be necessary if account assignments are incorrect (for example, incorrect asset class). The third reason
is if a managed asset under construction is completed for summary settlement.
Intercompany transfers from one fixed asset to another within the same company code can be carried out in one step. Automatic
intercompany transfers are only possible, however, if no values from the sending asset are lost and every area of the target asset is
supplied with values.
7.6. Asset Retirement
Asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio. This removal of an asset (or part of an asset) is
posted from a bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. Depending on organizational considerations, or the business
transaction which leads to the retirement, you can distinguish the following types of retirement:
Transactions related to sale of asset are processed in Asset Accounting module. The retirement of asset with revenue can be done by
choosing the respective asset that is to be retired (either partially or wholly). In case of partial retirement, the same may be in te rmsof value or quantity or relative percentage to the actual asset.
An asset is sold to an affiliated company
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted with a customer.
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted against a clearing account.
An asset has to be scrapped, with no revenue earned.

7.8. Fiscal Year Change
From the point of view of the system, a fiscal year change is the opening of a new fiscal year for a company code. At the fiscal year
change, the asset values from the previous fiscal year are carried forward cumulatively into the new fiscal year. Once the fiscal year
change takes place, you can post to assets using value dates in the new fiscal year. At the same time, you can continue to post in the
previous fiscal year. You find the fiscal year change program under Periodic processing.
7.8.1. Process flow
The fiscal year change can only be carried out (even in test mode) for the new fiscal year. The earliest that you can carry out a fiscal
year change is in the last month of the old fiscal year. You can choose any point in the new fiscal year for carrying out the fiscal year
change. Before you can change to fiscal year YYYY, you must have already closed fiscal year YYYY
7.8.2. Year-End-Closing Operations
The year-end closing is an annual balance sheet, an annual profit and loss statement, and an appendix with additional information
(annual report), which has to be created to meet the particular legal obligations in each country. Before you can close a fiscal year in
Financial Accounting from a bookkeeping perspective, you have to carry out preparatory measures in Asset Accounting.
7.8.3. Process Flow
You use the year-end closing program to close the fiscal year for one or more company codes from an accounting perspective. Once
the fiscal year is closed, you can no longer post or change values within Asset Accounting (for example, by recalculating
depreciation). The fiscal year that is closed is always the year following the last closed fiscal year. You cannot close the current
fiscal year.

8.0. COST CENTER ACCOUNTING
The Cost Center Accounting component tracks where costs occur in the organization. The cost center is an organizational unit in a
controlling area. Cost centers can be defined for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As
costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utilitycosts, or any other costs that can be assigned to a given cost center. Prior to creating any cost centers in the controlling area, you
must complete the standard hierarchy, which is the central cost center hierarchy created in your system which acts as one repository
for all cost centers. Cost centers are the lowest node in the hierarchy.
In SS00, a standard hierarchy (CC_SS00) is to be assigned to the controlling area COSS and cost centers are created depending on
the overall operational structure of the company.
Cost centers should be opened or created at the lowest level of the hierarchy for which management requires a break-down of cost
and also, expenses can be identified with. However, it is always prudent to minimize cost centers to a manageable level.
8.1. SS Machines will have the following cost centers:

8.2. ASSESSMENT OF COST CENTERS
Assessment is a method of allocating primary and secondary costs in Cost Center Accounting. Costs posted to an original object
called a sender are allocated via a set of rules to an object called a receiver. With assessments in cost center accounting, the sender
will always be a cost center but the receiver can be any other CO object such as an order, a cost object, or a cost center. An
Assessment Cycle is created to transfer primary and secondary costs using secondary cost elements from a sender cost center to
receiving cost center. The original cost elements are assigned cumulatively, or in groups, to assessment (secondary) cost elements.
The original cost elements are not recorded on the receivers. Sender and receiver information (sender cost center, receiver cost
center, or business process) appears in the Controlling (CO) document.
In SSOO, assessment will be created to transfer/allocate primary costs by way of secondary cost elements from a sender Cost Center
to receiving Cost Center based on tracing factors such as Plant Capacity or Employee Numbers etc.

9.0. PROFIT CENTRE ACCOUNTING
A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into
profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as
“companies within the company”.
The main objective of Profit Center Accounting in SS Machines is to get Profit and Loss account and Balance
Sheet for each profit center in FI for analysis, reporting and consolidation purposes.
Profit Center Standard Hierarchy
The Standard Hierarchy is a profit center group or tree structure, which contains all the profit centers
in one Controlling Area. The Standard Hierarchy usually corresponds to the organizational structure
used in PCA. At the time of creation of a profit center, profit centre must be assigned to a node of the
standard hierarchy. The standard hierarchy is used in the information system, allocations and various
planning functions.
In SS Machines, standard hierarchy of the profit centers will be SSML.
Creation of Standard Hierarchy is a customizing activity. It is created in Maintain Controlling
Area Settings in PCA.
As new GL is activated, PCA need not be activated in Controlling Area.
The Standard Hierarchy can be changed in Easy Access Screen.
9.1. PCA Master Data:
There are programs in sap that allows posting of data that already exist in the pca
Data can be created manually, or imported from external systems
You can transfer selected balance sheet items to Profit Center Accounting in real time of periodically.
Data can also be accessed via the original postings from the other applications (FI, CO, SD, MM).
9.2. PCA Groups - is a statistical accounting component which takes transaction data posted in other
components and represents it from a profit-center-oriented point of view.
9.3. The integration of the SAP system makes it possible to post profit- relevant data to Profit Center
Accounting automatically as soon as the transaction is originally posted. The system either transfers the
relevant items from the original postings or creates additional postings ,
This means that you have to create accounts with the following meaning:
internal revenues
internal changes in stock
Delivery from profit center

SS Machines profit Center that will be used for Profit & Loss Accounts and Balance Sheets,will be created using the master data
from the following existing data for other SAP modules based on the data compiled from the gathered requirements and will be
assigned to the following objects: -
1. Material Master
2. Projects
3. Cost Centers4. Internal Orders
5. Maintenance Orders
6. Fixed Assets (through Cost Center)
7. Sales Orders
These assignments should be strictly followed.
Like cost centers, time based profit centers can be defined.
Time-based fields let to change information in the profit center master record, such as the person
responsible for the profit center at a specific point in time, without having to create a new profit center
and without losing any information about the previous person responsible.
Unlike cost centers, profit centers need activation after creation as they are created in inactive status.
10.0. MASTER DATA
Master data in SAP FICO is defined as general data or company code specific. Usually, this
data is unchanged for long periods of time. Other organizations such as sales, material master
organizations within SAP R/3 can access this master data. At FI level the master data consists
of G/L, Customer, Vendor, Asset and Bank information.
10.1. General Ledger Account Master Data
General Ledger Account is defined at chart of accounts and company code specific level. G/L
account master data controls the posting of accounting records to G/L accounts.
i) Chart of Accounts
Chart of Account is a variant which contains structure and basic information about general
ledger account. Controlling can use the same chart of accounts. The Chart of Accounts
contains information such as:
Language
Length of a G/L
Status of a G/L Account
ii) Company Code Specific
Company code specific data varies from company code to company. This data can be based
on the geographic location of the company.

10.2. Customer Master Data
Just like G/L accounts, Customer accounts have two segments in FI level. One segment is at
client level and the other one is at company code level.
i) General data
The general data can be accessed throughout the organization in Sap but the company code
specific data is available only for the company who wants to do business with a specific
company code. The general data is defined at client level. This data contains information such
as:
Customer name
Customer Address
Language
Contract account
General Information of SS Limited:
SS Limited Address: SS Machines, Paula House Southern Street New York
i) Company Code Specific Data
Any company code (business within the organization) that would like to do business with a
specific customer, uses this company code segment information. Accounting and sales
departments in SAP use customer master information (Company code specific data) to process
Accounts Receivable.
10.3 . Vendor Master Data
When companies use Purchasing Management, they must maintain Vender Master Data.
Vendor master data is maintained centrally just like customer master data. The information
that is maintained centrally is accurate and it can be accessed by other organizations with in
SAP. AP component contains Vendor master records to process business transactions. The
vendor master data is used in Accounting and material management organizations in SAP R/3
system. Vendor Master Data has three components.

Account information
Withholding tax information etc.,
iii) Purchase organization data
The master data is relevant to the purchase organization and distribution channels of the
company. The data includes information about:
Shipping
Billing
Storage locations
Order info etc.,
10.4 Asset master data
The asset class contains master data. Fixed assets are considered Asset class. Asset classes
are defined at client level and are assigned to at least one chart of depreciation.

Bank master data is stored centrally in the bank directory. You have to create a Bank Master
record in the system for every house bank (banks that company use are called house banks)
that company uses. One house bank and its account ID together will make-up a one main
general ledger account in Sap. And every Bank record in SAP is identified by the bank
country and bank key. Some examples of master records include, address, swift code, control
data etc.
