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.

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

The virtual Infocube in Cash Flow Statement

Hi Experts,
In Business Content the Sequence of Cash Flow Statement is below
0FI_GL_6->0FIGL_O06->0FIGL_C01->0FIGL_VC1->0FIGL_VC1_Q0002 Cash Flow Statement (Cash Flow)
I follow the flow and extract the transaction data from the datasource, finally I get the Cash Flow Statement report in BEx. but I still do'nt know why the system add the virtual Infocube 0FIGL_VC1 in the data flow.
Could someone give me some hits.
Edited by: nono.lee on Feb 24, 2011 10:57 AM

hi ,
Virtual Infocube 0FIGL_VC1 is used to get the real time data that is not present in the infocube 0FIGL_C01 during the execution of queries .
Data to infocube 0FIGL_C01 is loaded at regular intervals of time using the delta load .So the data is present in the cube upto a particular timeperiod .
When the query is executed , it first fetches the records from the infocube 0FIGL_C01 , then it searches for the real time data in the virtual infocube - 0FIGL_VC1. The virtual infocube - 0FIGL_VC1 does not contains persistent data in it , infact at runtime it executes the corresponding infopackages and searches for the new entries in the underlying table (new records that are created after the delta load to the infocube) if any and fetches them for displaying in the query output .
So by using a virtual infocube you get realtime data in your query output .
Hope this information would be helpful to you , to have an idea on the use of virtual infocubes .

Lokesh

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.

Ravi

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.

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 (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

Cash Flow statement as per Schedule 6

Hi
How can we map the cash flow statement as per schedule 6 of the companies act
regards
Rahul

Hello,
Cash flow statement format you need to ask the client according to their business requirements.
You have to create the FORM in FSI4 and attach the same to report in FSI1
Please refer FSI2, FSI3 and FSI5, FSI6 for your reference of reports and forms.
Please ensure before creating a cash flow statement, that your Financial Statement Version (FSV) is complete in all respects.

Cash Flow Statement as per AS3

I need to prepare Cash Flow Statement as per AS 3 i.e Cash flows from Operating Activities, from Investing Activities and Financial Activities ,
Kindly Advice how to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Shekhar

Hi ..
I do agree will Mr ( Fit for Many Things ) that using Report Painter .. you can do it..
But , the problem is that posting discipline is very much required in such cases . GL for cash and non-cash expenses must be segregated and incase some incorrect entry are there .. its very hard to validate ..
For any incoorect entry in GL account .. report painter will show incorrect values..
If we use ABAP or BW reports .. such validation checks can be made .. to ensure that cash flow statement is always correct.

SAP Cash Flow statement - Direct Method

Dear Experts
We are working on Cash flow statement - Direct method. We observed there is report for cash flow direct method i.e T.Code S_ALR_87012271. In this report we have changed the form as per the client cash flow format and assign the FSV to this form.
We done all the steps and executed the report . But we observed the values which we are getting in this report are "Accured based values" (Cumulative balances of that GL Account).
But as per our business requirement the values should be triggered in this report based on payment made and collection received during the period in the respective category as per the Cash flow format.
Ex: In cash flow statement Under Revenue head (Revenue GL Accounts are assigned) we need to capture actual revenue received for that particular period. But we are getting Cumulative balances of that GL Account.
Please suggest how we can get the values as per the payment and receipts basis for a particular peirod.
Thanks in advance
Rao V

Hi Waza
Thanks for the quick support,
I have already done the same process as you suggested, but my question is I want the values in this report (cash flow direct method) based on the "payment made and collection received during the period".
But as of now I am getting the Cumulative balances of relevant GL Accounts. It meanse the values should be based on cash receipts and payments made. In this report I am getting overall values (not Pyament/Revenue reciept wise).
Please suggest how we can achieve this ?.
Thanks once agian
