Part I: AccountsPayable (AP)

-7




Question 1: Additional Log

What is the additional log in the AP payment program andhow can it be used for troubleshooting ?

A: The additional log is an important setting whenperforming a payment run. The amount of informationstored in the log can be selected (see below).If there are any errors with the payments run, due to eithermissing or incorrect master data settings, negativebalances due to credit memos etc, the system will reportthese in the additional log.

Support position interviews often ask this question as away of determining if you know how to troubleshoot day-to-day Accounts Payable operations.

-8




Question 2: Master Data

How can you link customer and vendor master records andwhat is the purpose of doing so ?

A: On the customer master there is a field vendor andlikewise on the vendor master there is a field customer.By entering these master data numbers, a link can becreated between the AP/AR subledgers for use in thepayment program, dunning routine and the clearing ofopen items.For example in the payment program, if a specific businesspartner is your vendor but also your customer, linking theirmaster records together will allow the open AR invoices tobe offset against the outstanding AP invoices.

-9




Question 3: Payment Terms

What are terms of payments and where are they stored ?

A: Payment terms are created in configuration anddetermine the payment due date for customer/vendorinvoices.

They are stored on the customer/vendor master record andare pulled through onto the customer/vendor invoicepostings. The due date derived via the payment can bechanged on each individual invoice if required

Question 4: Baseline Date

What is meant by a baseline date in SAP AR and AP ?

A: The baseline date is the date from which the paymentterms (specified in IMG transaction OBB) applyUsually this is the document date on the invoice but canalso be the date of entry or posting date from the ledger

-10




Question 5: One Time Vendor

What are one-time vendors ?

A: In certain industries (especially where there are a highvolume of cash transactions), it is not practical to createnew master records for every vendor trading partner.

One-time vendors allow for a dummy vendor code to beused on invoice entry and the information which isnormally stored in the vendor master (payment terms,address etc) , is keyed on the invoice itself.

-11




Question 6: AP Vendor Group

What factors should be considered when configuring anAccounts Payable Vendor Group ?

A: The following are determined by the creation of a newAP vendor group (transaction OBD3) Whether the vendors in this group are one-timevendors i.e. no master record is created but theaddress and payments details are entered againsteach invoice to this vendor Field status group which fields on the vendormaster are suppressed, optional or mandatorywhen creating vendors belonging to this group

Additionally the vendor number ranges defined intransaction XKN1 need to be assigned to your vendoraccount groups in transaction OBAS. The decisionneeds to be made whether to assign an externalnumber range (where the user chooses the masterrecord number) or an internal number range (systemassigned)

-12




Question 7: Payment Run

Name the standard stages of the SAP Payment Run.

A: The following steps are usually performed during thepayment run Entering of parameters (company codes, paymentmethods, vendor accounts etc) Proposal Scheduling the system proposes list ofinvoices to be paid Payment booking the booking of the actualpayments into the ledger

Printing of payment forms (cheques etc)Variations on the above may be found in different SAPcustomers, but the interviewer will be looking for the basissteps above.

-13




Question 8: Payment Methods

What is the purpose of payment methods and where arethey stored?

A: Generally payment methods are one digitalphanumeric identifiers that indicate the type of paymentsmade to vendors or received from customers.There are many standard delivered SAP entries for eachcountry.

For example for the UK, the following are pre-delivered:

-14




The payment methods are stored in the vendor/customermaster record as well on vendor/customer line items. (Thedefault from master record can be changed during manualpostings)

-15




Question 9: Electronic Banking

Explain briefly how you can import electronic bankstatements into SAP.

A: A text file is received from the bank which is thenuploaded into the SAP system. The file contains details ofthe companys bank movements e.g. cheques, bankinterest, bank charges, cash receipts etc. Depending on thesystem configuration SAP will attempt to book thesetransactions automatically to the correct accounts to avoidthe need for manual entries by SAP users.Any postings which the system cannot derive automaticallycan be booked through post-processing

-16




Part II: AccountsReceivable (AR)

-17




Question 10 : Residual Payments

In Accounts Receivable, whats the difference between theresidual payment and part payment methods of

allocating cash ?

A: These are the two methods for allocating partialpayments from customers.As an example, lets say invoice A123 exists for 100$ and acustomer pays 60$.

With partial payment, the 60$ simply offsets the invoiceleaving a remaining balance of 40$

With residual payment, invoice A123 is cleared for the fullvalue 100$ and a new invoice line item is booked for the

remaining balance of 40$.

-18




Question 11 : CorrespondenceTypes

What are correspondence types in AR/AP ?

A: Correspondence types are different outputs which canbe printed and sent to your business partners basedaround either customer vendor or GL information.Popular correspondence types include customerstatements, payment notices and line items lists. Withinthe most common AP/AR functions (such as Displayvendor line items below there is the option to generatecorrespondence requests. At the end of the working daythese can be printed together as a batch and sent out.

-19




Question 12: Dunning

What is dunning in SAP ?

A: Dunning is the process by which payment chasingletters are issued to customers. SAP can determine whichcustomers should receive the letters and for which overdueitems.Different letters can be printed in SAP depending on howfar overdue the payment is; from a simple reminder to alegal letter.

The dunning level on the customer master indicates whichletter has been issued to the customer.

-20




Question 13 : Reason Codes

What are reason codes used for in the AccountsReceivable module and what are the factors to be

considered in their configuration?

A: Reason codes are tags which can be assigned to explainunder/overpayments during the allocation of incomingcustomer payments. They should not be confused withvoid reason codes used when outgoing checks aregenerated.During configuration the following are determined

Whether the items booked with these reason codes areto be flagged as disputed items for the purposes of

credit management (disputed items do not increase acustomer credit exposure) The type of correspondence (if any) to be generated forthis reason code as a result of the under/over payment Whether a separate line item should be created tocharge off the payment differences to a separate G/Laccount.-21




Part III: DocumentPostings

-22




Question 14: Rate factors

What are exchange rate factors ?

A: Exchange Rate factors are the relationships betweenone currency and another to which an exchange rate isapplied.For example you may define the Indonesia Rupiah to US$factor as 10000 : 1

Combined with an exchange rate of 0.95 this would equateto 9500 IDR to 1 USD

-23




Question 15: Parking Documents

What is document parking and why is it important whenconsideration internal control procedures and segregation

of duties ?

A: Parking is a SAP term which means a posting(AP/AR/GL) can be temporarily saved (possibly withincomplete information) without hitting the affectedledger(s). A separate person can then release the posting tothe ledger when required.This is useful for example if junior staff are to initiallyenter the invoices, before their supervisor checks it andbooks it to the ledger.

Another popular use is when entering GL journals with

many hundreds of line items. The document can be part-saved allowing for completion at a later date.

-24




Question 16: Document Currency

Explain the document currency (WRBTR) and localcurrency fields (DMBTR) when posting a document in SAP

FI.

A: On the document header, the currency key is entered.If this is different from the entity currency (or localcurrency), an equivalent amount in local currency iscalculated automatically by the system and stored in thefield local currency. It is possible however to overwritethe system proposed value in this field manually.If the local amount is manually overwritten, and thedifference between the implied exchange rate is sufficientlydifferent to the rate used by the system, a warning or errormessage is displayed (depending on system configuration)

-25




Question 17: Substitution Rules

What are FI substitution rules ?

A: Defined in configuration they are similar to the FIvalidation rules above. Substitution rules allow field valuesto be replaced when certain pre-requisites conditions aremet.

-26




Question 18: Exchange RateTypes

What are exchange rate types in SAP ?

A: Exchange rate types are how SAP categorizes thedifferent sets of exchange rates in the R3 system.By default exchange rate type M is used for the rates usedto calculate local currency in the SAP system

-27




Question 19: Calculated Rate vHeader Rate

During document postings, under what circumstances

would SAP display the following warning / error message:Calculated rate deviates from document header rate byx%

A: This occurs when the exchange rate in the documentheader (either entered by the user or derived from theexchange rate table) differs by a larger amount than thatspecified as the maximum tolerance.

(The message can changed to be either an error or awarning)

-28




Question 20: Foreign Currency

When entering foreign currency FI transactions describethe various ways in which the exchange rate is derived by

SAP

A: The exchange rate can be entered via either: Directly on the document header Derived from the exchange rate table (by leavingexchange rate blank) Indirectly, by entering the explicit local currencyamount so the system is forced to use a specificexchange rateQuestion 21: FB50 vs. FB01

What is the difference between the Enjoy SAP documententry screens (e.g. FB50, FB60 etc) and the old generalposting transaction (FB01)

A: The Enjoy SAP screens were created to expedite dataentry for AP,AR and GL postings.-29




In the old FB01 screen users were required to enterdocument types and posting keys manually to determinethe nature of the postings. In the Enjoy SAP data entryscreens these are defaulted via a configuration table so the

user just has to choose debit/credit and the system willdefault the posting key. The document type is determinedbased on whether the entry is a vendor/customerinvoice/credit memo or GL journal.

Question 22: Validation Rules

What are FI validation rules ?

A: Validation rules (configured via transaction OB28)enforce certain conditions when FI postings are made.Validation rules comprise:

A prerequisite event that has to occur for thevalidation check to take place The check itself The output message that is to be displayed (you canchoose between a warning or error message)For example you may wish to ensure that users only enterGL journals with document type SA for a specific GLaccount 88510005 in company code A100. Your

prerequisite would be if the GL account = 88510005 andcompany code = A100. The check would be that thedocument type = SA and in the event of an incorrect entry

-30




the message could be Error only document type SAallowed

You can enrich validation routines using ABAP code

Question 23: Internal NumberAssignment

Explain the terms internal number assignment andexternal number assignment and the differences betweenthem ? Why is it generally not a good idea to have externalnumbering on transactions ?

A: Internal numbering means the R/3 system assigns thenext available sequential number to the master data objector transaction posting. External means the user has to

manually enter the number during the creation of themaster record or the posting of the document.Entering the document number manually on each SAPfinancial posting is a time consuming effort and causes arisk to those transactions booked via interfaces. Oftenorganizations want to do this to match source or legacysystems data with R/3. However there are plenty of textand reference fields available to store this informationwithout requiring external numbering.

-31




Part IV: GeneralLedger

-32




Question 24: Transporting TaxCodes

Explain the procedure for transporting tax codes and their

associated rates between SAP system s

A: Rather than simply attaching tax codes to a transport asper any other SAP configuration, a unique import/exportroutine needs to be followed which imports the settingsinto your productive SAP systemThe export routine can be found under within IMGtransaction FTXP via transport > tax code > export /import

The tax codes themselves have to be manually created inthe target system. You leave the tax rates blank (your basis

colleagues have to ensure your production system is openfor configuration) and run the import routine. Note thatthe tax accounts have to be maintained manually inproduction also.

This is a common interview question which can be quicklyused to test those with previous FI/CO experience.

-33




Question 25: GR/IR Clearing

Explain what is meant by GR/IR clearing

A: Goods receipts from the MM module typicallygenerate entries such as· Debit Stock, Credit GR/IR clearingThis indicates an increase in stock and a pending entry tobe cleared once the invoice from the vendor arrives.

At month end there will be a need to accrue thosepurchases received but not yet invoiced hence the reasonfor the account named Good Received / Invoice Received

Typically the balance on this account at month endindicates the value of goods received but not invoiced.

Once the invoice is received the corresponding entry isbooked.

· Credit Vendor, Debit GR/IRThese opposite entries to the GR/IR need to be clearedagainst each other. (This account is managed on an openitem basis). Using the F.19 transaction this can be doneautomatically by using the PO and line item number storedin the assignment field

-34




Question 26: Account Type Field

Explain the purpose of the account type field in the GLmaster record

A: At year end P&L accounts are cleared down to theretained earnings balance sheet account. This fieldcontains an indicator which is linked (in the IMGtransaction OB53) to the specific GL account use in thisclear down.-35




Question 27: Alternative Account

What is the alternative account field used for in the GLmaster record ?

A: Another very popular interview question. This fieldcan be used to store the old legacy systems accountnumber against the new number in SAP.A standard search help exists which will allow users tosearch for the SAP account based on the old legacy accountnumber. This is particularly useful for new SAP users whoare still getting used to the new chart of accounts.

-36




Question 28: GL Views

What is the difference between the chart of account viewand company code view when maintaining a GL account ?

A: There are two screens which have to be maintained foreach new GL account. The first is at chart of account level(transaction FSP0) and contains the information used byall company codes using this chart of accounts such asdescription, group account number etc.Each company code using this chart will then add its owncompany code view (via transaction code FSS0) whichcontains localized data specific to that entity e.g. fieldstatus group, alternative account number etc.

The chart of accounts screen must be maintained before

the local company code screens.

-37




Question 29: Sort Key

What is a sort key and what is it used for?

A: Sort keys are stored in customer, vendor and GLmaster records. They determine what value is populated inthe assignment field in the document line items posted.There are several standard entries in a pre-delivered SAPsystem and additional entries can be configured ifrequired.

A very common use for sort key 014 Purchase Ordernumber for example, is to allow the GR/IR clearing GLaccount to be cleared automatically.

For FI/CO jobs in a logistics environment this is a common

question.

-38




Question 30: Fiscal Year Variant

What are fiscal year variants and how are fiscal periodsopened and closed ?

A: Fiscal year variants (FSVs) are assigned to a companycode via transaction OBY6. They determine the financialreporting periods of an entity e.g. 13 4-weekly periods,calendar months, 5-5-4 reporting etcDuring month end the current fiscal reporting period willbe and the next month opened. Its possible to open andclose specific ledgers e.g. AP, AR, GL and even sets ofaccounts within those ledgers. This way its possible to, forexample, close all GL accounts and leave only the monthend adjustment accounts open for posting

-39




Question 31: Special Periods

What are the special periods 13,14,15,16 and what are theyused for ?

A: When you define the fiscal year variant you can chooseto define additional special periods. These can be used forexample for the posting of year end adjustments, auditorsadjustments etc.Periods 1-12 can be closed and periods 13-16 left openduring year end closing

-40




Question 32: GL Status Groups

What are GL field status groups and where are they used ?

A: Field status groups are defined in configuration andare used to determine which fields are available for postingwhen entries are booked against GL accounts.Each field can be set as optional, mandatory or suppressed.

-41




Question 33: Recurring Entries

What are recurring entries and why are they used?

A: Recurring entries (setup in FBD1 ) can eliminate theneed for the manual posting of accounting documentswhich do not change from month to month.For example, a regular rental expense document can becreated which can be scheduled for the last day of eachmonth. Usually multiple recurring entries are createdtogether and then processed as a batch at month end usingtransaction F.14

-42




Question 34: CurrencyRevaluation

Explain how foreign currency revaluation works in SAP

R/3 FI

A: Over time the local currency equivalent of foreigncurrency amounts will fluctuate according to exchange ratemovements. Usually at month end, there is a requirementto restate these amounts using the prevailing month endexchange rates.

SAP can revalue foreign currency GL account balances aswell as outstanding customer and vendor open itembalances.

In SAP configuration, you define the balance sheetadjustment account and which accounts the realizedgain/loss should be booked.

A batch input session is created to automatically post therequired adjustments.

-43




Question 35: Account Clearing

During GL account clearing how can small differences bedealt with ?

A: During configuration a tolerance limit is set whichdefines the maximum differences allowed during clearing.The differences can be automatically booked by the systemto a specific account during posting (using IMG transactionOBXZ)

-44




Part V: Controlling(CO)

-45




Question 36: Disposing Assets

Describe three ways of disposing of an asset from acompany code in SAP R/3

A: An existing asset can be scrapped (transactionABAVN), transferred to another company code (ABUMN),sold to a customer account in the accounts receivablemodule (F-92), sold with revenue but the revenue isbooked to a GL account (ABAON).Question 37: Account AssignmentModels

What are account assignment models ?

A: AAMs are blocks of document line items that can be

used repeatedly to prevent manual re-entry.Which fields are included in the AAM layout can beconfigured using O7E3

-46




Question 38: CO-PCA

In Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA) explain the processfor locking planning data

A: Using transaction S_ALR_87004395, you can lockplan data for a specific fiscal yearSelect version 0 and choose settings for profit centeraccounting.

Note the interviewer will not expect you to remember thetransaction code but will expect you to refer to versions and the fact that the plan can be locked per fiscal year andindependently of the actual data.

-47




Question 42: Operating Concern

What is an operating concern and what is its relationshipwith a controlling area in CO ?

A: The operating concern is the main organizational unitin Profitability Analysis. Its structure depends on theconfiguration setup of characteristics and value fields.It is assigned to a controlling area on a one to may basis i.e.one controlling area may be assigned to only one operatingconcern, one operating concern can be assigned to manycontrolling areas.

Question 43: Internal Orders

What are statistical internal orders?

A: Statistical real internal orders are dummy cost objectsused for analysis and reporting purposes. They must beposted to in conjunction with a real cost object such as acost center.

For example for employees we define statistical internalorders and for departments we define cost centers. Travelexpense invoices can then be booked to specific cost

-50




centers but analysis can also be done at employee level bylooking at the statistical orders.

Statistical internal orders cannot be settled.

-51




Question 44: SettlementReceivers

Name some settlement receivers for CO Internal Orders

A: Typically CO Internal Order are settled to:·Other internal orders· Fixed assets (including assets under constructions)· GL Accounts· Cost Centres-52




Question 45: Performance Issues

What are the performances issue to be in mind whenconfiguring Profitability analysis (COPA) ?

A: Sometimes COPA reporting performance is severelyaffected by poor initial setup. Anyone involved in a fullCOPA project lifecycle in a retail or manufacturingenvironment will have come across such issues hence thereason the interviewer is asking the question. The mostimportant thing-53




Question 46 : Internal OrderControls

Explain some of the controls setup during the

configuration of Internal Order Types in the CO module.

A: The following settings are made during theconfiguration of order types (transaction KOT2_OPA) Number ranges assigned to the order master oncreation Planning and budgeting profiles Status profiles

Order layouts-54




Question 47: Assessment vs.Distribution

Explain the differences between Assessment and

Distribution cost allocation cycles in the R3 CO module.

A: Its easiest to demonstrate this by way of an exampleLets say we have three cost elements with the followingamounts to be allocated:

A Electricity $2000B Water $3000C Canteen Costs $4000

With assessment cycles the system groups all three

together and summarizes the balance of 9000$ onto aseparate cost element e.g. D in order to allocate the costs toa receiving cost centre. Hence your sender cost element isD in your CO reporting and not A,B,C

With distributions the costs are allocated from the originalcost elements. Hence your senders are A,B,C.

-55




Question 49: Freeze Data

Explain how using the freeze data option in COPA canspeed up reporting performance.

A: Often companies that use COPA have extremely largevolumes of data and reports can take several minutes, evenhours, to run.The free report data option can be selected and the reportrun overnight. This way re-running the report onlineduring the working data will see huge performance benefitsas the system simply has to display stored stored and notrecalculate it on-the-fly

Questions regarding performance issues in COPA are

common. You may be asked how summarization levels canincrease reporting speed or alternatively asked to explainhow youve minimized the number of characteristics withthe same aim.

-57




Question 50: Statistical KeyFigures

What are statistical key figures in CO ?

A: SKFs are statistical (or information values) used incost allocations such as assessments and distributions.For example we may have an SKF for head count perdepartment. When utility costs are allocated acrossvarious departments we could perform the percentageallocation based on the head count SKF.

-58




Part VI: Fixed Assets(FA)

-59




Question 51: Fixed assetreconciliation

How do you take the balances onto fixed asset

reconciliation accounts during data take-on ?

A: Normally you cannot post direct to reconciliationaccounts. However there is a configuration transactionOAK5/ OAMK which can be used to temporarily removethe reconciliation flags to allow the balances to bejournaled onto the fixed asset reconciliation accounts.Note this is a very popular interview question for FI/COroles with FI-AA components.

-60




Question 52: Acquisition Costs

Name three ways of posting acquisition cost to a fixed assetmaster

A: There are many ways of booking APC to fixed assetrecords including: Via F-90 Acquisition with Vendor ABZON Acquisition with automatic offsettingentry ABZP from affiliated company From settlement of an asset under construction(AIBU) From goods receipt (or invoice receipt dependingon system setup) relating to a purchase order-61




Question 53: Sub assets

What are sub-assets and what would be a typical use forthem in the SAP environment ?

A: Sub-assets are four digit reference numbers that arelinked to the main asset number.For example, if an asset 31000050 exists for a piece ofmachinery which initially cost $100,000 a sub-asset asset0001 could be created and used to book additional cost(maybe a machinery upgrade) against the original asset.Both assets exist separately and can be reported as such ortogether.

When running the asset reports you can either run for the31000050 asset or together with the sub asset 310000500001

If you have multiple sub-assets you can report based on31000050-*

Using this approach asset components cost can be storedseparately but reported together.

Note that these sub-assets are depreciated independentlyof their main asset this is a popular interview question.

-62




Question 54: Asset UnderConstruction

What is an asset under construction

A: AuCs can be used to track investment cost duringprojects or asset assembly. Following completion theircosts can be settled to other fixed assets or to other CO costobjects such as real internal orders or cost centres.For example, the construction of a new building, thevarious costs involved (engineering, utlity cost etc) couldbe collected under an AUC, before being settled to an assetunder the buildings asset class at the end of the project.

AuCs generally are not depreciated until completion.

-63




Question 55: Evaluation Groups

What are evaluation groups on the asset master used for ?

A: Allocation groups can be used to categorize assetswhichever way the user chooses.There are 4 with four characters (configured via OAVAtransaction) and 1 with 8 characters (configured withOAV8). If you wish you can define a list of entries to bevalidated when the user populates these fields.

In customizing you can choose which of the 5 fields todisplay on the asset master record

-64




Question 56: Fixed AssetDepreciation

What cost objects can be posted to automatically when the

Fixed Asset Depreciation run is performed ?

A: In IMG transaction OAYR you can choose to allocatedepreciation cost to :·Cost centers· Internal Order· Both of the aboveThe cost centers or order used is stored on the respectiveasset master record

-65




Question 57: Smoothing andCatchup

Explain the terms smoothing and catchup with regards

fixed asset depreciation

A: This question refers to how SAP handles under/overdepreciated assets with respect to future depreciation runs.In IMG OAYR setting the smoothing flag forces the systemto calculate depreciation evenly ov er the remainingperiods in the fiscal year.

The opposite of this is with catch-up which means thesystem will correct any under/over depreciation in the nextfiscal months depreciation run.

-66




Part VI: Org Structure& Module Integration

-67




Question 58: FI Global Settings

What is the difference between company code andcompany ID when in the FI global settings in the IMG ?

A: The company code is the legal entity organization unitand the lowest level at which external financial statementsare prepared.The company id is a higher organization unit used forconsolidation in the SAP system. A single company id canhave many company codes assigned to it so long as thefiscal year variant and chart of accounts is consistent.

Question 59: Financial Statement

What is a financial statement version?

A: Financial statement versions FSVs are the structuresforming the PL and Balance sheet reports from the FImodule.Accounts are assigned to the end nodes in the reportingstructure tree. Depending on the setup debit/creditbalances can be reflected in different asset / liabilitycolumns where required

-68




Question 60: New Company Code

How do you define a new company code ?

A: Using transaction code EC01, the most straightforwardway of creating a new company code is to copy an existingvalue.

All associated data such as the fiscal year variant andassignments to controlling area and credit control area aretaken across from the source value.

Transactional data of course is not copied.

Here, interviewers are simply looking to hear the wordcopy to prove that you have defined a SAP FI/CO

organizational structure before.

Question 61: Chart of Accounts

If several chart of accounts are in use in a SAP system andthere is a requirement to merge them to a single chart, how

can this be achieved?

A: This is a little bit of a trick question. The interviewerhere is checking your knowledge of modifying an existingorganizational structure in an existing live SAP system.Generally such changes cannot be done. The only optionsare:

Using specialist SAP consultants and their own ABAPtools to perform the conversion. This is a time

consuming and expensive process Creating duplicate entities and transferring openingbalances and year to data line items across.The above applies for other such changes as modifying thelocal currency of an entity or merging several controllingareas.

You would be surprised how often interview candidatesstate you would change the settings in configuration.

Questions such as these are not designed to deliberatelysend you down a blind alley but rather they act as a quick

way to work out whether a candidate has simply dabbledaround in the FI/CO modules or whether they have a

-70




strong grasp of SAP organizational concepts in a liveenvironment

-71




Question 62: What is stored intable T001 ?

A: This is the main company code configuration table and

includes such assignments as:·Fiscal year variant· Company assignment· Local currency setting· Credit control areaQuestion 63: Company Code

What is a company code ? Describe its relationship with acontrolling area

A: A company code represents a specific legal entity forfinancial reporting purposes and represents the lowest

level at which external financial accounts can be produced.

Its the main organizational object in the FI module and isassigned to a controlling area in CO. One company codemay only be assigned to a single controlling area. (Acontrolling area may have multiple company codesassigned to it)

-72




Question 64: SD and AR

Explain briefly how the Sales and Distribution modulescreates Accounts Receivable line items for invoice postings.

A: Following the creation of a sales order, a goods issue isperformed to issue the items out of stock. This typicallygenerates the following FI entry:·Debit Cost of Sales, Credit StockOnce the invoice (billing document) has been created inthe SD module, the following entry is booked into theAccounts Receivable module

· Debit Customer, Credit RevenueUsing copy rules in SD, its possible to pass the sales ordernumber or billing document number onto the AR posting

for tracing and analysis purposes.

The above is a very basic example and can vary dependingon the system setup however if you are being interviewedfor a role with SD integration expect questions similar tothe above.

-73




Question 65: MM and AP

Explain briefly how the Materials Management modulecreates Accounts Payable line items for invoice postings.

A: Following the creation of a purchase order, a goodreceipt is booked to indicate the arrival of the stock fromthe vendor. This typically creates the following posting:·Debit Stock, Credit GR/IR clearingOnce the invoice is received from the vendor and booked inthe invoice verification module in MM, an entry is createdin the AP module

· Debit GR/IR Clearing, Credit VendorThis is the classic MM to FI data flow and can vary onsystem setup. However for positions with integration to the

logistics modules questions like this will almost inevitablypop up.

-74




Question 66: Batch Input

Explain what batch input sessions are, some examples ofwhere they are used in FI/CO and the terms background

and foreground processing.

A: Batch input sessions are batches of SAP data (eithermaster data or transactional data) generated through aninterface/report/bespoke user application.For example when creating cost elements automaticallyusing SAP transaction OKB2/OKB3 the system creates abatch session containing all the data required.

Batch input sessions are used extensively throughout theFI/CO modules including:

· Depreciation run· Recurring entries· CO reconciliation ledger· Master data creation in FI/CO· FX revaluationForeground/background refers to how the users view thedata being created by the SAP system. In foreground theuser can step through each screen during data creation andcorrect any errors as they occur. In background the systemtries to create the data for the entire batch and reportserrors following completion.

-75




Question 67: Commitment LineItems

What are commitment line items in CO ?

A: Commitment line items in CO are not actual costitems but rather committed expenditure items generatedthrough purchase orders.They are flagged with a unique value type (e.g. 21 forPurchase Requisition Commitments and type 22 forPurchase Order Commitments) in the CO tables and can bereported separately in report painter

Its also possible to post manual commitment values inorder to report non-PO related expenditure commitments.

-76




Question 68: Special PurposeLedger

When defining a new ledger in the Special Purpose ledger,

how can you retrospectively populate FI data for a previousfiscal year ?

A: Using SAP transaction GCU1, FI data can betransferred for a particular company code, fiscal year orspecific document number range.A similar transaction exists for controlling data, GCU3.

-77




Question 69: Using SpecialPurpose Ledger

What is the special purpose ledger and what would be

some reasons for using it ?

A: The SPL is a user defined ledger which can be built tosupport reporting requirements which cannot normally bemet through the usual SAP modules.

You can pull information from many SAP modules such asFI, CO, MM, SD and build user defined fields whosecontents are based on calculations from other SAPstandard information.

Typical uses include:

Reporting using an alternative fiscal year variantother than the one assigned to the entity. Reporting in a different currency (maybe to meet anew head office reporting currency) Meeting USGaap and local reporting requirements-78




Question 70: BSEG, BKPF, GLTO

Explain the purpose of the following SAP R/3 FI tables:BSEG, BKPF, GLT0

A: BKPF is the document header table. It stores all thefields common to all of the document line items such asposting date, currency key, document number etcBSEG is the associated line item table to BKPF. Specificline item information such as posting key, GL account,document amount are stored.

GLT0 is the summarized account balances table showingaccount balances by period, by account, by fiscal year.

Questions regarding tables may seem overly technical but

interviews can quickly ascertain whether a potentialcandidate has worked in a pure end user role or in a handson configuration role.

-79




Question 71: COEP, CSKA,CE1XXXX

Explain the purpose of the following SAP R/3 CO tables:

COEP, CSKA, CE1xxxx

A: COEP is the CO object line item table.CSKA is the cost element master table (dependant on chartof accounts)

CE1xxxx (where xxxx is the name of your operatingconcern) is the profitability analysis line item table.

-80




Question72 : LSMW

What is the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW)and when would you use it in your SAP FI/CO rollout ?

A: LSMW is a technical tool used for migrating masterdata and transaction data from your old legacy systems toSAP.Though usually setup by your ABAP programmingcolleagues, the LSMW projects are usually run by FI/COproject team members in order to upload vendors,customers, cost centers, internal orders etc

The interviewer is unlikely to ask any technically difficultquestions but most experienced FI/CO team members whohave been through a data migration stage will have at least

a basic understanding of LSMW.

-81




Question 73: Credit Checks

Describe some of the standard credit checks availablewithin SAP. Where does most of the credit management

information sit in the IMG ?

A: Credit management is one of the key integration areasbetween the Sales and Distribution modules (SD) andfinancial accounting (FI). Most of the configuration sits inthe SD IMG menu under Sales and Distribution > BasicFunctions > Credit Management/Risk Management >Credit Management > Define Automatic Credit ControlThe following are the standard credit checks available

Static (a simple check against customers credit

limits of the total AR open items, SD billing docsetc) Dynamic (as above but including open sales ordersnot yet delivered over a particular time period) Maximum sales order or delivery specified Critical field check (for such fields as paymentterms) Next Review Date checks the review date storedon the customer master

AR open items checks existing overdue items onthe customer account Highest dunning level specifies a max dunninglevel allowed-82




-83




Question 74: Report Painter

What is the report painter?

A: The report painter is a pre-delivered SAP reportingtool for the controlling module. It allows SAP reports to bequickly created, typically actual versus plan analysis forcost elements, internal orders and cost centers.

-84




Question 75: User Exits

What are user exits and name an example where one couldbe used in the FI/CO modules

A: User exits are SAP supplied hooks within specificprogram which allow user customizations to meet specificrequirements.When the program is run, SAP checks to see if the user hassetup any logic within these hooks.

For example in the fixed asset module lets say the gain/lossfrom disposal is normally booked to GL account 65410.During posting however you wish to book certain assetretirement transaction types to 65499 for reportingpurposes. An enhancement AINT0002 exists to do this.

User exits are commonly used also with validation andsubstitution rules.

To implement user exist you need an understanding of theABAP programming language. However for those who haveworked across several SAP projects its inevitable that atsome point they will have come across user exits at somestage even if its just at a conceptual level.
