Upgrade your knowledge to learn S/4HANA, the latest version of the SAP ERP system, with its built-in intelligent technologies, including AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics.

Since the first edition of this book published as SAP ERP Financial and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management, the perspective has changed significantly as S/4HANA now comes with new features, such as FIORI (new GUI), which focuses on flexible app style development and interactivity with mobile phones. It also has a universal journal, which helps in data integration in a single location, such as centralized processing, and is faster than ECC S/3. It merges FI & CO efficiently, which enables document posting in the Controlling area setup. General Ledger Accounts (FI) and Cost Element (CO) are mapped together in a way that cost elements (both primary and secondary) are part of G/L accounts. And a mandatory setup of customer-vendor integration with business partners is included vs the earlier ECC creation with separate vendor master and customer master.

This updated edition presents new features in SAP S/4HANA, with in-depth coverage of the FI syllabus in SAP S/4HANA. A practical and hands-on approach includes scenarios with real-life examples and practical illustrations. There is no unnecessary jargon in this configuration and end-user manual.

What You Will Learn

• Configure SAP FI as a pro in S/4
• Master core aspects of Financial Accounting and Controlling
• Integrate SAP Financial with other SAP modules
• Gain a thorough hands-on experience with IMG (Implementation Guide)

Who This Book Is For

FI consultants, trainers, developers, accountants, and SAP FI support organizations will find the book an excellent reference guide. Beginners without prior FI configuration experience will find the step-by-step illustrations to be practical and great hands-on experience.
