Hi,
In FI you can use BTEs (Business transaction evernts). You can use transaction FIBF to implement BTEs. Following are the steps on how you can implement BTE once you are in transaction FIBF.
<b>[1].</b> first of all you need to find out the suitable BTE for your requirement. There are two kind of interfaces available in SAP for BTEs <b>a).</b> Publish & Subscribe interfaces  and <b>b).</b> Process interfaces .
To do this, choose Environment -> Info system (P/S) or Environment -> Info system (Processes). Execute the program. You should enter "A" as the attribute type. You see the respective interfaces with which the R/3 System provides you. Note the key of the interface which you require. ( key is nothing but the '8' digit / character number ).  All the iterface comes with sample function module. Once you identify the interface which meet your requirement, double-click it and <b>it will show you the sameple function module.</b>
<b>For example</b>, you want the BTE which triggers when the accounting document is being create or changed. You will find this interfaces are under <b>Environment -> Info system (Processes)</b>. The BTEs are,
Key           Description
<b>00001120</b>: DOCUMENT POSTING:  Field substitution header/items
<b>00001430</b>: CHANGE DOCUMENT: Field substitution header/line
If you double click any of this, it will show you the sample function moule name. In this case the sample FM are SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001120 & SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001430 respectively.
<b>Note down the key and sample FM name.</b>
<b>[2].</b> Enter a product using "Settings -> products -> of a Customer. Here you enter the product name in customer name space and give meaningful description. ( do not check "active" check box this time - see step-5 for this ).
<b>[3].</b>  Go to Settings -> P/S function modules or Process function modules -> of a customer. Here you go to either P/S function module or process function module depending of what BTE you are implementing from step-1. If the BTE is from P/S info system you go to P/S function module else the Process function module.
Here you make following entries.
> a) Process ( this key for the interface you selected in step-1 )
> b) Function module ( Enter a custom function module name, here you just give the meaningful name. The function module can be designed once you finish the required settings in transaction FIBF )
> c) The product that you want to use ( this is the product you entered in step-2)
<b>[4].</b>   Now you go to transaction SE37 to design your custom FM. For this you Copy the sample module you note down in step-1 and call it the same as the function module entered in step 3. Fill the source text of the empty function module. Activate the function module.
<b>[5].</b> Now go to transaction FIBF again and go to the menu path as described in Step-2. Now you active the product you entered earlier by checking "active" checkbox.
<b>[6].</b> Run the R/3 transaction / program affected and test whether calling your function module works.
Let me know if you need further information.
