Modern management goals aim at real-time decision making, supported by the increased use of online reporting, interactive analysis, and intuitive reporting.

The figure highlights a drill down for a credit amount of $11,507.5 in January. The drill down reveals a list of line items that comprise the credit amount. 11 G/L Account Line Item Display 12 Accounting Information Line Item Display One of these items is for the value of $5,000. A further drill down of the $5,000 display the data in the original FI document the original debits and credits associated with the posting. 13 Original Accounting Document 14 Accounting Document The drilling down to the line item level is possible only if the line item display indicator is set in the general ledger account master. A financial accounting document records the impact (either debit or credit, and in which account) of a transaction step on financial accounting. A financial document consists of a header section and detail or line item section. 15 Accounting Document (-continued) The header includes data that apply to the entire document, such as document number, document type, company code, currency, and reference number. A document type is a two-digit code that identifies the specific business process that generates the document. Common used document types are: customer invoice (DR), customer payment (DZ), vendor invoices (KR), vendor payments (KZ), goods issue (WA), goods receipt (WE), and G/L document (SA). A document type determines the document number range, and the account type associated with the posting. 16 Accounting Document (-continued) The detail section typically consists of two line items, a debit item and a credit item. Each line item includes the amount (number) from the general ledger, a description of the account, an indication of whether the account is debited or credited, and the amount. The debit or credit is indicated by a posting key (shown in next slide), which is two-digit code that determines how a line item is posted. Specially it determines the account type, whether it is a debit or credit posting, and field status of additional data. Account types: Customer (D), vendor (K), asset (A), material (M), and G/L accounts (S). 17 Accounting Document (-continued) Posting Key Examples: Posting KeyDebit/CreditAccount Type 01 (invoice)DebitCustomer 15 (payment)CreditCustomer 40 (debit)DebitG/L account 50 (credit)CreditG/L account 31 (invoice)CreditVendor 25 (payment)DebitVendor 18 Financial Statements The goal of financial accounting is to report data needed to meet legal and regulatory requirements. The reporting takes the form of financial statements including Balance sheet and Income statement (profit and loss) statement. The specific accounts that need to be included in these statements are determined by the external requirements. 19 Financial Statement Financial statements can be generated for different organizational levels including one or more company codes and business areas. Financial statements are created from financial statement versions. A financial statement version is a hierarchical grouping of general ledger accounts that must be included in the financial statement. Several financial statement versions can be defined, and each is defined to meet different reporting requirements. 20 Financial Statement The balance sheet summarizes Assets, Liabilities, and Owners equity of a business at a point in time. The income statement summarizes revenues and expenses of a firm over a particular period of time. 21 Financial Statement A conceptual framework for financial analysis provides the analyst with an interlocking means for structuring the analysis. In the analysis of external financing for example, one is concerned with firms needs for funds, its financial condition/performance, and its business risk. Upon analysis of these factors, senior managers are able to determine the firms financial needs and to negotiate with outside suppliers of capital. 22 Financial Statements Balance sheet accounts include assets, liabilities, and equity. Assets = Liability + Equities Profit and loss accounts include revenue and expenses within a given period of time (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or yearly) 23 Balance Sheet Assets Things of value that a company owns or controls that accountants have agreed to measure in monetary terms. Examples of these accounts include: Cash Accounts receivables Plant and equipment Inventory January 2008 SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC All rights reserved.24 Balance Sheet Liabilities Things that a company owes or must provide services in order to settle that accountants have agreed to measure in monetary terms. Examples of these accounts include: Accounts payable Notes payable Bonds payable Unearned revenue 25 Balance Sheet Equity Equity is simply the mathematical difference between assets and liabilities. It includes the monetary amounts collected with respect to all preferred and common stock transactions, the aggregate net income reported since organization of the company, and a reduction for dividends that have been paid to stockholders.

Financial ratios can be divided into five basic types: Liquidity, leverage (debt), coverage, activity, and profitability. No one ratio is itself sufficient for realistic assessment of the financial condition and performance of a firm. With a group of ratio, reasonable judgments can be made. Comparing one company with similar companies and industry standards over time is crucial. Such a comparison uncovers leading clues in evaluating changes and trends in the firms financial condition and profitability. This comparison may be historical, but it may also include an analysis of the future based on projected financial statements. 31 Financial Ratios 32 Financial Ratios 33 Financial Ratios 34 Financial Ratios 35 Financial Ratios Financial Reports SAP Implementation Financial Reports SAP Implementation R/3 SAP Module View Integrated Solution Client / Server Open Systems Financial Accounting Controlling Fixed Assets Mgmt.

Each report can be customized by the user to meet different report requirements, by setting different report selection criteria. 40 SAP Report Painter Report Used to deliver many tabular style management reports to produce various financial statements. 41 SAP Query Used to run queries on SAP tables to return data. Before engaging in SAP Query, the user should look at the available standard reports in SAP; those reports that are based on the same tables should be able to return the same type of data the user is looking for. 42 ABAP Report ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming) is used to code SAP software and can also be used to customize reports. The downside of ABAP may not be automatically compatible with upgraded versions. 43 SAP Data Warehouse SAP Netweaver Business Intelligence (BI/BW) is SAPs own data warehousing tool One benefit of using a data warehouse is that it reduces the load on SAP ECC (ERP Central Components) system. The downside is that the data warehouse solution will be only updated overnight, then the data to be used may not be updated to the moment. 44 SAP Standard Reports Three basic steps to running a standard report: 1. Access the report (find the SAP command transaction (T) code) 2. Enter selection criteria 3. Execute the report 45 SAP Standard Reports Accounts Payable Reports Accounts Receivable Reports Asset Accounting Reports General Ledger Reports Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance Report Profitability Analysis: Plan/Actual Comparison Report Balance Sheet Profit and Loss Statements 46 Accounts Payable Reports It revolves around the reporting of invoices due for payment.
