FI Integration
FI Integration covers how the Financial Accounting module connects with other SAP components (MM, SD, CO, HR/Payroll, Asset Accounting, and Treasury) to ensure that every business transaction produces a consistent, auditable accounting entry. This topic explains the business purpose of cross-module integration, the organizational and master data structures that make automatic postings possible, the configuration and account determination logic that drives postings, the document flow at runtime, and the controls, reconciliation, and troubleshooting practices consultants need in ECC and S/4HANA (on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud) environments.
