[Richard_Keen]

Does anyone know if there is a best practice file available for mapping the SAP standard CoA to FS items ?

Currently the mapping between G/L accounts and FS items is delivered as demo data in scope item 1SG.

The delivery of G/L accounts is decentralized. G/L accounts are managed in different standard and non-standard or priced scope items. What G/L accounts are in customers’ system vary from customer to customer depending on customers’ scoping result. Furthermore, as of now new G/L accounts added in existing scope items are not deployed to customers’ systems during content upgrade.  It is not feasible to deliver a fixed list of mapping from G/L accounts to FS items which can satisfy all customers’ requirements. It is expected that the mapping is done and reviewed during project implementation with reference to pre-delivered mapping demo data.

FS Item is the account you used in SAP consolidation module to execute transactions. So you should follow your consolidation chart of account (if you have one, or you have a report which will show how the business is rolling up the numbers) Also keep in mind that when you define the FS item you also define the "Subassignments" which are the extra additional information which you will required to enter when you use the FS item. For example for FS item for Assets you will required a "Asset Transaction type" for your Consolidation Roll Forwards needed for Assets. Other account groups will require a different Sub assignment. So don't use a predefine one, try to follow the current reports use to roll up the numbers and the different details needed for the sub assignment

It depends whether the context is Public Cloud or Private Cloud/On Premise. Could you specify this?
