SAP FI sandbox — Prepare your finance practice area

Company code and period
Use the company code, fiscal year and open posting period assigned to your exercise.
Accounts and currency
Select permitted general-ledger accounts and understand the debit and credit in your example. Check tax and cost-object requirements where relevant.
A report to compare
Choose the line-item or balance view you will inspect after the posting. Keep its selection criteria unchanged.

Example: explain a balanced journal

  1. Write down the intended posting

    For a fictional reclassification, identify the two permitted accounts and equal debit and credit amounts.

  2. Enter or inspect the document

    Check document date, posting date, currency, company code and each line before saving.

  3. Read the posted entry

    Record its document number and fiscal year. Confirm the accounts and amounts match your intention.

  4. Trace the balances

    Open the relevant line items and explain how the entry changed each account.

If something differs

The system requests a cost object

Review the expense account and the cost-centre or other assignment required by the exercise.

The balance does not change

Check that the document is posted, then compare company code, period, currency and ledger selection.
