SAP-based financial accounting

This training is held in German.
Financial accounting in SAP, whether in classic SAP ERP or S/4HANA, is at the heart of integrative business processes. Learn about the importance of master data, whether G/L accounts, customers, vendors or business partners in S/4HANA. Experience postings in financial accounting, but also from integrated applications such as assets, purchasing and sales. See how financial accounting interacts with cost accounting. Countless evaluations, whether it's the analysis of provisions or the presentation of business areas, enable targeted analyses of the data. A comparative look at the processes in classic SAP and S/4HANA shows: The tried and tested remains, new things are added. The chart of accounts and ledger are also highlighted, as is the optional new interface "the Launchpad" with analytical and graphical functions as well as familiar applications in a new design.
