New Functionality with FICO-Reconcile Tool
Agenda :
– Single Steps of FICO-Recon Tool– Supported Business Processes
– Data model
– Data selection– Automated matching and storage
– Data presentation and reconciliation
5
– Communication- and tracking support– Availability
– Technical aspects
– Implementation (see last slide)
Steps of Reconcile with FICO-Reconcile Tool
– Retrieve relevant data from FI, CO-OM and CO-PA– Store relevant data in central system � Global Special Ledger– Assign documents automatically based on customizable business
rules (hard rules; e.g. same reference, Sales Order, Material-number and so on)
– Access central system (local or group accountants, controller)– Find matching documents using customizable business rules (soft
rules; e.g. same document date, local currency and amount)
6
rules; e.g. same document date, local currency and amount)– Assign matching documents– Communicate with other users by e-mail and workflow– Enhancement of functionality possible through BAdI (e.g. posting of
correction documents in operative and/or reconciliation system)– Posting from FI,CO can be overtaken Online and in Batch into the
Special Ledger– Postings in CO-PA can be overtaken in Batch or start the TC:
FBICS2 - GL Accounts: Select Documents into the Ledger.
Supported Business Processes
– Reconciliation of Open Items at key date – GL accounts with open item management– Customer/vendor accounts with open item management
– Reconciliation of documents according to posting date– GL accounts with posting in FI,CO-OM and CO-PA ���� FICO-
Reconcile Tool

Data Model
�Mandatory characteristics– Company – Partner company
– Document Number
– Transaction currency– Amount in transaction currency
– Local currency
8
– Amount in local currency
�Additional characteristics– Any additional document characteristics
– Material number– Sales Order– Sales Order item– Purchase Order / Item– …
– Any customer definable characteristics
Data Selection with SAP-Integration
�SAP Integration– Data selection across SAP systems– Access via RFC (Remote Function Call)
– Function modules for data selection are available for– 4.6C– R/3 Enterprise– SAP ERP
– Components for data selection
9
– Components for data selection– FI – Documents– FI – Open Items on GL accounts – FI – Open Items from sub-ledgers– BAdI’s to select Data from outside of FI and SAP-Sy stem
– Automatic derivation of– Company from company code– Group account from operative account
Data Selection from Non-SAP Systems
�Non-SAP systems– SAP provides a programming interface for the data selection of documents
and/or balances– Pull principle
– Data selection program calls customer specific data selection logic (BAdI)*– Data selection program stores data in ICR(#) database– Example: Read from legacy system
– Push principle– Non-SAP application calls SAP function module
10
– Non-SAP application calls SAP function module– SAP function module stores data in ICR(#) database– Example: customer creates web transaction for supplying data
– (*) BAdI = Business Add In � ABAP Objects– (#) ICR = Intercompany Reconciliation

Data Selection – Further Aspects
�Pre-requisites– Data delivery from the source systems contains global characteristics
�Standard validations– Valid companies
– Valid group accounts
�Customer specific validations– SAP provides BAdI
13
– SAP provides BAdI
– User-exit
– Examples for customer specific validations
– Valid combinations of company/profit center
– Valid characteristics for any sub-assignments
– . . .
�Monitoring– Storing of logs for data selection per company
– Information: date, time, user, …
Data Storage
� Technical aspects
� Documents are stored in reconciliation system using standard FI-SL functionality (2 Tables: Line-items and sum items)
� Standard reporting tools for FI-SL are available fo r reconciliation data:– Report Writer / Report Painter
– Drill-down reporting
– Data export to SAP Business Information Warehouse
14
– Data export to SAP Business Information Warehouse
� Functional aspects
� Changes to documents will not be overwritten by new data selection– Reconciliation of Open Items
– Data selection program determines whether document has been transferred before – only new documents are added; cleared documents are deleted.
– Reconciliation of documents
– Delta selection (only newly posted documents are tr ansferred)
Data Selection, Storage, Presentation, Analysis
To sum up– Select data from operative systems (e.g. as scheduled
background job from SAP systems and flat file upload for non SAP systems)
– Store data in central Reconciliation System (ERP2005)– Assign documents automatically using customizable rules (e.g.
matching reference numbers)– Present data to accountants responsible for reconciling
15
– Present data to accountants responsible for reconciling differences (local accountants or group accountants –depending on organizational structures)
– Using communication tools like e-mail – Store communication or process status to specific problem
processes– Replacing completely the Account-based CO-PA– Accelerate closing and reconcile process significan t
