FI Global Settings Ledgers Part 1: Custom Fields, Parallel Accounting, and Ledger Types
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 10 is where FI global settings get real. Veeriah starts with ledgers, and this first half of the chapter walks you through the building blocks: standard fields, custom fields, field status controls, accounting principles, and the whole ledger architecture in S/4HANA.
FI Global Settings Ledgers Part 2: Universal Journal, Currencies, and Fiscal Year Setup
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
The second half of Chapter 10 picks up where ledger types left off and runs through currencies, fiscal years, posting period control, and year-end carry-forward. If Part 1 was about what ledgers are, Part 2 is about how money and time actually move through them.
FI Global Settings Document Part 1: Document Types, Number Ranges, and Posting Tools
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 11 shifts from ledgers to documents. SAP runs on the document principle: every business transaction creates a document. This first half covers what documents are, how they are numbered, and the tools that make data entry less painful.
FI Global Settings Document Part 2: Tolerances, Payments, Defaults, and Archiving
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
The back half of Chapter 11 is where document settings get operational. Tolerance groups, payment difference handling, default values, and archiving. This is the stuff that determines whether a $3 underpayment clears automatically or sits on someone’s desk for a week.
FI Global Settings Tax on Sales and Purchase: VAT, Tax Codes, and External Calculation
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 12 is the tax chapter for sales and purchases. Not withholding tax (that is Chapter 13). This one covers VAT-style taxes, how SAP calculates them, and when you hand the job to Vertex or Taxware instead.
FI Global Settings Withholding Tax: Classic vs EWT and the Changeover Process
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 13 is all about withholding tax. The tax your customer deducts from your invoice before paying you. Or the tax you deduct from a vendor before paying them. Veeriah spends most of the chapter on Extended Withholding Tax (EWT) because classic withholding tax is basically legacy at this point.
FI Global Settings Inflation Accounting: Indexes, Keys, and Revaluation in High-Inflation Countries
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers
Author: Narayanan Veeriah
ISBN: 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 14 closes out the FI global settings block. It is short but specific: inflation accounting for companies operating in high-inflation countries. If you are running SAP in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, or Turkey, this chapter matters. If you are in a stable-currency economy, skim it and move on.
SAP General Ledger in S/4HANA: Master Data, Chart of Accounts, and Setup (Part 1)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 15 is where the book stops talking about finance in the abstract and starts getting into the guts of SAP General Ledger. This first half covers questions 363 through about 412. If you have been reading the earlier chapters on parallel ledgers and company codes, this is the payoff. G/L is the hub everything else posts into.
SAP General Ledger: Document Splitting, Clearing, Closing, and Fiori Apps (Part 2)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Part 2 of Chapter 15 picks up where document splitting left off and runs through the operational side of G/L: posting documents, clearing open items, running closing programs, calculating interest, and the Fiori apps that replace a lot of old transaction codes. Questions 413 through 444.
SAP Accounts Receivable and Payable: Master Data and Business Partners (Part 1)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapters 16 and 17 split accounts receivable and payable across two chapters. Part 1 (questions 445 through about 472) is the foundation: what AR and AP do in S/4HANA, how customer and vendor masters work, and the setup you need before creating a single business partner.
SAP Payment Program: Configuration, Payment Runs, and SEPA Direct Debit (Part 2)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 16 part 2 is the payment program deep dive. Questions 469 through 497. If part 1 was about who you pay and who pays you, this half is about how money actually moves. House banks, payment methods, bank determination, and the F110 payment run process.
SAP Dunning: Procedures, Levels, and the Dunning Run Process (AR/AP Advanced Part 1)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 17 continues AR/AP with the stuff that happens after invoices and payments: dunning, special G/L transactions, interest calculation, and how FI connects to SD and MM. Part 1 (questions 498 through about 523) is all about dunning. And honestly, this is one of the more operationally useful sections in the book.
SAP Special G/L, Down Payments, and FI-SD/MM Integration (AR/AP Advanced Part 2)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 17 part 2 (questions 524 through 560) moves past dunning into special G/L postings, down payment chains, item interest calculation, and the integration glue between FI and the logistics modules. This is where the book connects AR/AP to the rest of the ERP landscape.
SAP Bank Accounting in S/4HANA: House Banks, Statements, and Fiori Apps
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 18 is a full chapter on bank accounting (questions 561 through 579). Not a sub-ledger like AR or AP. FI-BL is a sub-application for bank master data, payment processing, and reconciling what your bank says happened with what SAP recorded.
SAP Asset Accounting: Master Data, Depreciation Areas, and Transactions (Part 1)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 19 is asset accounting from top to bottom. Part 1 (questions 580 through about 612) covers FI-AA structure, master data, asset transactions, and the setup concepts you need before running a depreciation posting.
SAP Depreciation Methods, Depreciation Run, and Asset Reporting (Part 2)
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
Chapter 19 part 2 (questions 613 through 646) is where asset accounting gets mathematical. Depreciation keys, calculation methods, the AFAB run, year-end closing, and the reporting tools that asset accountants live in daily.
Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance: Book Series Closing Thoughts
Book: Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA Finance Simplified: Questions & Answers by Narayanan Veeriah | ISBN 978-93-65898-675
This post wraps the blog series covering the final chapters of Veeriah’s book: General Ledger, Accounts Receivable/Payable, Bank Accounting, and Asset Accounting. If you have been following along since the earlier posts on organizational structure, parallel ledgers, and document management, this is the end of the FI module walkthrough.
