Indirect Cash Flow from Consolidation (EC-CS)

We want to produce consolidating cash flows from SAP and are considering 3rd party solutions as well as inside development.  We have multiple foreign currency entities and must follow U.S. GAAP.
Has anyone used the 3rd party solution from Buehrle at http://www.kapitalflussrechnung.com/en/ or other 3rd party solutions?
Any leads would be appreciated as well as comments on your experience.

Andrew Koszyk,
We have recently implemented SEM BCS for a global company with more than 100 company code spanning across globe and multiple currency.
We were able to get best reports using Bex analyzer , infact we created a dash board for cash flow ,we were able to get cash flows for various segments, groups, subgroups, and consolidation cash flows.
We created structured reports using Bex and with a combination of  excel work book and simple excel formulae ( not Macros) we were able to get the cash flow reports.
Try implementing  BW and pull the EC CS data to BW and use Bex report to create the consolidtion reports.

  • Disable population of 'Cash flow from' on rental  and pool space

    Hello,
    We want to disable the population of a date on  the 'cash flow from' field on the rental space and pool space. We want this field to remain blank when a new pool space or rental space is created. Please advise how this can be done.
    Any hints will be appreciated

    Hi,
    You can do this by making the filed Start Date of Cash Flow display in the Create activity in the following Customization.
    RECACUST > Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) > Master Data > Usage View > Rental Object > Dialog > Field Status
    In Field Status select Activity 01 (Create)  click on Field Grouping and set the field Start Date of Cash Flow as Display.
    But make sure that in the Activity  02 (Change) the filed is set as optional so that you can enter Cash Flow From in the change view for the Rental Object.

  • A report to view the cash flow from Purchase Orders.

    Hi All,
    Could anyone suggest me a report to view the cash flow (financial obligations) which comes from Purchase Orders?
    Thanks
    Gandalf

    Hi,
    You will have to activate basic cash management (part of FSCM) and use TCode FF7B (liquidity forecast). What the report would do is, based on the delivery date of the purchase order and the payment terms of the vendor (plus some grace days for clearing the payment as per configuration) determine the date of expected payments and project the cash (and bank) balance by days/week or months.
    Alternatively you can write your own ABAP code which will do the same thing.
    a. Take a list of all open POs and determine the delivery date (EKKO and EKPO)
    b. Add the payment terms as per purchase order to the delivery date
    c. Compute the cost of the purchase order item
    d. Display the report which projects expected payments by date

  • Consolidated Cash Flow (Indirect method) from BCS

    Hi all,
    I would like to find out how consolidated cash flow using indirect method be generated from BCS? Anyone has any ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jasmine

    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.

    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.

  • Cash Flow Statement Indirect Method India

    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,

  • Report for Cash flow (fund flow from Bank GL)

    Hi Expert,
    I would like to have your advice on how can I create this type of report?  Is it better using Fund Management?
    My client is asking on cash flow report in which the report should show all fund (cash at bank) movement.  Basically, the report should have 2 main category, which are Cash Inflow / Cash Outflow,for example:
    Cash Inflow
    - Payment received from customer
    - Interest received from FD at Bank
    - Other receipts
    - Government Subsidy Received
    - Government Grant
    Cash Outflow
    - Payment to vendor
    - Finance charge paid to bank (overdraft/loan, etc)
    - Operating Expenses
    - CAPEX
    - Other Payments
    For cash inflow, double entries involve to bank GL is as follows:
    DR Bank
    CR Item listed in cash inflow section, for example: payment received from customer (or CR csutomer), FD interest received (Revenue item of P/L), etc
    For cash outflow, double entries involve to bank GL is as follows:
    DR  Item listed in cash outflow section, for example: payment to vendor (or DR vendor), Payment to non-trade vendor (for asset purchase, etc), Interest paid (expense item of P/L), etc
    Questions:
    Since my debit or credit leg of my bank account, currently does not have any indicator that can explicitly indicator the nature of my inflow and outflow, how can I produce my report of cash flow show above?
    Note: It is extremely heavy for customized ABAP program to extract my bank entry and point back to the opposite leg to find the nature of my inflow/outflow as well.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    In ECC 6.0 EhP4 - A new feature has been added inorder to provide such a kind of cash flow report... You need to activate Business Function PSM_FA_CASH..
    Refer this link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/42/e34f2c31023ee1e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm...
    ... Under Business Functions in SAP ERP > Enterprise Busn Func > Accounting > Public Sector management > PSM, Cash basis accounting & Cash flow reporting
    Once you activate it, you will find additional nodes of IMG under SPRO > Public Sector management.....
    This works the same way as Doc Splitting... technically speaking, this new feature is extended arm of Doc Spliting... In Doc Splitting, you assign item Categories to each GL Account.... Similarly, you will assign a "Revenue / Expense Account" to each GL Account.... This R/E Account can be any alpha numeric text.... This R/E account then gets added as a Doc Splittin Char and is populated in every FI Doc that you post
    I have tried this in a test client a year ago and was more or less satisified with it barring some exceptions....

  • Consolidated Cash Flow Report

    In ECC 6.0 is there a way to generate a consolidated Cash Flow statement in Group Currency when there are 4 different company code currencies?
    I attmepted to use Mutltiple Local Currencies but I quickly found out why you can't start using this functionality after the Company Code has already been up and running.
    Any suggestions on how to generate a consolidated Cash FLow Statement?

    I did a search on here for Cash Flow and I've found some old threads with information regarding Cash Flows.  I think I should be able to piece together a solution via these other threads.  Next time I will do a search first.  Duh!
