Seven SAF concepts are predefined and provided with the system. The predefined SAF concepts are designed to interact with operational transactions, and capture key analysis details used to report the GL effects of operations, such as sales by region, sales to OEM customers, or work orders by item type.

Create user-defined SAF concepts (25.3.7.1) based on your business requirements, and unlike system SAF concepts, they do not automatically retrieve code vales from transactions. Instead, you manually create both the concept and the SAF codes it uses and then select the code or define defaults.

In the above example, the SAF structure produces analysis data on sites, product lines and items (SAF concepts), at the detail level of the SAF codes listed in the table.
