Letter of Credit treatment in liquidity forecast FF7B

Hi there,
My client has a requirement to display letter of credit for import purchase in the liquidity forecast report. My original thought is to treat the L/C as the the noted item using a special G/L indicator, so it can be captured in FF7B. However, this creates another problem, because the L/C related PO or AP amount will also be captured in the FF7B report. It cause the duplicate amount in FF7B
Any suggestions on display L/C amount only in the FF7B if the L/C is created?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Xuefei

Thank you very much Lucciano,
In fact I have already solved the problem and hoping it could also help others I will explain it.
This behavior for down payments it is correct as explained on sapnote 29926 because it prevents the system from considering them twice on Liquidity forecast: once from SD and afterwards from FI.
The correct way when SD updates TR, as per tx OT19, it is to let T074-EBENE field empty for this SpGL Indicators (or not because it doesn't affect).
And when it does not because on tx. OT29 "V_001_I-XFDSD - Update SD" field it isn't selected, the you have the "standard" option of:
1. With tx. OBXR enter entries on T074-EBENE fields, followed by
2. an appropiated FI substitution (tx. OBBH) of "BSEG-FDLEV" with T074-EBENE and
3. another substitution (tx. OBBH) for BSEG-FDTAG with BSEG-ZFBDT.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot!.

Transfer liquidity status subsidiaries to Headquarter CM liquidity forecast

In headquarters we have SAP Cash management with liquidity forecast FF7B. In some subsidiaries we have also SAP Cash management with liquidity forecast, other subsidiaries have SAP ECC but without Cash Management active. I understand with customizing of the distributed landscape in both headquarteru2019s and subsidiariesu2019 SAP Cash management headquarters can receive the cash management data (inflows and outflows from purchase orders and payments for vendor invoices, sales orders and customer payments, some TRM product flows, bank account balances) via FI-ALE and idoc types CMSND CMRCV.
Are there other options for getting the liquidity status like: Treasury Workstation (is still this available in ECC 6.0?, where is the customizing, what are the user transaction codes?),
What are the options for transferring the liquidity status if doing the customizing of SAP Cash management liquidity forecast in the subsidiaries SAP system is not an option?
What are the options if the subsidiary does not have SAP ECC? For example manual data entry by subsidiary in a SAP portal made with BPS/IP/BPC?

Hi,
Treasury workstation is still available in ECC. However in treasury workstation also, the similar settings for transfer of data through ALE is only available. You do the settings in under distributed systems inside cash management. You push the details from the subsidiary system to the head office system. However I don't think the standard setup will support data entry other than SAP. If you are using liquidity planner (long term liquidity management solution), you can use data entry through BI individually in each of the subsidiaries.

Hi JH,
I'm using strategy 40. Actually my problem is when a sales order falls outside the consumption period of the forecast then PGI is done. The withdrawal quantity works in Normal scenario but not work if the Sales Order is outside the consumption period.
The withdrawal quantity is not captured when forecast is reloaded in the same week as the Sales Order.
Thanks,
Raymond

FF7B: liquidity forecast cash position

Hello
In transaction FF7B can there be discrepancies between liquidity forecast and cash position? How can I find the cause? What I mean is that it seems the forecasted in and outflows do often not match with the actual in/outflows on the bank accounts.

hi
sorry I don't quite understand your question.
as you probably know that, cash positon and liquidity forecast are two different concepts, mainly the data source is different, cash position will consider bank account inflow and outflow, while liquidity forecast will consider more, like purchase order/requisition, sales orders, which you can configure in backend

FF7B - Liquidity Forecast

FF7B - Liquidity Forecast
Hello,
does anyone have a documentation for the above transaction?
Do you know how the program works?
Thanks and regards,
Davide

Hi,
This functionality is used to forecast medium term liquidity. This report shows planned cash inflows and outflows by date and considers AR and AP open items, Purchase orders, Sales orders etc.
Planning group is specified in Vendor and Customer Masters (you can have different planning groups for domestic or foreign vendors, or by their risk level for example); then these planning groups are assigned to planning levels and the report output can be structured that way based on your requirement.

FF7B Liquidity Forecast report

Hi,
After the expiry of the cash discount period (as per vendor/invoice payment terms) the liquidity forecast report should show the full invoice amount. In my case, i am seeing the discounted amount of the invoice after the end of the cash discount period.
Please can you help and tell if you are experiencing the same and if not how do you solve this issue.
Many thanks
Kind regards

Hi,
You can have payment date determination based on planning group (set in customer/vendor master). The config path is:

Down payments in Liquidity forecast

Dear collegues,
I'm searching for a way to include downpayments in the liquidity forecast (tx FF7B), but the system don't allow so as this kind of Special GL indicators are considered as incoming payments, so when I'm trying to post one under tx. F-29 both planning level and planning date are not possible fields and the appear in grey.
I can only think of creating this Sp.GL as "Others" and not as "Downpayments" but I want to check if there is any other workaround to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Cash forecast (FF7B) from IM / PS applications, and internal orders as well

Hi,
Does anyone know how to use transaction FF7B (cash forecast), with IM and PS applications?
I have several options:
1) from IM application, I would like to use the capitalize date and another field(s) that will contain the terms of payment; then I would like to be able to forecast my payments 1 year in advance and monthly (according to the terms of payment: 20% the 1st of june, 50% the 1st of october,...). Does SAP enable to do so in its standard? Which field(s) should I use in the investment line item to enter my terms of payment?
2) Same question for PS application or from internal orders, which fields should I use to have a date and terms of payment so that I can have a report of my payment forecast with transaction FF7B?
As you would have understood, I would like to have several levels of payment forecasts: at IM level, at PS level, then engaged with purchase orders/requests (standard SAP) and invoices (standard SAP).
Thanks for your ideas/help...
Ronan

Hi Ronan,
FF7B allows you to pick up itesm from the SD and MM module and show it in the Liquidity Forecast report. So for example, if you have Sales Orders with a delivery date of say November 1, 2010 and the customer has terms Net/30, then this amount will show up as a Receivable on Dec.1, 2010. Similarly if the delivery is spread over a one year period with 1/12th being delivered every month, then the Liq. Forecast will show them accordingly in each month starting from December 2010.
In your case you want to show items appearing in IM and PS. I am not familiar with these modules, but I am sure there will be a way to capture them and show them items in the Liquidity Forecast. May be if you can give some detail about the items which you want to see in the FF7B report, I might be able to guide you.

Liquidity Forecast not considering payment term / due date

I have configured liquidity forecast and it is picking up values just fine (ECC 6.0).
My problem is that in FF7B it is not taking "Payment Term" and "Due Date" in to consideration at all. Thus as a result not showing what is due on which date.
What do I need to do to ensure that FF7B (liquidity forecast report) show balances considering "Payment Term" and "Due Date"?
Or is here some functionality missing, or I am facing a program error?
Regards

Hi,
You do not have to give the Days there.
Their functionality is different.
Assign 15 in Payment terms Tab in No of Days, Percentage should be blank.
Then the system will calculate the net due date 15 days from Document Date.

Liquidity forecast report - On which date will Purchase order be reflected

Dear Gurus,
My client has payment terms ' payment 30 days after date of GR'
say the Purchase Order is raised on 1/1/2009 and GR done on 20/1/2009 then amount should be due to vendor on 19/2/2009 ( 30 days from GR date)
it is required that when i raise PO the said date should be reflected in liquidity forecast report.
How can i make this possible as at time of raising PO i do not know GR date.
Also let me know on which date the PO would normally be reflected in liquidity forecast report?
Regards,

Hi,
I have a problem that none of the PO amount is reflected on cash liquidation, the report only retrieves balances of PO which have been converted to invoice through MIRO.
I found that the configuration is complete, planning group has been assigned to vendor master data. Do you have any idea how planning level in Cash Management connects to Material Management/Vendor?
Or is there something missing that I can't get balance of PO in cash liquidation report?
Thanks a lot
