1.Controlling Overview
As of SAP Simple Finance Add-On 2.0, the Controlling (CO) and Financial
Accounting (FI) components have been merged. Cost and revenue information stored in the universal journal entry - is always up to date and permanently
reconciled with the income statement. The new Simplified Profitability Analysis is
based on the universal journal entry as well. Therefore, the use of account-based
profitability analysis is a prerequisite.
For all prerequisites and details regarding the migration for Controlling refer to
the SAP Help Portal:

Simple Finance 2.0.

Activation takes some time and can only be executed in Background mode.
Once all errors from the action log have been resolved the operating concern
status will become green meaning that the operating concern is active. Data can
be posted to the operating concern or reports can be executed.
