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.
http://www.accountingtools.com/cash-flows-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

SAP Reporting on Cash flow statement

Hi all,
in SAP, how can we configure / set up Cash flow statement report, especially for China? How?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suma,
No, you dont need to have cash management active in your system to get cash flow and funds flow statements.
Cash flow report defenition / design would depends on company to company.
Please go thru the below link to understand basic concept.
[Cash Flow Statement Example|https://www.zionsbank.com/pdfs/biz_resources_book-4.pdf]
Hope you must be fully aware of the above concept.
You can design your own cash flow statement using the financial statement items of your balance sheet in report painter/writer itself.
But you may need to fully acquainted with the report painter tool first.

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.

Prakash

Adding field 'Document Type' to Cash Flow Statement form in FSI5

Dear SAP Experts
I am developing a 'Cash Flow Statement' using FSI5/FSI3 functionality. I need to have a field 'Document Type' in the list of characteristics.
Can anyone of you guide me how can I add this field?
An urgent reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Syed Zia Abbas

Hi Abbas,
I have few comments, which should help to solve your
problem. Please take a look to note 43661 which describes the
creation of new forms and reports.
Following are the steps to create the form and report:
FSI4 => Form type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Copy
             Form: Name and Text for the new form
             Copy from: 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI5 => find and double click the new form just created => Edit Gen.
data selection => change the FSV to what you want to use
FSI1 => Report type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Create
             Report: Name and Text for the new report
             With form: Name of the new form details please refer to standard SAP report 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI3 => find and execute the new report to check if you can get the
result you want.
To change the fin. statement version in the general data selections of
your new form is not enough. You have to check each line of the new form
too and replace the fin. statement items with items of your own fin. statement structure.
- The mentioned forms contain restrictions via for example financial
statement items in rows and years and/or periods in columns. But, if
you execute the reports, you get no results. It is because the forms
are just an example templates for items of financial statement version
(FSV) INT, which is also just a template.
To be able to get requested results, you have to create your own
forms (and reports based on your forms) with restriction via your
own financial statement version (in general data selection) and the
financial statement items corresponding to your FSV (in particular
rows). Otherwise, you cannot get any results, as there are no values
for the template FSV INT and items from the INT.
But it is up to you, how you arrange the form definition. It is
closely related to your own FSV definition.
I hope you find this information useful.

How to create a Cash Flow Statement?

Dear all:
I am trying to create a Cash Flow Statement, and my approach is to use Dimension formula to calculate on the fly. Is my approach the best practice, or should I use script logic instead?
Based on my understanding, if I use Dimension formula, I won't need to create new set Dim members to store the calculated values (such as Increase (Decrease) in A/R = A/R this month - A/R last month). However, I am having problem constructing the formula in FORMULAH1 column.
Given above A/R example, I tried to use [NetAR] - ([NetAR],[Time].[PRIOR]) to get the difference in value between this month and last month, but I received error message saying that "The hierarchy '[PRIOR]' was not found in the cube when the string, [TIME].[PRIOR], was parsed". Is there anyway to retrieve Next or Prior months data in MDX?
If my approach is not correct, please advise correct way.
P.S. I have searched the forum and someone mentioned using Account Transformation logic. I looked up Administration Help file but didn't grasp the concept of Account Transformation logic. Can someone explain in detail for me?
Thank you for your help!
Brian

Try not to use DIMENSION LOGIC, unless it is really simple.
This is a set of ideas from the BPC 5 demo that I often use for Cash Flow Statements. This may be modified for your use, but the idea is consistent. Just remember to prep the customer to understand that 1 time charges and 1 off changes to CF statements are more often added and managed manually since it they would always impact a CF report.
Logic from version 5 BPC Demo- Finance App
*INCLUDE SYSTEM_CONSTANTS.LGL
*SYSLIB CONSOLIDATION_LIBRARY.LGL
// MOVE INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
RUNSUMMARIZE(ThisApp,CF_SUMM,%CATEGORY_SET%,%LC_RPT_CURR%)
//CALCULATE BALANCE SHEET MOVEMENTS AND POST TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
*SELECT(%FROM_ACCOUNT%, "[ID]", "ACCOUNT", "[CF_TO_ACCT] <> ''")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = %FROM_ACCOUNT%
*XDIM_ADDMEMBERSET TIME = PRIOR
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=%LC_RPT_CURR%
*WHEN TIME
      *IS %TIME_SET%
            *REC(ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT)
      *IS PRIOR
            *REC(FACTOR=-1,ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,TIME=NEXT)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Changes to above:
Dependencies (libraries, properties, etc.)
- SYSTEM_CONSTANTS.LGL
- CONSOLIDATION_LIBRARY.LGL u2013 to run the Business Rules section
- The following dimensions, members and properties are assumed
          Account
               CF_TO_ACCT property which is on all base level accounts which are part of the cash flow statement. The value should be the cash flow account that they map to. The dimension values are the IDs so they are all assumed as names
               CF_SUMM property used to move the income statement items to the cash flow statement. Contains the formulas on the destination cash flow accounts that map the Income statement accounts.
          Time u2013 just the dimension name
          RptCurrency
          CURRENCY_TYPE property with a value of L or R
What does it do?
Step 1 - MOVE INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Use the formulas in the CF_SUMM accounts to move income statement values to the cash flow statement for all currencies based on the Currency_Type property
Step 2 - CALCULATE BALANCE SHEET MOVEMENTS AND POST TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT
·        Select all accounts that have values in the CF_TO_ACCT property
·        Add the Prior time period to the time memberset
·        Run this process for all currencies based on the Currency_Type property
·        Take the value in the current period and the negative value of the prior period to calculate the periodic cash flow amount and write to the account designated in the CF_TO_ACCT property
IMPORTANT NOTE: this step does have an issue that will be corrected in future versions of the sales demo. The issue is that if you run this logic for 2007.MAR, the negative balance for 2007.MAR will be written to 2007.APR as well as 2007.FEB being written to 2007.MAR. The logic needs to be changed as follows to work
First create two members in the DataSrc dimension that both consolidate to PreAdj member of the DataSrc dimension named CF_Current and CF_Prior
Add the following statement after the *XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=%LC_RPT_CURR%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=
Change the REC statements as follows
*REC(ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,DATASRC=u201CCF_Currentu201D)
*REC(FACTOR=-1,ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT.CF_TO_ACCT,TIME=NEXT,DATASRC=u201CCF_Prioru201D)
Hope this helps somewhat. It is really hard to send this detailed stuff usingthe FORUM.

Cash flow Statement via Direct method using BW

Hi Gurus,
I have an requirement to prepare Cash flow statement via direct method using BW. Can anyone advice or point me to the steps need to be done in order to achieve this
Thank you
BR

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.
Regards,
Ravi

Cash flow statement Query

Hi,
I had used the RSZC transaction to migrate query 0FIGL_VC1_Q0002 - Cash flow statement, based on 0FIGL_VC1 to a custom virtual cube which extracts data from a cube containing general ledger accounting (New) data. on execution of the query, no data is displayed.
In a similar fashion the query 0FIGL_V10_Q0001, which is based on virtual cube 0FIGL_V10 was migrated to the same custom virtual cube and was found to be executing.
has anyone faced similar issue with cash flow statement query?

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.

Hi
Try using TCode - S_ALR_87012271 for cash flow statement.

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
