of Document Entry UI: G/L, AR, or AP.
In this way the application knows the corresponding transactions and document entry layout for
different document types. Document Types, which are not assigned to any Document Entry UI,
cannot be used in the Manual Document Entry application.
3. If necessary, modify the default configuration document entry UI in the Append User Interface Building
Blocks at Document Header and Edit User Interface Building Blocks at Line Item Customizing activities. If you
do not want to modify the default document entry UI, you can ignore both of these.
Document Verification Process

If you want to enable the Document Verification Process for manual document, proceed as follows:
1. Define Document Verification Settings. This is mandatory.
The default verification process is one-level verification. If you need a more complex verification
process, you may create Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus) rules to implement the logic and
assign the BRFplus rule to the verification process. There are two new BRFplus rules (predefined
by SAP and delivered with this development) that you can copy and adjust according to your
needs. They are defined in the BRFplus application FUCN_FIDOC_VERIFICATION_RULE_C as follows:
n Rule CALCULATE_VERIFICATION_LEVEL: verification process defined using decision table
n Rule CALCULATE_VERIFICATION_LEVEL2: verification process defined using decision tree
2. If you ou cannot use BRFplus, for example if you need even more complex document verification
rules, you need to implement the BAdI: Document Verification business add-in (BAdI).
Reporting and Printing

1. If the default behaviors and formats of the general ledger reports, and sub-ledger reports meet
your needs, you do not need to complete the following Customizing activities.
n Customizing Reporting Nodes
n Maintain Adobe Form Table
n Maintain Print Mode Table
2. You can use the Customizing activity Define Settings for Reports to configure your own reports (based
on Business Explorer (BEx) queries and ODPs (Operational Data Provisions) ) as well as the
navigation between these reports.
3. To cope with large volumes of data, back-end printing uses a splitting logic to print the reports
individually for each company code and fiscal year. However, if you are not satisfied with the

default splitting logic, or if your data volume is so large that you would need to split the data into
smaller units (for a finer granularity), you can implement the BAdI: Report Backend Print BAdI.

Operation Information

4 Operation Information

This chapter provides you with the most important information regarding operation.
Within the management of SAP Technology, monitoring is an essential task. A section has therefore
been devoted solely to this subject.
You can find more information about the underlying technology in the SAP NetWeaver Technical
Operations Manual on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nw SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including
Enhancement Package 3 Technical Operations Guide English Administration of IT Scenarios Technical
Operations Manual .

4.1 Monitoring
Proactive, automated monitoring is the basis for ensuring reliable operations for your SAP system
environment. SAP provides you with the infrastructure and recommendations needed to set up your
alert monitoring to recognize critical situations within your system landscape. SAP ERP 6.0 is based
on SAP NetWeaver technology, so you can use standard SAP NetWeaver monitoring tools. This
includes the Computing Center Management System (CCMS).
With the monitoring architecture of the CCMS, SAP provides an infrastructure with which you
can monitor your IT landscape centrally. The monitoring architecture is delivered with every
SAP NetWeaver Application Server. The architecture runs on every SAP NetWeaver Application
Server and can be extended to include additional SAP and non-SAP components. The concept of
the monitoring architecture is to make all required information available in a central monitoring
system, such as alerts or log files.
For more information about the CCMS, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nw SAP
NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 3 Technical Operations Guide English Administration of IT
Scenarios Technical Operations Manual .

5.4.2 Integration into Single Sign-On Environments

The SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations supports the Single Sign-On(SSO) mechanisms provided
by SAP NetWeaver. Therefore, the security recommendations and guidelines for user administration
and authentication as described in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide also apply to the SAP ERP Financial
Accounting and Operations.
For more information about the available authentication mechanisms, see User Authentication and Single
Sign-On in the SAP NetWeaver Library.

5.5 Authorizations
The SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations uses the authorization concept provided by the SAP
NetWeaver AS ABAP. Therefore, the recommendations and guidelines for authorizations as described
in the SAP NetWeaver AS Security Guide ABAP also apply to the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and
Operations.
The SAP NetWeaver authorization concept is based on assigning authorizations to users based on roles.
For role maintenance, use the profile generator (transaction PFCG) on the AS ABAP.
Note

For more information about how to create roles, see Role Administration.
Standard Roles

Financial Accounting and Operations.
Standard Authorization Objects

Authorization Object

Description

F_DECOLAYR

SAP Financials has a software layer for the creation,

change, and display of FI accounting documents in
addition to the classical back-end programs. This
software layer is the basis for new applications in
Financials. This authorization object secures the
RFC-enabled function modules of that software layer
against unauthorized access.
Users that use the new applications for FI accounting
documents need the relevant authorization for this
object.

F_FUD_DOCV

Users that want to process verification documents

need the relevant authorization for this object

5.6 Session Security Protection

To increase security and prevent access to the SAP logon ticket and security session cookie(s), we
recommend activating secure session management.
We also highly recommend using SSL to protect the network communications where these
security-relevant cookies are transferred.
Session Security Protection on the AS ABAP

To activate session security on the AS ABAP, set the corresponding profile parameters and activate the
session security for the client(s) using the SICF_SESSIONS transaction.
In addition, you have to redirect all HTTP-calls to HTTPS by setting the instance profile
parameter icm/HTTP/redirect_<x> = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, PROT=https,
HOST=<instance-hostname>PORT=<httpsv prot number>. The values depend on System and
Application Server. An example for central instance of system QMR:

HOST=uxciqmr.wdf.sap.corp, PORT=44315

For more information, a list of the relevant profile parameters, and detailed instructions, see Activating
HTTP Security Session Management on AS ABAP in the AS ABAP security documentation.

5.7 Network and Communication Security

Your network infrastructure is extremely important in protecting your system. Your network needs
to support the communication necessary for your business needs without allowing unauthorized
access. A well-defined network topology can eliminate many security threats based on software flaws
(at both the operating system level and application level) or network attacks such as eavesdropping. If
users cannot log on to your application or database servers at the operating system or database layer,
then there is no way for intruders to compromise the machines and gain access to the back-end system
database or files. Additionally, if users are not able to connect to the server LAN (local area network),
they cannot exploit well-known bugs and security holes in network services on the server machines.
The network topology for the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations is based on the topology used by
the SAP NetWeaver platform. Therefore, the security guidelines and recommendations described in
the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide also apply to the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations.
Details that specifically apply to the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations are described in the
following topics:
n Network Security
This topic describes the recommended network topology for the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and
Operations. It shows the appropriate network segments for the various client and server components
and where to use firewalls for access protection. It also includes a list of the ports needed to operate
the SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations.
n Communication Destinations
This topic describes the information needed for the various communication paths, for example,
which users are used for which communications.

5.7.1 Network Security

Ports

The SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Operations runs on SAP NetWeaver and uses the ports from the AS
ABAP. For more information, see the topics for AS ABAP Ports in the corresponding SAP NetWeaver
Security Guides.
For other components, for example, SAPinst, SAProuter, or the SAP Web Dispatcher, see also the
document TCP/IP Ports Used by SAP Applications, which is located on SAP Developer Network at
