Extraction of Promise to Pay Data You can now extract all promise to pay data to Business Intelligence (BI). You can run the extraction as a full upload, as a delta initialization with or without data, and as a delta update. Extraction structure: The extraction structures FKKPPBW_DELTA and FKKPPDBW_DELTA contain all fields that could be relevant for evaluation in BI. The DataSources 0FC_PP (Promise to Pay Header) and 0FC_PPD (Amount Due Per Payment Date) deliver all these fields for extraction. Full upload/Delta and initialization without data: Extractor FKK_BW_P2P supports selection of entered dates in full upload or DeltaInit modes, and transfers promise to pay data from the ERP system to the BW system. Delta update: Transactions that create, change, replace, withdraw, reactivate, evaluate, approve or reject promise to pay data; such as Valuation of Promises to Pay (FP2P), and Promises to Pay of a Business Partner (FP2P1), set the trigger in trigger table DFKKP2PBW for mass activity Update Delta Queue (FPBW_EXTRACT) to extract the data to delta queue. The Update Delta Queue transaction is found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Utilities Industry -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Periodic processing -> Extraction for Business Intelligence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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
Release Notes for Financials SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0
Page 47 of 210
SAP
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.

Invoicing (New)
Invoicing Function: Set Installment Plan to Due To be able to take the total receivable of an installment plan into account in the final invoice amount, until now you had to manually cancel the installment plan before invoicing. As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can now use the Set Installment Plan to Due invoicing function. Using this invoicing function, you can have the system automatically set all installments of an installment plan, which are not yet due at the time of invoicing, to have the same due date as the invoice. In this way, you can, for example, set all receivables of an installment plan to have the same due date as the final invoice when you create the final invoice. Invoicing Function: Writing Off Receivables and Credits in Invoicing You can write off amounts in invoicing, for example if it is clear that the business partner will not be paying the amount, or if the costs of collection are greater than the amount to be collected. You can also use this procedure to write off credits, if it is not possible to pay them to the customer.

Billing (New)
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use new enhancements in Billing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. You can now import, bill, and manage billable items from various external systems. You can continue to use the existing processes in Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for EDR management and management of billing accounts. The new billing process is completely compatible with the solution as delivered up to now. However, to improve transparency, the structures for Customizing settings and transactions in the SAP Easy Access menu for the solution have been changed, as compared to their structure up to and including SAP enhancement package 4. The previously existing functions now appear under the heading Billing-Account-Based Billing. Import and Management of Billable Items The following functions are available for importing and managing billable items: o Configuration of billable item classes For the configuration of the interface for the data import, a billable item class describes the technical attributes of the billable items. You define these attributes step-by-step in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration ->Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Classes -> Maintain Billable Item Classes. Generating interfaces for billable item classes In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you generate the objects that are necessary for the data transfer and the storage of data for a billable item class (under Integration -> Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Classes -> Generate Interfaces for Billable Item Classes ). In addition to the generation itself and the log of the generation, the system creates a generation history in this Customizing activity. You can also display the generated objects. Saving billable items By means of your configuration of the billable item class, you can have the system store billed items and simulated billed items separately on the database. To optimize data storage for billed items, you can define the data storage in Customizing as time-dependent (under Integration -> Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Management -> Make Settings for Data Storage). By entering residence times, you can delete billed items in database tables that are no longer used. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Invoicing -> Delete Data -> Billed Items. Monitoring billable items There are functions for monitoring billable items based on their status group. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -> Monitoring. In addition, you can change the status of individual billing transactions by excepting billable items from processing, or by restoring them so they can be processed. You can display billed items. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -> Document Display -> Billing Document, and then choose the Source Data tab page.

To transfer raw data into billable items (for both test purposes and for productive data), on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Processing of Raw Data. Processing Billable Items In billing, you bill the billable items of contract accounts. The billing process controls billing by specifying the rules used for selecting billable items and for automatically grouping them into billing units. For each billing unit, the system creates a billing document with a new origin process 007 (Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable). You invoice billing documents with origin process 007 (Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable) later in Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. You can enter a grouping variant for the billing process. This grouping variant allows you to decide how billable items are aggregated in the items of the billing document during billing. The grouping characteristics of the grouping variant control the aggregation of billable items into billing document items. Using the system settings for scheduling, you can specify a target date for billing. You enter rules for calculating the target date for billing in Customizing. You can have the system execute billing automatically, or you can perform billing in dialog mode (on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing -> Automated Billing or Billing in Dialog). You can reverse billing documents. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Billing > Billing in Dialog -> Reverse Billing Document. In addition, billing offers integration with SAP Convergent Charging , as well as functions for processing one-off charges . Effects on Customizing You make system settings for Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Integration -> Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in these activities: o Billable Item Classes You can make settings for generating the interface for the data import from another system.

Change Mode for Raw Data Monitor In the raw data monitor you can now: o o Change individual field contents Change multiple field values for multiple items at the same time using a mass change
For more information, see the documentation of the Analysis of Raw Data report. In Customizing, you can define which fields can be changed. Note These functions are only available in the raw data monitor. Processing Rules for Billable Items A feeder system that determines charges and prices for billable items (such as SAP Convergent Charging) sends these items to the ERP system. In the ERP system you can now specify: o o If items with errors should also be imported to the ERP system Which status (raw data, billable) the imported items should receive in the ERP system
For more information about the settings for this, see the documentation for the processing rules. Prevention of Multiple Transfer of Billable Items To prevent the feeder system from sending billable items more than once to the ERP system, you can define a unique secondary key for the affected tables in the configuration of the billable item class.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
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
Release Notes for Financials SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0
Page 91 of 210
SAP
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.

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.

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).

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.
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").

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.

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.

Processing of SWIFT MT566 messages (dividend payments only): You can store data received through corporate action messages as correspondence objects, and can compare the data received through those messages. After an incoming MT566 message is read, a corresponding correspondence object with the status received is created. The incoming message is reconciled with the condition data of the respective security ID. This can be triggered online by batch or automatically. Once a correspondence object is created for an MT566 message, it becomes eligible for comparison. The Business Add-In (BADI_TCOR_EVENT) replaces the comparison logic between the calculated corporate action data and the data received through corporate action messages. Tolerance between calculated corporate action data and data received from corporate action messages is now available. An alert lets you know when the difference between the calculated corporate action data and data received from corporate action messages falls outside defined tolerances. If the comparison fails, an alert process (if requested) is initiated. Any correspondence object that has failed comparison during inbound processing must be reconciled and coupled with a corresponding security ID, if one exists in the class master data. In this case, status functions Reconcile is used in the status function instead of Automatic Match. Mass Approval of Correspondence Objects: Bulk work items waiting for approval can be approved.

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
