Objectives of the lesson
This manual covers the settings and configurations required in the central finance system. All
tasks are to be performed on the central finance target system.
.
1. Check business function activation.
A runtime configuration group in AIF defines how AIF messages relating to replication objects
are processed, for example if they are processed synchronously or asynchronously, and how
many messages are processed in one run. You can specify separate runtime configuration
groups for the replication objects available in central finance (FI/CO postings, CO internal
postings, and cost objects). If no runtime configuration groups are defined in this activity, the
data is processed using the default configuration, in which a separate background job is run for
each AIF message.
In this activity, you maintain the technical parameters for RFC destinations. These parameters
are used for remote function calls (RFC) to other systems. RFC connections are needed for
the initial load of posting data from the connected source systems to central finance, and to
navigate to accounting documents in the source systems.
e) On the RFC Destination ZMECLNT800 screen, in the upper part of the window, enter the
information from the table below:
4. Check logical system for source system and central finance system
In this customizing activity, you check if the logical systems are defined for the connected source
systems. A logical system identifies the client of the connected source systems in the accounting
documents.
In this customizing activity, you check RFC destinations to logical systems for each connected source
system.
In this customizing activity, you check the logic system assignment for the central finance system client.
a) Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (transaction SPRO).
b) Select Financial Accounting → Central Finance → Central Finance: Target System Settings → Set Up
Systems → Check Logical System Assignment for Central Finance Client
c) On the Change View “Clients”: Overview screen, select your client eg Client 400, SAP AG, Walldorf. In
the upper left corner of the menu, select the Details button to show all information.
7. Check the decimal places for currencies in the source systems.
In this activity, you check the number of decimal places for currencies in the source system and check if they are
defined differently than in the central finance system. The number of decimal places for currencies in both the
source and central finance systems, is maintained in the IMG activity: Set Decimal Places for Currencies. This
activity is usually part of the general setup of the system. In the standard setup, this activity contains no settings.
This means that all currencies are assumed to have the same number of decimal places in both source and
central finance system.
