Interview Question on Integration of FI MM SD PP

Integration of FI MM SD PP

What is integration between FI and other modules?

In SAP FI Integration with other modules means how the system maps with different modules and how the effect of those is passed into FI Module.

SD will interact with FI, MM will interact with SD:-

Looking at MM and SD interaction first, take the scenario of a third party order process. This process uses a purchase order (which is sent to your vendor). Also invoice verification is used further along the process to check that the invoice you send to your customer is the same material and quantity as that which the vendor sends to you.

Billing is an SD function. But SAP needs to know, when processing a customer's payment, to which GL account the payment has to be processed. For instance payment of a UK based material would be placed in a different GL account to that of a non-UK based material. Furthermore, a UK based customer may have a different GL account to that of an Export customer. This is configured in Account Determination.

ABAPers are there to essential do some bespoke development. Your integration, or interaction, with them would be when specifying the tables, fields, input fields, a simple process explanation, data mapping (if doing an interface from one system to another) etc.

Link between SD and FI :-

1. Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the background. E.g. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM. Also, this movement hits some G/L account in FI. Every such movement of good s hits some G/L account.

2. The accounts posting in FI is done with reference to the billing documents (invoice, debit note, credit note etc.) created in SD. Thus this is a link between SD and FI

3. Tax determination: In case of a tax determination also, there is a direct link between SD and MM

For SAP FI-MM T-Code OBYC is used to map.

 

How do you need to have integration with SD and MM modules?

Integration with FI - MM

We are assigning transaction key to movement types, in that transaction keys assign GL account to valuation classes
( that is T-Code : OBYC)

And also we maintain valuation classes, material types, account modifiers.
