Cash Flow Statement - Average Delay Field Effects

Hi Everyone,
Can somebody please explain exactly how the average delay on the business partner record affects the cash flow statement?
I ran a cash flow statement for 7/01/2008 thru 7/31/2008. I then found an invoice that was to be paid the week of 7/28/2008 (it hasn't been paid yet), and opened up the corresponding business partner record and changed the average delay from 0 to 10. I then re-ran the aging and nothing has changed. The invoice still appears in teh 7/28/2008 week to be paid. Am I missing a step or something? If I understand correctly, the invoice should have moved into the next week on the cash flow statement as this is when the customer will be paying it according to past payment schedules.
Thank you for your help.
Amanda

Hi Amanda
I just tested on 2007A PL37 and it worked fine. Moved to week based on due date + average delay. Are you sure you ticked the "Consider Delays in Payment" box? Also check again if the master record was updated with the average delay value you gave it. Let me know what version of SAP Business One you are running.
Kind regards

Adding field 'Document Type' to Cash Flow Statement form in FSI5

Dear SAP Experts
I am developing a 'Cash Flow Statement' using FSI5/FSI3 functionality. I need to have a field 'Document Type' in the list of characteristics.
Can anyone of you guide me how can I add this field?
An urgent reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Syed Zia Abbas

Hi Abbas,
I have few comments, which should help to solve your
problem. Please take a look to note 43661 which describes the
creation of new forms and reports.
Following are the steps to create the form and report:
FSI4 => Form type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Copy
             Form: Name and Text for the new form
             Copy from: 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI5 => find and double click the new form just created => Edit Gen.
data selection => change the FSV to what you want to use
FSI1 => Report type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Create
             Report: Name and Text for the new report
             With form: Name of the new form details please refer to standard SAP report 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI3 => find and execute the new report to check if you can get the
result you want.
To change the fin. statement version in the general data selections of
your new form is not enough. You have to check each line of the new form
too and replace the fin. statement items with items of your own fin. statement structure.
- The mentioned forms contain restrictions via for example financial
statement items in rows and years and/or periods in columns. But, if
you execute the reports, you get no results. It is because the forms
are just an example templates for items of financial statement version
(FSV) INT, which is also just a template.
To be able to get requested results, you have to create your own
forms (and reports based on your forms) with restriction via your
own financial statement version (in general data selection) and the
financial statement items corresponding to your FSV (in particular
rows). Otherwise, you cannot get any results, as there are no values
for the template FSV INT and items from the INT.
But it is up to you, how you arrange the form definition. It is
closely related to your own FSV definition.
I hope you find this information useful.

Business Partner - Average Delay field

Hi Everyone,
There is a field titled "Average Delay" on the business partner master data screen on the payment terms tab. I have been doing some research on how this field works as we've been asked to create a query to calculate a customer's DSO.
In my research I have found that this field is defined by the user and is used in the cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis is adjusted according to what the average delay is per customer.
Has anybody set anything up to automatically calculate the average delay for a customer? Or must you calculate this outside of SAP first and then enter the delays into SAP on a regular basis?
It would be helpful and convenient if a formatted search could be used on the field to do the caculcations automatically. Would this be possible and if so, how?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

Hi Suda,
I agree that it would be rather complex and could vary from person to person.
For example, you asked if the delay should be calculated from the due date or in other words the amount in days it took the customer to pay after their due date. In my case, I would want to see the number of days it took the customer to pay from the posting date. I wouldn't take the due date into consideration at all. Of course, our next customer may want something different and may request the calculation you brought up.
However, because the number entered into this field affects the cash flow statement, we have to be very careful as to how we use it. I've tried testing how this exactly affects the cash flow statement and haven't been able to quite follow it. But for this post, I believe the best answer is to do the manual calculation and manual entry.
Thank you,
Amanda

Cash flow statement implementation - how did you do it? GL or other modules

I would like to see the various ways you have successfully implemented a cash flow statement in the past.
1) So far, the only one I did involved ABAP reporting using logic to group gl accounts and filtering transactions etc.
2) Also, I've vaguely read that standard SAP's GL Lcash flow statement involves configuring a FSV which involves proper gl account structure to differentiate non-cash and cash related gl accounts.
3) I've heard some projects used document types or document text fields or new fields to differentiate line items (cash or non-cash)
Let's hear how you've done it with details if possible. Thanks.

Hi
Yes it involves GL Accounts Cash flow with configuring a FSV in SAP according to business requirement direct or indirect method.

Cash flow statement report..

How is the consolidated cash flow statements are generated. What are the specific movement types configured for this. Is all MT created and data collected from ECC with MT or it is part of BCS data collection only...
Do we have to create specific group account or group account created for the normal consolidation function will help.
Appreciate your inputs on this..

Hi Dan,
Can you please clarify the following :
For indirect method, I typically creat item hierarchy to facilitate cash flow reporting.
Question: What does this mean..a hierarchy to reflect the cash flow grouping?
For movement types most may originate in ECC as long as the Field Status Group allows this or requires this. These are usually used for assets and the corresponding accumulated depreciation, as well as equity, debt, certain reserves such as allowances for bad debt, etc.
Question: Besides the assets , the MT will be required for all accounts for report purpose in BCS. How to handle this alone in BCS, if ECC is not going to support the MT for anything other than asset account

SAP Reporting on Cash flow statement

Hi all,
in SAP, how can we configure / set up Cash flow statement report, especially for China? How?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suma,
No, you dont need to have cash management active in your system to get cash flow and funds flow statements.
Cash flow report defenition / design would depends on company to company.
Please go thru the below link to understand basic concept.
[Cash Flow Statement Example|https://www.zionsbank.com/pdfs/biz_resources_book-4.pdf]
Hope you must be fully aware of the above concept.
You can design your own cash flow statement using the financial statement items of your balance sheet in report painter/writer itself.
But you may need to fully acquainted with the report painter tool first.

Doubt in Cash flow Statement Query

Hi all,
In FI module i am trying to create query 'Cash flow statement' using infocube 0figl_c01.
For 'cash inflow' i restricted to debit postings for G/L account char. with two account number (200602 & 200611 as given by finance dept.) But the values are not matching as it extracts all the entries which come to that account for the posting period. But my requirement is to take only the entries related to document type 'DZ - Customer Payments' (for which there is no char. in the infocube or in the R3 Extractor).
How to solve the issue. do i have to create a generic data source and change the infocube?
Thanks,
Prakash

Hi Vachan,
Thx for the reply.
The entries in the InfoCube is correct. Is there any other method by which i can solve this problem. Because changing the datasource and InfoCube is tedious at this time.

Prakash

Cash Flow Statement Direct Method

Hi:
I was asked about how to prepare Cash Flow Statement via direct method. I noticed that in SAP GL, we do have a cash flow - direct method available, but the layout seems not perfectly matching to financial requirements.
So if I want to create a Cash Flow Statement via direct method up to financial management layout requirements, how many approaches that I could have?
(develop drill down report in GL?)
(using liquidity planner and SEM BCS?)
or is there any more efficient approach that you could recommend? Thanks.

Hello,
Create a form using FSI4 - Refer standard forms available in FSI5 and FSI6.
Create a report by using FSI1 (assign the form that you have created FSI4) - Refer standard reports available in FSI2 and FSI3.
Please make sure that you have completed your Fiscal Year Variant in all respects, before designing your cash flow statement.
Regards,
Ravi

Cash flow statement Query

Hi,
I had used the RSZC transaction to migrate query 0FIGL_VC1_Q0002 - Cash flow statement, based on 0FIGL_VC1 to a custom virtual cube which extracts data from a cube containing general ledger accounting (New) data. on execution of the query, no data is displayed.
In a similar fashion the query 0FIGL_V10_Q0001, which is based on virtual cube 0FIGL_V10 was migrated to the same custom virtual cube and was found to be executing.
has anyone faced similar issue with cash flow statement query?
