1 General information about the scenario


This document defines an overall framework of General Ledger Accounting implementation in SAP for
H-pack packaging industries LLC. It highlights business objectives and benefits expected to be
achieved with this implementation. This document covers all major business processes in the general
ledger module as described in the scope document awarded for implementation.

1.1 Background
H-pack packaging industry LLC undertakes manufacturing, marketing and distribution of different
varieties of food packaging materials and related products. They manufacture high quality disposable
packaging materials and related materials, paper and protection and hygiene products through its
different manufacturing facilities in UK. Managed by a team of highly qualified and experienced
professionals, it has adopted policies for developing and enriching the potential of each of its
employees who serves the business. With a view to further expand operations and also to adopt
world class business practices, the management has decided to implement S/4 HANA ERP product
from SAP and they would like to derive the maximum benefits out of it.

H-pack plans to implement the following modules available in SAP S/4 HANA ERP:-

FI Financial Accounting
CO Controlling
SD Sales and Distribution
PP Production Planning & Controlling
MM Materials Management
HR Human Resources

1.2 Enterprise Resource Planning Objectives


Objectives:-

 To implement SAP S/4 HANA standard business processes, adhere to business basics and use
SAP as a model for best business practices.

2 General Requirements / Expectations

H-pack expects the general ledger module in SAP to be a comprehensive financial management
solution that dramatically enhances financials controls, data collection, information access and
financial reporting through the organization. It should be the central repository of all the accounting
information of the organization. The module shall provide specific functions of passing journal entries
(Manual, Provisional, Recurring and Reversal Journals) and its subsequent postings.
General ledger should serve as a complete record of all business transactions of a client. It should be
possible to check actual individual transactions at any time in by displaying the original documents,
line items, and transaction figures at various levels such as:
 Transaction Information
 Journal
 General Ledger – Line Item
 Trial Balance / Account Balance
 Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet evaluations
Apart from the above, it should also serve the following purposes:-
 Compliance – Statutory & Legal requirements
 Periodic financials for different purposes
 Facilitate GL account wise planning and generation of cash flow reports
 Integration with other modules
 Internal controls and audit of information systems
 Eliminate data redundancy
 Automation of transactions to improve cycle time

4 Organizational Consideration

4.1 Organisation Structure


In an SAP system, a user can use several structures to represent organizational structure of an entity
from the point of view of financial accounting, controlling, materials management, and sales and
distribution. The organizational structures form a framework in which all business transactions can be
processed. An organizational structure consists of several organizational levels, which are used by
different functional groups within an organization. The organizational levels that are relevant to
general ledger module are given below:-

4.1.1 Company
A company is an organizational unit in accounting which represents a business organization
according to the requirements of commercial law in a particular country. You store basic data for each
company in company definition. You only specify particular functions when you customize in Financial
Accounting. Here company Hotpack Holdings and Investments (HPHI) has been mapped as company

4.1.2 Company Code


Each company code represents an independent accounting unit. The balance sheet and the profit and
loss statement, which are required by law, are prepared at financial entities level. Further, there is a
business requirement to have a complete balance sheet and the profit and loss statement at
Company code and Plant level since each plant is a separate legal entity. Hence, H-pack UK (HPUK)

HP Revolution
Hotpack-SAP S/4 HANA Implementation Project
BBP_HP_FICO_GLA.doc Page 7 of 25
General Ledger Accounting
has been mapped as company code under company HPHI. All manufacturing, trading and logistics
entities under HPUK Company code will be configured as plants.

4.1.3 Chart of Accounts


In the chart of accounts list, you enter the GL Accounts that you want to use in your organization.
Chart of Accounts would contain Account Group (e.g. Assets – Fixed and Current, Liabilities – Fixed
and Current, Expenses – Manufacturing, Selling and Administrative, Revenues – Sales and Misc.)
Account group is to ensure that the GL accounts are correctly created as per the numbering
codification given also to ensure that accounts of similar nature are classified properly. For each
company code, you need to specify which chart of accounts is to be used. Several company codes
can use the same chart of accounts which will facilitate group consolidation at a company level much
easier. For H-pack, chart of account HP00 has been planned to be used for company code HPUK.

5 Solutions in SAP

General ledger functionality in the FI module of SAP offers a comprehensive framework for
addressing requirements raised by H-pack during BBP discussions. Explanation of different features
available in GL module and how H-pack can use them to address their needs is described in sections
below.

5.1 GL Accounts – Account groups


The first step in using GL module is deciding which chart of accounts to be used. As part of the
organisational structure discussions, it was decided that both the company codes planned for H-pack
will use the same chart of accounts HP00. The next step in this process is to decide the account
groups under which the different GL accounts need to be created. An account group is nothing but a
logical grouping of accounts which have got similar properties and are used for the same tasks. The
next step is to decide a number range for the actual GL accounts to be created so that the GL
accounts are created with a different number series for each group which makes them easily
identifiable. The length for a GL account could also be set while creating GL account groups
Based on discussions with H-pack, table below shows a list of suggested GL account groups and
number ranges:-
Number Range

5.2 Creation of GL accounts in SAP


GL accounts in SAP are created using transaction FS00. It is one of the master data in general ledger
module and controls the posting of accounting transactions into G/L accounts. With S/4 HANA,
following classifications for G/L accounts are available:-
 Balance sheet account
 Non-operating expense or income
 Primary costs or revenue
 Secondary costs
Flow chart given below shows the different steps involved.

While creating a GL accounts, data needs to be maintained for the following segments in it:-
 Chart of accounts segment
 Company code segment
 Controlling area segment
Chart of accounts segment
In this segment, specifications that apply to the entire G/L account master record are captured. These
include:
 The G/L account number and G/L account name
 Whether the account is a Balance sheet account or an Income statement Account
 Data that controls the creation of a master record in a company code, such as the account group
Company code segment
This information, which is specific to a particular Company, is maintained in the Company code
segment of the General Ledger Master record. This data controls how one enters and processes
business transaction data in the appropriate account as well as how the account is managed within a
company code.
The following are some of the specifications which will be made for each G/L account:
 Currency - account currency
 Reconciliation Account for Account Type - to specify the control accounts for the sub ledgers

HP Revolution
Hotpack-SAP S/4 HANA Implementation Project
BBP_HP_FICO_GLA.doc Page 11 of 25
General Ledger Accounting

 Open Item Management - will be maintained for accounts that required open item management. –
Ex. Bank sub-accounts, GR/IR Clearing account, etc., are maintained as Open Item Managed
accounts.
 Line Item Display - will be retained for accounts for which line items are to be stored separately.
Ex: Bank main accounts, all expense accounts, all balance sheet accounts, excepting accounts
which are of the nature of reconciliation accounts.
 Field Status Group - Used to control the status of the field at the time of posting whether it is
mandatory or optional or display or suppressed
 Post Automatically – Controls the posting to the GL Account whether it is automatic or manual.
Controlling area segment
Some G/L account master data is relevant only for a specific controlling area. This includes the
following settings:
 Cost Element Category - This is a classification of primary and secondary cost elements. It
determines the transactions with which you can use the cost element, such as internal settlement
or allocation.
 Record Quantity - This checkbox defines whether a message is issued in case no quantity or
quantity unit is specified for commitments or actual postings. The checkbox has no effect on
quantity updates.
 Internal Unit of Measurement - This indicator determines which unit of measurement is recorded.

5.3 Business processes in General Ledger


H-pack intends to use the following business processes which are available in SAP general ledger
functionality:-

5.3.1 Parking Journal Voucher


Parking is the option in SAP, where Journal entry can be entered and parked by a Jr. Accountant
where he is not confident of accounts to be used or he does not have authorization to post the
document. Those Jr. Level accountants would not have authorization to post the document and they
can only park the document. Normal GL business transactions will be used for this purpose.
Following are the pre-requisites to park a document in SAP
 Authorization
 At least one GL account
 Amount or value of the document
 Posting and document dates.

5.3.2 Posting Journal Vouchers


Posting process in SAP is done for creating required accounting entries in the books of account for a
company code. Parked documents can also be posted in this manner. Following are the pre-
requisites to post a document in SAP:-
 Authorization
 At least one GL account
 Amount or value of the document
 Posting and document dates.
 Parked document number if a parked document to be posted

5.3.3 Posting incoming and outgoing payments


It is normal in any entity to make payments against the liabilities or receive payments against
revenues that are booked. Although SAP GL system is tightly integrated with its MM and SD where
most of these activities will be done, it is sometimes necessary to post these directly into the GL
module. Following are the pre-requisites to post an incoming or outgoing payment in SAP:-
 Authorization for transactions F-06 and F-07
 Bank account number and the bank charges to be provided
 Open item document number which needs to be cleared with this payment
 Amount or value of the document
 Posting and document dates.

5.3.4 Document clearing


It is a general accounting practice to mange certain accounts as open item managed as it would be
possible to monitor a company’s outstanding liabilities and receivables at any point in time. This
practice will be followed in H-pack for certain accounts. Mentioned below are the pre-requisites for
enabling this process:-
 GL accounts that are supposed to be using a clearing process should be open item managed –
This need to be enabled by marking the checkbox for the same while creating GL account.
 Required authorisation
 Amount or value to be cleared
 Posting and document dates
Clearing process can be done either manually or through an automated fashion. In the manual mode,
users can select open documents to be cleared by using certain filter conditions whereas in the
automated mode, system selects open documents based on values in certain fields in both
documents. These fields can be decided during configuration and one of the most commonly used
one is the “Assignment number” field. In the automated process, the system proposes open
documents to be cleared based on selection criteria set during configuration. Users can continue with
the process if they are satisfied with the documents proposed by the system.

5.3.5 Reversal of clearing documents


It is common in any business to reverse the documents which were cleared using document clearing
option. The reason may be due to usage of wrong accounts, wrong amount or value of the document
and posted in the wrong period etc. Mentioned below are the pre-requisites for enabling this process:-
 Line items would have already been cleared
 Posting period for that period should have been opened else the document reversal would
happen in the current month

HP Revolution
Hotpack-SAP S/4 HANA Implementation Project
BBP_HP_FICO_GLA.doc Page 14 of 25
General Ledger Accounting

 Document to be reversed is a cleared document.


Documents can be reversed in two ways
1. Reverse normal document – Transaction Code – FB08
2. Reversal & reset cleared documents – Transaction Code – FBRA
By using these transaction codes, payments to vendors, receipts from customers, advances cleared
against invoices, can be reversed. Only cleared documents can be reversed using this option.
Resetting would only remove the clearing. Reset and Reverse would reset the clearing and reverse
the document.

5.3.6 Document splitting


H-pack usually come across scenarios where a single payment is received from a customer for
different shipments that happened from different plants. Since they are monitoring plant wise
profitability, they want this payment to be accounted in the all the plants proportional to the value of
invoice done from each of them. H-pack usually refer to this as multi credit / debit scenario. SAP
offers a solution to handling such scenarios by way of a functionality called document splitting.
Activation of document splitting will generate additional clearing lines based on a selected dimension.
Profit centre and segment are examples for dimensions that are permitted in SAP for document
splitting. Since in H-pack, all plants have to be treated as profit centres, document splitting can be
activated at a profit centre level so as to facilitate flow of profit centre values to each of the additional
clearing lines generated which will in turn help in generating financial statements based on profit
centres.
Below example shows the accounting entries generated with document splitting scenario activated in
case of payment receipt from a customer for invoices made from plant A and plant B:-

Invoice to customer A from plant A with profit centre 1000 for an amount 2000 GBP

Dr./Cr. Account Profit centre Amount


Dr. Customer A 1000 2000
Cr. Sales 1000 2000

Invoice to customer A from plant B with profit centre 2000 for amount 2000 GBP

Dr./Cr. Account Profit centre Amount


Dr. Customer A 2000 2000
Cr. Sales 2000 2000

HP Revolution
Hotpack-SAP S/4 HANA Implementation Project
BBP_HP_FICO_GLA.doc Page 15 of 25
General Ledger Accounting
Assume that we are receiving a payment of 4000 GBP from customer A as payment against both
these invoices and this is used to clear both invoices of the customer. Without activating document
splitting, this would have generated a single clearing line for 4000 GBP. But with document splitting
on a profit centre level, the SAP system will generate additional clearing lines as below:-
Dr./Cr. Account Profit centre Amount
Dr. Bank Account 1000 2000
Dr. Bank Account 2000 2000
Cr. Customer G/L 1000 2000
Cr. Customer G/L 2000 2000

By doing this way, it is ensured that the revenue is distributed to both plants thereby affecting plant
wise profitability statements.

5.3.7 Recurring Entries


For postings that recur on a regular basis, such as pre payments of rent or interest, legal fees and
Insurance, H-pack plans to use the recurring entry program to have the necessary documents
generated automatically.
 The recurring business transactions must be stored in the system as recurring entry original
documents.
 Each recurring entry original document contains the first and last posting, the frequency at which
posting should be made, and the date of the next planned posting.
 Either value or GL account number changes, new recurring entry need to be created with new
validity period.
 The recurring entry program must be started at regular intervals within a specified period.
 The program selects all recurring entry original documents in which the date of the next posting
falls within the specified period, and then generates a batch input session. When the session is
processed, an FI document that corresponds to the original document is posted, and the date of
the next posting is changed accordingly in the recurring entry original document.
 A process flow diagram for posting recurring entry document is shown below:-

5.3.8 Foreign currency revaluation


It is normal to carryout and post business transactions in any currencies. Whenever the business
transactions are posted other than in company code currency and line items are not cleared, as a
month end closing process, such documents or line items, need to be revaluated as per the present
exchange rates. (For example, bank accounts maintained in foreign currency). In SAP, system
revaluates those line items and posts document on the last date of the period and reverses on 1st day
of the next period to have the correct trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet. Option has been
given to revaluate the all or few or selected GL Accounts, Vendor or Customer Accounts.
Pre-requisites
 Documents should have been posted other than in local currency
 Execute a SAP standard transaction to post the revaluation.
 Authorization
 Would be executed on monthly basis
A process flow chart is shown below:-

General Ledger Accounting

5.3.9 Carry forward balances


This process is carried out to carry forward GL account balances to the next fiscal year after closing
the books of accounts for the current year. The process can be executed once the month end closing
processes are completed for the last period of the current fiscal year. For company codes in H-pack,
this should be done in December every year. Any subsequent entries posted for financial yearend
closing, system automatically updates the balance sheet and profit & loss account online. No need of
executing the process again.
Pre-requisite:
 Closing process of the last period of the fiscal year should have been completed.

5.3.10 Financial statement versions

Financial Statement Version (FSV) is the format for creating balance sheet and profit & loss
statements. FSV can be designed to the reporting requirement, the FSV. Since SAP is online system,
whenever business transactions have financial entries, FSV is updated immediately. Hence, updated
balance sheet and profit & loss statements are available at any given time. Financial Statement
Versions – HPIS (Statement of Comprehensive Income) & HPBS (Statement of Financial Position)
would be created for HPUK.

5.3.11 Financial year closing

The closing operations are to be performed on a monthly or quarterly or yearly basis which will be
discussed in detail in the operational manual of user. Some of the closing procedures are mentioned
below:
 Foreign currency valuation for open items
 Accruals and reversal of provisions
 Calculate & post Interest on loans
 Depreciation posting
 Closing & opening of posting periods
 Fiscal year change
 Balance carried forward

7 Functional Deficits

 H-pack wants to do G/L wise financial planning and generation of projected financial statements.
Even though this functionality was available in ECC, the same has been deprecated in S/4 HANA
and hence this is not possible without implementing additional products from SAP
 H-pack wants the GL account numbers to be generated automatically based on the series
assigned for the selected group. This functionality is not supported by SAP

8 Approaches to Cover Functional Deficits

 It is advised by SAP that the customer should implement Business Planning and Consolidation
(BPC) for planning activities. BPC is another product from SAP and it is integrated with S/4
HANA. Even though the functionality that was available in ECC could be retrofitted through some
SAP notes, they do not strongly recommend implementation of these corrections for S/4 HANA.
Hence it is suggested to have a discussion with SAP to check whether H-pack can use BPC and
its licensing implications. Implementation of BPC, if required, needs to be treated as a separate
project.

 For automatic GL number generation, check for availability of suitable user-exits. This
functionality can be met through ABAP development only if a suitable exit method is found.

9 Business process Improvements/Benefits

GL accounting provides a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Since it is
tightly integrated with all other sub modules, it always provides a picture that is accurate and
complete. Users will also have facility for checking actual individual transactions any time.
