ETCircle.com SAP FI and CO consultant information
Here you will find basic tutorials for configuration SAP FICO. From my point of view, it is better to make a full SAP FICO Configuration from A to Z and then to dive into the details. In this way, you will start to understand much faster what you will see in the advanced books. These tutorials are part of my learning of SAP and my search for valuable materials which will help you to become a SAP FICO Consultant.

Why did it stop at the General Ledger ?
Hi Emad,
Sorry, but in last several months I am a bit overloaded with other stuff. I also get a role in SAP BPC area for which I am going to write too.
btw. I was following the book SAP ERP Financials: Configuration and Design 2nd edition.
Regards,
Emiliyan
Is there a way to communicate with you via email ?
Need a private advice
SAP.EmadKamel@GmaiL.Com
Hi Emad
Do you cover SAP-JVA (joint venture accounting)?. I am looking for material regarding configuration and set-up of SAP-JVA.. Now, I work with it at home on my server and I understand that the configuration is not available in the manuals, particularly the configuration for posting, methods, posting rules in combination with item types, manipulation rules etc.
Kindly let me know if you also cover SAP-JVA
Thanks
Hello Cecil, sorry, but I do not cover that.
Hi Emad,
Thank you for your reply. It’s a shame that nobody is doing SAP-JVA which is an important subject for oil and gas. Anyway, why is it that you don’t try and make a course and put it on udemy.com. Have you seen that site?. Check it out.
Yes, I am considering that, but in the last year I much more inclined in the BPC than in FICO, so right now I feel comfortable with BPC for the advanced topics.
Hi Tanev
I must say that yours is one of the best blog on FICO. Congratualtions for putting together such a wonderful page. Great help to people who want to get on to the SAP ladder. Brilliant.
Thank you!
Just want to thank you for putting in efforts to create such a detailed blog on FI/CO Config and application. It really helped me big time to brush up my knowledge after a 6 month gap without having to work on an actual system. Thank you again!
Hi,
Many many thanks and appreciate for your efforts and help people who are in the ocean of SAP. No doubt your blog is in very detailed and helpful for each and everyone, I am also getting benefits and clear concepts for configuration as I am newly joined FICO training and willing to join SAP FICO consultants team.
Once again thank you.
Best regards,
Thank you for the kind words Abdul!

Emiliyan

Thanks ET…. Good material
Hi ET … Is there any difference between SAP R/3 ECC6 vs SAP S/4HANA configuration settings
Hi Seelam,
I don’t know as I moved my professional orientation from ERP to BPC. S4/HANA has been simplified quite a lot, so I would expect differences.
Regards,
Emiliyan
The simple and straight forward answer is in the case of SAP R/3 ECC6 the database used will be Oracle and in the case of S4 HANA it is invariably a HANA Database. BTB HANA is a proprietory database of SAP. There are various changes in S4 Hana including the configuration.
Thanks…..Emiliyan
Hello Mr. Tanav
This is Vithal here
I would like to know whether you have a full-fledged SAP FI/CO Material which I can purchase that contains detailed steps of configuration, logical explanation, and model project. Kindly let me know the price if such material is available. Or suggest me the best book, if not.
Kindly help me with the requirement.
Thanking You.
Hi Sai,
Unfortunately, I don’t have anything other than what I wrote or recommended in this website.
Regards,
Emiliyan
Emiliyan,
Thanks for documenting in detail the FICO configuration!
Have you documented for SD configuration, or know of a blog for SD configuration?
Best to you!
Unfortunately, not.
