General ledger · FI-GL
We work through the chart of accounts, company structures, posting rules and reporting dimensions. Ledger, currency and parallel accounting choices are assessed with finance against the target environment.
SAP FI: connect your accounting processes and financial close.
Our SAP FI consultants understand both the finance function and the system behind it. We start with your accounting operations, controls and organisation to design a solution your finance team can understand, validate and run.

01 · UNDERSTAND
Connect the accounting entry to the business event.
A successful close starts with the sale, purchase or acquisition of an asset. We investigate where operations and accounting fall out of step: incomplete master data, inconsistent account assignments, interfaces that are hard to reconcile or unclear control ownership. Those findings shape the design and test plan.
- Organise record-to-report, from posting to financial statements.
- Make reconciliations dependable and exceptions visible.
- Align practices across entities while retaining validated local requirements.
- Prepare data and people for a change to the finance system.
02 · DESIGN & DELIVER
Expertise grounded in how you work.
Receivables and payables · FI-AR / FI-AP
We review invoicing, open items, payments and clearing. Partial payments, credit notes and blocked items become practical design and test cases, connected to SD, MM and FSCM where relevant.
Asset accounting · FI-AA
We connect the asset lifecycle to your accounting policies, from acquisition through disposal. Opening values, asset movements, depreciation and general ledger reconciliation form part of the validation scope.
Close and financial integration
We clarify tasks, dependencies and supporting evidence. Testing covers postings from sales, procurement and interfaces, including the exceptions that consume time at period end.
COPERNIC · PEOPLE & EXPERTISE
Fluent in finance. Experienced in SAP.

A clear approach, from scoping to handover.
- 01
Define the finance requirements
We establish approved accounting rules, required reports, controls and the close calendar. Every requirement has a business owner.

Validate complete accounting flows
Configuration is tested against representative transactions and expected postings. Your teams help investigate differences between operational data, subledgers and the general ledger.
- 03
Prepare data and transfer knowledge
Balances, open items and assets have migration checks appropriate to the project. Procedures and training materials explain both normal processing and exception handling.
04 · MAKE IT CONCRETE
Deliverables your teams can use.
We agree the scope and acceptance criteria at the start of the engagement, based on your landscape and priorities.
- A finance design tied to business processes.
- Test scenarios with expected postings and control results.
- Clear ownership of close tasks and dependencies.
- Documented migration and reconciliation rules.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Your questions.
How do SAP FI and SAP CO differ?
FI supports financial accounting and the information required for company accounts. CO supports internal cost and profitability analysis. We design their interaction so accounting and management reporting apply consistent rules.
Can we improve the close without replacing our system?
A focused assessment can examine master data, controls, interfaces and task ownership. It distinguishes improvements available in your current environment from changes that require a broader programme.
How do you control a finance data migration?
We agree scope, mappings and reconciliation criteria before loading data. Rehearsals verify balances and open items, expose differences and prepare the evidence finance owners need for sign-off.
