Product

SAP ERP G.B.I. Release 6.04

MOTIVATION

The data entry requirements in the financial accounting exercises (FI 1 through FI 10) were minimized because much of the data already existed in the SAP system. This stored data, known as master data, simplifies the processing of business transactions. Examples for this were charts of accounts and G/L accounts. In this case study, we will create a vendor master record, process an invoice and create a payment.

PREREQUISITES

Before you use this case study, you should be familiar with navigation in the SAP system. In order to successfully work through this case study, it is not necessary to have finished the FI exercises (FI 1 through FI 10). However, it is recommended.
