Video Blog: Enhancement Packages 5 & 6 – Where to find the business functions that matter for Controllers

When SAP introduced the concept of enhancement packages and packaged functionality in business functions, administrators were relieved that they would not have to test everything when they upgraded. However, it made some business functions difficult to locate.

In this recorded session from Controlling 2014, Janet Salmon dives into hard to find functionality important to Controllers including:

• FIN_CO_COGM: Parallel valuation of cost of goods manufactured allows for different costing approaches for each accounting principle your company follows
• LOG_MM_SIT: Actual costing and stock in transit allows you to pass production variances to other plants, even if they are assigned to other company codes
• LOG_EAM_OLC: Operation level costing provides a more detailed view of your service and maintenance costs
• FIN_CO_CCMGMT: New user interfaces for cost center, order and activity type master data and first planning applications
• FIN_CO_CCPLAN and FIN_CO_ORPLAN: New user interfaces for cost center planning, order planning, and project planning

Leave this session with the ability to go back to the office and quickly identify and use the business functions that benefit you.
