This training is held in German.
Financial accounting in SAP—whether in classic SAP ERP or S/4HANA—is at the heart of integrated business processes. Using SAP S/4HANA Private/On-Prem, you’ll learn about the importance of master data, including general ledger accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and business partners in S/4HANA. The implementation of business requirements and processes in financial reporting is explained both in classic ERP using the SAP GUI and transactions, as well as in S/4HANA Private/on-prem using Launchpad and apps. The alternative use of S/4HANA Public is highlighted where differences exist compared to the “Private” version. You’ll gain hands-on experience with postings in Financial Accounting, as well as from integrated applications such as Asset Management, Purchasing, and Sales, and learn how Financial Accounting interacts with Cost Accounting. Countless reports—whether provision schedules or business segment overviews—enable targeted data analysis. A comparative look at the processes in classic SAP and S/4HANA shows that tried-and-true features remain, while new ones are added. The chart of accounts and ledgers are covered, as is the optional new interface, “Launchpad,” with its analytical and graphical functions, along with familiar applications in a new design.
