This series of documents for FISD integration is divided into 4 parts. This document is the second part of the series. Adding links for other parts before I start with the content. Even though the document title says FISD Integration I, it is the second part because part I was the prerequisites required for the integration. PartI : Prerequisites for FISD Integration PartIII : FISD Integration II PartIV : FISD Integration III

Automatic Account Determination The accounting entries with respect to the billing will generally result in Debit Customer account Debit Freightout account Credit Revenue account Credit Excise Duty Payable account Credit Sales Tax Payable account

Hence, primarily, one side of the account is a Customer and the other is a revenue account. The customer account gets picked up from the customer master data and the revenue account is configured based on certain inputs so that correct account is hit during FI posting. This automatic account determination is configured not only for revenue, but also, other elements like Freight, surcharges, sales deductions etc. The account determination can be done to be based on the following criteria: Application Condition Type Chart of Accounts of Company Code Sales Organization Customer Account Assignment Group Material Account Assignment Group Account Key

Note: The above mentioned fields are standard fields included by default. More fields can be added as criteria.

Configuration Steps The configuration steps required for this activity can be found by following path SPRO > IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Account Assignment/Costing > Revenue Account Determination

As seen in the screen shot above, there are 6 configuration steps.

Check Master Data Relevant For Account Assignment The first step is setting up the master data relevant for account assignment. The menu path is SPRO > IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Account Assignment/Costing > Revenue Account Determination > Check Master Data Relevant For Account Assignment

There are two activities to be done in this step – material account assignment groups and customer account assignment groups. The first activity is material account assignment groups maintenance. From the screen, double click on Materials: Account Assignment Groups. The screen for maintaining material groups will appear.

Use the New Entries button to create new groups. There are different material groups created as in the screen above which ensures that, for example, all the trading goods (Group 01) can be posted to different accounts than that of all the services (Group 20). As already seen before, these material groups are assigned to materials in the view Sales: Sales Org. Data 2 of the material master. The system automatically proposes the account assignment group for the material in the Sales documents from the material master. The second activity in this step is customer account assignment groups maintenance. From the screen, double click on Customers: Account Assignment Groups. The screen for maintaining customer groups will appear.


2/17

09/12/2015


Use the New Entries button to create new groups. There are different customer groups created as in the screen above which ensures that, for example, all the domestic revenues (Group 01) can be posted to different accounts than that of all the foreign revenues (Group 02) or the affiliated companies’ revenue (Group 03). As already seen before, these customer groups are assigned to customers in the tab Billing Documents of the Sales Area data in the customer master. The system automatically proposes the account assignment group for the customer in the Sales or Billing documents from the customer master.

Define Dependencies of Revenue Account Determination

The next step is defining the dependencies for revenue account determination – defining fields as well as condition tables. The menu path is SPRO > IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Account Assignment/Costing > Revenue Account Determination > Define Dependencies Of Revenue Account Determination As already mentioned, the purpose of setting up account determination is to be able to differentiate accounts for posting according to certain criteria like customer account assignment group, account key, material account assignment group etc. Hence, the first activity here in this step is to decide which all criteria will be used for such differentiation. The field catalog contains fields that can be selected when we create or maintain a condition Table. These decided criteria are to be added by double clicking on the Field Catalog: Allowed fields for the tables option.

As seen in the screen shot above, the some of the required criteria are already present. If new ones are to be added, click on new entries and press F4. A list of all the fields in the tables that can be added as criteria is listed as shown below.


3/17

09/12/2015


As shown above, if we want to add Payment cards: Card type as a criteria, double click on the entry and then press save. As seen below, this criterion has been added to the already existing list of criteria.

Once the fields have been selected, these fields have to be added to condition tables. There can be many tables, each with different combination of criteria that will be used for account determination. The existing tables can be displayed using Account Determination: Display Tables option.

Enter the table number for which we need to see the table details and press enter.


4/17

09/12/2015


As seen in the screen above, table 9 uses Sales Organization, Distribution Channel and Division as criteria for account determination. The left pane shows the fields selected as criteria for this table and the right pane shows the field catalog i.e. the fields available from which the criteria can be added to the table. The system already contains standard tables like the one shown above. Most of the times, these standard condition tables are sufficient. However, we can also create custom condition tables for specific requirements. These custom tables can range from 501 to 999. Some of the standard tables are Table 001 Customer group/ Material group/ Accounting key Table 002 Customer group/ Accounting key Table 003 Material group/ Accounting key Table 004 General Table 005 Accounting key

To create a new table, double click on Account Determination: Create Tables option. Here, a custom table 501 is being created with the Payment Card type field as criterion.

Enter table number 501 and press enter. If the table is to be copied from another existing condition table we can enter the existing table number in the field below the new table number. Select the field payment card type and choose the Select field button.


5/17

09/12/2015


As seen, now this field has been added to the table as criterion as it can be seen in the left pane. The description of the table can be changed using the highlighted button in the screen shot. Add all the required fields and press save. The new condition table has been created.

Note : The Field Catalog table is crossclient. Therefore, any changes done to this table will have effects in all clients on a server.

Define Access Sequences and Account Determination Types

The next step is defining account determination types and access sequences. The menu path is SPRO > IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Account Assignment/Costing > Revenue Account Determination > Define Access Sequences And Account Determination Types The first activity, Maintain access sequences for account determination is used to setup access sequences. Access sequences store information about which condition tables will be accessed for account determination, the sequence in which these tables will be accessed and the field contents of these condition tables. Double click on the option.


6/17

09/12/2015


As seen, there are two standard access sequences defined in the system – KOFI and KOFR. To create new access sequences use the new entries button. To view an already existing one, click on the entry and double click on the Accesses folder as highlighted on the left hand side.

The above screen shows the condition tables and the sequence in which they are accessed in the access sequence KOFI. The No. column gives the order in which the tables are accessed i.e. the one with the lowest number is accessed first. As shown in the above screen shot, system will access table 953 first during determination procedure as that is first in sequence. If system is able to find out necessary information in this table it will not access table 496 but otherwise it will access table 496 next. Usually, the sequencing of the tables is configured such that, the more specific tables are accessed first for the information and then the less specific ones follow. The Tab column contains the condition table number and the Description field contains the table description. To see the fields contained in the condition table, click on the respective row and double click on the Fields folder as highlighted on the left hand side. To add new tables to the access sequence use the new entries button, enter the values in the No. and Tab column and save.

The screen shot above shows the fields in table 496 – Condition Type/Account Key.


7/17

09/12/2015


The screen shot above shows that the table 501 – Payment Card Type has been added to access sequence KOFI. As seen, there is a column called Requirement. A requirement, simply put, is a routine or a small program, which one can specify as a precondition to decide that the access sequence is to be activated if that condition fulfilled. Say, for instance, an access is applicable only for export business, then, a requirement, say 8 is used. This requirement number checks if the order is of export business. If yes, then only the access is read. Otherwise it is not. So, it saves a lot of time for the system, improving the response time. The requirements for the various application areas such as pricing, material determination, account determination etc. are maintained using transaction code VOFM. Once the created, they can be assigned as required to access sequence's / pricing procedures, etc. Note : The Access Sequences table is crossclient. Therefore, any changes done to access sequences will have effects in all clients on a server. The second activity in this step is Define account determination types. The account determination type is used for defining the control data for access sequence and the validity date. Double click on this option from the menu.

As seen in the screen shot, in this step, condition types are defined and then access sequences assigned to them. It is to be noted that these condition types are different from the condition types used in pricing procedures as discussed in the prerequisites section. These condition types are used in account determination procedure. There are two standard condition types in the system – KOFI (for account determination without CO) and KOFK (for account determination with CO). Note : Custom condition types and access sequences can be defined, but, it is recommended that these start with Z.

David Elvira 29Nov2013 15:58

Good document In my company I've tried to avoid complication, so we have only 3 tables of conditions with different degrees of columns on it. I try to add as much as possible on the global tables and only use the precise ones for precise cases. However, I've seen a lot of companies where all the customizing is on the precise tables. That means that when creating a global condition, you need you modify a lot of rows wich is time consuming and source of errors. So, keep it simple. Like (1)

Joshua Muthyala 05Mar2014 15:26

Hello, Thank you for the brilliant explanation. I followed everything until the last part, Where KOFI, KOFK comes into picture. I do understand the purpose of these condition types, but I am very confused with the way these are mapped to SD condition Types. I thought, the SD Pricing Prcodure + condition types is mapped to Account Key, which in turn is mapped to the G/L account. So how does KOFI/ KoFK come into picture. Does it mean that, this is a secondary segregation once the flow reaches FI? SD Pricing Procedure + condition Type mapped to Account Key. Account Key + sales org + KOFI or KOFK determines the final G/L account Is this line of thought correct? Any help is appreciated. Thank you Regards, Joshua Like (0)

David Elvira 05Mar2014 16:09 (in response to Joshua Muthyala)

Hello KOFI / KOFK allows the determination of the P/L account and Provision account associated to a conbination of several parameters. These parameters can be the account key, the sales org, char of accounts, etc. KOFI means FI Account determination and KOFK CO account determination. These "condition types" are only used to determine the parameters used on VKOA transaction. These parameters help determing the GL account with more or less complexity. KOFI/KOFK have nothing to do with the condition types like PR00 used on the document itself to determine prices. David Like (1)

Joshua Muthyala 05Mar2014 16:28 (in response to David Elvira)

Dear David, Thank you for your reply. Basically, I am trying to determine the concept associates with SD Flow in to FI. Or rather, what is the basis on which an SD Transaction flows, eventually to a G/L account. What I understand is that, the pricing procedure and SD condition Type, determine the Account Key. This account key in turn is ONE of the many parameters, that along with KOFI/ KOFK, lead to the eventual G/L Account. Is this right? Regards, Joshua Like (0)

Hi Sowmya, Your blog gives a very good idea on FISD integration. However I feel some continuity is missing on Pricing procedure to billing !! Accounting Key specified in condition type linked to Pricing procedure (here I am not understanding clearly, what happens after Pricing procedure? by searching in the web i read in some posts, as Pricing procedure will be assigned to Billing doc type, customer, Sales Org)... Can you please give some detail on this in your way of explanation (hope that goes a easy understanding), how pricing procedure is determined by system when billing document is processed PS: I thought to post this in the discussions, but i felt its close to your blog post so posting here Thanks, Bose Like (0)
