Apps for FI-A/R & FI-A/P The book starts with a case study that forms the basis for further discussions across the various Chapters. The case study mirrors a real life business enterprise that wants to implement SAP Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable components, as a part of configuring SAP FI. The book provides an overview of SAP Accounts Receivable (FI-A/R) and Accounts Payable (FI-A/P). It, then, goes on to discuss customer and vendor accounts, in detail. It outlines the structure of customer / vendor master records, and elaborates the preparations and the configuration settings that you may need to make in the system to create / change / delete the master records. It discusses the various business transactions of both FI-A/R and FI-A/P viz., incoming invoices / credit memos, release for payment, outgoing payments, outgoing invoices / credit memos, incoming payments, payments with payment cards, dunning, open item clearing, down payment received / made, adjustment posting / reversal, interest calculation, closing, information system and Apps for SAP FI-A/R and FI-A/P. It helps you to comprehend the configuration activities that you need to complete, in setting up these transactions in the system. For example, on configuring the settings for outgoing payments, it discusses (in detail) the global settings and the steps that are required for setting up the manual and the automatic payments. In dunning, it deals with basic settings, dunning procedure, printout, dunning process flow etc. In interest calculation, it starts with the fields (in customer / vendor master) that are relevant for item interest calculation and goes on to discuss the interest calculation process, global settings, actual interest calculation, interest posting and interest letters. In closing, it discusses the important closing operations like count (including balance confirmation), valuate and reclassify, in great detail. The book also discusses the FI-A/R and FI-A/P information system besides discussing the Apps for accounts receivable / accounts payable accountants, managers and credit controllers. As with my other books on SAP, this also follows a case-study approach to make your learning easy. Every effort has been taken to guide you, step-by-step, in configuring your SAP system in implementing SAP Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, in SAP S/4HANA (1909), to meet your exact business needs. Each configuration activity has been discussed with appropriate screen shots (from an SAP system) and illustrations to help you 'see' what is being discussed in that activity / step. You will see a lot of additional information, provided across the Chapters and the Sections, to help you understand better a topic or a setting or a concept. The entire content of the book, vide various Chapters, has been presented as in SAP IMG (Implementation Guide) for easy comprehension. You will come across with appropriate menu paths and Transactions, to help you to navigate the various configuration activities. In all, you can use this book as a desktop-reference for configuring SAP FI-A/R and FI-A/P.
