Implementing Cash Flow (Indirect Method)

Hi,
Does anyone know what's required to implement Cash Flow (Indirect Method)? (T-code:S_ALR_87012272)
Thanks,
CW

Hi Dan,
Very interesting! Though, I didn't get the answer. Think it would be very favorable for everybody, if you explain in more details.
AFAIK, data is stored in BCS periodically. So, do you imply that it's possible to create cash flow for any set of data in the system (because of periodicity)?
Talk about ttypes and breakdown categories are also not very clear for me.
Anyway, I'd like to talk functional, not SAP (or some other IT) language.
Here we go.
Did you say that you used to create the cash flow report on the fly, by using some calculations in BEx?
And the same for eliminations in cash flow?
Did you do eliminations in CF?
If yes, then I would suggest that you were lucky, having local and group currency the same, USD?
As BCS consultant knows, the indirect cash flow report consists of 3 parts: net cash flows from operating activities, finance and investing ones.
NCF from operating activities is usually calculated as net profit (before or after taxes) with some corrections that are calculated as differences in reported-beginning balances on some accounts. Would you calculate them in local or group currency? Taking into account that there might be no real movement in cash (local currency), but currency rate has changed?
Financial & investing activities MUST BE PROVIDED in direct sense, like: dividends received, interests paid for credits and loans etc. There is, usually, no such information, only some netted activities. You need to get them additionally. How did you get them?
So, the main question is:
how would you calculate the CONSOLIDATED INDIRECT cash flow report
having different local currencies (and a different group currency), with some intergroup activities?
Everybody will appreciate your input on this subject.

Hello Ajay
It happens due to different settings mostly in FORM e.g. FSV set in the form would be INT where as you have your own FSV. Similarly you need to check each and every item and change suitably.
Run the report via above tcode again, then a screen will appear saying u201CNo records were selectedu201D
In this screen you can see the FSV used in General Data Selection (4th box) which you need to change by pushing u201CFORMu201D push button on the extreme left side, > Go to edit menu>Gen data selection > make changes suitably.
However do not make changes to the standard report / form, so copy the standard report with your own naming and make the changes where ever required.
Hope it works!

where can i maintain formula components and how to create and link the GL Accounts.

Hi Victor,
Cash Flow S_ALR_87012271 is the std cash flow where you have to assign gl. After excuting report. Click on form and assign gl to FORM :- 0SAPRATIO-04 Cash flow (direct).
But it's std format so you will not get the report of cash flow which will show the total inflows and outflows in the bank account as per comapny scenario. For this u have to take ABAP person help to create cash as per comapny requirement.
