Hi,
It depends on your format of cash flow. You have to obtain a cash flow format and work accordingly to include the relevant GL accounts. I have given a sample format.
Operating Profit before Depreciation
Add (Less): Decrease / (Increase) in Working Capital
(Increase) / Decrease in Debtors
(Increase) / Decrease in Inventory
(Increase) / Decrease in Loans & Advances
Increase / (Decrease) in Creditors & Provisions
Less: (Capital Expenditure)
Net Cash generated from operations
Add: Opening Balance of Cash & Cash Equivalents
Less: Closing Balance of Cash & Cash Equivalents
Net  Cash Outflow
Thanks

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • R12 EBS: Cash Flow Statement using FSG

    Hi,
    I am looking for white papers/guidance for building Cash Flow Statement using FSG. I want to develop the Cash Flow statement using Indirect method.

    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    The trick is you should be able to trace cash items.
    For the Depreciation and Amortization you can use the depreciation expense a/c and amortization a/c.
    Provision for losses --  Provision for doubtful debt a/c
    Increase/decrease in AP,AR and Inventories-  You can use PTD balance

  • Cash Flow Statement Indirect Method India

    Hi,
    Can anyone provide me the link as to how to configure Cash Flow Statement in R/3 through indirect method to meet the Indian Companies Requirement.  
    Aravind Boddupalli

    Hi,
    Though I am not clear what is your exact requirement, I have some inputs.  The Cash & Liquidity management module will enable you to generate cash position & liquidity forecast statement.  These reports include, cash position, liquidity forecast (for receivables, payables.. data from invoices, PO/SO, etc.).  I think this is what do you mean by indirect method.
    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
