SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) Practice Exam

Which activities can generate FI documents during real-time integration between CO and FI?

1. An assessment between cost centers that belong to two different company codes

2. Creating a budget report

3. Posting material consumption

4. A manual report from one cost center to another in the same company code, but with different functional areas
