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.

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.

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

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 satement(Direct Method)..

Hello guys,
When my client is excuting cash flow statement(S_ALR_87012271 -(Direct Method) , they are getting message like "no records were selected".
I Activated Cash Management OT29 (activate CM) and I selected the GL accounts relevant to Cash Flow.
But Still i am getting the same message, please provide me the solution.

Hi,
You can't execute this report directly and it won't give direct input.
You have to assign smart form and financial statement version, like certain configuration required.

Cash Flow Report - Direct Method

BW guru's, my client produces a monthly "Cash Flow" report based upon the "Direct Method". BW delivers an "Indirect Method" cash flow report which does not meet my clients requirements.

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.

Thank you

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 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.
