Safeguarding with compatibility views
 From the perspective of an ABAP
program, nothing changed (read access)
 We provide so-called “compatibility
views”.
 Via these views, the Select is redirected
to the new persistency in SAP HANA
 In the example given, an access to table
FAGLFLEXA is redirected via the
view FGLV_FAGLFLEXA to the new
universal journal entry
 Consequence: Customer ABAP programs

Benefits:
 With the universal journal, Controlling is now fully embedded in
the general ledger
 One line item table with full details for all FI and CO components
 Data stored only once: no reconciliation needed by architecture
 Secondary cost elements are G/L accounts
 Reduction of memory footprint through elimination of redundancy
 Fast multi-dimensional reporting on the universal journal
possible without replicating data to BI
 If BI is in place anyway, only one BI extractor needed (instead
of many today)
 Technically enhanced important structural capabilities of the
Financials solution to support e.g. multi-GAAP, additional
currencies
Prerequisite for getting the full benefit:
 Profitability analysis in the universal journal
Essential Changes in SAP S/4HANA Controlling
Unified master data maintenance
G/L account type: only one G/L master is
required. G/L accounts of type “secondary
costs” or “revenues” update CSK* and
SK* tables

The cost element category specifies which
transactions can use this cost element
Accounts of type “secondary costs” can

Essential Changes in SAP S/4HANA Controlling
Data flow – CO postings
Description
 ACDOCA stores full details
 Former COEP, ANEP, MLIT etc. data is stored in ACDOCA
 BSEG is only written in case open item-managed accounts
are affected (e.g. for cross-company postings)
 PCA, FI-SL work as before. If FI-SL was posted via activity
“COFI” (real-time integration CO-FI), secondary cost
elements (which are now G/L accounts) are posted directly
and no mapping to a primary cost element is done
 EC-CS as before with New G/L real-time integration, but
now including secondary cost elements (which are G/L
accounts). The system now works with the original CO
activities like RKU1 instead of using the activity “COFI”
 Components that have been built with FI-SL technology
work as before.
 Cost-based CO-PA works as before
 (Accounting-based CO-PA has been activated)

Material ledger mandatory in SAP S/4HANA
 We never needed ML and now we have to use it
 A lot of extra work in implementation
 Extra work for each month-end closing
 Standard price and moving average price are no
longer possible
Material ledger (ML) is now obligatory for all SAP S/4HANA customers
What SAP wanted to say What customers understood
 Material ledger and Finance are now responsible
for material valuation
 Only one solution (ML) and not two in parallel
material ledger + materials management
(MM)
 The checkmark ‘Material Ledger Active’ will be
set
 Material valuation is now stored in ML tables and
not MM

period-end close in SAP S4HANA
 These transaction programs are
developed in line with new data structure
and the transaction codes end with H, i.e.
KO8GH, KKS1H, CO88H etc.
 SAP Note 2541629
Default account assignment
 Default account assignment, which could
be maintained in cost element master,
has been removed
 In SAP S/4HANA, default account
assignment can be defined in transaction
OKB9
 Default accounts maintained in former
cost element master data are migrated to

Essential Changes in SAP S/4HANA Controlling
Enhancements of Profitability
Analysis
Account-Based CO-PA
 ACDOCA can be extended by customer-specific fields (like in COPA)
 Split of cost-of-goods-sold posting on multiple accounts (by cost component)
 Split of production variances posting on multiple accounts (differentiation of price/quantity effects)
 Three new quantity fields in the line items + BAdI for conversion of logistic quantities to common quantities
(e.g. products sold in different box sizes – but KPI in Finance is calculated on tons/KG of products)
 Real-time derivation of market segment information from cost postings (cost center, order, WBS element)
 Immediate availability for reporting (P&L, B/S) based on ACDOCA
 Faster soft and hard close for periods
Costing-Based CO-PA
 Product continues to exist and be supported, but no enhancements with SAP Accounting
 Customers can run account-based and costing-based CO-PA in parallel
 Customers should assess their valuation in FI versus valuation in costing-based CO-PA
Refer COPA FAQ 2176823
