Efficient financial processes with Fiori: our app favorites at a glance

Increasing regulatory requirements demand more flexibility and precision - Fiori apps help to make bookings and evaluations intuitive, exploit efficiency potential and optimize financial processes.

The constantly growing regulatory requirements demand more flexibility and precision from companies than ever before. Intuitive, fast and user-specific processing of bookings and evaluations is becoming a decisive success factor. With the targeted use of Fiori apps, not only can efficiency potential be exploited, but financial processes can also be sustainably optimized. Below we present five Fiori apps that have proven themselves in practice and provide immediate added value.

General ledger overview

Where information previously had to be laboriously compiled, it is now displayed at a glance in the dashboard app.

  • This contains various tiles with the KPIs that are retrieved from the linked apps in real time.
  • Dashboard content and display can be flexibly adapted to the user's needs and can be arranged individually.
  • The tiles can be used to navigate directly to the respective apps, but quick links can also be created on the dashboard to navigate quickly and easily to other apps.

General ledger upload

With the upload fiori, G/L account documents can be posted quickly and easily via Excel upload.

  • The corresponding Excel template is integrated directly into the app and can be downloaded there.
  • The usual document verification rules are applied directly during the upload and documented in the log.
  • Any errors can be corrected either directly via document processing or in the upload document.

New from release S/4HANA 2023 OP:

A new format option is available with the S/4HANA 2023 OP release. While the old format was structured in the same way as transaction FB50 - item data at the top and line items below - header and item data are arranged next to each other in the new format. This simplifies both the calculation of totals and the comparison of amounts. Users are free to choose which version they work with.

  • Display, edit and cancel documents centrally in one app.
  • Correspondence can also be created directly from here.
  • In addition, direct jump options are available for posting new documents - manually and via upload.

New from Release S/4HANA 2023 OP:

From release 2023 OP, a new version of this app will be available that is more user-friendly and offers enhanced functionalities:

  • additional fields for filtering and displaying receipts
  • greater granularity in the document list
  • Easier and faster navigation between posting documents and line items

Limitations:

Mass cancellations of more than 200 items cannot be processed in the foreground.

General ledger line items

The general ledger line items app provides a transparent overview of the items from the general ledger and subledgers.

  • The comprehensive list of dimensions that can be included in the selection and preparation of data allows specific evaluations to be created.
  • In addition to various standard fields, customer-specific dimensions can also be integrated
  • The lists created can be downloaded for further processing / documentation.

Limitations

Excel download of the list information is only possible in the detailed view. The compressed view cannot be downloaded.

Totals and balances list

The totals and balances list enables evaluation based on individual parameters over user-defined periods.

  • A comprehensive list of dimensions can be included in the report generation as required, so that the user can easily and quickly create the evaluations he needs.
  • In addition to jump options to various apps to display specific details, a download option is also available.
