Overview of SAP Modules and Finance Terminology<\/a>
\nThe finance area\u00a0is composed of\u00a0four different modules, each serving in support and operational roles within various processes and each carrying out many different responsibilities under the financial umbrella. This affects the Business Warehouse because the data contained in a single report may be drawn from one or more modules, each of which uses terminology that may be different from other finance modules. This document briefly describes the four modules – Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling and Project Systems (CO\/ PS), Funds Management (FM) and Grants Management (GM). The document also highlights synonymous terms drawn from different modules.<\/p>\n

Useful SAP Account Numbers and Doc Types<\/a>
\nMany of the account numbers used in BUworks are structured in way such that information can be gleaned simply by examining the account number digits. This document describes how to learn more about General Ledger account numbers, Purchase Order numbers, Grant or Internal Order numbers, etc., simply by paying attention to the leading digits of the numbers.<\/p>\n

How to View Increased Detail in an FM Report<\/a>
\nFunds Management reports in the Business Warehouse provide three levels of detail. Here are the levels, in the order of increasing detail: (1) summary information by Funds Center, (2) a breakout of revenue and expense data by General Ledger Account \/ Commitment Item, and (3) line item detail-level. A new capability provides a fourth level of detail to the Transaction Detail reports: the ability to drill from the Business Warehouse directly to the FB03<\/strong> WebGUI transaction. This Help Guide describes the process of drilling (navigating) from a BW report to FB03<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
