FI Posting with F-02

It’s time to post a FI document in SAP. The system gives you the possibility of use several transactions depending on the nature of the document to post.

Today I am going to use the transaction F-02, for entering G/L Account Posting. This transaction gives you more power in the document entry and more flexibility, for example it gives the possibility of enter the posting key for each item.

The path in SAP Menu is: SAP Menu -> Accounting->Financial Accounting->General Ledger->Posting->F-02 General Posting

Once you have entered header information and items information, click on Document overview icon (landscape icon) to review or double click into information you want to change. Don’t forget, it’s a good practice, Simulate the posting before perform the save action. With Simulation you can see the lines to be generated with the post, even the automatic one to be generated.

Field Status Group

Thanks for your patient! Some weeks after my last post, today I am talking briefly about the “Field Status Group”.

The FSG determines the fields to be entered in a document during the posting process. With the proper use of the FSG you could decide the mandatory, optional or hidden fields during the process.

The screen where you are entering data will reflect exactly your decision of hide or not, set as mandatory or not, the defined process.

The path in customizing to set the FSG is:

SAP Customizing Implemantion Guide-> Entreprise Controlling->Consolidation->Intergration: Preparation for Consolidation->Preparation in the Sender System->Further Settings for Business Area Consolidations->Financial Accounting->Maintain Field Status Groups for G/L Accounts
