between the FI and CO for establishing a sense of consistency amongst the reporting of
management accounting in both internal and external way. Thus, the following would be a
developed report establishing the detailed information about the SAP S/4HANA suite for
Finance for Management Accounting describing the transitory historic summary of the SAP

Finance and the latest SAP ERP FICO, the advantages that SAP S/4HANA suite for Finance
has over the occupational systems, the examples related to the case studies for the

proven to be a much difficult process to achieve as the process looks forward to the
combination of a huge amount of diverse data and it required the entire data to be made into a
