- SAP FICO, MM & SD—Module Configuration and End-User Training Outline
Purpose
This outline covers two parallel tracks for each module (FICO, MM, and SD):

4. Cross-Module Integration Points
| Integration |
Key Touchpoints |
| MM–FI |
Goods Receipt/Invoice Verification triggers GL postings via OBYC account determination; vendor payment flows to AP. |
| SD–FI |
The billing document triggers revenue posting via VKOA account determination; customer receivables flow to AR. |
| MM–SD |
Stock availability from MM feeds ATP check-in SD; delivery/goods issue reduces inventory maintained via MM. |
| SD–CO |
Billing can post to COPA (value fields) for profitability reporting. |
| MM–CO |
Goods movements for cost centers/orders post- consumption to controlling |
A short integration testing session (order-to-cash and procure-to-pay end-to-end walkthroughs) is recommended after individual module configuration is complete.
