telecommunications tax in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable under Basic Functions -> Telecommunications Taxes -> Archiving.



Extraction to Business Intelligence (BI) (new)

Use

Extraction of Promise to Pay Data

You can now extract all promise to pay data to Business Intelligence (BI). You can run

the extraction as a full upload, as a delta initialization with or without data, and as a

delta update.

Extraction structure:

The extraction structures FKKPPBW_DELTA and FKKPPDBW_DELTA contain all

fields that could be relevant for evaluation in BI. The DataSources 0FC_PP (Promise to

Pay Header) and 0FC_PPD (Amount Due Per Payment Date) deliver all these fields for

extraction.

Full upload/Delta and initialization without data:

Extractor FKK_BW_P2P supports selection of entered dates in full upload or DeltaInit

modes, and transfers promise to pay data from the ERP system to the BW system.

Delta update:

Transactions that create, change, replace, withdraw, reactivate, evaluate, approve or

reject promise to pay data; such as Valuation of Promises to Pay (FP2P), and

Promises to Pay of a Business Partner (FP2P1), set the trigger in trigger table

DFKKP2PBW for mass activity Update Delta Queue (FPBW_EXTRACT) to extract the

data to delta queue.

The Update Delta Queue transaction is found in the SAP Easy Access menu under

Utilities Industry -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Periodic

processing -> Extraction for Business Intelligence.

DeltaInit must be executed once for the delta update function to work. The delta

procedure After Image via Delta Queue (AIM) is used.


Before using promise to pay extraction, you must first activate the extraction.

You can do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting(New) under Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Integration -> Business Intelligence ->

Make Central Settings.

Note

Be aware that DataSource 0FC_PP (Promise to Pay Header) must be activated before

you activate DataSource 0FC_PPD (Amount Due Per Payment Date).



Mass Change of Documents

Use

Account Balance/Mass Change

When you navigate from the account balance to the mass change of documents (for

instance, by choosing Environment -> Account -> Mass Change), the system now

offers only those items for the mass change that you selected in the account balance.

This applies even if you used the Find function after selecting the items to reduce the

number of items in the account balance. Even in that case, the system displays only

the currently displayed items in the mass change.

Selection of Additional Items in Mass Change

In the mass change function for documents, you can now also select and add

additional items, as in the processing of open items. The added items are added at the

bottom of the list; already selected items remain selected.


To have the system offer only the items currently selected in the account balance in the

mass change, define event 1256 and set the indicator E_ADD_CUST-XMCFI in your

implementation. Then register your function module for event 1256 in Customizing for

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Program Enhancements -> Define

Customer-Specific Function Modules.



Cash Journal

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the following

enhancements to the reversal function for payment documents in the cash desk:

Selection of payment documents to be reversed

You can select payment documents for reversal based on any date, the current date, or

an entry time period, as well as based on the number of the payment document.

Before you reverse a document, you can go to the detail display of the payment

document.

Reversal

You can reverse multiple payment documents together in one step.

For the posting of the reversal, you enter the reconciliation key, the clearing reason,

and the reversal date.

You can reverse payment documents that are in payment lots that are already closed.

This allows you, for example, to reverse check payments if you discover later on that a

check is not covered.

You can also reverse mixed payments that consist of more than one payment category.

Example: A customer pays a receivable of 100 with 50 in cash and 50 as a check. You

can then reverse either the partial amount of 50 for each of the given payment

categories, or you can reverse the entire payment of 100.

Display

You can display reversed payments in the cash balance and in the historical data of the

cash desk. This enables you to get a better overview of the activities of the cash desks

in a branch.

Cash Journal

In addition to the cash desk, you can also access this enhanced reversal function from

the cash journal.


In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Business

Transactions -> Payments -> Processing Incoming and Outgoing Payments ->

Cash Desk/Cash Journal -> Maintain Role-Specific Activities for Cash Journal, set

the Maintain Role-Specific Activities for Cash Journal indicator to assign the

authorization for reversing to a role. SAP provides this setting for the roles branch office

manager and cashier with special tasks.



Closing Operations (New)

Use

Reclassification by Due Date

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can display open but not yet

due items according to their due date in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable,

and post reclassifications for these items. It is also possible for the system to consider

installment plans when determining the due date. In that case, the due date of an

assigned installment overrides the original due date of the open item.


You can enter the G/L accounts you want to use as adjustment accounts and target

accounts. You enter this for each company code, G/L account, and grid interval. In

Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, choose Closing

Operations -> Reclassifications -> Define Adjustment Accounts for Reclassification by Due Date.



Collections Management (New)

Use

BRF Traces

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can record BRF traces.

Using a BRF trace, you can, in individual cases, interpret decisions of the Business

Rules Framework (BRF), and based on this you can make targeted adjustments to the

check rules in the Business Rules Framework (BRF).

You trigger the recording of a BRF trace in the dunning proposal run by setting the

Trace Active indicator on the Dunning Parameters tab page. (On the SAP Easy

Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> For Contract Accounts -> Dunning -

> Dunning Proposal Run.)

To ease the load on your database, enter an amount of time after which the BRF trace

is released to be deleted. Enter this in the Days Until Trace Deleted field. Based on

the number of days you enter, the system determines the date the trace expires and

stores this date in the trace data record. The system automatically proposes 30 days.

However, you can change this value. If you do not enter a value, the system

automatically sets the expiration date to December 31, 9999.

Once the expiration date has been reached, the system deletes the BRF trace

automatically the next time the dunning proposal run is executed.

In the case of BRF traces with the expiration date December 31, 9999, the system

never deletes them automatically. It is only possible for you to delete these BRF traces

manually. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Delete

Data -> BRF Traces. You can also use the same transaction to directly delete BRF

traces that do have an expiration date.

You can display recorded BRF traces using these methods:

o Using the report Collections Management: Display BRF Trace

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> For Contract

Accounts -> Dunning -> By Collection Strategy -> Display BRF Traces.

o In the dunning proposal run

You can also call the report directly in the dunning proposal run. Enter the date

ID and the run ID of the run you want. Choose the @10@ Trace pushbutton on

the Dunning Parameters tab page.

o In the dunning history

To access the dunning history from the dunning proposal run, in the menu

choose Environment -> Dunning History. Or on the SAP Easy Access screen,

choose Account -> Further Information. Then in the history display, choose the

@10@ Trace pushbutton. Or from the menu, choose Goto -> Display BRF

Trace. Here you can display BRF traces using different selections. You can

select by dunning proposal run using the date ID and run ID. Or you can display

for business partners, contract account groups, collection steps, and collection

strategies.

Displaying for contract accounts and business partners is only possible here if

the system has actually generated dunning headers.

If the system did not generate any dunning notices, you can access the above report

only by means of the BRF trace.

Updating Collection Strategies

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can update collection

strategies at the master data level (contract account, contract account group, contract,



contract group). To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic

Processing -> For Contract Accounts -> Dunning -> By Collection Strategy ->

Update Collection Strategies.

You have two options. You can explicitly enter which collection strategy in the master

data you want to replace with a new strategy. Or you can enter a test series that the

run uses to replace the collection strategy.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, by choosing Periodic Processing -> For Contract

Accounts -> Dunning -> By Collection Strategy -> Edit Updated Collection

Strategies, you can

o Display the log for an update run

o Run an update run again in the case of errors

o Reverse an update run



Processing of Worklists by Collections Manager (New)

Use

As of enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now use the SAP IC

WebClient business role FICACM for managing worklists in Collection Management in

addition to the SAP GUI transaction Manage Worklists. You access this new function

on the SAP Easy Access screen under Periodic Processing -> For Contract

Accounts -> Dunning -> By Collection Strategy. As in the SAP GUI transaction, a

manager (person responsible for a collection center) or group leader (person

responsible for a unit) can:

o Generate new worklists by grouping work items

o Assign work items to units and/or specialists

o Change attributes of a worklist

o Reverse work items

o Reopen work items

In addition to the functions in the SAP GUI transaction, a manager or group leader with

the SAP IC WebClient business role can:

o Change who is responsible for work items, that is, move work items from one

worklist to another

o Remove work items temporarily from processing

o Get an overview of the assignment of work items to units and departments



Credit Clarification (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use additional functions

for processing credits (SAP Easy Access screen: Account -> Process Credits). This

includes simultaneous processing of multiple credits in one step for all allowed

functions, such as, payment, transfer, payment by check, and write-off.

In addition, you can now enter partial amounts in all credit processing processes. For

example, you can pay out different partial amounts of different items together in one

step by creating a repayment request for them.

In credit clarification (SAP Easy Access screen Payments -> Credit -> Clarification),

it is not possible to clarify multiple clarification cases at the same time (the individual

clarification cases have and retain their own status management); however, you can

enter partial amounts there.

The function brings the following changes in the individual processes:

o Payment

The system creates a repayment request for all selected items that have the

same account assignments for Segment, Business Area and Profit Center. If

the mentioned account assignments are different for the different selected items,

then the system creates multiple repayment requests accordingly.

To have the payment run process the repayment requests, you have to set the

Repayment Requests indicator in the payment run parameters (as usual).

o Transfer

The system does not effect the changes to the selected items (entries of bank

details and payment method) using document changes. Instead, the system

creates a payment specification for all selected items, and notes the entered

payment data in the header of the payment specification. To have the payment

run select and process these payment specifications later, you have to set the

Payment Specifications indicator in the parameters for item selection in the

payment run.

o Check

The system creates a repayment request for all selected items.

o Write-Off

The system writes off the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items together.

o Clearing

The system clears the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items against the

open items of the business partner, the contract account, or the contract.

The system displays the selected open items and activates the selected items.

Then you can activate any applicable additional items in dialog mode and

thereby clear the credit.

o Business Partner Transfer

The system transfers the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items to the

specified business partner.

o General Ledger Transfer

The system transfers the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items to the

general ledger account that you entered using the short account.


You activate credit processing in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable under Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Basic Settings ->



Maintain Central Settings for Posting by setting the Enhanced Credit

Processing indicator.



Dunning

Use

Use of Preselections for Business Partners and Contract Accounts

You can now use preselections for master data in the dunning proposal run to select

business partners or contract accounts. This is like the existing function, for example, in

the item list (that you access on the SAP Easy access screen, by choosing Periodic

Processing -> Open Item Evaluations -> Execute Evaluation).

You define preselections from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Periodic

Processing -> Technical Preparations -> Define Preselection. In each preselection,

you group together a set of master data based on the master data attributes of your

choice (such as, all business partners with an address in Chicago).

The dunning run treats master records included in the preselection as single values

that you enter for business partners or master data. The system checks the

preselections against the interval limits of the mass activity. In each interval, therefore,

the dunning run processes only those master records that are both within the interval

limits and are part of the preselection.



New Events

External Cash Desk Services (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the new enterprise

service CashPointClosingDocumentERPCancelNotification_In to process reversals

of cash desk closings (sent using the notification

CashPointClosingDocumentNotification_In).

This enables you to reverse a cash desk closing that was transmitted incorrectly by the

front end, so that you can replace it with the correct cash desk closing that was sent

subsequently.

Example

1. An external cash desk (front end) sends 10 messages with payments for a total

amount of 500 to the SAP system (back end).

2. At the end of the day, you receive a cash desk closing message for 495 from this

external cash desk.

i. You receive a message for each cash desk, branch, and grouping

key.

3. The system records the reported cash desk closing in tables DFKKEXC_SUM and

DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.

4. The system recognizes the difference of 5 between the amounts. On the Monitor

for External Cash Desk Services screen, on the Overview tab page, the system

displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments. It also shows a

reconciliation amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing.

i. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays a payment

amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing, and a

Difference to be assigned of 5.

ii. Due to the difference between the amount of the reported

payments and the cash desk closing, you cannot post a receivable

to the agent account (agent posting).

5. The external cash desk now sends you a message for reversing the cash desk

closing in the amount of 495.

6. In table DFKKEXC_SUM (totals records for external payment information), the

system sets reconciliation status C for the reversed cash desk closing. In table

DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST (cash desk closing history), the system records the reversal

of the cash desk closing, also with reconciliation status C.

7. The Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services now

displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments, but no longer shows

a reconciliation amount. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays the

following for the reported cash desk closing: the payment amount of 495 with

reconciliation status C (Totals Record Reversed ), and a Difference to be

assigned of 500.

8. After that, the external cash desk sends you another cash desk closing message –

now with the correct amount of 500.


DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.

10. The Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services now

displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments.


amount of 500 for the reported cash desk closing, and no longer



shows a Difference to be assigned.

11. Now you can enter the agent posting. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose

Payments -> External Cash Desk Services -> Post Agent Receivable.

You also have the option of correcting the cash desk closing manually in the Monitor for

External Cash Desk Services.

Example

1. An external cash desk (front end) sends 10 messages with payments for a total

amount of 500 to the SAP system (back end).

2. At the end of the day, you receive a cash desk closing message for 495 from this

external cash desk.

i. You receive a message for each cash desk, branch, and grouping

key.


DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.

4. The system recognizes the difference of 5 between the amounts. On the Monitor

for External Cash Desk Services screen, on the Overview tab page, the system

displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments. It also shows a

reconciliation amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing.


amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing, and a

Difference to be assigned of 5.

5. You notice the discrepancy and contact the branch. The employee there informs

you that the cash desk closing was for 500 and that only the message contains the

wrong amount.

6. On the Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services, you

select the affected entry and choose the @0Z@ Cash Desk Closing pushbutton.

7. In the dialog box that appears, you change the item total of the grouping key to 500

and confirm your entry.

8. The system records the cash desk closing with reconciliation status U (Updated

Manually), both in table DFKKEXC_SUM (totals records for external payment

information) and in table DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST (cash desk closing history).

9. Now you can enter the agent posting. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose

Payments -> External Cash Desk Services -> Post Agent Receivable.

In the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services, you can choose the @HJ@ History

of Cash Desk Closing pushbutton on the Overview and Agent Postings tab pages to

analyze changes made to the cash desk closing. This means that you can see the XI

messages received for a cash desk closing, and you can see any changes made

manually. To do so, select an entry in the list and choose the @HJ@ History of Cash

Desk Closing pushbutton. As long as the history recorded data for the selected entry

(for the combination of branch, cash desk, and grouping key), the system displays this

data.



Replication and Synchronization of Business Partner Data

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can replicate and

synchronize business partners in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. By

replicating and synchronizing business partners, you can synchronize business partner

data from Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with the data of customers and

vendors in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA).

To perform this synchronization, the system makes use of the existing functions of

CRM Middleware, in addition to the customer and vendor integration.

You can access the new transactions for creating, changing and displaying from the

SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -

> Master Data -> Business Partner:

o Customer/Customer Integration

o Supplier/Vendor Integration

See also

For more information, see SAP Library under SAP ERP -> SAP ERP Central

Component -> SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) -> Basic

Functions -> SAP Business Partner in the section Business Partner Replication and

Synchronization.



Information Containers (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, for data in information container

categories that you transfer by XI message, you can now also send this data using

Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM) for asynchronous enterprise services.

The WSRM send type is available for the following information container categories:

o 0001 (returns) with service operation

PaymentReturnERPOccuredBulkNotification_Out

o 0002 (clearing and clearing resets) with service operation

ContractAccountReceivablesPayablesRegisterERPSubscribedItemBulkNotificati

on_Out

To make it possible to send using WSRM, you have to configure the send type in

Customizing. In addition, you have to configure the following service groups in

SOAMANAGER:

o FKK_PAYRETBULKOCCNO for information container category 0001

o FKK_CARPRSUBSCRITEMBULKNO for information container category 0002

The recipient field of the information container is used for logical determination of the

recipient in SOAMANAGER. You can determine the values for the recipients of an

information container entry in a function module entered for event 3701.

If you have implemented your own information container categories and you want to

send the related enterprise service using WSRM, then you have to implement the new

method SEND_VIA_WSRM of interface IF_FKK_INFCO_TYPE accordingly.


Configure the send type for WSRM in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable

and Payable under Integration -> Information Container -> Make Settings for

Information Container -> Deferral and Installment Plans (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can influence the priority

with which original items of installment plans are cleared when payments are received.

You can now assign numerical values to the original items when you create an

installment plan. These numbers specify the clearing priority for the original items of the installment plan when payments are received later.


Set the ClrgPriority (clearing priority) indicator in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Business Transactions -> Deferral and Installment

Plans -> Activate Additional Installment Plan Enhancement.Categories.



Integration (New)

Use

Transfer to General Ledger Accounting: Aggregation of Reconciliation Keys

Mass activities with jobs running in parallel, in which documents are posted, use a

separate reconciliation key for each job. As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP

ERP 6.0, you can aggregate these reconciliation keys under a single reconciliation key

(aggregation key) before the transfer to general ledger accounting. As a result, you

transfer only the totals records of the aggregation key. This enables you to reduce the

number of posting items in the general ledger.

You have two options. You can set up automatic aggregation in Customizing that is

then applied when the mass activity is run. Or you can request a manual aggregation

after the mass activity is run. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Document ->

Reconciliation Key -> Aggregate.

Reconciliation Between Open Items and G/L

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can link the reconciliation

report RFKKOP10 to the SAP Solution Manager to be able to monitor the status of the

reconciliation with the general ledger there (see SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic

Processing -> Forward Postings -> Reconciliation -> Reconcile Open Items) .

Integration with SAP Credit Management: Web Services Reliable Messaging

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit Management in a single or multiple system

landscape without an XI server. This means that you can connect an instance of

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable directly with SAP Credit Management

without using an XI server. Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit

Management can be running in the same system or in separate systems.

The prerequisite for this is as follows: You have installed enhancement package 5 for

both Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit Management, and

you activated the business function FSCM Functions 3 (FIN_FSCM_CCD_3).

Activating a business function in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is not a

requirement.

You set up the connection between SAP Credit Management and Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable by configuring the appropriate endpoints and logical ports in

SOA Manager.

Message exchange takes place using Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM),

which guarantees the transfer of messages and monitors the correct sequence of

incoming messages.

Integration with SAP Credit Management: Transferring Key Figures of Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the asynchronous

service CreditPaymentBehaviourSummaryNotification_Out to transfer key figures from

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable to SAP Credit Management. Up to now,

this service was sent using the mass activity Transfer Credit Data (on the SAP Easy

Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Forward Data to SAP Credit

Management). However, the system also fills the PropertyValuation of the service, in

which the characteristics of the individual key figures are filled. You define in

Customizing which key figures you want to transfer.

The Transfer Credit Data mass activity now also transfers business partners who

have negative payment behavior. In event 4511 you can specify the time period in



which business partners are transferred.

The system can calculate the following standard key figures and transfer them to SAP

Credit Management:

o Open items

o Payment methods

o Payments

o Collections

o Dunning notices

o Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)

o Promises to pay

o Returns

o Deferrals and installment plans

o Write-offs

You can add your own data to these standard key figures in event 4509.

In addition, in event 4510 you can also define your own key figures, fill them, and then

send them along with the standard key figures using the PropertyValuation of the

service to SAP Credit Management.

In SAP Credit Management there is a new synchronous service

CreditManagementAccountERPPaymentBehaviourSummaryByDebtorPartyQueryResp

onse_In. This service also contains the PropertyValuation. If the service calls Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable from SAP Credit Management, then the system

calculates the key figures to be transferred.

Integration with SAP Credit Management: Compare Creditworthiness

If monthly credit weighting was specified in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable, and the credit score of the business partner changes, this

information does not arrive automatically in SAP Credit Management. Therefore, the

credit score of the business partner changes over time in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable, but the business partner does not receive a new

creditworthiness entry in SAP Credit Management. As of SAP enhancement package 5

for SAP ERP 6.0, using the mass activity Compare Score with Last Replication, you

can identify business partners whose credit score has changed since the last

replication in SAP Credit Management (on the SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic

Processing -> Forward Data to SAP Credit Management -> Compare Credit

Score). The mass activity identifies the business partners for which you have to

transfer data again. The actual transfer is made (as before) using the mass activity

Replication of Score (see SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic Processing ->

Forward Data to SAP Credit Management -> Replicate Creditworthiness).

Integration with Funds Management

If you use the fund as a balancing unit in the general ledger, then event 0032 no longer

generates zero balance items in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. Instead,

the system generates the zero balance items for each fund; this is done directly in the

general ledger when the postings are transferred from Contract Accounts Receivable

and Payable to the general ledger.




Transfer to General Ledger Accounting: Aggregation of Reconciliation Keys

If you want the system to perform aggregation automatically when a mass activity is

run, then enter the necessary reservation objects in Customizing for Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration -> General Ledger Accounting -

> Specify Aggregation of Reconciliation Keys.

Integration with SAP Credit Management: Transferring Key Figures from Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable

You make settings for transferring key figures from Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable to SAP Credit Management in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable

under Integration -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Credit Management -

> Key Figures in the following activities:

o Key Figures for Transfer to Credit Management

o Define Specifications for Key Figures for Credit Management

o Specify Evaluation Period for Key Figures

You can access program RFKK_MASS_ACT_PARAMETER_DELETE on the SAP

Easy Access screen under Periodic Processing -> Administration of Mass

Processing -> Delete Parameter Records. This program deletes only entries from the

following tables of the framework of mass activities:

o FKKDIHDTMP

o FKKDIPOTMP

o FKKDIPOTMPCOUNT

o FKKDIJOB

o FKKDISTOP

o RFDT

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can also delete additional

data when you delete parameter records by defining event 1792 accordingly.

Select the appropriate indicator on the initial screen to ensure that event 1792 is

processed in program RFKK_MASS_ACT_PARAMETER_DELETE.


You define installation-specific function modules in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Program Enhancements -> Define Customer-Specific Function Modules .



Postings and Documents

Use

Horizontal Scrolling in Open Item Processing

You can create display variants in Customizing to be used for open item processing,

such as, in account maintenance or in making payment assignments.

A display area, which is variable to a limited extent, is available for the fields belonging

to a display variant. The status column forms the boundary on the left side; on the right

side, the boundary is formed by the columns for the amount fields, which should always

be visible on the screen. For display variants with many fields, therefore, the width of

the variable area may not be sufficient, so that not all fields are displayed.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can scroll horizontally

through the fields of the display variant within the variable display area. To activate

horizontal scrolling, choose the Change Display pushbutton. In the dialog box, there

are two parameters for horizontal scrolling:

o You can use the first parameter to activate the function. Once the function is

active, new pushbuttons for horizontal scrolling appear on the screen on the right

side above the item list.

o Using the second parameter, you can specify how many columns of the display

variant remain fixed when you scroll. You can thereby ensure that important

information is always displayed, and is not hidden by horizontal scrolling.

Example

Your display variant begins with a document number followed by other fields. During

horizontal scrolling, you want the column with the document number to remain fixed

and always be visible. Therefore, you enter the value 1 in the Fixed Columns field.



Transferring Items and Requests (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use a new program in

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for transferring open business partner

items and requests at the same time. You can access this new program in the area

menu for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Account -> Transfer Items

and Requests.

If you only want to transfer open business partner items, this program offers the same

functions as the existing program for transferring open items that you can access from

the SAP Easy Access screen under Account -> Transfer Items. Both programs use the

same Customizing settings and the same limitations apply to both programs.

The following applies if you transfer requests that are not yet closed: then the program

sets the status Transferred and Deleted for all selected requests, standing requests,

and general requests, and generates a new request of the same type. In doing so, the

program replaces the source master data (business partner, contract account, and

contract) with the target master data. The program copies all other posting information

from the source request. The program adjusts the execution dates of the new standing

requests so that only due dates are considered for which no documents have been

generated yet. When you have transferred requests, the programs for editing requests

display the number of the transfer request or the transferred request.


To document the reasons for the transfer, you can enter transfer reasons in

Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. There you can also

define specifications and default values to automate the creation of transfer documents.

You make these settings in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable under Business Transactions -> Transfers.

Enhanced Consistency Checks for Documents (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use an enhanced

consistency check for documents in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

Using the new functions of the enhanced consistency check, you can find documents

that have certain inconsistencies. We recommend that you use the enhanced

consistency check when you use your own customer programs. The report analyzes

inconsistencies that typically arise when customer programs are used that change

records in the document table DFKKOP, if processes also run at the same time that

generate clearings or clearing resets.

You can use the new functions to analyze the inconsistent documents. The system

gives information about what the correct status of the data should be.

You can access the new transactions described below from the SAP Easy Access

screen by choosing Periodic Processing -> Enhanced Consistency Checks.

o Execute Check Run

You can use this transaction to check the consistency of documents. The

program runs in the background, analyzes the selected documents, and finds

inconsistencies.

o Edit Check Results

You use this transaction to run the consistency check in dialog mode. Check the

selected documents with the Check Documents function. The system displays

the check results. You can analyze documents with errors in the worklist using

the Analyze Document function.

o Edit Check History

If you ran the consistency check of the documents using background processing,

you can analyze the results showing the documents with errors with this

transaction. To do so, choose the Details on Document function for a document

in the worklist of incorrect documents. The system displays the error details and

the way the document should look correctly to assist you in correcting the

incorrect document.

o Delete Worklist Check Run

If the enhanced consistency check is active, when documents are posted, the

system updates the worklist (trigger table DFKK_SG_TRIG) with the documents

that are to be checked (that is, documents that cause clearing or reset clearing).

When you activate the enhanced consistency check you define a residence time

for the trigger table. If the residence time of the worklist has been exceeded, you

can delete the table using this transaction.


You activate the enhanced consistency check in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Technical Settings -> Activate Enhanced

Consistency Checks.

You can also activate the enhanced consistency checks from the SAP Easy Access

screen by choosing Settings -> Current Settings -> Activate Enhanced

Consistency Check.

SAP delivers the enhanced consistency check as inactive.

Note that you first have to activate the enhanced consistency check in order to be able

to analyze documents using the functions of the enhanced consistency check. If you

activate the enhanced consistency check at a given point in time, you cannot use the



new functions to analyze old documents that are older than that point in time.



Connection of Schedule Manager in FI-CA

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now also schedule the

following programs, periodically executed using the program RFKK_MA_SCHEDULER

(Schedule Mass Activities), using the Schedule Manager. (On the SAP Easy

Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Administration of Mass

Processing).

Subapplication in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, by activating a subapplication,

you can control the use of the Reference Specifications from Contract field

individually for each industry. This means that the Contract field can thereby relate to

different contract master data in each subapplication.

The standard value for the subapplication is SPACE.

Up to now, a subapplication was already available in the industry component Public

Sector Contract Accounting for real estate contracts of Flexible Real Estate

Management (RE-FX).

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, a subapplication for contracts of

Sales and Distribution (SD) is available for the industry component Utilities.

You can use the number of the SD contract as a selection criterion in the transactions

for processing incoming payments (such as, payment lot, cash desk). To do this,

proceed as follows:

1. Define a selection category "SD Contract" in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions -> Open Item Management ->

Specify Selection Categories.

2. Enter the field name VBELN.

3. Set the indicator to designate the selection category as an external selection

criterion.

4. Enter function module FKK_SAMPLE_0210_VTREFSUBAPC for event 0210.


You activate the subapplication in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable under Basic Functions -> Activate Subapplication.



Update of External Tax Systems (New)

Use

Parallel Tax Update for External Tax Systems

In the U.S.A., external tax systems, such as VERTEX, TAXWARE, SABRIX, are

frequently used for calculating taxes and for recording tax data for later tax reporting.

Up to now, the relevant tax data was updated in FI-CA using report RFYTXF00 or

RFYTXU00. Using these reports, it is not possible to update the external tax systems

by means of parallel processing.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now update the external

tax systems using a mass activity and thereby make use of parallel processing. Parallel

processing assists in speeding up the update.

After you have activated this new tax update variant in Customizing, you can call the

mass activity from the SAP Easy Access screen under Periodic Processing ->

Transfer Tax Data -> Update External Tax Systems.


To activate the parallel update of external tax systems, in Customizing for Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable, choose Basic Functions -> Postings and

Documents -> Basic Settings -> Maintain Central Posting Settings.

On the screen that appears, select the Parallel Tax Update for U.S.A. checkbox. Also

see the documentation (F1 help) for this field, which contains additional technical

information.



Withholding Tax (New)

Use

Withholding Tax: Posting with Invoice

Vendor withholding tax is tax that is deducted when a company pays a business

partner. For this type of tax, it was previously only possible to agree that the posting

was made at the time of the payment.

When this was done, the system identified the gross amount (including the withholding

tax) as a liability. When the liability was paid, the system deducted the withholding tax

from the payment amount, and posted the withholding tax to an account for withholding

tax to be paid.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can already post the

withholding at the time you post the vendor invoice.

The Posting Specifications

In the most simple example - without withholding tax - the posting of a liability would

look as follows:

80.00 Liability to business partner (open item)

80.00 Expense

If we now consider 25 percent withholding tax, which we want to post directly with the

invoice, the document would look as follows:

80.00 Liability to business partner, split into

... 60.00 open subitem

... 20.00 subitem, immediately cleared

[ 20.00] Clearing item for withholding tax amount

80.00 Expense

20.00 Withholding tax to be paid

There is an immediate partial clearing of the liability item in the amount of the withheld

tax; to offset this, the system posts the withholding tax to be paid.

In the subitem that is immediately cleared, the system enters the subitem’s own

document number, with the clearing reason Withholding Tax Deduction at Time of

Invoicing.

The system supports the posting of withholding tax with the invoice even if several

amounts need to be deducted by means of withholding tax supplements. This applies

even if these supplements are variable, meaning that amounts or percentages can be

entered directly in the line item. In these cases, the document display shows the detail

data for the withholding tax supplements next to the immediately cleared subitem.

Withholding Tax: Posting Partially with the Invoice and Partially at Payment

You can also post the withholding tax and withholding tax supplements at different

points in time. For each combination of a withholding tax code and withholding tax

supplement, you can specify when the posting for the withholding tax supplement

should take place:

o At the same time as the posting of the withholding tax (standard setting)



o Always at the time of the invoice

o Always at the time of the payment


You can make all the necessary settings for withholding tax in Customizing for

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions ->

Withholding Tax.

To specify for a withholding tax indicator that posting should take place at the time of

invoicing, choose the Enter Additional Specifications for Vendor Withholding Tax

IMG activity.

Note that the setting Posting with Invoice for vendor withholding tax takes

precedence over the general setting Posting with Payment that you can choose when

defining the withholding tax code. The general setting Posting with Payment is then

valid only for customer withholding tax, that is, the withholding tax that your customers

can withhold when making payments to you.

If you want to specify that a withholding tax supplement for a withholding tax code is

posted at a different time, then process the Define Allowed Entries for Withholding

Tax Supplements IMG activity.



Telecommunications Tax (New)

Use

Telecommunications Tax in Telecommunications Industry in the U.S.A. and Canada

The components SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC) and SAP Convergent Invoicing

(SAP CI) process services in the area of telecommunications (such as telephone calls

and SMS) through to the invoicing of the customer.

SAP Convergent Charging performs the task of pricing individual services and

determining the invoice recipient; SAP Convergent Invoicing performs the tasks of

summarizing the priced services in invoices that are sent to customers, along with the

posting of these invoices in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. The two

components run in separate systems.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, SAP Convergent Charging and

SAP Convergent Invoicing support the calculation and reporting of telecommunications

tax by external tax systems in the U.S.A.

The external tax system is integrated with SAP Convergent Charging. The first tax

calculation for a transaction (such as, a phone call or SMS) normally takes place in the

external system in order to determine the gross price for the transaction.

A new tax calculation is made within SAP Convergent Invoicing; after the posting

document is generated for invoicing, the data is updated to the external tax system. To

do this, SAP Convergent Invoicing calls functions of SAP Convergent Charging that are

especially for calculating and managing tax data. In the standard system there is no

direct interface between SAP Convergent Invoicing and the external system for

telecommunications tax. Implicitly, the tax software is used that is also used by SAP

Convergent Charging.

The basic data for the tax calculation includes the base amount, the type of

communication service, the tax date, and various location codes (such as, the

originating address of the phone call, the target address, and the address of the invoice

recipient). This basic data is transferred by SAP Convergent Charging to SAP

Convergent Invoicing as attributes of billable items. To make this possible, you have to

make sure that the necessary fields are available when you configure the billable items.

(For more information see the Effects on Customizing section.)

Tax Data in the Posting Document

The posting document of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable stores both the

starting data for the tax calculation (tax base items) and the tax data itself (tax items).

You can display these items in the document display.

The document items that are used for posting the tax amounts to the general ledger

differ in the following ways from document items for taxes on sales/purchases or for

sales and use tax (in the U.S.A.):

o Since an invoice can contain a large number of telephone calls and SMS that are

all taxed differently, there is a potentially high number of tax items. However, you

want to avoid a correspondingly high number of posting items. Therefore the

system determines only the G/L account to be posted and the tax code to be

used from Customizing. The amounts of all tax items, for which the same G/L

account and tax code were derived, are added up and comprise only one posting

item. In the simplest case, this could mean that hundreds of tax items are

represented by one posting item.

o The system recognizes the posting item itself as a tax posting for

telecommunications tax based on an internal indicator; the KTOSL field in the

document item receives the value UCT. The tax code is not a tax code for



sales/purchases; instead it is an other tax code that is designated in

Customizing for telecommunications tax. In the document item, therefore, the

field MWSKZ is not set; instead the field STRKZ is set.

For the posted G/L account, this means that you are not allowed to make any

setting in the master record for the tax category. The tax category always relates

to tax on sales/purchases or sales and use tax, but not to telecommunications

tax. In the same way, you have to either set the posted receivables and revenue

accounts as not tax relevant or set the Posting Without Tax Allowed indicator.

o Since the posting items for telecommunications tax contain totaled amounts that

are based on different base amounts and different tax rates, it is not possible to

enter a meaningful base amount or tax rate in these posting items. In order to

nonetheless make it possible to check the correctness of the tax posting, each

tax item is linked to the posting item into which its amount flows.

o As long as telecommunications tax was calculated for business partner items

(receivables, payables) of a document in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable, then the Other Tax Code indicator is set in these items. If all document

items with which taxes were posted have the same tax code, then the tax code is

also inherited by the related business partner items. If there are different other

tax codes then the value ** is set in the business partner item. The Other Tax

Code indicator is always set automatically in the business partner item in the

case of telecommunications tax. If there were other initially set values, these are

overwritten by this automatic function.

o No other tax code is entered in revenue items.

Archiving of Tax Data of Accounting Documents

Documents with telecommunications tax normally contain considerably more tax base

items and tax items than posting items. The tax base items and tax items are not

needed except for the document display and for some selected follow-on postings,

such as reversal or write-off. Therefore it makes sense to archive these items earlier

than the remaining document data.

For this reason, the tax base items and tax items are managed using a separate

archiving object. The technical name is FI_MKKUSTX. If necessary, the items

belonging to a document can also be read from the archive, so that early archiving

does not represent a functional limitation.

Updating the External Tax System

When a document is posted in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable that

contains telecommunications tax, the tax data is updated at the same time to the

external tax system. SAP Convergent Invoicing uses a Remote Function Call (RFC) to

call a function in SAP Convergent Charging. If problems arise - for example because

the Convergent Charging system is temporarily unavailable - then the document is

parked for updating later to the external tax system. You can process the parked

documents later using the report RFKK_COMMTAX_UPD. We recommend that you

run the report at least once a day.

Effects on Special Postings

There are special considerations for documents that contain tax items for

telecommunications tax in regard to certain posting transactions:

Reversal

During reversal the tax information is inherited from the document being reversed. The

system reverses the plus/minus sign of the amounts and reports the resulting data to

the external system.

Write-off



When writing off receivables, you have the option of correcting the taxes in a manner

corresponding to the amount written off. If tax on sales/purchases or sales and use tax

was posted, it is known how much tax was due on which receivables item. If

telecommunications tax arose, and the document contains multiple receivables items,

then it is no longer possible to determine which tax amount originated from which

receivables item. If you write off only part of an invoicing document, therefore, the tax

arising for it is calculated in a routine that you have to make available especially for

your installation. In Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable you can use event

0415 for determining partial tax amounts. SAP provides only a sample for this.

Transfer

If telecommunications tax was posted, it is currently not possible to transfer business

partner items to other contract accounts; this is because it is not possible to ensure the

correct tax handling of a following write-off or a following reversal.

Special Issues When Using SAP Convergent Invoicing Without SAP Convergent

Charging

If you are not using SAP Convergent Charging as the feeder system for SAP

Convergent Invoicing, then the functions for calculating taxes and updating an external

tax system are not available in the form described above. In that case, you have to

program your own installation-specific link between the external tax system and SAP

Convergent Invoicing. You need a function for calculating the taxes and another

function for reporting the posting of taxes to the external system. To implement these

functions you can use the events 0414 (calculation of taxes) and 0413 (updating of

external tax system). You have to create the appropriate function modules for these

events and register them in Customizing.


Preparing Billable Items for Telecommunications Tax

When you are using SAP Convergent Invoicing, billable items form the most important

basis for the creation of billing documents, which in turn then form the basis for the

invoices that are created for customers.

Billable items contain the data that is required for calculating the amount of the

receivable and taxes, along with additional data for creating the posting items or

printing the invoice.

The actual data that is involved depends primarily on your business processes and how

you set them up. Therefore, you configure the structure of your billable items in your

Customizing system as best suits your needs. To assist you, SAP provides

preconfigured data blocks that are called interface components. Each interface

component contains at least one data field, but generally contains a number of fields

that logically belong together. For the data that has to be transferred in billable items

for telecommunications tax, we provide the interface component Basic Data for

Telecommunications Tax (U.S.A.) with the technical name USCOMMTAX. You have

to select this interface component when you configure the structure for billable items.

In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration ->

Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Maintain Billable Item

Classes, you specify for each billable item class which interface components are linked

to it.

Preparing Tax Postings

To be able to generate posting items from the tax items that represent the calculated

taxes, you have to derive a G/L account and a tax code for each tax item.

The tax code provides information only. It appears in the document display and

optionally also in certain lists and reports. It is sufficient to define a single tax code for



telecommunications tax. Only if you want to separate posting items for taxes according

to certain criteria, although the same G/L account is posted, do you then have to create

several tax codes for this purpose.

You specify the tax codes in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable under Basic Functions -> Telecommunications Tax -> Define Tax Code

for Telecommunications Tax. You create the tax codes as other tax codes. You can

potentially use these other tax codes for other purposes than for telecommunications

tax. Therefore it is important that you set the Telecommunications Tax attribute for

the tax codes you create here.

Whether you need one or more G/L accounts for posting telecommunications tax

depends on the accounting principles you use and your own internal guidelines. Before

you perform the next Customizing steps, you have to first clarify which G/L accounts

you need and when which account should be posted.

The system derives the G/L account to be posted and the tax code for each tax item. In

doing so, the system can use the following attributes of a tax item to make a direct

derivation:

o Company code

o Tax type

o Tax level

In addition, you have the option of deriving two additional characteristics for each tax

item; these can also be used for account determination and for determining the tax

code. To derive the additional attributes Tax Characteristic 1/2, you have to write an

appropriate function module and register it at event 0410.

Example

The tax item contains the Tax Type field. The technical name is

DFKKOPUSTAXOUT00-TXTYP. This field can have numerous different values. If you

divide the tax types into two or three groups, so that the same G/L account can be

assigned for each group, then you have the following options:

o You can make an entry in Customizing for each tax type. Then numerous entries

point to the same G/L account.

o Using event 0410, you can assign a group to each tax item based on its tax type.

For example you can assign group G1 to tax type 000000 - 000100 and group

G2 to 000101 - 999999. The key of the group is then returned as Tax

Characteristic 1. In Customizing in this example you then only have to make

two entries - one for Tax Characteristic 1 = G1 and one for Tax Characteristic 1 =

G2.

To register a function module for event 0410, in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable choose Program Enhancements -> Define Customer-

Specific Function Modules.

You define the derivation of the G/L account and the tax code in Customizing for

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions ->

Telecommunications Taxes-> Define Account Assignments for Posting

Telecommunications Tax. First use the key selection to specify which characteristics

you want to use for the derivation.

Technical settings

You can make technical settings for saving the tax data. In Customizing for Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable, choose Basic Functions -> Telecommunications



Taxes -> Make Technical Settings for Data Storage.

To be able to calculate telecommunications tax from SAP Convergent Invoicing, and to

update tax data in an external system, SAP Convergent Invoicing calls functions of

SAP Convergent Charging using RFC. To make this possible, you have to set up the

necessary RFC destinations as TCP/IP connections in your live system. (On the SAP

Easy Access screen, choose Tools -> Administration -> Administration -> Network

-> RFC Destinations). In the application menu of your live system, you then specify

which RFC destinations are to be used for tax calculation and tax updates (see SAP

menu: Settings -> Technical Settings).

SAP Convergent Invoicing Without SAP Convergent Charging

Without SAP Convergent Charging, no functions for tax calculation and updating an

external tax system are initially available in SAP Convergent Invoicing. This means that

you have to program the functions yourself for your installation. To do so, create

function modules for the events 0413 and 0414 and register them in Customizing for

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Program Enhancements -> Define

Customer-Specific Function Modules.



Enterprise Services (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can access new enterprise

services as XI interfaces in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

The Enterprise Service Repository contains the following XI interfaces for software

This enhancement is only relevant for you if you are using Public Sector Contract

Accounting with SAP enhancement package 5.



Doubtful Items and Individual Value Adjustment

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use additional accounts

with calculation type 08 when individual value adjustments are reset for the following

business processes:

o Reset due to a change to a value adjustment (reduction of the percentage of the

value adjustment or of the specified value adjustment amount) for an adjusted

receivable

o Reset due to sale of an adjusted receivable

o Reset due to reversal of an adjusted receivable

For more information on calculation types for individual value adjustments, see

this text.


Calculation Types for Individual Value Adjustments

You can define the calculation type for individual value adjustment directly in

Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Business

Transactions -> Doubtful Items and Individual Value Adjustment -> Define Calculation Types for Individual Value Adjustments.



Business Function Invoicing

FICAX_INV_1: Invoicing Enhancements, SD Integration (New)

Use


function Invoicing Enhancements, SD Integration (FICAX_INV_1).

Using this business function, you can process billing documents, which were created in

Sales and Distribution (SD), directly in invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable (FI-CA). In other words, you can process them without having to create FI-CA

sample documents. The SD billing documents are integrated in the invoicing document

for invoice display, and are posted in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. You

can use all central functions of invoicing in FI-CA on the items that were created for the

SD billing documents.

There is a report you can use for reconciling FI-CA documents and SD billing

documents.

For more information, see SAP Library under SAP ERP-> Business Functions (SAP

Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0) -> Business Functions in SAP ERP ->

Industry Business Function Sets -> SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable.



Invoicing (New)

Use

Invoicing Function: Set Installment Plan to Due

To be able to take the total receivable of an installment plan into account in the final

invoice amount, until now you had to manually cancel the installment plan before

invoicing. As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now use the

Set Installment Plan to Due invoicing function. Using this invoicing function, you can

have the system automatically set all installments of an installment plan, which are not

yet due at the time of invoicing, to have the same due date as the invoice.

In this way, you can, for example, set all receivables of an installment plan to have the

same due date as the final invoice when you create the final invoice.

Invoicing Function: Writing Off Receivables and Credits in Invoicing

You can write off amounts in invoicing, for example if it is clear that the business

partner will not be paying the amount, or if the costs of collection are greater than the

amount to be collected. You can also use this procedure to write off credits, if it is not

possible to pay them to the customer.

Definition of Billing Cycles

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can define billing cycles

in invoicing.

Discounts at Invoice Level

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can calculate discounts at the invoice level in invoicing.

Integration with Sales and Distribution (SD): Transfer of SD Billing Documents

Up to now, you could integrate Sales and Distribution (SD) with Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) by:

o Activating direct posting of SD billing documents in FI-CA based on the customer

account groups

o Transferring SD billing documents to invoicing of the industry component Utilities

(IS-U) or to invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

This transfer is made using sample documents that are based on billing category

U (billing request) of the billing type.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, the integration of Sales and

Distribution (SD) with Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) has been

extended. You can now transfer billing documents directly to invoicing in Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable. You activate this enhanced integration in

Customizing.

The transfer is based on both the customer account group and the billing type; the

accounting interface in Sales and Distribution (SD) is still processed during the transfer,

but no direct postings are made.

Instead of creating posting documents, the system generates special invoicing orders

that can be processed by Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

During invoicing, the system derives postings in FI-CA for the SD billing documents,

and – as necessary – clears down payments.

The enhanced integration also offers the following functions:



o You can print the invoicing order for an SD billing document together with the

invoicing orders of other source processes in one common invoice.

o You can use the central functions of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

on open items that were created in invoicing from SD billing documents.

That means that you can include open items arising from SD billing documents in

various processes of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable: dunning,

interest calculation, and automatic and manual account maintenance. The

system treats open items that were created in Invoicing from SD billing

documents the same as all other open items of a contract account.

Integration with Sales and Distribution (SD): Reconciliation

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, a report is available for

reconciling FI-CA documents and SD billing documents, as part of the integration of

Contract Accounts Receivable with Sales and Distribution. On the SAP Easy Access

screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Reconciliation of Documents with Source

Data -> Reconciliation with SD Billing Documents.

The report determines the differences between SD billing documents and FI-CA

documents, and displays an overview of the SD billing documents and the print

documents and FI-CA documents generated from them.


Integration with Sales and Distribution (SD): Transfer of SD Billing Documents

You make specifications for the transfer to invoicing in Customizing for Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration -> Sales and Distribution ->

Define Posting to FI-CA for Customer Account Groups and under

Define Settings for Transfer to Invoicing. As an alternative, you can make

these settings in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Billing -> Billing

Documents -> Integration with Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-

CA).

You make specifications for the derivation of controlling values from SD billing

documents in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under

Integration -> Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Transfer

of SD Billing Documents -> Derive Main/Sub-Transaction from SD Information and Derive Document Type from SD Billing Doc Data.



Billing Cycle (New)

Use

Scheduling

The scheduling that is already available as of SAP enhancement package 4 for

SAP ERP 6.0 controls the time of execution of billing and invoicing. Scheduling serves

two purposes: it distributes the technical load on the system and also allows you to set

your own individual invoicing date.

The system derives the billing dates and invoicing dates from the contract

account. In Customizing, you define your rules for determining the target date under

technical keys. You then enter the key for the rule you want to use in the specific case

in the contract account.

For more information on scheduling, see this text.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now also use billing

periods at the contract account level in Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable. To do so, you enter a billing cycle in the contract account that specifies

the frequency of invoicing. You can combine the control of the billing period with

scheduling by synchronizing the dates of execution with the billing cycle. In this

way, for example, you can bill on a daily basis and run invoicing at the end of a period.

You make this setting at the level of the scheduling rule in Customizing.

In the selection control and grouping control for the billing process, you

specify if billable items from different periods (such as January and February) are

aggregated in one billing document or in separate billing documents. In addition, in the

selection control and grouping control for the invoicing process, you specify

if source documents from different periods (such as January and February) are

displayed in one invoice or in separate invoices.

To be able to periodically invoice contract accounts even if there are no source

documents to be invoiced in the system, you use a mass activity for generating

additional periodic source documents (invoicing orders). (On the SAP Easy Access

screen, choose Invoicing -> Parallel Processing -> Create Addit. Source

Documents for Periodic Invoicing). If you activate the invoicing function Invoice Additional Periodic Source Documents , then invoicing can process these

special source documents (invoicing orders). For more information on creating and

processing these source documents, see this text.


Scheduling for Billing

You make system settings for scheduling in Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable

and Payable in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under

Integration -> Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Data

-> Scheduling as follows:

o In the Define Scheduling activity, you define the technical key for scheduling.

Under this key, you define how further processing takes place.

o To synchronize scheduling with a billing cycle, you define a billing cycle in the

Define Billing Cycle activity; also define the control for determining the

frequency of the periods and for determining the billing period. You also specify if

these characteristics can be overwritten on an individual basis in the contract

account.



o In the Enter Rules for Determining the Billing Date activity, you define the

rules for determining the target date for billing. In addition, you specify here if the

target date of billing should be synchronized with a billing cycle.

o In the Assign Rules for Determining the Billing Date activity, you define how

the system derives the rules for determining the billing date. This derivation takes

place at the minimum dependent on the scheduling key.

Scheduling for Invoicing

You make system settings for scheduling in Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable

and Payable in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under

Integration -> Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ->

Invoicing -> Invoicing Processes -> Scheduling as follows:

o In the Define Scheduling activity, you define the key for scheduling. You specify

under this key how further processing takes place.

o If you want to synchronize scheduling with a billing cycle, you define a billing

cycle in the Define Billing Cycle activity; also define the control for determining

the frequency of the periods and for determining the billing period. You also

define if these characteristics can be overwritten on an individual basis in the

contract account.

o In the Enter Rules for Determining the Invoicing Date activity, you define the

rules for determining the target date for invoicing. In addition, you specify here if

the target date of invoicing should be synchronized with a billing cycle.

o In the Allocate Rules for Determination of Invoicing Date activity, you define

how the system derives the rules for determining the invoicing date. This

derivation takes place at the minimum dependent on the scheduling key.

You make system settings for creating additional periodic source documents in

Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration ->

Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Invoicing -> Invoicing

Processes -> Scheduling -> Additional Source Documents for Periodic Invoicing

as follows:

o In the Define Source Document Types for Additional Source Documents

activity, you define source document types for the additional source documents

for source document category CYCLE.

o In the Define Processing Rules for Source Document Types activity, you

define processing rules for the invoicing of these additional source documents.

You specify if invoicing or invoice printing should be suppressed provided that

there are either no further source documents to be invoiced or the invoicing

document does not have any items (zero amount invoice).

o In the Define Control for Additional Source Documents activity, you specify if

the system generates additional periodic source documents. You can make this

specification dependent on the invoicing type and the billing cycle.

o In the Maintain Number Ranges for Additional Source Documents activity,

you define the number range intervals for the generation of additional source

documents. The system determines the number range interval using a

randomness algorithm.

o You define the new invoicing function Invoice Additional Periodic Source

Documents in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

under Integration -> Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

-> Invoicing -> Invoicing Processes -> Define Invoicing Processes.



o You activate the new invoicing function Invoice Additional Periodic Source

Documents in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

under Integration -> Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

-> Invoicing -> Invoicing Processes -> Define Invoicing Types.



Discount at Invoice Level (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use new enhancements

in Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for applying charges and

discounts.

You can now apply charges and grant discounts on an individual contract basis in

Invoicing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. You do so by entering charge

and discount keys in individual contract accounts.

By activating the new invoicing function Individual Charges and Discounts,

you can have the system calculate these charges or discounts on a base amount in

invoicing and post them in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

In addition, block discounts are now supported in invoicing. You can define

discounts in which the given base amount is discounted with a value that applies for the

given interval.

For determining the base amount to which the discount is applied, you can use a new

selection rule.


You make system settings for applying charges and discounts in Invoicing in Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable

and Payable under Integration -> Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable -> Invoicing -> Invoicing Processes -> Additional Functions as follows:

o In the Define Keys for Charges and Discounts activity, you define charge and

discount keys and their validity. You also enter the calculation rules that you

want to use in invoicing for calculating charges and discounts.

o In the Assign Charge and Discount Keys activity, you specify which charges

and discounts are calculated in an invoicing process.

o In the Define Item Selection for Determining Base Amount for

Charges/Discounts activity, you specify which open items are selected for

calculating the base amount for determining charges and discounts.

You define the new invoicing function Individual Charges and Discounts in



Processes -> Define Invoicing Processes.

You activate the new invoicing function Individual Charges and Discounts in



Processes -> Define Invoicing Types.



Business Function Contract Accounts A/R and A/P, 03

FICAX_INV_PP_1: Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA)

Use


function Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA)

(FICAX_INV_PP_1). You can use this business function to:

o Import billable items from various external systems to Billing in Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable, where you can manage, process, and bill

these items

Using the billing process, you control how the system selects the billable items

and groups them into billing units. For each billing unit, the system creates a

billing document for further processing in Invoicing in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable. Using the grouping variant of the billing process, you

control the aggregation of billable items in billing document items.

o Integrate Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable with SAP

Convergent Charging

SAP Convergent Charging handles the pricing of services and determines the bill

recipient. Billing adopts the priced items in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable. During the course of further processing steps, Billing and Invoicing in

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable generate the postings necessary for

creating a bill to the customer.

o Integrate Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable with SAP

Customer Relationship (CRM)

You can define one-off charges in CRM and transfer them as billable items to

Billing (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use new enhancements

in Billing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. You can now import, bill, and

manage billable items from various external systems.

You can continue to use the existing processes in Billing in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable for EDR management and management of billing accounts.

The new billing process is completely compatible with the solution as delivered up to

now. However, to improve transparency, the structures for Customizing settings and

transactions in the SAP Easy Access menu for the solution have been changed, as

compared to their structure up to and including SAP enhancement package 4. The

previously existing functions now appear under the heading Billing-Account-Based

Billing.

Import and Management of Billable Items

The following functions are available for importing and managing billable items:

o Configuration of billable item classes

For the configuration of the interface for the data import, a billable item class describes the technical attributes of the billable items.

You define these attributes step-by-step in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Integration ->Billing in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Classes -> Maintain Billable Item Classes.

o Generating interfaces for billable item classes

In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you generate the

objects that are necessary for the data transfer and the storage of data for a

billable item class (under Integration -> Billing in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Classes -> Generate Interfaces for Billable Item Classes ). In addition to the generation itself and the log

of the generation, the system creates a generation history in this Customizing

activity. You can also display the generated objects.

o Saving billable items

By means of your configuration of the billable item class, you can have the

system store billed items and simulated billed items separately on the database.

To optimize data storage for billed items, you can define the data storage in

Customizing as time-dependent (under Integration -> Billing in Contract

Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Management -> Make Settings for Data Storage).

By entering residence times, you can delete billed items in database tables that

are no longer used. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Invoicing ->

Delete Data -> Billed Items.

o Monitoring billable items

There are functions for monitoring billable items based on their status group.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -> Monitoring.

In addition, you can change the status of individual billing transactions by

excepting billable items from processing, or by restoring them so they can be

processed.

You can display billed items. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing ->

Document Display -> Billing Document, and then choose the Source Data tab

page.



The following sample reports assist you in transferring raw data into billable

items, as well as in creating test data for billable items:

- RFKKBIXBITSAMPLE (generation of test data)

- RFKKBIXBITUPLOADSAMPLEFILE (generation of a test file for

the transfer of billable items)

- RFKKBIXBITUPLOAD (transfer of billable items from a file)

To transfer raw data into billable items (for both test purposes and for

productive data), on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Processing of Raw

Data.

Processing Billable Items

In billing, you bill the billable items of contract accounts.

The billing process controls billing by specifying the rules used for selecting

billable items and for automatically grouping them into billing units. For each billing

unit, the system creates a billing document with a new origin process 007 (Billing

in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable).

You invoice billing documents with origin process 007 (Billing in Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable) later in Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and

Payable.

You can enter a grouping variant for the billing process. This grouping variant

allows you to decide how billable items are aggregated in the items of the billing

document during billing. The grouping characteristics of the grouping variant control the

aggregation of billable items into billing document items.

Using the system settings for scheduling, you can specify a target date for billing.

You enter rules for calculating the target date for billing in Customizing.

You can have the system execute billing automatically, or you can perform billing in

dialog mode (on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -> Automated Billing or

Billing in Dialog).

You can reverse billing documents. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -

> Billing in Dialog -> Reverse Billing Document.

In addition, billing offers integration with SAP Convergent Charging , as

well as functions for processing one-off charges .

Management

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use SAP Convergent

Invoicing with SAP Convergent Charging and/or SAP Customer Relationship

Management (SAP CRM). For the integration in each case you use the appropriate

following interface components that you have to activate during the configuration of

the given billable item class:

o SAP Convergent Charging

o CRM Order

Change Mode for Raw Data Monitor

In the raw data monitor you can now:

o Change individual field contents

o Change multiple field values for multiple items at the same time using a mass

change

For more information, see the documentation of the Analysis of Raw Data report.

In Customizing, you can define which fields can be changed.

Note

These functions are only available in the raw data monitor.

Processing Rules for Billable Items

A feeder system that determines charges and prices for billable items (such as SAP

Convergent Charging) sends these items to the ERP system. In the ERP system you

can now specify:

o If items with errors should also be imported to the ERP system

o Which status (raw data, billable) the imported items should receive in the ERP

system

For more information about the settings for this, see the documentation for the

processing rules.

Prevention of Multiple Transfer of Billable Items

To prevent the feeder system from sending billable items more than once to the ERP

system, you can define a unique secondary key for the affected tables in the

configuration of the billable item class.


Integration with SAP Convergent Charging and SAP Customer Relationship

Management

You activate the interface components for this in Customizing for Contract Accounts

Receivable and Payable under Integration ->Billing in Contract Accounts

Business Function Local Close 2

FIN_ACC_LOCAL_CLOSE: Local Close 2 (New)

Use

From SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the

business function Local Close 2 is available. You can use this business function in the

Closing Cockpit to optimize your workflows for closing operations. Additional

processing functions and an enhanced authorization concept simplify working with task

list templates and task lists, and allow these to be processed by users using different

authorizations. Additional organizational levels improve how organizational enterprise

structures are considered when you create task list templates and task lists.

Integration with SAP Central Process Scheduling by Redwood (CPS) and the

Workflow Monitor has been improved, enabling you to execute, process, and monitor

remote tasks and flow definitions within the Closing Cockpit itself. The transport

function has been enhanced for easier reconciliation between individual SAP systems.

The business function contains the following features:

Mass Changes and Filtering

o Filtering of tasks (Web application)

Filtering in the Web application now enables you to filter tasks in a task list by

additional criteria, such as the person responsible or the task status. You also

can use placeholders.

o Mass change for task attributes (Web application and ABAP environment)

In a task list template or a task list, you can simultaneously change certain

attributes for multiple tasks that you have selected. This can be useful, for

example, when you want to define a new responsible person or task processor

for several tasks.

o Mass change for task status (Web application and ABAP environment)

In a task list, you can manually change the status of multiple tasks at once, for

example, to enable processing of a successor task. You can enter a text for each

status change to describe the reason for the manual change. The status change

and the its text are displayed in the status overview.

Authorization Concept

o New transaction for creating task lists

A new transaction is available for creating task lists. This transaction can also be

run by users that have no authorization for processing task list templates. This

allows for the distinction between the authorization for processing task list

templates and the authorization for processing task lists.

o Authorization checks for task list templates

You can restrict the authorization for processing task list templates to individual

task list templates. The authorization is checked on the level of individual task list

templates.

Remote Tasks

o Scheduling of remote tasks



In the Closing Cockpit, you can delete scheduled remote tasks from a task list or

reschedule their execution at a different time. Access to SAP CPS is not

necessary.

o Display of remote task details

In the Closing Cockpit, you can display details for remote tasks in a task list,

without accessing SAP CPS. The detail display also shows status information for

remote tasks.

Workflow Monitor

The overall status of flow definitions embedded in a task list template or a task list is

displayed directly in the status overview of the Closing Cockpit. You also can go to the

Workflow Monitor to view the details of each step of a flow definition.

Organizational Levels

The standard delivery contains the new organizational levels Plant and Controlling

Area/Plant. You can use these levels if you want to define specific tasks at the plant

level for a closing process.

Factory Calendar

You can allocate different calendars to task list templates and task lists. When you do

this, the calendars at the folder level have a higher priority than those at the template

level. This simplifies task planning when individual tasks are run in different locations.

Transport of Task List Templates

In manual transports of task list templates to other systems, you can determine which

additional components (such as flow definitions or variants) should be transported with

the respective task list template. By default, the transports of task list templates include

the notes and Office documents of the individual tasks.

Business Function FI, ES Sending Payment Advices

FIN_APAR_PAYMT_ADV: Business Function FI, ES Sending Payment Advices (new)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the business

function FI, Enterprise Service for Sending Payment Advice Notes

(FIN_APAR_PAYMT_ADV) is available. You can use this business function to

automate the processing of payment advice notes by employing enterprise services

also for outgoing payment advice notes. For this purpose, the following new operation

is available in process component Payment Processing:

http://sap.com/xi/APPL/Global2/PaymentAdviceNotification_Out

Effects on Existing Data

The new fields Payment Advice by XML and E-Mail Address are available in

customer and vendor master records under the company code-dependent data. You

can use the following functions to edit the new fields:

o Dialog transactions for customers and vendors FD01, FD02, FD03, FK01, FK02,

and FK03

Other transactions for maintaining customer and vendor master data (such as

the transactions XD99 and XK99 or the SAP Retail transactions WB01, WB02,

and WB03) are not supported in the system. The fields also cannot be edited as

SAP business partner data; that is, they are not synchronized via the Customer-

Vendor Integration (CVI) within SAP Master Data Synchronization.

o Batch input for customers and vendors

o Processing of customers and vendors using the IDoc format

o Master data distribution of customers and vendors using batch input

If you distribute the master data across multiple systems or clients, make sure

that in the standard system the e-mail address of the general data is not

transferred.

o Approval of critical changes in customer and vendor master records

Effects on Data Transfer

Master data distribution via IDoc has new versions for the individual segments that

contain the new fields. Version 7 of the segment E1KNB1M has been created for IDoc

DEBMAS06 (customers). Version 6 of the segment E1LFB1M has been created for

IDoc CREMAS05 (vendors).

The batch input sessions for customers and vendors have been enhanced accordingly.

If you use batch input to distribute master data across multiple systems, make sure that

you take into consideration the constraint mentioned earlier about not transferring the

e-mail address in the standard system.

Effects on System Administration

You define the business partners for which you want to use enterprise services in the

company code data of the customer and vendor master records.


In the following activities of Customizing for Accounts Receivable and Accounts

Payable, you define the field status that the new fields in the company code-dependent

data should have:



o Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Customer

Master Data:

- Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)

- Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Customers)

- Define Screen Layout per Activity (Customers)

o Vendor Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Vendor

Master Data:

- Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)

- Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Vendors)

- Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors) In each activity the new fields are located in the company code-dependent data

under Payment Transactions -> Payment Advice as XML File.

If required, in Customizing for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable you can

declare the new fields as being sensitive for dual control:

o Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Customer

Master Data -> Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control (Customers)

o Vendor Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Vendor

Master Data -> Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control (Vendors)

You can tailor the warning message that appears when you delete an e-mail address

that is still in use in Customizing for Cross-Application Components under Bank

Directory -> Change Message Control.

For more information about the configuration of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration,

see SAP Note 1348137.

Business Function CO, Parallel Valuation of Costs of Goods Manufactured

FIN_CO_COGM: Multiple Valuation of Cost of Goods Manufactured (New)

Use

As of SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the CO,

Multiple Valuation of Cost of Good Manufactured (FIN_CO_COGM) business

function is available. With this business function you can valuate cost of good

manufactured using various accounting principles. The accounting principles determine

the valuation approaches.

o In Asset Accounting and in Cost Center Accounting

o For actual price determination, and

o For cost of goods manufactured and the inventory values


Asset Accounting and Cost Center Accounting

You can create an additional version in Controlling that transfers the data from a

second Depreciation Area for Asset Accounting to Cost Center Accounting. Version 0

continues to exist as the leading version, whereas the new version is managed as the

delta version (to be more specific, the delta actual version).

You can analyze costs in the standard reports for Cost Center Accounting by switching

between valuation view 0 (legal valuation) and valuation view 5 (parallel cost of

goods manufactured) in the selection screen of the report.

Price Determination

You continue to perform direct activity allocation (including order confirmation and time

recording) based on the planned price for the cost center and the activity type. The

activity quantities and also the planned prices are also recorded in the material ledger.

To take depreciation into account in both accounting principles, the prices in the

leading version and the delta version are calculated in parallel at the period end. You

can analyze the prices using Activity Type Price Report (transaction KSBT) by

selecting the leading version and the delta version once on the selection screen of the

report.

Cost of Goods Manufactured and Inventory Values

All of the material movements continue to be valuated using Standard Costs.

The material movements, invoices, and order settlements are also recorded in the

Material Ledger.

At the period end, you carry out a periodic costing run and an alternative valuation run:

o To calculate the cost of goods manufactured taking into account the prices in the

leading version, you carry out a periodic Costing Run.

o To calculate the cost of goods manufactured taking into account the prices in the



delta version, you carry out an alternative valuation run. The alternative valuation

run has to be indicated as the run for parallel cost of good manufactured, and

reference the delta version in its settings.

In each run you can analyze the results under the costing results. You can see the cost

center being credited in the relevant version in the Cost Center Accounting standard

reports.

If you want to report inventory values correctly according to the two accounting

principles, perform the closing entries from both runs in Financial Accounting.


You can use the business function with both the new general ledger and when using

the conventional general ledger accounting, and you can work with both ledgers and

parallel accounts.

Setup

Check the accounting principles and also their assignment to ledger groups (in the

basic settings for Financial Accounting (New) under Define Accounting Principles

and Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger Groups).

I. Versions and Currency and Valuation Profile

Make the following Customizing settings for both the versions and for the currency and

valuation profile:

1. In Customizing for Controlling, make the settings for the versions under

General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions:

a) Check the settings in version 0 (leading version, for example, according to

IFRS)

b) Create an additional version for the alternative valuation according to local

law, and define for the relevant controlling areas that for this version the

parallel cost of goods manufactured valuation view is to be used. Here,

the general settings for using the version, the year-dependent parameters

on the controlling area and the settings in the results area are important.

2. In Customizing for Controlling check the settings in the currency and valuation

profile, and the settings for the material ledger under General Controlling ->

Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices -> Basic Settings ->

Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile.

In the currency and valuation view, you define that in addition to the legal view

the parallel cost of goods manufactured valuation view is to be used. The

currency types for the company code currency and the group currency are used

for the new delta version. These currency types are not used operationally, but

are used simply to provide the delta version in Controlling with values.

II. Transfer of Depreciation to Controlling

To transfer depreciation to Controlling, make the following settings:

1. Create the link to Asset Accounting:

a) In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), check the settings for

the transfer of depreciation to general ledger accounting under Asset

Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger -> Define How

Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger.



b) Make sure that the correct account assignment object of Controlling are

posted (in Customizing of Financial Accounting (New) under Asset

Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger -> Additional

Account Assignment Objects -> Specify Account Assignment Types

for Account Assignment Objects.

2. In Customizing for Controlling under Product Cost Controlling -> Actual

Costing/Material Ledger -> Multiple Valuation of Cost of Goods

Manufactured, make the following settings:

a) Check the transfer of depreciation for assets to Controlling under

Transfer Depreciation from Asset Accounting to Controlling

b) Make sure that the values from one depreciation area flow into the leading

version (version 0) and the values from a different depreciation area flow

into the delta version (the version you have created).

III. Calculating the Cost of Goods Manufactured and Closing Entries

You must have activated the enterprise extension EA-FIN in order to be able to work

with the alternative valuation run in the material ledger.

So that you can calculate the cost of goods manufactured in accordance with two

accounting principles, and can perform the closing entries, you have to make the

following Customizing settings:

1. Check the settings in Customizing of Controlling for the activity update and

credit of cost centers in the material ledger under Product Cost Controlling ->

Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Actual Costing -> Activate Actual

Costing. Here you define that the activity update for the price determination in

the material ledger is taken into account, and that the cost centers are credited

either using the periodic costing run (transaction CKMLCP) or the alternative

valuation run (transaction CKMLCPAVR).

To explain: For the Actual Costing use the periodic costing run, and for the

alternative valuation use the alternative valuation run.

2. In Customizing for Controlling under Product Cost Controlling -> Actual

Costing/Material Ledger -> Multiple Valuation of Cost of Goods

Manufactured, make the following settings:

a) Define in the material ledger those accounting principles for which you

want to perform closing entries under Transfer Closing Entries from

Material Ledger to Controlling.

Here you can specify, for example, that the prices of the leading version

are included in the periodic costing run (transaction CKMLCP) and the

prices of the delta version included in the alternative valuation run

(transaction CKMLCPAVR). You specify in addition that the closing entries

from the periodic costing run should flow into the accounting principle for

IFRS, and the closing entries from the alternative valuation flow into the

local accounting principle.

b) If you are working in general ledger accounting with the account solution,

you specify which accounts are to be posted to under Define Alternative

Accounts for Material Ledger Postings.

Note: As an alternative to this Customizing activity, Business Add-In BAdI:

Exchange of Accounts According to Accounting Principle is available.

FIN_GL_CI_3: Impairment of Assets According to IAS36 (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), business

function New General Ledger Accounting 3, you can execute mass processing for

impairment of assets within a cash-generating unit (CGU). You can select the relevant

assets for this using the asset list and process them in a worklist.

You have the following options for distributing the impairment amount to the individual

assets:

o The system distributes the impairment amount dependent on the net book value

of the individual assets.

o The system determines and distributes the impairment amount of the individual

assets so that the net book value of each asset is zero after the impairment.

o You specify your own customer-specific distribution of the impairment amount.

To do so, you use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI for Distribution of

Impairments (FIAA_IMPAIRMENT_DISTR_CUST).

Posting of the impairment reduces the net book value of your assets. You can choose

between these two procedures:

o Depreciation revaluation (increase of accumulated depreciation)

o Negative revaluation of acquisition and production costs (reduction of the

acquisition value)

You can post impairments either during the fiscal year or as part of the year-end

closing. The system considers the posting documents created in Asset Accounting (FI-

AA) during the next depreciation posting run for General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL).

Note

For impairments during the fiscal year, to ensure a recalculation of the revaluation for

the next period of the current year, use the new depreciation calculation.


If you want to use the new depreciation calculation, you have to activate the add-on

FIN EA-APPL.


To use the function for impairment of assets, make the following settings:

o You create the following new transaction types depending on the posting type in

Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) or Financial Accounting under

Asset Accounting -> Special Valuation -> Revaluation of Fixed Assets ->

Revaluation for the Balance Sheet -> Define Transaction Types for

Revaluation:

o Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (debit) for current year

(transaction type group A2)

o Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (debit) for previous

year (transaction type group A1)

o Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (credit) for current


o Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (credit) for previous




Note

If you use the old depreciation calculation, instead of transaction type groups A1

and A2, you have to use transaction type groups 81 and 82.

o If you want to make different impairment postings depending on the accounting

principles used, then limit these transaction types to depreciation areas that use

the same accounting principles. You make this setting in Customizing for

Financial Accounting (New) or Financial Accounting under Asset

Accounting -> Special Valuation -> Revaluation of Fixed Assets ->

Revaluation for the Balance Sheet -> Define Transaction Types for

Revaluation -> Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas.

o In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) or Financial Accounting under

Asset Accounting -> Special Valuation -> Revaluation of Fixed Assets ->

Revaluation for the Balance Sheet -> Determine Depreciation Areas, you

specify for each depreciation area that impairments can be posted both as

revaluation of acquisition and production costs as well as revaluation of

depreciation.

o For posting impairments to new General Ledger Accounting, you specify for each

depreciation area that revaluation is considered during the depreciation posting

run. You specify this in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) or

Financial Accounting under Asset Accounting -> Integration with General

Ledger Accounting -> Post Depreciation to General Ledger Accounting ->

Specify Intervals and Posting Rules.

FIN_GL_CI_3: Parallel Valuation of Material Stocks (New)

Use


function New General Ledger Accounting 3, when you run balance sheet valuation,

you can make delta postings for depreciation at business area, profit center, and

segment level, as well as at account level. The value of the delta postings is the

difference between the current stock value and the previously determined balance

sheet value.

Each delta posting is assigned to a delta run, which you define beforehand with the

relevant posting parameters. For parallel valuation of material stocks, you can assign

different accounting principles to delta runs and run balance sheet valuation for each

accounting principle:

o If you use the accounts approach, you assign a different account grouping code

to each delta run.

o If you use the ledger approach, you assign a different accounting principle to

each delta run.

You can subsequently edit and reverse delta runs and the postings assigned to them.


o The existing program Balance Sheet Value per Account (transaction MRN9)

was enhanced to enable postings at business area, profit center, and segment

level. For the parallel execution of delta postings with different accounting

principles, the program requires the assignment of a delta run for each posting.

o To edit delta runs, the area menu has the additional entry Logistics -> Materials

Management -> Valuation -> Balance Sheet Valuation -> Results -> Balance

Sheet Value per Account: Edit Delta Run (transaction MRN9DELTA).


You define delta parameters for parallel delta postings in Customizing for Materials

Management, under Valuation and Account Assignment -> Balance Sheet

Valuation Procedures -> Set Up Delta Run for Balance Sheet Valuation.

FIN_GL_CI_3: Enhanced Reports for Reconciliation Between MM and FI-GL (New)

Use


function New General Ledger Accounting 3, you can use the following new reports

for comparing the stocks in Materials Management with the balances of the assigned

balance sheet accounts in new General Ledger Accounting:

o Report for periodic reconciliation

This report compares, for a company code and a posting period, the totals of the

stocks in Materials Management against the balances of the assigned G/L

accounts in a ledger in General Ledger Accounting. In the results output, the

report shows the values determined for each G/L account and G/L account

assignment.

Depending on whether the material ledger is activated in the specified company

code, the report determines the material stocks using either the material ledger

or the stock data in Materials Management and the local currencies relevant for

the material stock.

o Report for reconciliation after activating the material ledger

To determine for a company code the current stock values in the material ledger,

this report uses the balances of the assigned balance sheet accounts in General

Ledger Accounting. For this, the report considers all local currencies.

On the basis of the stock values determined for the material ledger, the report

determines the differences in balances for each G/L account and G/L account

assignment for the second and third local currency.

You can use the report to post directly to a specified account the differences in

balances resulting from building the material ledger for the additional local

currencies.

When determining the material stocks and the balances of a general ledger, the reports

apply the following G/L account assignments:

o Business Area

o Profit Center

o Segment

You can use the Business-Add-In (BAdI) Master Data Enhancement for Balance

Reconciliation Between General Ledger and Materials Management

(FAGL_MM_RECON) to define, where necessary, additional G/L account assignments

that you want to apply in the evaluation.


o For periodic reconciliation, the following entry has been added to the area menu:

Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Periodic

Processing -> Closing -> Check/Count -> Balance Comparison: General

Ledger - Materials Management (transaction FAGL_MM_RECON).

o For reconciliation after activation of the material ledger, the following entry has

been added to the area menu: Logistics -> Material Management -> Valuation

-> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Environment -> Production Startup ->

Reconciliation with Balance Sheet Accounts in FI (New) (transaction

FAGL_ML_ADJUST).




You define additional G/L account assignments for the evaluation in Customizing for

Financial Accounting (New) under General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools ->

Customer Enhancements -> Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) -> Master Data

Enhancement for Balance Reconciliation Between General Ledger and Materials

Management.

FIN_GL_CI_3: Reading Totals Records from Archive (New)

Use


function New General Ledger Accounting 3, you can read totals records from the

archive for reporting purposes.

In new General Ledger Accounting, the number of records in the totals table can

increase considerably particularly when you use the ledger approach with multiple

scenarios. A large number of data records can in some cases lead to performance

problems in reporting. For this reason, it can be useful to archive data records regularly

at shorter intervals.

The logical database SDF has therefore been adjusted so that reports that are based

on it can now read totals records from the archive. (Note: It was also possible

previously to read line items from the archive.)

In the following reports, you can now specify whether the data is read from the archive,

from the database, or from both:

o Summary reports that are based on the logistical database SDF

o G/L Account Balance Display (transaction FAGLB03)

o Drilldown reports

You can connect Report Writer and Report Painter reports to the archive.

For reporting in SAP BI, the data source 0FI_GL_20 has been enhanced accordingly.


User Interface

In the summary reports, in the G/L account balance display (transaction FAGLB03), and

in the drilldown reports, you can use the Data Sources pushbutton to specify the

source from which the system reads the data.

o From the database,

o From the archive, or

o From the database and from the archive

Dataset

If a local currency changeover takes place after archiving, the data from the archive is

not converted to the new currency; instead, it is displayed in the original currency.

FIN_GL_CI_3: Number Assignment for Asset Transfer (New)

Use


function New General Ledger Accounting 3, you can specify that the system keeps

the number structure for the mass transfer of assets (transaction AR31).

In the standard system, the system assigns new main numbers and subnumbers during

a mass transfer. If you want to keep the original relationships between the individual

assets during the transfer, you can choose between the following options for number

assignment:

o Keep the original main number

The system adopts the main number that was assigned to the asset before the

transfer. It assigns new sequential subnumbers.

o Keep the original number structure

The system assigns new main numbers and subnumbers, but adopts the existing

number structure. This means that the system assigns assets with the same

original main number uniform main numbers, but assigns new sequential

subnumbers.

To use this option you have to select the Keep Subno.Structure checkbox in the

settings for the asset transfer.


If you want to keep the original main numbers, then you activated the Business Add-In

(BAdI) Control of Number Assignment During Mass Transfer

(BADI_FIAA_NUMBER) in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset

Accounting -> Transactions -> Enhancements -> Business Add-Ins for

Enhancements -> BAdI: Control of Number Assignment During Mass Transfer.

Business Function Sum transfer in distributed systems

FIN_GL_DISTR_SCEN_1: Totals Document and Single Document Transfer in Distributed Systems (New)

Use


function FI-GL (New), Totals Document and Single Document Transfer in

Distributed Systems (New) is available with a new ALE distribution scenario for new

General Ledger Accounting.

In a system landscape with distributed product systems, you can transfer FI documents

individually as single documents or aggregated as totals documents. In the case of

aggregated document transfer, the system collects business transactions of the same

type, summarizes them in an aggregated document, and transfers this aggregated

document to the receiver system.

As a result of transferring single documents in an aggregated document, the data

volume is reduced considerably, which improves performance.

You specify which documents are transferred individually and which are transferred in

aggregated form by using the corresponding indicator in the account master record.

When this indicator is set, all documents that contain that account are transferred

individually. Similarly, all documents containing taxes are transferred individually.

Furthermore, you can specify additional criteria for the single document transfer.

With the single document transfer, document splitting information is also transferred

to the receiver system.

All documents that have not been transferred individually are collected and can be

transferred in an aggregated document. With the aggregated document transfer, as

many single documents as possible are summarized in an aggregated document and

then transferred as one document.

The single document transfer is performed automatically at the time of posting. You

have to start the aggregated document transfer explicitly from the menu (see also the

section "Effects on Existing Data").

To compare the transferred documents with the transaction figures at the ledger level,

you can use the existing reconciliation report Compare Documents / Transaction

Figures, which you start in the central system (go to the SAP Easy Access screen

and choose Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Periodic

Processing -> Closing -> Check/Count -> Reconciliation (New) (transaction

FAGLF03)).

To check the totals of the transferred documents at the account level in the receiver

system and to display any variances, you can use the reconciliation report Compare

Documents from Totals Document Transfer (see also the section "Effects on

Existing Data").

All aggregated documents are posted with the reference transaction GLSUM. The

Reference Number field in the document header contains the run ID for the

aggregated transfer. The run ID appears as follows: "GL-ALE-" + "run ID" (for

example, GL-ALE-00201). To reverse a transfer run, proceed as follows: In the central

system, you have to reverse all documents for a transfer run using a mass reversal

(transaction F.80). For this, you have to enter the reference transaction and reference

number (using the custom selections). You can then reset the transfer run in the sender

system (see also the section "Effects on Existing Data"). You can control the reversal

with the reconciliation report Compare Documents from Totals Document Transfer.




Existing Data

The new distribution scenario replaces the previously used distribution scenarios for

Financial Accounting.

You activate the new distribution scenario for a specific company code. Once you have

activated the new distribution scenario for a company code and the same receiver

system is set up in the old distribution scenario for that company code, only the IDoc of

the new distribution scenario is generated. Otherwise, you can continue to use the old

distribution scenario as before.

User Interfaces

The SAP menu contains the following new entries:

o You start the aggregated document transfer in the SAP Easy Access screen

under Tools -> ALE -> Application Distribution -> Transfer of Totals

Documents (transaction FAGLAL3).

o You start the reconciliation report Compare Documents of Totals Document

Transfer in the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial

Accounting -> General Ledger -> Periodic Processing -> Closing ->

Check/Count -> Compare Totals (transaction FAGL_COMP_SUM_RUNID).

o To reset a transfer run in the sender system, go to the SAP Easy Access screen

and choose Tools -> ALE -> Application Distribution -> Accounting ->

Financial Accounting -> Reset Transfer of Totals Documents (transaction

FAGL_RUNID_INIT).


The new Basic Type FAGLDT01 belongs to the new distribution scenario. There are

the following new message types:

o FAGLDT01 for single document transfer

o FAGLST01 for aggregated document transfer

If you have added customer fields to segments in the old distribution scenarios for

Financial Accounting, you also need to enhance the segments in the new IDoc for the

new distribution scenario.

There are various Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) available for the new distribution scenario

in the sender and receiver systems. These BAdIs correspond to the customer exits of

the old distribution scenarios. We recommend using the BAdIs for the new distribution

scenario. The following BAdIs are available:

o BAdIs for Sender Systems

- BAdI: Identify Documents for Single Document Transfer

You can use this BAdI to specify whether documents are transferred

individually or in aggregated documents. Here, you can override the

indicator for single document transfer set in the account master record.

- BAdI: Change IDocs in Sender System

You can use this BAdI to change an IDoc before the transfer or mark it as

excluded from the transfer.

- BAdI: Change Documents in Sender System

You can use this BAdI to change an FI document in the sender system.

- BAdI: Add a New Segment with Customer Fields in IDoc

You can use this BAdI to add customer fields in the IDoc.



- BAdI: Automatic Clearing of G/L Accounts Managed on an Open Item

Basis

You can use this BAdI to automatically clear G/L accounts managed on an

open item basis during the single document transfer.

- BAdI: Clear Fields Before Document Aggregation

You can use this BAdI to add aggregation fields for the creation of an

aggregated document.

o BAdIs for Receiver Systems

- BAdI: Change IDocs in Receiver System

You can use this BAdI to change an IDoc or mark it as excluded from the

transfer.

- BAdI: Read Customer Fields for Postings

You can use this BAdI to read customer fields from an IDoc and add them

to a document.

- BAdI: Change Fields in Accounting Structures (FI Documents)

You can use this BAdI to change an FI document in the receiver system

shortly before the document is transferred to the accounting interface.


1. In the sender system, create an RFC connection between the sender and

receiver systems.

2. In the sender system, create the port for IDoc processing in the SAP menu under

Tools -> ALE -> ALE Administration -> Runtime Settings -> Port

Maintenance (transaction WE21).

3. In the sender and receiver systems, create a cross-system company code in

Business Function FI-GL (new), Reorganization and FI-AA Segment Reports

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Profit Center Reorganization and Segment Reports (New)

Use


function FI-GL (New), Profit Ctr Reorganization and Segment Reports is available.

You can use this business function to achieve the following:

o You can portray the reassignment of profit centers in new General Ledger

Accounting (Profit Center Reorganization).

o Furthermore, you can create asset reports at the profit center or segment

level.

Profit Center Reorganization

Scope of the Profit Center Reorganization

Generally, changes to the profit center structure are the result of a management

decision. Such changes can involve splitting up, combining, discontinuing, and

renaming existing profit centers, creating new profit centers, or a combination of these

activities. The information about a change to the profit center structure must be

available in a timely fashion because retroactive reorganizations are not supported.

A change to the profit center structure necessitates a change to the assignment of

profit centers to objects (such as materials, orders, purchase orders, or sales orders).

You can use the profit center reorganization to make these necessary changes in the

system as part of an automated process:

The profit center reorganization allows the change to the profit center assignment to

take effect in the system on a key date and enables profit center reporting to be

performed consistently in new General Ledger Accounting before and after the

realignment. In a verifiable procedure, objects (such as materials and orders) affected

by the reorganization are determined and reassigned and their balances are

transferred in new General Ledger Accounting.

You control and monitor the process using an application in the portal or in the

NetWeaver Business Client. The system logs all steps.

Roles

The following roles are used in the reorganization:

o The Reorganization Manager is responsible for the entire reorganization

project. He or she creates the reorganization plan and performs the steps for

generating the object list (that is, determining the objects involved), for

reassignment, and for performing transfers on the basis of proposals made by

object owners in the system.

o The Object Owner assigns the new profit centers to the objects in his or her

area of responsibility. The reorganization manager cannot make any further

changes to these assignments during reassignment and transfer postings.

For more information on the roles, see the section "Effects on System Administration".

Process Flow

The reorganization manager creates a reorganization plan. This is where the

reorganization date, the controlling area, and the affected profit centers, for example,



are specified. The reorganization date must be the first day of a future posting period.

From the reorganization date, you can perform reporting on the basis of the new profit

center structure.

In the next step, the reorganization manager starts object list generation from within

the reorganization plan. When generating the object list, the system looks for the

objects (such as materials or WBS elements) that are affected by the profit center

reorganization and to which a new profit center needs to be assigned. Furthermore, the

system determines the relevant object owner. However, the reorganization manager

can specify a different object owner. Once the reorganization manager releases the

objects, they appear in the personal object list of the relevant object owner. An object

list serves as a worklist for an object owner. Before the reorganization period is

opened, the object owners need to store the new assignment in the system. Cost

centers are an exception to this: A cost center is registered automatically in a

reorganization plan once you create a new time slot with a new profit center.

Once the previous period has been closed, the reorganization manager performs

reassignment from within the reorganization plan. This changes the profit centers of

the objects determined in the previous step. The system locates dependent objects for

successfully reassigned objects that have imparted the profit center and reassigns such

dependent objects in the same way. The system finds such objects using the standard

logic for profit center derivation: For example, items of a nonassigned purchase order

inherit the profit center from the ordered materials, and one item of a payable inherits

the profit center from the purchase order as a result of document splitting. This ensures

in particular that floating processes (such as the clearing of open items of a supplier)

are diverted to the new profit centers. For some object types, this step also determines

the balances to be transferred (such as for materials) or even transfers them (such as

for fixed assets). Alternatively to using the standard logic for profit center derivation,

you can specify your own derivation logic.

Then, from within the reorganization plan, the reorganization manager starts the

balance transfers for objects that have already been reassigned. This enables

balances to be displayed consistently for key dates at the profit center level. Transfer

postings are made in new General Ledger Accounting. In the case of fixed assets, the

system performs an integrated transfer posting.

The system logs all affected objects, their old and new assignment, and the relevant

object owner. It also logs the transferred balances for each object as well as the

transfer posting documents created in new General Ledger Accounting. You can use

separate consolidation transaction types to see the transferred balances in totals

reports in new General Ledger Accounting.

Objects that Can Be Organized

This function ensures that the affected objects are reassigned consistently. The

following object types that have profit centers in their master data record are

reassigned: fixed asset, material, purchase order, sales document, cost center, cost

objects, WBS element, network, network activity, internal order, accrual order, CO

production order, product cost collector, QM order, PP production order, service and

maintenance order, process order, payable, and receivable.

Moreover, this function transfers the balances of the affected objects. Only balances

that can be assigned directly to the affected objects are transferred. The following

balance sheet items are reorganized:

o Fixed assets

o Inventory (raw materials, work in process, finished products)

o Receivables

o Payables from goods and services



In the profit and loss statement, no transfer postings are made. The system ensures

that postings in the profit and loss statement are made to the new profit centers in the

reorganization period. In the previous period, postings are made to the old profit center.

The system uses the reorganization plan as the basis for assigning the profit center to

the affected objects depending on the period. However, this only applies to cost

objects.

The following functions are not supported for profit center reorganizations:

o The reorganization of group assets is not supported.

o You can only reorganize materials (master records and stocks) consistently if

you do not use the Retail Method of Accounting (RMA).


o Reorganization of Receivables and Payables

o Reorganization of Materials

o Reorganization of WIP and SD Objects

o Reorganization of Cost Centers

o Reorganization of Fixed Assets

Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets

You can specify the account assignment objects Profit Center and Segment in the

master data of the fixed assets. (You use a corresponding program to derive the profit

center or segment for fixed assets already present in the system as well).

This enables you to create asset reports at the profit center or segment level.

o In Asset Accounting, you can create various reports at the profit center or

segment level.

o In new General Ledger Accounting, you can create an aggregated report on

changes in tangible assets. In the report, the values are cumulated on the basis

of the G/L accounts.

For more information, see the following release note:

o Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets


The reorganization is available as a Web Dynpro application in the portal as well as

being available as an application in the NetWeaver Business Client.

To be able to use the reorganization in the portal, you need to install the business

package BP for Reorganization Management (BPERPREORG).

This business package does not contain any predefined roles; it is only intended for

reuse. To facilitate the evaluation of the contents of the worksets by administrators, the

worksets of this business packages are embedded by delta link in work center pool role

1.5 of the Business Package for Common Parts.

However, you can define your own roles (such as Reorganization Manager and Object

Owner). You can then use the worksets of the business package BP for

Reorganization Management in your own roles:



Workset -> Own Role

Overview of Reorganization Plans

(Reorganization Plan Overview)

-> Reorganization Manager

(Object List Overview)

-> Object Owner

For more information about this business package, see the SAP Library at Cross-

Application Functions in SAP ERP -> Roles -> Business Packages (Portal

Content) -> Worksets for Reuse in Roles -> Business Package for Reorganization

Management.

For the use of the reorganization in the NetWeaver Business Client, there are similar

PFCG roles:

o Role for the reorganization manager: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_MANAGER

o Role for the object owner: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_OBJLIST_OWNER

The report launchpad FAGL_REORG exists for the reorganization manager, both in the

application in the portal as well as in the NetWeaver Business Client. It comprises all

other programs that you need for the reorganization.


You make the basic settings for the reorganization in Customizing for General Ledger

(New) under Reorganization -> Basic Settings.

Before you can start a reorganization, certain organizational and system prerequisites

must be met. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for General Ledger

Accounting (New) under Reorganization -> Basic Settings -> Prerequisites for a

Reorganization. Here, you find out which are the minimum Customizing settings that

you need to make.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of Receivables and Payables (New)

Use

From SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), business

function FI-GL (New), Profit Ctr Reorganization and Segment Reports

(FIN_GL_REORG_1), you can automatically reorganize open receivables and

payables following a reorganization of profit centers.

In new General Ledger Accounting, you can transfer the affected receivables and

payables balances from the old profit center to the new profit center. Given that

automatic document splitting information for the affected receivables and payables are

updated, the follow-on processes (such as clearing) take the new profit centers as their

basis.

The system supports you in the following activities:

o Data selection:

The system selects the following data:

- Open receivables and payables (including down payment requests and

down payments) that are affected by the reorganization of profit centers

- Their invoice-related items (such as residual items and partial payments)

o Account assignment change:

To ensure that the clearing processes are based on the new profit centers, the

system applies in the reassignment the document splitting information for the

affected receivables and payables. Furthermore, the system updates the

document splitting information; in this way, follow-on processes apply the correct

account assignments. However, this does not cause changes to be made to the

document themselves.

o Transfer posting:

In new General Ledger Accounting, the system transfers the balances of

receivables and payables.

The reorganization of receivables and payables is integrated in the reorganization of

the objects determining the account assignment (examples of such objects: cost

center, order, or purchase order item). If, for example, an incoming invoice for a

purchase order was posted, the payable received its profit center account assignments

from the purchase order items of the purchase order. You assign a payable in

accordance with the reorganized purchase order item.

In this way, you only have to manually specify new profit centers for receivables and

payables if it is not possible to establish the relationship to the objects determining the

account assignment (such as the purchase order item) or if the receivable or payable

was assigned directly with profit centers.


Activating the business function FIN_GL_REORG_1 alone does not affect the dataset

in Cost Object Controlling.

It is only once you actually use the function for reorganizing receivables and payables

that you can change profit centers in document splitting and transfer receivables and

payables balances from the old profit center to the new profit center in new General

Ledger Accounting.


You make the basic Customizing settings for the reorganization in Customizing for

General Ledger (New) under Reorganization -> Basic Settings.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of Materials (New)

Use



(FIN_GL_REORG_1), you can reorganize materials with regard to their profit center

assignment.

You can change the profit center in the material master record and transfer balances

for all materials that you have selected for the profit center reorganization.

Furthermore, you can automatically include purchase order items in the reorganization:

o Unassigned purchase order items (that is, purchase order items that only contain

the material) are included in the reorganization by means of the material from

which they received their profit center.

o Purchase order items with an account assignment (such as cost center or

internal order) can also be included in the reorganization by being considered via

the corresponding account assignment object (such as cost center or internal

order).


o Selection:

The system automatically selects the materials that are affected by the

reorganization of profit centers.


With a reorganization plan, you can change the profit center in the account

assignments in the material master records for the reorganization date.

o Transfer posting:

You can then transfer the object balances. You do this by cumulatively

transferring the material stock value and balance value on the GR/IR account for

the affected purchase order items in new General Ledger Accounting to the new

profit center.

Constraint:

You can only reorganize materials (master records and stocks) consistently if you do

not use the Retail Method of Accounting (RMA).



in inventory management and in purchasing.

It is only once you actually use the Reorganization of Materials function that you can

change profit centers in the material master data and transfer balances from the old

profit center to the new profit center in new General Ledger Accounting.




For the Material object type, you can specify restriction characteristics and display

characteristics.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of WIP and SD Objects (New)

Use



(FIN_GL_REORG_1), you can automatically reorganize cost objects in Product Cost

Controlling and sales documents in Sales and Distribution (SD) following a

reorganization of profit centers. You can change the profit centers in the cost object

master data and in sales documents and transfer the affected balances from the old

profit center to the new profit center in new General Ledger Accounting.


o In the selection of cost objects and sales documents that are affected by the

reorganization of profit centers

o For the reassignment of the master data

o In the transfer of balances (work in process) in new General Ledger Accounting

The reorganization of WIP and SD objects is available for the following objects:

production orders, process orders, product cost collectors, sales orders, contracts,

scheduling agreements, requests, offers, WBS elements, and internal orders with

revenue. Furthermore, you can change the account assignments of the following

objects: cost object hierarchies, networks, network activities, maintenance orders, QM

orders, and accrual orders.

The reorganization of WIP and SD objects is integrated in the reorganization of

materials. For example, you can include in the reorganization production orders and

sales order items that belong to a reorganized material and have them automatically

reorganized accordingly.



in the Cost Object Controlling or in SD.

It is only once you actually use the reorganization of WIP and SD objects that you

can change profit centers in the cost object master data and in the sales documents

and transfer balances from the old profit center to the new profit center in new General

Ledger Accounting.




For the reorganization of work in process, it may be useful to exclude specific results

analysis categories for determining the balance of cost objects. You make the relevant

settings in Customizing for the Reorganization under Exclude Results Analysis

Categories for Determining Balances of Cost Objs.

In the case of the reorganisation of sales documents, you can specify that specific

sales documents are always included in the reorganization; the system then selects the

sales documents by status and period. You make any necessary settings in



Customizing for the Reorganization under Specify Periods for Sales Document

Selection.

The system supports you in including in the reorganization plan the cost centers that

are affected by the reorganization of profit centers.

A cost center is entered in a reorganization plan when the following prerequisites are

met:

o The key date of the cost center change (period begin) and the reorganization

date of the reorganization plan are the same.

o The reorganization plan contains the change from the previous profit center to

the new profit center.

o In Controlling, the period is still closed for all actual transactions.

It is not possible to delete an analysis period for a cost center that has been included in

a reorganization plan because dependent objects might have already been

reorganized.


Activating the business function FI-GL (New), Profit Ctr Reorganization and

Segment Reports (FIN_GL_REORG_1) has effects when an analysis period with a

changed profit center is added. With the change, the above-mentioned checks are run.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of Fixed Assets (New)

Use



(FIN_GL_REORG_1), you can automatically reorganize fixed assets following a


You can reorganize fixed assets for which the profit center is assigned directly by

means of a cost object (such as an internal order or a WBS element):

o You can change the profit center in the cost objects and reassign the affected

fixed assets

o You can use an intercompany asset transfer to transfer the balances from the old

to the new profit center in new General Ledger Accounting as well as in Asset

Accounting.

Furthermore, you can reorganize fixed assets to which a profit center is assigned

directly without a cost object.


o Selection:

- In the selection of fixed assets that are affected by the reorganization of

profit centers

- In the selection of cost objects (such as order or WBS element) that are

assigned in the asset master records and are therefore affected by the

reorganization of the profit centers


- For the reassignment of asset master data

- For the reassignment of cost objects

o Transfer posting:

- For the transfer of asset portfolios

Constraint:

The reorganization of group assets is not supported.


Before you can change the account assignment of fixed assets, we recommend that

you run the check report on the fixed assets (see also the section "Effects on

Customizing" below). This check report specifies for selected fixed assets whether they

can be reorganized consistently. If the check report returns a negative result for a fixed

asset, that fixed asset cannot be reorganized.

Before you can reorganize the fixed asset, you have to make manual adjustments in

the following cases (if relevant):

o Assign a different profit center to the real estate key.

o Internal order:

- Generate the object list for the internal orders and assign the new profit

center to the relevant internal order, or

- Assign a different order in the asset master record if you do not want the

previously used order to be reorganized.



Page 101 of 222

o Project:

- Generate the object list for the WBS elements and assign the new profit

center to the relevant WBS element, or

- Assign a different project in the asset master record if you do not want the

previously used project to be reorganized.

o Cost center:

- Assign a new profit center to the affected cost centers for the

reorganization date.

- If you do not want the previously used cost center to be included in the

reorganization, assign a different cost center in the asset master record.


Before you can start the reorganization of fixed assets, the following prerequisites must

be met:

1. You use new General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL (New)) and Asset

Accounting (FI-AA) in your production system.

2. You have activated segment reporting in Customizing for Asset Accounting

with the activity Activate Segment Reporting. You have performed the other

activities listed in this activity.

Note the following: The fields Profit Center and Segment must be filled

consistently in the asset master records. It must be possible in the asset master

record to derive a unique profit center for all posting-relevant cost objects.

3. In Customizing for Asset Accounting in the activity Activate Account

Assignment Objects, the Acct Assignment Object Same in Asset Master

and Posting indicator is set.

4. In Customizing for General Ledger Accounting (New), you have made the

basic settings for the reorganization underReorganization -> Basic Settings.

5. In Customizing for the Reorganization, you have activated the reorganization of

fixed assets with the activity Activate Reorganization of Fixed Assets.

6. In Customizing for the Reorganization, you have performed the activity Check

Profit Center Assignments in Asset Master Records. You have determined

any inconsistencies in the assignment of profit centers and have removed them.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets (New)

Use



(FIN_GL_REORG_1), you can use the account assignment objects Profit Center and

Segment in the asset master record. This enables you to create asset reports at the

profit center or segment level.

You have the following options:

o You can specify profit centers and segments in the master data of the fixed

assets. You make the profit center and segment settings in exactly the same way

as for existing account assignments (such as for cost centers, internal orders, or

WBS elements).

o In Asset Accounting, you can create reports at the profit center or segment level.

There is a new sort variant for this. Moreover, the corresponding fields have

been included for selection in the Logical Database ADA.

o In new General Ledger Accounting, you can create an aggregated report on

changes in tangible assets. In the report, the values are cumulated on the basis

of the G/L accounts. The report is provided via POWL technology.

Segment reporting for fixed assets must be activated and set up before the

reorganization of fixed assets is possible.


For the profit center and the segment to be derived consistently and for postings to be

made correctly on this basis, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

o If there is a cost object in the asset master record, the system derives any profit

center stored there.

o If there are multiple cost objects in the asset master record, it must be possible

to uniquely derive one profit center.

Any segment stored is derived from the profit center.

To derive the profit center or segment for the fixed assets already stored in the system,

you have the following options:

o You can convert asset master data from which a unique profit center can be

derived. You do this in Customizing for Asset Accounting with the activity Fill

Master Data for Segment Reporting.

o If you have assigned one or more cost objects, the profit center or segment is

derived in the individual maintenance of fixed assets (provided that a unique

profit center or segment can be derived). Otherwise, you can specify a profit

center or segment.

Caution: For postings to be made consistently in Asset Accounting, it is essential that

you have converted the asset master data (see also the section "Effects on

Customizing").


Since you require the Consolidation Transaction Type (RMVCT) field for the

aggregated report on changes in tangible assets, a new scenario is delivered, namely

FIN_AASEG: Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets:

o If you have not previously used the scenario Preparations for Consolidation,



Page 103 of 222

you have to use the new scenario.

To be able to create the aggregated report on changes in tangible assets for old

data as well, go to Customizing for Asset Accounting and perform the activity

Fill Consolidation Transaction Type for Segment Reports in GL

Accounting.

o If you already use the scenario Preparations for Consolidation, you do not

need to use the new scenario.


1. In Customizing for Asset Accounting, activate segment reporting.

For information on the effects of activating segment reporting in the system, see

the documentation in the Implementation Guide for the activity Activate

Segment Reporting.

a) Ensure that the prerequisites listed in this activity are met.

b) Activate segment reporting.

c) Perform the other activities specified in this activity.

In particular, you must perform the activity Fill Master Data for Segment

Reporting.

2. The aggregated report on changes in tangible assets is provided via POWL

technology. To be able to use this report, you need to have activated the

business function Reporting Financials 3 (FIN_REP_SIMPL_3), and the role

FINREP needs to be assigned to you.

3. Two sets are used for the aggregated report on changes in tangible assets:

- Column set: The Consolidation Transaction Type (RMVCT) is used in

the columns of the report. To be able to run the report and before postings

can be made, the transaction type from Asset Accounting must be linked

with the consolidation transaction type.

You can combine multiple consolidation transaction types for one column.

The standard delivery contains the example set for columns:

FAGL_CONS_TRANSACTION.

- Row set: As the Fixed Asset field is not available in new General Ledger

Accounting, the G/L account is used for the rows.

Here also, you can combine multiple accounts into one row and give it a

name.

The standard delivery contains the example set for rows:

Business Function FI, Enablement for FSS

FIN_SSC_AIC_1: Business Function FI, Enablement for Financial Shared Services (New)

Use


function FI, Enablement for Financial Shared Services (FIN_SSC_AIC_1) is

available. You can use this business function to use functions of the new Shared Services Framework that is available across multiple SAP applications.

In conjunction with SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP CRM 7.0, this business

function in particular optimizes the setting up and operating of an Accounting

Interaction Center (AIC) in SAP CRM. It is therefore tightly linked with the business

function Multifunctional Shared Service Interaction Center in the SAP CRM system.

The following functions are provided:

Manual Service Requests in the SAP ERP System

Service requests are used to swiftly report and resolve problems and errors. You can

thus now create a service request directly from the transactions of the SAP ERP

system. This concerns approximately 100 Financial Accounting (FI) and

Controlling (CO) transactions. When you create a service request, the system opens it

directly in the SAP CRM Interaction Center. It transfers contextual data and lets you

attach a screenshot. In addition, you can link various ERP objects, such as the vendor

master record or the document, to this request.

AIC agents can call up the linked objects later by navigating from the service request

directly into the ERP system. In Customizing for the CRM system, you can identify the

ERP transactions that can be launched from the AIC by their prefix, such as ERP_FIN.

For more information, see Customizing for Customer Relationship Management

under UI Framework -> Technical Role Definition -> Transaction Launcher ->

Copy/Delete Launch Transactions.

Automatic Service Requests in the SAP ERP System

You can also have service requests created automatically from the following programs:

o Proposal list for the payment run (transaction F110)

o Logs for the costing run (transaction CK40N)

Search for Service Requests

Besides being able to create service requests directly from an ERP system, you can

also search for service requests. You can check their status and update the service

requests without the AIC agents having to intervene. You can choose whether you

want to see only your own service requests in the SAP CRM UI or whether you want to

see the service requests that were created in the FI or CO system.

You can facilitate and accelerate the search through the standard filling of the

Business Partner and Status fields based on the business partner number of the

current user and the Customizing settings.

Fact Sheet for Customer and Vendor

The Accounting Interaction Center (AIC) now contains the account fact sheet which is a

tool for facilitating communication with partners in financial scenarios. It provides

context-specific information about the respective commication partner. This partner can

be both a customer and a vendor.



Page 152 of 222

Fact sheet for customer

A fact sheet containing data on the specific business context is available to the agents

of the Shared Services Center (SSC). This information ranges from the purchasing

volume to the customer's most recent dispute cases. In this way, agents have access

to a complete picture of the past and present collaboration with the communication

partner in their day-to-day work.

Fact sheet for vendor

Whenever a vendor contacts the SSC, agents can call up a fact sheet that helps them

adequately respond to the vendor's request. The fact sheet contains data, such as

open invoices, payments and master data.

Search for External Documents in the Shared Services Center

The employees of the Shared Services Center need to be able to access the most

complete information possible about the past communication with a customer. This also

has to be possible if this communication has already been stored in an optical archive.

The Document Search function on the CRM user interface lets AIC agents search for

documents that are relevant for a business partner in a number of backend systems

and to display these documents, as needed.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6 the business function Internal Self-

Services, Enablement for Fin. Shared Services is available. With this business function,

you can implement self-services in your shared services center that allow users to

process their own service and change requests. You can create master data related,

informational and account posting self-services such as, for example, Change a Profit

Center or a Vendor Factsheet Request.

Self-services allow requestors to retrieve or update their information as required. This

reduces the workload for your service center agents while improving the request

processing time and consequently the efficiency of the service.

The financial self-services can be deployed on either:

o SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6

The system where you choose to deploy your installation is also known as the self-

services hub system. You can deploy the installation on either:

o a single system which functions as both the business application system and the

self-services system (An example is a single system, such as ERP, where ISS is

installed. The system is also the system where the underlying business

processes are executed in the back-end)

or

o a central installation on a system which serves a central self-services hub

system which is connected to multiple business application systems, spanning

different releases

If you use the central installation, you only need to complete the self-service and

workflow configuration once. The central installation uses trusted RFC connections to

connect to the different backend systems.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Assets Held for Sale (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can

automate postings to handle subsidiaries in accordance with the new regulations in

IFRS 5 and SFAS 144 in cases of intention for sale or discontinued operations.

Assets Held for Sale

If a subsidiary with an intention for sale is acquired or the subsidiary is regarded as an

asset held for sale for other reasons, you must report the assets and liabilities for this

company separately in the consolidated balance sheet. The new functions allow you to

specify the time of the intention for sale for a consolidation unit based on specific

consolidation groups. They also allow you to reclassify all balance sheet accounts as

two target accounts (Assets Held for Sale or Liabilities Held for Sale).

Due to the intention for sale, a group-dependent revaluation of assets held for sale may

also be required. However, you cannot report minority interest for this revaluation. The

new functions allow you to suppress the adjustment of minority interest for reported

financial data for the relevant document types.

As of the time of the intention for sale, the depreciation of assets must be suppressed

in line with the new regulations. Using the new functions, you can revoke the planned

depreciation of assets or liabilities that you previously posted using a Capitalization

and Valuation Allowances task by consolidation group. You can also suppress the

posting of depreciation adjustments in documents of tasks for the elimination of

interunit profit/loss in transferred assets.

Discontinued Operations

When an entire business area is discontinued, you have to report the equity holdings

adjustments separately. Using the new functions, you can reclassify all income

statement accounts as one single target account (Discontinued Operations) as of the

time for discontinued operations.


To configure the settings for the new function, you perform the following steps in the

consolidation workbench:

Activation in the Consolidation Area

To activate the new functions, you select the Assets Held for Sale checkbox in the

settings for the consolidation area.

Customizing for Consolidation Groups

In the consolidation group attributes, you could previously specify the time (year and

period) of first consolidation and divestiture accounting for each consolidation unit. You

can now also specify the times (year and period) of the intention for sale and of

discontinued operations.

Customizing for Consolidation Unit Combinations

In a matrix organization, you can override for consolidation unit combinations the times



Page 176 of 222

of the intention for sale and of discontinued operations that you entered for each of the

dimensions of the consolidation unit characteristics.

On the Table Display tab page, you can enter these times directly.

On the Matrix Display tab page, you can enter these times on the detail screen. To

display the detail screen, choose the Detail option in the context menu of the checkbox

for a combination.

Customizing for Reclassification

In Customizing for reclassification tasks, the new Global Settings group box is

displayed with the following checkboxes:

o Assets Held for Sale

If you select this checkbox, you can use this task to reclassify balance sheet

accounts as the target accounts Assets Held for Sale or Liabilities Held for

Sale. You can also reclassify income statement accounts as the target account

Discontinued Operations.

If you select this checkbox, you must enter a non-initial value for the processing

type of assets held for sale in the Customizing settings for the trigger selection

of the reclassification method that you assign to the task. This value determines

whether the task handles consolidation units (or partner units) with an intention

for sale or discontinued operations or equity-method investee units with intention

for sale.

o Value Allowance of Assets/Liabilities

If you select this checkbox, you can use the task to revoke the planned

depreciation of assets or liabilities that you previously posted using a

Capitalization and Valuation Allowances task by consolidation group.

In Customizing for reclassification, there is also a new Check Settings node. When

you execute this function, the system checks the consistency of reclassification tasks

for assets held for sale as well as for reclassification methods and document types

assigned for these tasks.

Customizing for the Location of Values for Consolidation of Investments

If a revaluation of the assets held for sale is required, you must post this manually to

posting level 30 using a document type that is part of the calculation base for

consolidation of investments. Minority interests must be ignored.

In Customizing for the location of values for consolidation of investments, there is a

new No Minority Interest column in the Calculation Base screen area. In this column,

you must select the checkbox for the manual document type that you used to post the

revaluation of assets held for sale.

Depending on your requirements, you may need to configure additional Customizing

settings to ensure functions are applied accurately. For more information and

examples, see SAP Library for SAP ERP on SAP Help Portal at

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Load from Data Stream and Copy (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can specify

that the system is to ignore any data records from the source environment (BI

InfoProvider when loading from a data stream; source version or source group currency

when copying) in which all key figures are zero when it loads from data streams or

copies using the Delete All update mode.

Previously, when you selected Reported Financial Data or All Data Types as the

data type in a data collection method of the type Load from Data Stream or Copy, the

system also automatically read any data records from the source environment in which

all key figures were zero. If the breakdowns for the source data are incorrect, the

consistency check generates errors when writing the data to the target environment

although the key figures actually have no values. These types of errors in the source

data are irrelevant when the Delete All update mode is used.

If you activate the new business function, you can specify that the system is to ignore

these data records in which all key figures are zero when it loads from data streams or

copies the Reported Financial Data or All Data Types data types when update mode

Delete All is used.


To activate the new functions, select the new Ignore Data Records with Key Figure

Zero indicator in Customizing for the Load from Data Stream or Copy methods.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Historical Currency Translation Without C/I (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can perform

the historical currency translation based on additional financial data without having to

activate the consolidation of investments.

For the historical currency translation, you have to select Investments or Equity as the

procedure for exchange rate determination in Customizing for currency translation

methods. To be able to do this, the Investments and Equity data streams must have

been generated in the data basis. However, you could previously only do this if you had

activated the consolidation of investments in the settings for the consolidation area.

By activating the new business function, you can now activate the Investments and

Equity data streams without having to activate the consolidation of investments.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Document Type Assignment in the Balance Carryforward (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can define a

document type assignment in the Customizing settings for balance carryforwards. To

do this, you assign an automatic target document type to a manual source document

type. When you execute the balance carryforward, the system replaces the source

document type used to post the data records to be carried forward in the previous year

with the target document type in the data records carried forward.

If you posted manual corrections to remove errors from reported partner data after

interunit elimination, for example, you can use this function to carry forward the manual

corrections to your standard automatic document types for interunit elimination.


In the consolidation workbench, choose Balance Carryforward -> Document Type

Assignment, and enter the source and target document types in the table.

The following constraints apply:

o The attributes (such as the posting level) for the source and target document

types must be identical.

Exception: A manual source document type can be assigned to an automatic

target document type.

o If you have already entered a document type in the document type assignment

for the adjustment of deferred taxes, you cannot enter this in the document type

assignment for the balance carryforward.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Compare Investment to Equity (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can specify

whether the system is to display an error message or simply a warning when the

function to compare investment to equity is run in the consolidation of investments.

Activating the check previously always resulted in an error message when

inconsistencies were detected. If this is not the desired behavior, for example, because

the investment was reported outside the particular consolidation group, you can specify

that the system is to display a warning instead.


Once you have activated the FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS business function, a new

dropdown list is displayed next to the Compare Investment to Equity indicator in the

system utilization for consolidation of investments. Select the required value from this

list.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Hiding Statistical Items in the Log (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can

dynamically show or hide statistical items in the log for consolidation of investments.

Previously, you could specify in the system utilization for the consolidation of

investments whether the system was to display statistical items in the log. If you have

activated the FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS business function, an additional pushbutton

appears in the task log that allows you to show or hide the statistical items as required.

When you perform the consolidation of investments, the statistical items are initially

either shown or hidden in the log based on the setting you configured in the system

utilization settings. The new pushbutton enables you to then show or hide the statistical

items in the log display for the current task.

This function can also be used to display items from saved logs for consolidation of

investments.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Equity Method (Changed)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can carry

goodwill in the local currency of the investee unit when using the equity method. You

can also perform the equity method with group shares.

Goodwill in Local Currency

When you use this function, the system treats the goodwill as follows:

o The system manages the goodwill for an equity-method investee unit in the

goodwill ODS in the same way it does for purchase method units.

o The system posts the goodwill for the parent unit in group currency only.

o The system also posts currency translation differences for equity-method

investee units to both goodwill ODS and the documents for the Goodwill

consolidation of investments activity.

Equity Method with Group Shares

Until now, you could only perform the investment adjustment for the equity method with

direct shares of direct investors of the equity-method investee unit. The system

explicitly reports minority interest based on the group shares of the investors. If you

perform the equity method with group shares, the system adjusts investments for the

investors based specifically on their group shares. The system does not explicitly report

minority interest in this case.


Goodwill in Local Currency

When you previously selected the equity method accounting technique in the

Customizing settings for a consolidation of investments method, the Carry Goodwill in

Local Currency checkbox was not ready for input. If you activate the

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS business function, you can activate this checkbox. However,

in this case, you still cannot post the goodwill on the investee unit.

Equity Method with Group Shares

The system performs the equity method with direct shares by default. In Customizing

for consolidation of investment methods, you can specify that the system is to perform

the equity method with group shares instead.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Consistency Check for Manual Document Types (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can use a

new report to check the consistency in the control of document fields with respect to the

data model, and make any corrections required.

If you make changes to the data model after you have created document types for

manual postings, this can result in inconsistencies in the control of document fields for

the document types.

Until now, the system eliminated these inconsistencies when a data collection task was

run to which you assigned the inconsistent document type for posting documents. If,

when you execute the task, the system identifies this type of inconsistency in the

Customizing settings for a document type, the system attempts to correct this

inconsistency automatically. Where applicable, a message is also displayed requesting

you to save the changes.

A new report now checks manual document types for these inconsistencies and

eliminates them when you execute the report in the update run. We recommend that

you always execute the report whenever you have made changes to the data model.

Before you execute the report, specify the consolidation area in the global parameters.

The report only ever checks the manual document types for this consolidation area that

you specified in the global parameters. When you have configured this setting, execute

report UCUMD_REPAIR_DOCTYPE_FIELDOPT in transaction SE38.

Business Function FIN In-House Cash Module Enhancements

FIN_INHOUSE_CASH_1: In-House Cash Module Enhancements (New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension Financial Services, Enhancement Package 5

(EA-FS 605), the business function In-House Cash Module Enhancements

(FIN_INHOUSE_CASH_1) is available. You can implement this business function to

take advantage of new features in the In-House Cash solution.

A feature for cash concentration reference enables you to maintain a reference

between the bank customer account (BCA) payment orders and the In-House Cash

payment orders. When the cash concentration run takes place, two payment orders are

created - one from the BCA and another from In-House Cash. These payment orders

are now linked and the details are available in the logs of the In-House Cash payment

order.

A feature for payment order reversal is available. With this feature, you can reverse

payment orders for both cross bank and external payments. On reversing a cross bank

payment order, the reversal of the generated payment order takes place. On reversing

an external payment order, if the generated payment request is cleared then the

clearing document and the payment request is also reversed. There is a provision

available which lets you enter the reason for reversing the payment request and, if

available, the clearing document.

You can now unblock and post payment orders in bulk. The final posting of the

payment order occurs only when confirmation is received from the external bank.

The addition of a dual control checkbox enables you to control the dual control setting

when the In-House Cash account limit is exceeded.

function TRM, Financial Risk Management for Commodities (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM)

delivers functionality for the following commodity processes:

o Exposure Management for Commodities

Commodity Exposure Reporting (transaction TISCER)

Is a report to display the physical and paper trades of a commodity. The report

also displays the net long and short position of a commodity. One report can

display the volume, contract value and market value.

o Commodity Swaps

Feature enables you to create and maintain commodity swap deals. A

commodity swap is similar to an interest rate swap, but the parties exchange a

fixed price for a commodity with a floating, or variable, price for the commodity.

o Commodity OTC Options

Feature enables you to create and maintain commodity OTC option deals. A

commodity OTC option is a special kind of OTC option with an underlying

commodity forward. OTC deals are the result of discussion and negotiation

between two parties, without the intervention and/or regulation of a market-

exchange. The terms and conditions of the trades are completely deal-specific

and are formalized by a legal document called the confirmation document.

o Within Hedge Management you can hedge commodity risks

- Spot-Spot Method

The commodity hedging feature enables hedge management using a spot-

spot or dual-spot method to perform hedge accounting and effectiveness

tests on commodity hedges.

- Hedging with Commodity Swaps

Commodity swap offers the hedger the opportunity to convert floating price

contract to fixed price and vice-versa, hence helping to hedge the

commodity price risk.

o The delivered functionality includes transactions for commodity master and

market data including commodity curves, which enable you to represent future

commodity prices, including the cost of carry and convenience yield.

o FAS 157 Reporting

FAS 157 reports is compliance reporting of fair values of financial instruments.

The report displays the fair values of financial instruments and the system is able

to classify the instruments in 3 levels.

o Carbon credits and emission certificates trading

Due to the Kyoto Protocol, customers require trading of paper emission

certificates in the market. These certificates are in the form of instruments like

futures, forwards, and listed options. This new functionality allows trading in

these certificates under a new category, Weather.

Business Function TRM, Correspondence Framework 2

FIN_TRM_CORR_FW_2: TRM Correspondence Framework 2 (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 605), the business

function TRM Correspondence Framework 2 (FIN_TRM_CORR_FW_2) is available.

You can implement this business function to take advantage of the new

correspondence framework and use the following new features:

o Processing of SWIFT MT566 messages (dividend payments only)

o Mass approval of correspondence objects

Processing of SWIFT MT566 messages (dividend payments only):

You can store data received through corporate action messages as correspondence

objects, and can compare the data received through those messages. After an

incoming MT566 message is read, a corresponding correspondence object with the

status received is created. The incoming message is reconciled with the condition data

of the respective security ID. This can be triggered online by batch or automatically.

Once a correspondence object is created for an MT566 message, it becomes eligible

for comparison. The Business Add-In (BADI_TCOR_EVENT) replaces the comparison

logic between the calculated corporate action data and the data received through

corporate action messages. Tolerance between calculated corporate action data and

data received from corporate action messages is now available. An alert lets you know

when the difference between the calculated corporate action data and data received

from corporate action messages falls outside defined tolerances. If the comparison

fails, an alert process (if requested) is initiated.

Any correspondence object that has failed comparison during inbound processing must

be reconciled and coupled with a corresponding security ID, if one exists in the class

master data. In this case, status functions Reconcile is used in the status function

instead of Automatic Match.

Mass Approval of Correspondence Objects:

Bulk work items waiting for approval can be approved. Different services are available

for a work item, such as request, release, and resend. Details of a particular financial

transaction can be provided by a service display, which lists the details of the

correspondence object. The feature can be accessed through the new web application

Massapproval (transaction FTR_MASSAPPROVAL).


New functions

Under Transaction Manager -> Money Market / Freign Exhange / Derivatives /

Securities/ Commodities-> Trade /Back Office -> Correspondence you find the

following new functions for dividend payments:

o Reconcile Corporate Actions (transaction FTR_RECO_CORP_ACT)

o Reconcile Corporate Action in Batch (transaction FTR_RECON_CA_BATCH)

o Send for Approval in Batch Mode (transaction FTR_SEND_APPRVL)

Also we provide the new new web application Massapproval (transaction

o Cash Flow Hedges

o the special German category Units of Valuation (German: Bewertungseinheiten).

With the integration of positions and subpositions as financial objects into the Risk

Analyzer, you are now able to select directly by position and subposition. This

represents an advantage because the calculation of the net present value is based on

the positions/subpositions.

The Hedge Management for FAM provides a single point of entry for auditor enquiries

on hedging activities to identify hedged items and hedging instruments, to the

effectiveness tests and the documentation. With the new logical database TRM, Hedge

Management for FAM Reporting (FTI_TR_THX_HEDGE) you get a better access to the

- 522 UoV: FSTs as Hedging Instruments

- 532 UoV: FST Hedged with FSTs

This indicator has to be set, when you want to rollover a hedging relationship.

Within a fair value hedge you have to decide and document before designation, if

rollover is allowed for a hedging relationship.

Additional hint:

When in the hedging relationship the rollover isn't allowed, then the rollover of a

FST which is part of the hedging relationship isn't possible even if in the FST the

rollover is allowed.

This new status is used for Units of Valuation which do not need an effectiveness

test and also for the Shortcut Method.

FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR: Amortized Cost (New)

Use



(FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR), you can use the linear amortized cost (LAC) method or the

scientific amortized cost (SAC) method for debt securities, depending on the difference

between the purchase price and the nominal price. According to French GAAP, if the

difference between the purchase price and the nominal price of a debt security is less

than 10% of its nominal price, the LAC method must be used. If it is more than 10%,

the SAC method must be used.

To enable you to switch between these methods, you can assign an alternative position

management procedure to the Customizing records created for the assignment of the

default position management procedure. You also define a threshold that the system

uses to determine which position management procedure is required. A consolidated

assignment check enables you to keep track of the records created for the default

position management procedure and to update the assignment of the alternative

position management procedure accordingly.



Supply Chain Management under Treasury and Risk Management. In addition to

the required generic settings, you make country-specific settings in the following new


o Activate Alternative Pos. Management Proc. for Product Types: Specify that an alternative position management procedure must be

used for certain product types.

FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR: Capitalization Reserves (New)

Use



(FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR), you can post capital gains and losses from the sale of debt

securities to a separate balance account for capitalization reserves instead of to the

profit and loss account, as required by French GAAP. This feature meets the following

requirements:

o The posting amount is the difference between the sale amount and the

amortized book value, which is calculated using the scientific amortized cost

(SAC) method. Amortization is recalculated using the SAC method for debt

securities that have been amortized using the linear amortized cost (LAC)

method.

o Capital gains increase the account balance and capital losses decrease it, but

the account balance cannot be negative. If an account balance of zero is

reached when posting losses, any remaining capital loss is posted to the profit

and loss account.


A reconciliation report has been added to the area menu. This enables you to identify

financial transactions that have been incorrectly posted to the capitalization reserve

account, and to branch directly to the Manual Posting (FWBS) transaction to correct

the account balance.

To use the reconciliation report, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting

-> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management ->

Transaction Manager -> Country Specifics -> France -> Capitalization Reserves -

> Reconciliation Report.






o Activate Capitalization Reserves for Product Types: Activate the

calculation of capitalization reserves for one or more product types within a

specific valuation area in a company code and assign the amortization method to

the corresponding accounting code.

o Assign Update Types for Capitalization Reserves Posting:

Assign the update types for the capitalization reserves posting to the relevant

position management procedure.

o Assign Update Types for Manual Posting: Assign the relevant update

types for manual posting.

o Activate Functions for Company Code: Activate the capitalization

reserves function for the required company codes.

You can adapt the calculation of the account balance to your own requirements using

the new Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Calculate Balance for Capitalization Reserve Account.

FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR: FIFO Reevaluation (New)

Use



(FIN_TRM_INS_LOCFR), you can perform tax accounting and financial accounting for

the same assets by organizing them in parallel portfolio structures. This feature enables

you to do the following:

o Perform financial accounting according to French GAAP for separate portfolios

using the first in first out (FIFO) method (for example, nonregulated portfolios

that are created for each product class in the life insurance section of an

insurance company).

o Perform tax accounting according to French tax GAAP by consolidating the

positions in the separate nonregulated portfolios into one tax portfolio in an

additional valuation area and reevaluating the positions using the FIFO method.

You activate FIFO reevaluation for a specific company code. When business

transactions are performed in this company code, the system assigns the business

transactions to the additional valuation area that is being used for FIFO reevaluation

and copies the business transactions from the nonregulated portfolios to the tax

portfolio. It also maps the relevant security accounts to a separate security account

assigned to the additional valuation area.


To carry out FIFO reevaluation for existing business transactions, you can transfer

them to the additional valuation area by executing program

IDCFM_FRRF_TRQ_BUSTRANS_FILL in transaction SA38.






o Define Additional Valuation Area: Define the additional valuation area

that is to be used for FIFO reevaluation.

o Map Nonregulated Portfolios to Tax Portfolio: Map the nonregulated

portfolios to the tax portfolio.

o Activate Functions for Company Code: Activate FIFO reevaluation for

the required company codes.

o Check FIFO Reevaluation Settings: Check that the required

Customizing settings have been made for FIFO reevaluation.

Additional Release Notes

Enhancements for Foreign Currency Valuation (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), you can use

program FAGL_FCV in place of program FAGL_FC_VALUATION for foreign currency

valuation in new General Ledger Accounting. Not only does this program comprise all

functions that were available in program FAGL_FC_VALUATION, but it also contains the

following functions in addition:

o Saving Output Lists

To shorten the execution time of the program, you can save the output lists for

valuation runs in the database. For each valuation run, you can specify whether

the program only saves the output list or whether it saves the output list and also

displays it directly. You can call saved output lists at a later point in time either

directly with the program or by running the report Display Logs (FAGL_PROT).

o Direct Postings or Postings by Batch Input Session

You can specify whether the program posts the generated valuation documents

directly or whether it saves them for posting at a subsequent point in time in a

batch input session. When the postings are made directly, the system

automatically saves posting documents containing errors in a batch input session

for correction and subsequent posting.

o Resetting Postings on Basis of Valuation History

After postings have been made, you can reset them at a later point in time. For

this, the program determines the relevant foreign currency items (line items) and

foreign currency balances (accounts) as well as any corresponding valuation

differences from the entries in the valuation history. In the case of foreign

currency items, the system also creates a reset posting if the items were cleared

before or on the specified valuation key date.

o Use of Parallel Processes

To improve system performance, the program distributes the individual process

steps during execution across parallel processes.


Program FAGL_FCV uses the same data basis and the same posting logic as program

FAGL_FC_VALUATION.


This program does not need to be activated separately; you can execute it directly

(transaction FAGL_FCV). After you have run the program once in an update run in a

given client, the system always automatically starts program FAGL_FCV whenever

program FAGL_FC_VALUATION is called in that client. Consequently, it is not possible

to use both programs in parallel.

Recommendation

Likewise, in the case of valuation runs that you schedule using the Schedule Manager,

the system automatically starts program FAGL_FCV after the first time that it has been

used, automatically applying the selection parameters specified. If you want a complete

conversion from program FAGL_FC_VALUATION to the new program, we recommend

setting up a direct callup of program FAGL_FCV for these valuation runs.




Page 222 of 222

In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under General Ledger Accounting

(New) -> Periodic Processing -> Valuate -> Foreign Currency Valuation -> Define

Number Range Intervals for Valuation Run ID, you have stored number range

interval 01 of number range object FAGL_FCV.

Moreover, the program uses the same settings as program FAGL_FC_VALUATION.
