What learners say

Service charge settlement is genuinely difficult and this is the first material that made the apportionment logic clear.

Meera S., SAP RE-FX Consultant

We implemented RE-FX for IFRS 16 and I needed to understand the valuation runs. The lease-in module was exactly right.

Thomas B., Lease Accounting Manager

A useful specialisation. Few consultants know RE-FX, and retail clients keep asking for it.

Rakesh V., SAP FI Consultant

Frequently asked questions

Is there a certification for RE-FX?

Not a dedicated current associate exam. We prepare you against SAP's RE-FX learning content, and most RE-FX consultants certify in S/4HANA Financial Accounting instead. We say this plainly rather than pointing you at a retired exam code.

Do I need FI knowledge first?

Yes. RE-FX generates accounting documents and interacts with asset accounting, receivables and payables, so FI understanding is important.

Does RE-FX handle IFRS 16?

Yes, for lease-in contracts, with right of use asset and liability postings. We cover valuation, modifications and disclosure reporting.

Is RE-FX still supported in S/4HANA?

Yes, RE-FX is the current real estate solution in S/4HANA. Classic real estate management is the retired predecessor.

Who actually uses RE-FX?

Organisations with significant property: retailers, banks, public sector, universities, hospitals and utilities. Also any company with enough leases to make IFRS 16 painful in spreadsheets.

Is there hands-on access?

Yes, for master data, contracts, posting runs, settlement and lease valuation across all three projects.
