There are mandatory components, such as:

  • Accounting Engine
  • Flow Control
  • Local Integrity. These components provide business accounting with its basis functionalities and are needed for the generation of an executable data basis.They are automatically assigned to each data basis when created.

Other components are optional, such as:

  • Cost and Revenue Journal
  • Profitability Management View
  • Business Transaction Pure Profit.

To provide a data basis with special functionality, assign these components to it in Customizing.

The list of optional components can be extended for new application of business accounting. At the moment, only the named components are available.

Each component has a component type. These are:

  • AE = Accounting Engine

The component types are assigned to the components in table /EACC/'TCOMPON.
