Balance Sheet * Cash Flow Planning

Hi
Did any body did the balance sheet and cash flow planning along with cost center planning and integrated with balance sheet in the BCS ? If yes, please provide the information on the approach to create these plans like how the data model should be and what are the various challenges that are encounter ?
Any insight or documentation on the approach is highly appreciated. I know we have delivered cube for Balance sheet and cash flow but there is very little documentation available for that cube.

Hello Raj,
I have worked on Balance Sheet Planning and relied on BW query for Cash Flow statement using Profit Center Planning. Also we used BCS actuals data in BPS for the purpose of rolling Forecasting. In this way we had actual Balance Sheet numbers as well as forecasted numbers based on current forecast version in BPS cube.
For the purpose of Balance Sheet calculation (SEM-BPS 3.5 version) standard delivered balance sheet functions were used, such as Cumulative balance, Offset function, Timelag, Depreciation etc. We are live based on this functionality and things are working as expected.
I hope this helps.

PLease share any documents if you hae.

Hi SG,
What Raghu has shared are the best practices. However, what you need is the understanding of the these financial statements from a general perspective (not BPC). These documents are just financial statements. BPC is just a tool, in which you can create these statements. But, in order to create these statements in BPC, you need to understand the basic terminologies of the financial statements.
You can search them directly. on the internet.
Hope this helps.

RE-FX - Transaction RERAPP - No cash flow planned records found in selected

Hi everybody.
I am running the transaction RERAPP - periodic posting: contracts, and the following message is returned:
No cash flow planned records found in selected period
Message no. RERAPP012
Someone knows how to solve?
Thank you.
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
The following are the reasons for the message.
1. In the Terms tab of RECN, next to contract start date you can find a field called "Cash flow start date", Check whether it is start date of the contract or not, as based on that date system generates(plans) cash flow which gets posted by RERAPP.
2. In the RERAPP screen due date field by default shows <= symbol, means any cash flow planned before or on the date given should be posted. So, check your RERAPP Run's Due date and Green color symbol next to it, and enter contract end date there to see cash flow.
3. In some cases i observed that if you reverse your RERAPP postings and try to rerun RERAPP with modified condition amount, system showing the above message, so in this case we need to regenerate the cash flow using the regenerate cash flow Transaction code available in RE-FX> Tools> Cash flow regenerate for the given period, then need to execute RERAPP as explained above.

Setting up Balance Account for Balance Sheet in Hyperion Planning

We are using version 11.1.2.1.0.83 of Hyperion Planning. What is the best way to setup a balancing account for the balance sheet? Should it be store, or dynamic calc? Should a Member formula be used or should it be done via a calc script? What would the member formula look like?

Hmm, I give you the answer, you mark it as answered but don't give me any points, and now you ask another question? I only do this for the points. <grin>
I am still curious as to whether this can be accomplished by embedding a member formula in the balancing account and, if so, what the embeded formula script might look like. ^^^The formulas I illustrated and you implemented could be put into a dynamically calculated member. So long as the account to be balanced is first (I am thinking calculation order) the dynamic calc should be just fine. I've used that approach in Planning apps in the past.

Query for Balance Sheet comparison Actual/Plan

Hello,
I try to create a query in the BEx using the cube 0FIGL_V10 to display the balance sheet and p/l statement in BI. It works fine with comparison actual/actual but I don't know how to make a comparison between actual and plan figures.
I am using as filter criteria the dimensions value type ([0VTYPE 10 which is actual and 0VTYPE 20 which is plan). But how is it possible to display it in the right line and columns.
I need to fix this be the end of next week. So please answer as soon as you can.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Robert

Hello Sam,
thanks a lot for you pretty good answer. It works perfectly but there is one thing left, maybe you can answer that too:
I want to display 3 actual periods but only one plan period. How can I realize this?
Thanks again for your prompt help.

No Results in GL Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Reports

Hello Gurus,
I have installed and configured OBIA 7.9.6 financials for oracle EBS 12.1 as per config document.
Modified GL group account names, codes mappings as per business req.
Did a full ETL load and it was successfull.
Now on the reporting side, we don't see any data in the balance sheet, cash flow reports.
My understanding is, this is because group account numbers are changed and I need to do some customization on RPD file as well.
Could you please correct me if I am wrong and suggest me any best practices to customize for financial analytics.
Many Thanks.!
Edited by: obiuser on 07-Oct-2011 05:58

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I couldn't find 3.2.1.4.3 section in 7.9.6 config guide. Hope you are refereing to 7.9.6.3 guide.
On further investigation we found that there is no data in W_AP_BALANCE_F, W_AR_BALANCE_F tables.
This might be the reason for not having data in AP, AR Overview dashboard pages.
Actually what we have done was, added some new group account codes such as MAINTENANCE to the codes file and updated names, fstmt files accordingly.
Rest of the group codes, names such as AP, AR..etc., all were left as it is.
I have another question, How can I know a group accnt code belongs the certain account range.?
Our financial team member says there is nothing like that and he can't give the accounting range.
Can you please help to understand this concept.
Many Thanks.

Cash Flow Statement (Indirect Method)

Dear Experts,
I am trying to prepare the cash flow statement. Transaction figures during the period are tallying with the balance sheet, i.e., Net cash flow during the period. But, not opening cash balance and closing cash balance.
We went live in to SAP on 01.12.2010. Our fiscal year is K4 (Jan-Dec). How to upload the opening balances into cash flow statement?
Kind Regards,
Siva

Hi
Can get the output in the reort by assigning your Chart of account and GL accounts pertaining to your COA. You have to click on the change Icon otherwise it will show as greyed out.
1) Preparation of FSV is a good option but how will you address "Change in receivables" like that items in FSV?
2) GL's can be linked to the report as told earlier.
3) Still in the process of exploring.
4) "Relevance to Cash flow" tick has no relavance with the cash flow report.
5) Activation of Cash management has no relevance with cash flow report.
6) There is no special configuration required for Cash flow.
The only problem here is getting the output for items like change in inventory etc. If this could also be brought in this report, it would be a wonderful report.
GL accounts can be mapped with this report. The problem you may be facing is due to the reason that you might not have clicked the change icon, that is why it is showing as greyed out.
Cheers

Balance sheet values to PCA

HI All
In classic GL how does balance sheet values flow to PCA?

You have to assign the accounts in PCA. (NOT the reconsilation accounts)
Run on the end of the month the reports:
Balance Sheet Adjustment (FI)
F.5D - Calculate
F.5E - Post
F.5F - Display Log
F.5G - Special Functions
Period-End Closing PCA
1KEK - Transferring Payables/Receivables
2KES - Balance Carryforward

Cash flow statement (direct)

Hi experts,
I'm using SAP ECC6 and I'm aware of SAP has provided "Liquidity Planner" process.
Anyone knows where to get the step by step configuration on this ?
I heard that Russia has a model in standard SAP. Any example of configuration documentation also would be very helpful.
Thanks,
-M-

M,
The tool you are looking for is SAP Liquidity Planner. We have succesfully implemented direct cash flows in SAP ECC 6.0 with this tool and it works like a charm. Cash flow calculation is done in SAP ECC and reports in BW (optional). You may also complement your cash flow model by using BW-BPS for future cash flow planning and forecasts.
Below are a few useful links:
SAP Help Online Documentation link regarding the Liquidity Planner:

Direct Cash Flow calculation had long been a lagging issue in SAP R/3 until the arrival of the Liquidity Planner. As far as I know, before this there was no straight-forward solution for the direct method. You might be going down the wrong path by asuming that building a Direct Cash Flow is just a "reporting issue". I strongly suggest you take a look at the Liquidity Planner before anything else.
Let me know how it goes.

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars
