In this step, you create your financial management (FM) areas. The financial management area is an organizational unit within accounting which structures the business organization from the perspective of Cash Budget Management and Funds Management.
You define the functional characteristics of FM areas separately for both Cash Budget Management and Funds Management in the implementation guide for each of these areas.
To be able to take advantage of the high degree of integration in the SAP system, you must link the FM areas with organization units from other applications. For example: if you assign a Financial Accounting document to a Funds Management object (such as a commitment item or funds center), the system has to determine an FM area, so that it can record the data in Funds Management. For this reason, you must specify how the appropriate FM area is to be determined.
The FM area is taken from the company code when you assign a company code to an FM area. More than one company code can be assigned to an FM area.
You make this assignment in the second step by assigning the company code (relevant to Cash Budget Management or Funds Management) to an FM area. For more information on this, see step "Assign company code to FM area".
Standard settings
FM area 0001 has already been installed in the standard SAP system.
Activities
Create your FM areas under a four-character key and define a name and currency for each FM area you create.
The FM area currency need not be the same as the currency in any of the assigned company code.
In the event that you later want to change the FM area currency, bear in mind that you cannot do this after you have posted any actual data for this FM area in the front-end systems (Financial Accounting, Materials Management).
You maintain the other FM area parameters, such as the fiscal year variant, later.
