Mass Change of Documents


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. Effects on Customizing 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
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. Effects on Customizing

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.

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. Effects on Customizing 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.

Collections Management (New)


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. 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. 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,

Credit Clarification (New)


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). 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. Check The system creates a repayment request for all selected items. Write-Off The system writes off the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items together. 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. Business Partner Transfer The system transfers the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items to the specified business partner. 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.

Dunning

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.

External Cash Desk Services (New)


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. 9. The system records the reported cash desk closing in tables DFKKEXC_SUM and 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. i. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported cash desk closing, and no longer

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. 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. 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.

Information Containers (New)


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 o 0001 (returns) with service operation PaymentReturnERPOccuredBulkNotification_Out 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 o FKK_PAYRETBULKOCCNO for information container category 0001 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.

Integration (New)
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

Release Notes for Financials SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0

which business partners are transferred. The system can calculate the following standard key figures and transfer them to SAP Credit Management: o o o o o o o o o o Open items Payment methods Payments Collections Dunning notices Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) Promises to pay Returns Deferrals and installment plans 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.

Postings and Documents


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. 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)


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.

Effects on Customizing 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. See also For more information, see the SAP Library for SAP ERP on the SAP Help Portal under http://help.sap.com/erp -> SAP ERP Enhancement Packages -> ERP Central Component Enhancement Package 5 -> SAP ERP Central Component.

Enhanced Consistency Checks for Documents (New)


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. 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. 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. 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.

Effects on Customizing 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.

Update of External Tax Systems (New)


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.

Withholding Tax (New)


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 80.00 Liability to business partner (open item) 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] 80.00 20.00 Clearing item for withholding tax amount Expense 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 subitems 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)

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)


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. 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

SAP

What's New? Release Notes


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.

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. 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. 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. Effects on 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 o o Company code Tax type 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 o You can make an entry in Customizing for each tax type. Then numerous entries point to the same G/L account. 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 CustomerSpecific 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.

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:

You can print the invoicing order for an SD billing document together with the invoicing orders of other source processes in one common invoice. 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. Effects on Customizing 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.

Billing Cycle (New)


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. Effects on Customizing 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 o In the Define Scheduling activity, you define the technical key for scheduling. Under this key, you define how further processing takes place. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

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 o o In Asset Accounting and in Cost Center Accounting For actual price determination, and For cost of goods manufactured and the inventory values

Effects on Existing Data


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 o To calculate the cost of goods manufactured taking into account the prices in the leading version, you carry out a periodic Costing Run. 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.

Effects on Customizing
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) b) Check the settings in version 0 (leading version, for example, according to IFRS) 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) b) Check the transfer of depreciation for assets to Controlling under Transfer Depreciation from Asset Accounting to Controlling 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. 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. 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)


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 o o The system distributes the impairment amount dependent on the net book value of the individual assets. 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. 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 o Depreciation revaluation (increase of accumulated depreciation) 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 (FIAA) 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. Effects on System Administration If you want to use the new depreciation calculation, you have to activate the add-on FIN EA-APPL. Effects on Customizing 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 o o o Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (debit) for current year (transaction type group A2) Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (debit) for previous year (transaction type group A1) Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (credit) for current year (transaction type group A2) Transaction type for impairment according to IAS36 (credit) for previous year (transaction type group A1)

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.

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. 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. 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)


As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), business 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 o If you use the accounts approach, you assign a different account grouping code to each delta run. 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. Effects on Existing Data 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. 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).

Effects on Customizing 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 FIGL (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 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. 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 o o Business Area Profit Center 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. Effects on Existing Data 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).

FIN_GL_CI_3: Reading Totals Records from Archive (New)


As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), business 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 o o Summary reports that are based on the logistical database SDF G/L Account Balance Display (transaction FAGLB03) 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. Effects on Existing Data

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 o o From the database, From the archive, or From the database and from the archive

FIN_GL_CI_3: Number Assignment for Asset Transfer (New)


As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), business 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. 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. Effects on Customizing 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
From SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the business 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.

Effects on Existing Data


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). 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). 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).

Effects on Data Transfer


The new Basic Type FAGLDT01 belongs to the new distribution scenario. There are the following new message types: o o FAGLDT01 for single document transfer 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.

Business Function FI-GL (new), Reorganization and FI-AA Segment Reports


FIN_GL_REORG_1: Profit Center Reorganization and Segment Reports (New) Use
From SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the business function FI-GL (New), Profit Ctr Reorganization and Segment Reports is available. You can use this business function to achieve the following: o o You can portray the reassignment of profit centers in new General Ledger Accounting (Profit Center Reorganization). 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. 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, Release Notes for Financials SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0

Page 90 of 210

SAP

What's New? Release Notes

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 o o o Fixed assets Inventory (raw materials, work in process, finished products) Receivables 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 o The reorganization of group assets is not supported. You can only reorganize materials (master records and stocks) consistently if you do not use the Retail Method of Accounting (RMA).

For more information, see the following release notes: o o o o o Reorganization of Receivables and Payables Reorganization of Materials Reorganization of WIP and SD Objects Reorganization of Cost Centers 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 o In Asset Accounting, you can create various reports at the profit center or segment level. 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.

Effects on System Administration


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:

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of Receivables and Payables (New)

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: o 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)

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. 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.

Effects on Existing Data


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.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Reorganization of Materials (New)

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 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. 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).

The system supports you in the following activities: o Selection: The system automatically selects the materials that are affected by the reorganization of profit centers. Account assignment change: With a reorganization plan, you can change the profit center in the account assignments in the material master records for the reorganization date. 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).

Effects on Existing Data


Activating the business function FIN_GL_REORG_1 alone does not affect the dataset 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.

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 o You can change the profit center in the cost objects and reassign the affected fixed assets 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. The system supports you in the following activities: 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

Account assignment change: For the reassignment of asset master data For the reassignment of cost objects

Transfer posting: For the transfer of asset portfolios

Constraint: The reorganization of group assets is not supported.

Effects on Existing Data


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 o Assign a different profit center to the real estate key. 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.

FIN_GL_REORG_1: Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets (New)

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 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). 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. 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.

Effects on Existing Data


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 o If there is a cost object in the asset master record, the system derives any profit center stored there. 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. 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").

Effects on Data Transfer


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 102 of 210

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) b) c) Ensure that the prerequisites listed in this activity are met. Activate segment reporting. 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. 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: FAGL_ASSET_HISTORY_SHEET.

Business Function FI, Enablement for FSS


FIN_SSC_AIC_1: Business Function FI, Enablement for Financial Shared Services (New)
Use As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), the business 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 o Proposal list for the payment run (transaction F110) 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.

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.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Assets Held for Sale (New)


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.

Effects on System Administration 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

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. 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.

FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Load from Data Stream and Copy (Enhanced)


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 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.

Effects on System Administration 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. 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: Equity Method (Changed)


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 o 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. The system posts the goodwill for the parent unit in group currency only. 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.

Effects on System Administration 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.

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.

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 605), business function TRM, Transaction Management Localization for France (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.

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.

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). 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. 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. Use of Parallel Processes To improve system performance, the program distributes the individual process steps during execution across parallel processes.

Effects on Existing Data Program FAGL_FCV uses the same data basis and the same posting logic as program FAGL_FC_VALUATION. Effects on System Administration 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. Effects on Customizing
