SAP FICO – Finance & Controlling Course in Doha, Qatar

Configure and use SAP Financial Accounting and Controlling, from company code and general ledger setup to accounts payable, receivable, asset accounting, cost centers and period-end closing.

Course overview

The SAP FICO Finance & Controlling course in Doha, Qatar covers the two finance modules at the heart of SAP: Financial Accounting (FI) for external reporting and Controlling (CO) for internal management accounting. Learners work through enterprise structure settings such as company code, chart of accounts, fiscal year variant and posting periods, then move into general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and asset accounting. The course reflects SAP S/4HANA, where FI and CO share the Universal Journal and customers and vendors are managed as business partners.

Training is hands-on, combining configuration walkthroughs with end-user postings so learners understand both how the system is set up and how finance teams use it daily. Participants create cost centers and profit centers, plan and allocate overheads, run internal orders and complete month-end activities such as foreign currency valuation, depreciation runs and reconciliation. Case studies show how procurement and sales postings integrate with finance. This is practical product training, not official SAP education, and it can run as an in-house program for finance departments.
