A key feature of an enterprise data
system such as SAP is integration of function where events occurring in the
system cause accounting entries to be made automatically when the events
happen. This means that there is no lag between events and the books.
To facilitate this process SAP uses
this basic method:
- The account key determines the type of price and
discount calculation made
- The type of sales revenue posting to feed data into
profitability analysis
- The customer master record is the source for data
- The material master record is the source for data on what
was shipped from inventory
