What is SAP FICO?
SAP FICO is a module of SAP ERP which is used for financial reporting both externally and internally. The objective is to record all financial transactions that are posted by an entity and produce financial statements that are accurate at the end of the trading period. The SAP FICO full form is FI (Financial Accounting) and CO (Controlling).
This SAP FICO basics tutorial is going to explain SAP FICO overview and the major functionalities of the SAP FICO module.
SAP FI is made up of SAP FICO sub-modules. The sub-modules that are often used are accounts receivables, accounts payables, asset accounting, general ledger Accounting, and bank accounting.
All the sub-modules are interlinked and integrated in real-time. A trial balance can be extracted at a time and it will always balance because all the sub-modules are connected. The diagram below shows the integration between FICO SAP modules.
