Exercise 16
Enter a Vendor Invoice with Document
Splitting
Business Example
We receive a service invoice for the inspection of two company cars. The invoice refers to two
different cost centers and thus two different profit centers. The invoice amount is EUR 1,100.
The amount includes input tax (tax code 1l) of 10 percent, that is, EUR 100. EUR 600 is
attributed to the cost center, T-CCA##, and EUR 400 to cost center T-CCB##. A master
record already exists for the car dealership (vendor number T-AC90). The invoice has the
previous day as the invoice date and was sent directly to the accounting department, without
going through logistics invoice verification. The invoice has the number 4##. The G/L account
assignment is to account 65003000 (Vehicle Costs).
Note:
In this exercise, when a value includes ##, replace the ## characters with the
number that your instructor assigned you.
1. Post the invoice from supplier T-AC90 using the Fiori app Create Incoming Invoices on the
two cost centers specified (T-CCA## and T-CCB##). Use the Z_WITH_COST_CENTER
screen variant. Use the G/L account 65003000 as an offsetting account. Enter the invoice
number in the Reference field and enter Inspection costs group ## as the text.
Note down the accounting document number.
Display the document. Choose a layout in which the Profit Center field is displayed. You
want to make sure that this document is suitable for creating financial statements at profit
center level. Call up the relevant document view.
2. Display the document. Use the option to switch between each document view. Use a
layout in which all the relevant fields are displayed. If this is not the case, choose layout /
AC_1 (Layout with Cost Center, Profit Center, Segment, Functional Area). What
distinguishes the Entry View from the Leading Ledger view?

distinguishes the Entry View from the Leading Ledger view?
a) Choose Document → Display in the menu bar.
Result: You are in the data entry view, Display Document: Data Entry View. You see the
three line items that you entered and the tax item generated automatically by the
system.
b) On the line item level, choose the layout variant /AC_1 (Layout with Cost Center, Profit
Center, Segment, Funct. Area) from the Layout Setting Global drop down list. This
layout shows that the two expense items refer to different profit centers and
segments. The vendor line item and the tax item are displayed without profit center
and segment assignment.
c) Choose the General Ledger View button to switch from the Data Entry View to the
General Ledger View of Ledger 0L.
Result: Instead of the four line items, six are displayed in the Leading Ledger view (the
ledger views are also called general ledger or split views). After the amounts in the G/L
account have been split, the amounts for the vendor payables and tax items are split in
the same way. This ensures that the balance for each profit center is zero.
Note:
To ensure that the balance sheet can also be created at profit center
and/or segment level, the balance must be zero in the document at profit
center and/or segment level. This is why document splitting is used.
When the document is posted, the system automatically splits the
document according to the Customizing settings.

Exercise 18
Create Recurring Entries
Business Example
In our rent scenario, the rent is EUR 2,000 per month (input tax is 0 percent, tax code V0) and
is due on the first of every month. The rental payments should start next month. The rental
agreement has the number 0815. It is valid for exactly one year; then the employee will return
to his or her native country. To ensure that the posting and payment of the open rent item is
carried out, the open item should be generated automatically.
Note:
In this exercise, when a value includes ##, replace the ## characters with the
number that your instructor assigned you.
1. Create a recurring entry document for the rent payable. The document should be
document type KR. Enter contract 0815 as the Reference. Use the vendor account no.
Landlord## for the landlord. Use the text edit format RENT for the item text. The
offsetting entry is made to account 63005000 (Office/Building Rent). Debit the rent to
this account. The employee works for cost center T-CCA##. Use 0001 as terms of
payment.
2. The recurring entry program must be run once a month so that actual documents are
generated from the monthly recurring entry documents.
Start the recurring entry program.
3. To assist you with the entries on the selection screen, report variant S4F10 was created.
Use this variant and replace ## with your group number in the three indicated fields. Enter
the first of the next month as the settlement period.
Caution:
It is important that you use only the recurring entry documents for your own
user, S4F10-##, so each group can carry out its own recurring entries.
Note:
Replace ## with your group number.
4. The recurring entry program generates a batch input session that must be processed so
the actual documents are posted.
Have the system process the batch input session in the foreground so you can see how
batch input processing works. The batch input session would normally be much larger

Exercise 27
Run a Foreign Currency Valuation
Business Example
Vendors abroad often create their invoices in the currency of their own country. If their
currency is not the same as the company code currency, the system treats it as a foreign
currency and translates it into local currency using a defined exchange rate.
When the financial statement is prepared, the open items in foreign currency have to be
revaluated according to country-specific requirements because the exchange rate may have
changed since the open items were created.
Note:
In this exercise, when a value includes ##, replace the ## characters with the
number that your instructor assigned you.
1. The accounting department discovers an invoice from the vendor T-AV## that has not yet
been posted. It is dated the 15th of the previous month. Fortunately, the last posting
period is still open, so the invoice can still be posted in this period before the month-end
closing is carried out. This is an invoice in USD without any tax on sales/purchases (tax
code V0).
In company code 1010, post the invoice with the number 2## (reference) for 5,000
USD on the last day of the previous month.
2. Choose the arrow icon located to the right of the Notes tab page, in order to navigate to
the Local currency tab page. Here you find the amount translated into local currency. The
latest exchange rate in the table is used for the conversion. Change the exchange rate to /
2.00000.
Note:
Only enter the following if instructed to do so. If other fields are chosen before
the exchange rate is added, the currency will become unavailable for selection.
This means the user will have to begin again.
3. Enter the G/L line item using the Z_WITH_COST_CENTER screen variant.

Create a Dunning Run
Business Example
Customer T-C## has fallen behind on payments on an open item. You want to send a
reminder to the customer about the overdue payment. Check that the correct dunning
procedure is entered in the customer master record, and create a dunning run to create and
print a dunning notice for the customer.

In this exercise, when a value includes ##, replace the ## characters with the
number that your instructor assigned you.
1. Check master records.
Check whether dunning procedure 1001 is entered in the master record of customer TC##. If not, make this entry. To ensure that the dunning notice can be printed out in the
language of your country, you have to change the language accordingly on the Address
tab page at the bottom.
2. Create a dunning run and maintain the parameters.
Today is the day on which the dunning program is to be run. Create a dunning run using
today as the run date and your group number GR## as identification. Make your entries

system is less busy. Keep updating the status until a message is displayed to tell you that
the dunning proposal has been created.
4. Clerks in accounts receivable accounting print out the dunning selection and check the
dunning proposal before the actual dunning run takes place. This helps prevent incorrect

Exercise 64
Enter a Check Deposit Transaction Manually
Business Example
Every day, your company receives many checks that need to be deposited at the house
banks. To keep the effort of entering all these checks to a minimum, your company usually
uses a check reader and imports the entered data into the SAP system using a report.
To test the functions of the check deposit transaction and to better understand it, manually
enter one check received.
This check reached the accounting department of company code 1010 with a payment advice
note. The check is from customer T-C##. The customer specifies in the payment advice note
which of their orders they wish to pay for with this check.
The accountant explains to them that the system is configured so that the order number is
always automatically entered in the Reference field on the accounting document when it is
transferred to financial accounting.
Note:
In this exercise, when a value includes ##, replace the ## characters with the
number that your instructor assigned you.
1. As preparation for the check deposit transaction, post a outgoing invoice of 3000 EUR for
customer T-C## in company code 1010. Important: Enter the order number S4F10–## in
the Reference field. Invoice and Posting date is current date minus 2 months. Use tax code
A0 (0% Output Tax non taxable). Enter G/L account 41000500 as the offsetting account.
Use the profit center T-PCA## as additional account assignment. Alternatively, enter
transaction code FB70 in the SAP Easy Access Menu command field.
2. The first time you use the check deposit transaction, you are asked to store specifications.
Proceed as follows:
Note:
If the Specifications dialog box does not automatically appear or if you want to
edit the specifications the next time you use the check deposit transaction,
then on the menu bar, select Settings → Specifications.
To indicate that you wish to assign your house banks using the house bank ID (rather than
with the bank key), select Int. bank determin.
Use variant S4F10 as the entry variant.
Use processing type 1 to have the postings created through batch input. This is always
advisable if many postings are involved, as is usually the case for your company.
