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.

When listening to Fireworks by Katie Perry the base notes sound raspy and distorted even though the eq is set to flat and have tried 2 studio monitor headphones. Has anyone run across this and how did you fix it?

When listening to Fireworks by Katie Perry the base notes Sound raspy and distorted even though th eq is set to flat. I have tried 2 studio monitor headphones when listening and the raspy sound appears with both. The distorted sound from the downloaded song from itunes doesn't show up when listening to it on the computer. No other songs that have been downloaded from CDs onto my ipod classic seem to have this problem. Has anyone else run across this and how did you fix it?

How to prepare cash flow statement (Direct Method)?

Dear Master,
I go through forums I got below the some points, this point I couldnu2019t understand.
Please explain detail how to prepare in cash flow statement (Direct Method).
Cash flow statement ( I Got some points)
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 Financial Statement Version in all respects, before designing your cash flow statement. OB58.
0SAPRATIO-04 Cash flow (direct) Form
0SAPRATIO-04 Cash flow (direct method)
You should know what format you would like to see in the cash flow statement.
You should use the FS items accordingly copy the standard forms and changed according to your format.
You should be conversant enough to do basic report painter.
Thanks & Regards

Selva,
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.
Please refer to SAP Help Online Documentation link regarding the Liquidity Planner (LP is part of SAP Financial Supply Chain Management - FSCM):
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/47/f23d4050d89523e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
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.

How to create a Cash Flow Statement?

Dear all:
I am trying to create a Cash Flow Statement, and my approach is to use Dimension formula to calculate on the fly. Is my approach the best practice, or should I use script logic instead?
Based on my understanding, if I use Dimension formula, I won't need to create new set Dim members to store the calculated values (such as Increase (Decrease) in A/R = A/R this month - A/R last month). However, I am having problem constructing the formula in FORMULAH1 column.
Given above A/R example, I tried to use [NetAR] - ([NetAR],[Time].[PRIOR]) to get the difference in value between this month and last month, but I received error message saying that "The hierarchy '[PRIOR]' was not found in the cube when the string, [TIME].[PRIOR], was parsed". Is there anyway to retrieve Next or Prior months data in MDX?
If my approach is not correct, please advise correct way.
P.S. I have searched the forum and someone mentioned using Account Transformation logic. I looked up Administration Help file but didn't grasp the concept of Account Transformation logic. Can someone explain in detail for me?
Thank you for your help!
Brian

Try not to use DIMENSION LOGIC, unless it is really simple.
This is a set of ideas from the BPC 5 demo that I often use for Cash Flow Statements. This may be modified for your use, but the idea is consistent. Just remember to prep the customer to understand that 1 time charges and 1 off changes to CF statements are more often added and managed manually since it they would always impact a CF report.
Logic from version 5 BPC Demo- Finance App
*INCLUDE SYSTEM_CONSTANTS.LGL
*SYSLIB CONSOLIDATION_LIBRARY.LGL
// MOVE INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
RUNSUMMARIZE(ThisApp,CF_SUMM,%CATEGORY_SET%,%LC_RPT_CURR%)
//CALCULATE BALANCE SHEET MOVEMENTS AND POST TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
*SELECT(%FROM_ACCOUNT%, "[ID]", "ACCOUNT", "[CF_TO_ACCT] <> ''")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = %FROM_ACCOUNT%
*XDIM_ADDMEMBERSET TIME = PRIOR
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=%LC_RPT_CURR%
*WHEN TIME
      *IS %TIME_SET%
            *REC(ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT)
      *IS PRIOR
            *REC(FACTOR=-1,ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,TIME=NEXT)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Changes to above:
Dependencies (libraries, properties, etc.)
- SYSTEM_CONSTANTS.LGL
- CONSOLIDATION_LIBRARY.LGL u2013 to run the Business Rules section
- The following dimensions, members and properties are assumed
          Account
               CF_TO_ACCT property which is on all base level accounts which are part of the cash flow statement. The value should be the cash flow account that they map to. The dimension values are the IDs so they are all assumed as names
               CF_SUMM property used to move the income statement items to the cash flow statement. Contains the formulas on the destination cash flow accounts that map the Income statement accounts.
          Time u2013 just the dimension name
          RptCurrency
          CURRENCY_TYPE property with a value of L or R
What does it do?
Step 1 - MOVE INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Use the formulas in the CF_SUMM accounts to move income statement values to the cash flow statement for all currencies based on the Currency_Type property
Step 2 - CALCULATE BALANCE SHEET MOVEMENTS AND POST TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
·        Select all accounts that have values in the CF_TO_ACCT property
·        Add the Prior time period to the time memberset
·        Run this process for all currencies based on the Currency_Type property
·        Take the value in the current period and the negative value of the prior period to calculate the periodic cash flow amount and write to the account designated in the CF_TO_ACCT property
IMPORTANT NOTE: this step does have an issue that will be corrected in future versions of the sales demo. The issue is that if you run this logic for 2007.MAR, the negative balance for 2007.MAR will be written to 2007.APR as well as 2007.FEB being written to 2007.MAR. The logic needs to be changed as follows to work
First create two members in the DataSrc dimension that both consolidate to PreAdj member of the DataSrc dimension named CF_Current and CF_Prior
Add the following statement after the *XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=%LC_RPT_CURR%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=
Change the REC statements as follows
*REC(ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,DATASRC=u201CCF_Currentu201D)
*REC(FACTOR=-1,ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,TIME=NEXT,DATASRC=u201CCF_Prioru201D)
Hope this helps somewhat. It is really hard to send this detailed stuff usingthe FORUM.

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.

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
Peter Juby

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.

Regarding cash flow statement direct method In FSCM-LP

Hello Every one,
I got information form SAP japan That we can View cash flow statement direct method but as per my point of view we can see the reports in FSCM-LP of cash flow .
Can any budy tel me is it possible to see cash flow statement direct method in FSCM-LP module if yes then please guide me how?
Thank you
Deepak Pawar

Hello,
Yes, you can get the cash flow statement (direct method) in Liquidity Planner.
Define the liquidity items for Operating cash flows, Investing cash flows and Financing cash flows. Then, configure the assignment mechanisms for liquidity items (based on account statement, FI postings, Invoices). Then, define queries.
Operating cash flow would include items like sales of goods and services, payments to suppliers etc. Investing cash flows would include items for sale and purchase of property, plant and equipment, etc. Financing cash flows would include items for debt issuance, dividends etc.

Cash flow statement...shows zero

Dear all,
When i run cash flow statement report, it shows zero only. I have enabled cash flow in the GL account. What else did i miss in the configuration?
Here attached the screen thanks.
http://home.netvigator.com/~raylamhk/snap1.jpg

Hi,
It looks that there is something going wrong in designing your Cash flow Statement.
You need to create a FORM in FSI4 and assign the same to report in FSI1.
You can see some of the standard cash flow forms in FSI5 or FSI6.
In your element definition, you need to pick the FS Item from Available characteristics to Selected Characteristics. FS Item is nothing but the node in your Financial Statement Version (FSV). You can see the FSV that has been created for your Chart of Accounts (COA) in OB58.
You should have a proper format for the Cash Flow Reporting for example:
1) Sales Revenues
Minus
2) Material Disbursements
Minus
3) Personnel Disbursements
Minus
4) Financial Charges
Plus
5) Other Incomes
Minus
6) Other operating disbursements
Minus
7) Taxes from Incomes
=
CASH FLOW
Like this you design your Cash Flow reporting then you start adding / substracting the nodes. Before, starting this activity, I would recommend that you go through your FSV and make sure that it is complete in all respects.

Ravi
