In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition's Asset Accounting, the relevant postings made periodically, typically at the end of the month, include: B. Depreciation Posting: This is the systematic reduction of the recorded cost of a fixed asset to allocate that cost over the asset's useful life. Depreciation postings are made periodically to reflect the wear and tear or obsolescence of the asset. D. Settlement of the WBS element: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements related to projects may have costs (including asset costs) collected against them. These costs are periodically settled to their final cost objects, such as fixed assets or cost centers, at the end of the month or upon project completion.

The effects of a goods issue posting in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition include the posting of an accounting document and a reduction in the inventory value. The accounting document reflects the financial impact of the goods leaving the inventory, capturing costs and adjusting the inventory account. The reduction in inventory value corresponds to the physical outflow of goods, accurately reflecting the current stock levels.

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the use of a business partner in accounts payable is controlled by the 'Business Partner Role'. This role defines the functions and responsibilities a business partner can have within the system, such as vendor or customer roles. In accounts payable, assigning a vendor role to a business partner enables the system to recognize and process transactions related to that partner in the context of accounts payable activities.

For a posted invoice in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, certain fields can still be changed under specific conditions or using specific functions, such as follow-on documents or adjustments. The fields that can typically be changed include: A. Payment terms, which can be adjusted to reflect new payment agreements. B. Profit center, which may be updated for correct financial reporting and analysis, often through subsequent account assignments. E. Line-item text, which can be modified to provide additional details or correct information without affecting the financial value of the transaction.

It's important to note that changes to these fields may be subject to system configuration and business process controls to ensure data integrity and compliance with financial reporting standards.

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, a business role is essentially a collection of one or more business catalogs. Business catalogs contain groups of Fiori apps and other resources that are related by business function or process. When a business role is assigned to a user, the user gains access to all the apps and resources contained within the business catalogs that are part of that role. This structure allows for the efficient management of access rights, ensuring that users have the tools they need to perform their roles while maintaining system security and control.

For producing external financial statements based on cost-of-sales accounting, the 'Functional area' dimension is used. Cost-of-sales accounting is an approach that matches the costs of products sold with the revenues generated from their sale, providing a more accurate representation of the profit for a specific period. The functional area dimension allows for the classification of expenses according to the functions within an organization, such as production, sales, or administration, making it a key dimension for cost-of-sales accounting. This classification helps in the preparation of income statements where expenses are categorized based on their function, which is essential for cost-of-sales accounting.

When troubleshooting why an SAP Fiori app isn't displaying on the SAP Fiori Launchpad despite correct role assignment, you should: B. Check the space and page(s) assigned to the role: Spaces and pages organize apps on the Launchpad. If the app is not included in the assigned spaces or pages, it won't be visible to the user. C. Check the business catalogs assigned to the role: Business catalogs contain the apps and must be assigned to the role to make the apps available. E. Check the restrictions for the role: Restrictions can limit access to certain apps within a role. Even if a business catalog is assigned, restrictions can prevent an app from appearing on the Launchpad.
