3 Configuration Settings
3.1 Basic Customizing
3.1.1 Define Company (Trading partner)
Client :
The client is the highest level in the mySAP ERP system hierarchy. Specificationsor data that is valid for all organizational units in mySAP ERP applications (suchas exchange rates, for example) are entered at the client level. This eliminates theneed to enter this information more than once. Each client is an independentunit with separate master records and a complete set of tables and data. Usersmust enter a client key and have a user master record in the client in order to log
on to the system.
Company (Trading partner):
In an enterprise structure, it is placed at the highest level in hierarchy. This is nothing but the group company.

3.1.3 Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company code
Company Code:
A company code is an independent organisational unit in accounting that contains its own set of books of accounts from which financial statements (BS, P&L statement) can be drawn for legal purposes.
Since most government and tax authorities require the registration of a legal entity for every company, a separate company code is usually created per country.
Certain information is mandatory for creation of company code:
1. Currency
2. Language
3. Company code key ( 4 digit alphanumeric key)
4. Name & Address

3.1.6 Maintain Fiscal Year Variant
Variant Principle in SAP: Variant principle is SAP is very popular. It is very simple and easy to operate. There are 3 steps in nit
1) Create a variant
2) Populate it with values
3) Assign it to objects
Fiscal Year Variant: FYV is nothing but the accounting year for a co code. In SAP R/3 system FYV might be following English calendar year (January-December) or might not be following.
FYV contains the definition of Posting periods and special periods. Special periods are used for postings that are not assigned to time periods, but to the process of year-end closing. In total you can define 16 periods.

GENERAL LEDGER CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 1
Figure 6: Fiscal year Variant K4 provided by SAP (standard ) with 4 special periods
Year Dependant: If we intend to change the FYV in the subsequent years this need to be checked
Calendar Year: I f the FYV is from Jan-Dec, this need not be checked. If it is other than Jan to Dec, this needs to be checked
No of Posting Periods: It represents how many times we close our books accounts in a year. Generally it is 12.
No of Special periods: The periods used for year- end adjustments. SAP allows a max of 4 spl periods.
Here is an example of FYV for Jun-July and how the year shift needs to be manipulated to get the year we need.
