For cost elements between 0004010005 and 0004299999, is the foreign currency
amount credited or debited (-amount).
Revenue is negative in ECC, at reporting level, if the key figure is -1 it would have
affected plan data as well hence done at modeling level.

For Lexmark all G/L accounts are defined with 7 digit length.
1 Reserved / Used for Banking / Assets etc.
2 & 3 Reserved / used for Liabilities / Equity.
4 & 5 Reserved / used for Revenue and COGS (CE category 11, 12).

6999999 reserved for Legacy adjustments- not created as
CE)

8 Reserved / not used

9 Reserved / used for conversion purposes (Replicated with secondary C.E.
S90000..)

All P&L account (G/L accounts can be extended as cost elements)

Functional specification has irrelevant details like response times etc.

Formula, CKF, RKF is incomplete in FS.
Report layout is incomplete.

What is functional area location

business area check mapping only one business area. Only one distribution
channel.
