Can someone explain what the difference is between application areas S and C ?

[Sourabh9]

In BRIM for FICA, there are 2 application areas, namely S (Extended FICA) and C (Convergent FICA). What is the difference between the two, and how should I decide on their usage as per the project?

The meaning of these letters may vary depending on the context within SAP. However, I can provide a general interpretation based on some common contexts. The meaning of these letters may vary depending on the context within SAP.

A. "S" could indicate that the functionality is designed for a specific industry. SAP offers various industry solutions tailored to specific business sectors. In some SAP contexts, the letter "S" might be associated with industry-specific solutions or modules. (i.e. SAP Industry Solutions)

B. C" might denote core components or cross-industry modules. These are functionalities that are fundamental and applicable across various business sectors. (i.e. Core Components)

Hi,

FI-CAC in S/4HANA on-premise and cloud, private edition offers comparable functional scope like FI-CAX. Main differences between FI-CAC and FI-CAX are:

 - FI-CAC provides best practices content via several scope items (for USA and Germany).

- FI-CAC offers additional modern APIs. These APIs are also provided for the public cloud solution S/4HANA cloud for contract accounting and invoicing.

- FI-CAC has no functionality for balance interest calculation, only document based interest calculation is available (in particular, I have never seen a project in which interest is calculated by the amount. Always by document, so I don't see any difference).

- FI-CAC has no functionality to post requests (transactions FKKORD*).

You can check these details in note 3280146.
Best Regards
