1.INTRODUCTION
Having configured the FI- GL component, we now need to configure the secondimportant module Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) of SAP.
The AR and AP acts as a sub ledger to FI- GL for managing the balances of Customersand Vendors. The AR and AP components store all the information andbalance details for each customer and vendor.
Data is updated from AR and AP in real time to the FI-GL module. Most of the Data inAP module is obtained from the Materials Management (MM) module. Similarly mostof the Data in AR module is obtained from the Sales and Distribution module.
Here we will see the configuration for AR and AP and also cover theconfiguration for Automatic payment program.

Menu Path
IMG Financial Accounting Accounts Receivable and AccountsPayable Customer Accounts Master Data Preparations forCreating Customer Master Data Define Screen Layout perCompany Code (Customers)
Under this step we specify, depending on the company code, whichcompany code-dependent master record fields
are ready for input Optional require an entry - Required are hidden. - Suppress
With the help of this link, you can see which status the fields haveon the entry screen for master data. The given specification isdependent on the field status of the account group and aspecification for the transaction. In this case, the fields take on thestatus which has the highest priority. Hiding a field has the highest
priority, followed by a display field, a required field and then anoptional field: (See the SDRO rule given in the GL configuration)
The entry under the company code * applies to the company codeswhich are not explicitly entered in the table. You should not deletethis entry.
Generally for this no configuration is to be done except in
exceptional cases. For example, if the company codes are indifferent countries or some company codes do not use automaticpayment processing for customers. If fields are to have analternative status depending on the company code, specify thecompany code and determine the status of the fields.
