Notions of collective and auxiliary accounts
• Auxiliary Accounts
– Inthe ERP, the operations recorded in the FI-GL module
(general accounting) are directly charged to the accounts
generals
– On the other hand, when they need to be recorded in the modules of
auxiliary accounts (supplier accounting FI-AP, accounting
client FI-AR...), operations cannot be directly charged
on the general accounts but must necessarily be charged to the
auxiliary accounts of third parties (suppliers, clients)
– Each third party is linked in the ERP to a general accounting account.
this "collective account" and only one, the accounting event occurring
a third party is charged in real time in general accounting on the
general collective account corresponding to this third party
• Example
– in auxiliary accounting Suppliers: collective account = 401…
– in auxiliary accounting Clients: collective customer accounts = 41...

Supplier Settlement - Presentation
• As part of a SAP project, disbursement is done in two ways:
Through the automatic payment program for transfers and direct debits,
Through manual disbursement, a mode used exceptionally to settle and clear an
supplier (without using settlement campaigns).
• The operating principle of the payment program is represented in the diagram.

Cost Center Concept
TheCost centers are cost collectors that represent in principle the sections.
of companies (Services, departments, etc.) or budget centers
There are two types of cost centers:
The so-called cost centers operational corresponds to the smallest organizational structure
of the company; they are clearly linked to a budget manager
The so-called cost centers techniques are used for technical operations
Main characteristics of cost centers
They regroup in a main and exhaustive hierarchy calledStandard Hierarchy
They aretypes: the type of a cost center allows or not allows certain operations
(Activity entries, updating commitments...)
Cost centers are necessarily assigned to a company and possibly to a
business area, a profit center or even a functional area
At the end of the month, the charges incurred by cost centerscan be distributed over
other cost centers or on other CO objects (but not on profit centers)
Concept of Internal Orders
Theinternal orders are cost fine collectors that represent in principle projects or
internal work within the company that is more ephemeral than cost centers.
– Examples: research projects, IT projects, fixed assets in progress, analytical subscription orders of
certain charges, etc. In some cases, internal orders can be analyzed to represent other notions.
(a vehicle, a production tool, ...)

Main characteristics of internal orders


Internal orders have astatut(créé, lancé, clôture technique, clôture comptable, …)
There exists atypology of orders; the type of an order allows or does not allow certain operations,
numbering it, displaying the areas necessary for its description, etc.
Some orders are saidstatistics; they cannot be used as the sole basis for attribution. They
are used to detail the costs allocated to another cost object (company car for example). The orders
statistics cannot be spilled.
Internal orders can be assigned to a company, a business sector, a profit center, or even a
functional domain.
At the end of the month, thereal internal orders can 'spill over' onto other internal orders or onto
other CO objects (but not on profit centers)
Notion of statistical ratios
• Statistical ratios are mainly used as distribution keys (excluding %) of
costs (in the budget as in reality).
They can be:
of typeTotals: the entered value is added to the previous ones (telephone units, CPU time)
-of type"Constant": the entered value cancels and replaces the previous one (effective, m²)
Example: distribution of phone expenses pro rata according to the number of phones per service

General introduction to CO operations
For analytical operations (cost allocations, ...), SAP distinguishes
the cost object emitter (which is credited) and the cost object receiver (which is

Cost distributions are recorded in SAP using a

Focus on the entry of primary / actual writings
The actual writings come from several sources:
–General and auxiliary accounting (FI module):
•Entries recorded directly in the FI module, whether manually or
by interface (for example: the payment interface)
–The accounting of fixed assets (module AA):
Accounting documents generated by the calculation and accounting program
depreciation allowances
Purchase accounting (MM module)
Accounting documents generated by receipts or invoices related to
purchase orders
Every FI charge entry generates a CO posting flow on a cost driver.
(cost center, internal order, OTP element, manufacturing order) through a
primary accounting nature
The cost allocation support is indicated when posting the FI entry.

TheSecondary writings are the internal writings of CO. They are carried out
with secondary accounting natures and are used in the context of:

Attributions of orders and EOTP (at period end)

Budget - A few definitions to begin with
It is possible to assign a budget profile according to the user's responsibilities. Concerning the
manual cost budgeting, SAP provides a number of standard planning profiles
covering the majority of business needs.
• The budget profile allows, through budget schemes, to:
Define multiple columns of codes or values
Show the characteristics in the header
Display for information comparison columns that are not accessible (previous fiscal year values, values
real, another version)
Modify the width of the columns
Example of a budgeting screen (summary screen):
Exercise: 2007
Period from: 1 to 12
Cost center: 2300 Production
Type of activity
Accounting nature
Fixed costs
12,000
Rep key. Variable costs Rep key.
001 4000 002
Hours
606100
These planner profiles can be freely defined according to the specific needs of a company.
The budgeting profile is protected by authorization objects. It allows each user to only have access to
the input screen that he actually needs
Budget – Budgeting Principles
• It is possible to establish budgets on the following scale:
Accounting nature or groups of accounting nature
Profit centers
Cost centers
• Internal orders
OTP Elements
Regarding the budget on cost centers, it is possible to create, for example:
a budget of costs and products by nature and by month
an annual budget for service provision in quantity and selling price
annual budgeted values of statistical ratios
Concerning the budget on internal order:
a budget of costs and products by nature and by year (then monthly divided by twelve)
Regarding the budget of profit centers:
a budget by nature and by month
Budget - A few definitions to start
• A pre-budgeting template corresponds to a budgeting template that includes:
A selection screen and an input screen
The budgeting schemes are then linked to budgeting profiles, which
themselves are assigned to users
Budgeting profiles are by default linked to SAP users.
• Budget version: It is possible in SAP to manage multiple budget versions in
parallel
Budget - Budgeting Principles
• Copy functions:As a general rule, budgeting is based on existing budgets.
It is possible to copy part or all of the budgeting done in previous periods or else
other versions.
The selection criteria proposed during the copy are:
The analytical scope
The accounting exercise
The period
The budget version
The cost center
The budgeting transaction (direct costs dependent on activity)
It is possible to modify the budget manually or automatically by revaluation
• Monthly payment functions according to freely defined keys
• Automatic integration with HR, AM, and PP
It is possible to enter the budget
– Manually
– By integrating one or more Excel files
