Funds Management – FM
FM Area
A Funds Management Area in ECC is the organizational unit within
an institution, used to represent a closed system for funds
management, budgeting, and budget execution. A Funds
Management Area may include one or more company codes and
one or more controlling areas.
The Funds Management Area also contains attributes or settings
that impact master data and/or transactions within the FM Area.

Controlling – CO
CO Area
A controlling area in ECC is the organizational unit within an
institution, used to represent a closed system for managerial
accounting purposes. A controlling area may include one or more
company codes, which must use the same operative chart of
accounts as the controlling area.
The Controlling Area also contains attributes or settings that impact
master data and/or transactions within the CO Area.

Financial Accounting – FI
Company Code
Represents the highest level at which common master data, including
chart of accounts, vendors, and customers, will be assigned
Company codes are balanced in the general ledger; however, this
balancing is done using inter-company clearing transactions (considered
cash-type clearing postings, even if the transactions are non-cash
items). This means that a true balance sheet cannot be attained if a
company code is managing receivables or payables on behalf of
another company code. Even the split processor will not split
transactions by company code. For many reasons the use of one
company code is recommended.

Financial Accounting - FI
Chart of Accounts
The Chart of Accounts is a collection of general ledger
accounts. Each company code is assigned to a chart of

chart of accounts.

Logistics
Plant
An organizational unit serving to subdivide an enterprise according to
production, procurement, maintenance, and materials planning aspects.
It is a place where either materials are produced or goods and services
provided.
The business area that is responsible for a plant is determined as a
function of the division. As a rule, a valuation area corresponds to a
plant (e.g., Valuated Inventories are maintained at the Plant level!)
A plant can be subdivided into storage locations, allowing stocks of
materials to be broken down according to predefined criteria (for
example, location and material planning aspects).
A plant can be subdivided into locations and operational areas.
Subdivision into locations takes geographical criteria into account,
whereas subdivision into operational areas reflects responsibilities for
maintenance.

Storage Location
An organizational unit facilitating differentiation between the various
stocks of a material within a plant.
A storage location is the place where stock is physically kept within a
plant.
A storage location has the following attributes:
There may be one or more storage locations within a plant.
A storage location has a description and at least one address.
It is possible to store material data specific to a storage location.
Physical inventories are carried out at storage location level.
Storage locations are always created for a plant.
