1) Model Company code N001 (This company code should be used only for reference

or copying purpose and not to be used for hands-on training by any of the trainees).
2) New company code needs to be created in N1xx series (xx represents sequential
number series to be followed by the trainees)
3) Since New GL accounting related settings have not been customized in your
previously created company codes, hence it is requested to create a new company code
and not to use the previously created company codes. Also creation and practice in new
company code will provide you a clear comparison of classic GL Vs New GL related
activities.
4) In the below steps,
If customization is mentioned, then that particular step needs to be configured by the
trainees.
If Reference is mentioned, then that particular step is only for reference and not to
change any customization settings.
If Front end is mentioned, then that particular step needs to be created by the trainees.
Hands on training on the following processes:
1) FI level basic organization related customization
2) CO level basic organization related customization
3) Real time integration of CO with FI
4) Document Splitting
5) Parallel Ledger accounting
6) Segmental reporting Report extraction
7) New GL Assessment (Allocation)
8) Report Painter

1) FI LEVEL BASIC CONFIGURATION:

Step 1: Customization - Creation of New Company code (with the copy of existing New
GL accounting company code N001)

New Company code

N1xx (xx represents
two digit sequence
number)

Existing
company code
N001 (Copy
this company
code for
creating a new
Company code)

Customization Path

Steps

SPRO -> Enterprise

structure -> Definition
-> Financial accounting
-> Edit, copy, delete,
check company code ->
Copy, delete, check
company code

Click Organizational
object menu and
click copy org
object. Enter from
Co code as N001
and To company
code as N1XX
series
1) Copy the GL
account - Yes
2) Different local
currency - No

Note: Since the new company code is a copy of N001 company code, all the FI related
configurations like Fiscal year variant, Field status variant, Posting period variant, Chart
of accounts and its related GL accounts will be copied, thereby reducing time in
customizing these settings again.
Step 2: Reference Check in Financial accounting global settings
Customization Path
SPRO -> Financial accounting (New) ->
Financial accounting global settings (New) ->
Global parameters for company code -> Enter
Global parameters

To be noted
Chart of Accounts, Fiscal year variant,
Posting period variant and Field status
variant.
(Ensure not to change any of the
settings)

Step 3: Customization Copy document number range from N001 company code to
your respective company code in N1xx series:
Customization Path
SPRO -> Financial accounting (New) ->
Financial accounting global settings (New) ->
Document -> Document number ranges ->
Documents in Entry view -> Copy to Company
code

Steps
Enter number range from range 01 to
ZZ,
Fiscal year 2008 and 2009,
Source company code N001 and
Target company code N1xx (your
company code)

2) CO LEVEL BASIC CONFIGURATION:

Step 1: Customization Assignment of your company code to the existing N001
Controlling Area.

Customization Path

Steps

SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling ->

Organization -> Maintain Controlling Area ->
Maintain controlling area

Select N001 company code and click

assignment of company codes tab on
the left side and click new entries and
update your N1xx company code and
Save.

Note: Since you are assigning your company to the existing N001 Controlling area, all
customization related like CO number range, Profit center related settings will be
automatically applicable to your company code as well, thereby reducing time in
customization these settings.
Step 2: Front end Creation of two cost centers for hands on training on transaction
level entries.
Front end Path

Steps

SAP Easy access -> Controlling -> Cost center

accounting -> Master data -> Cost center ->
Individual processing -> KS01 change

Use two reference cost centers from

N001 controlling (example N0011001
and N0011002) and create in N1xx1001
series and N1xx1002 series and change
the company code to your N1xx
company code.

3) REAL TIME INTEGRATION OF CO WITH FI:

Step 1: Reference Define variants for Real time integration
Customization Path

To be noted

SPRO -> Financial accounting (New) ->

Financial accounting global settings (New) ->
Ledgers -> Real-time integration of controlling
with financial accounting -> Define variants for
real-time integration

Variant for Real time integration

COFI has already been created.
Please note down for your reference the
activated date, real time integration
checkbox, account determination active
status, document type, ledger
assignment and Use checkboxes and its
related selections

Step 2: Reference Assignment of Variant to your company code

Customization Path

To be noted

SPRO -> Financial accounting (New) ->

Financial accounting global settings (New) ->
Ledgers -> Real-time integration of controlling
with financial accounting -> Assign variants for
real-time integration

Since you have copied the N001

company during company code
creation, hence your company code also
will be assigned to COFI variant by
default.

Step 3: Front end Activation of Real time integration User wise activation
Front end Path / Transaction code

Steps

Transaction code FAGLCOFITRACEADMIN

Click Activate Trace and it will show a

message - Real time integration with FI
was activated. Once it is activated, it
will trace the CO->FI related integrated
postings and the relevant details user
wise.

B) Manual reposting of entry in CO from one cost center to another cost center.
Front end Path / Transaction code

Steps

SAP Easy access -> Controlling -> Cost Enter cost center (old), cost element and amount
center accounting -> Actual postings -> used in the above journal entry and enter the
Manual reposting of costs -> KB11N
second cost center in cost center (new). Save.

document type, hence 54*** series document number) in FB03 transaction code and
view its accounting entry.

Front end Path / Transaction code

To be noted

SAP Easy access -> Accounting ->

Note the Debit and credit entry GL account and
Financial accounting -> General Ledger its relevant CO assignment (It will be posted to

SPRO -> Financial accounting (New)

-> General Ledger accounting ->
Business Transactions -> Document
splitting -> Activate document splitting

Check the second tab on the left side

Deactivation per company code and ensure
Inactive status checkbox should not be ticked.
Since your company code has been copied from
N001 company code, its already been in active
(i.e., Inactive checkbox not selected) by default.

Step 3: Front end Exercise.

A) Copy Vendor from N001 company code and create it in your company code
Front end Path / Transaction code
SAP Easy access -> Accounting ->
Financial accounting -> Accounts
payable -> Master records -> FK01
create

Depreciation N001. (Ensure not to change
this setting)

Step 2: Customization Specify number assignment across company codes

Customization Path
SPRO -> Asset accounting ->
Organizational structures -> Specify
number assignment across company
codes

number - Example for N001, its number
assignment is N001. Similarly for your N1xx
company code, mention the same number
assignment as N1xx equivalent to your
company code.
