Beverly Hills, CA (prHWY.com) February 13, 2013 - The Financial Accounting module in SAP is created to portray a company's business transactions in a way such that it satisfies external reporting requirements. The system has the facility to track and report on multiple companies across countries with different currencies. The software also enables an integration with sales and distribution, materials management and purchasing and enables the user to drill down to the original transaction, be it a sales order a purchase order or the movement of materials.

SAP FI, the Financials module is believed to be the central point of an integrated SAP system because everything that has a financial impact in the other modules actually results in flowing to FI, automatically in real time. The financial impact of the transactions in other modules gets posted to FI. Hence it is important to configure the FI/CO system as soon as possible, as this will be the supporting skeletal framework of the entire system as a whole.

The SAP FI module includes the following sub-modules:

General Ledger (FI-GL)
Accounts Payable (FI-AP)
Accounts Receivable (FI-AR)
Bank Accounting (FI-BL)
Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
Funds Management (FI-FM)
Travel Management (FI-TV)
