Posting Integration Between FI and Fund Accounting (SAP Library

Posting Integration Between FI and Fund Accounting

Purpose

More effective use of fund and functional area fields is now possible when you are recording information for fund accounting purposes, since you can enter them freely in many Financial Accounting (FI) documents.

Process Flow

When you activate fund accounting and configure field status variants, the fund(s) and functional area(s) are free for input in most FI transactions. Combined with the ability to record fund and function in Asset Accounting, Controlling, and Project System, you no longer have to rely as much on hard or derived links of fund and functional area to component master data.

Note

Functional areas were previously derived through Cost of Sales Accounting features. If fund accounting is activated, you no longer need to configure Cost of Sales Accounting and the related derivation procedures.

There are some instances where the use of functional area based on the Cost of Sales Accounting features influences FI postings and these need to be considered when you are performing certain transactions. In the menu paths below, you need to select the Transfer functional area flow indicator to override the functional area derivation features and properly record any freely entered functional areas from the documents you are referencing.
