Douglas,
If an add-on has only this function, it might not be needed to the market. Do you think bad debt forecasts could be handled by common criteria?
Thanks,

Withholding tax in cash flow forecast FF7B

Hello experts,
Do you know if there is a way to display planned withholding tax payments in the cash flow forecast FF7B?
Today the forecast report displays the entire amount in the vendor's line , while that payments that include withholding tax amounts will actually be paid in two different terms:
- The first payment will be paid to the vendor (i.e. for 70% of the invoice amount)
according to vendor's payment terms.
- The second payment will be paid to the tax authorities (i.e. for 30% of the invoice amount)
according to their payment terms (i.e in the middle of the next month).
Thank you,
Dan

Cash flow forecast

Can we make forecast cash flow on the basis of due dates of suppliers/vendors and as well as on the basis of open Purchase Orders/Sales Orders.

Hi Monika
I do not think so. What you see in that window is what you can select. You'll see that other financial reports have a drop down with what type of date....this one does not. What you see is what you get. But if you realy want it i suppose you can always make your own report.
Hope this

Crystal Reports Template : Data for Cash-Flow Analysis

Dear Experts,
We are working on cash flow forecasting model, i.e going forward 12 months, which in written in MS Excel. We update it with actual data recorded in SAP B1 (Ver 8.8 PL18) A manual process.
Was wondering if we can get a crystal report template which contain the following data:
Sales, Purchases, Collections and Payments by BP in a given time (user specified)
BP Code
BP Name
Sales Invoice #
Sales Invoice Date
Sales Invoice Value (total)
Sales Credit Memo #
Sales Credit Memo Date
Sales Credit Value (total)
Purchase Invoice #
Purchase Invoice Date
Purchase Invoice Value (total)
Purchase Credit Memo #
Purchase Credit Memo Date
Purchase Credit Value (total)
BP Receipt #
BP Receipt Date
BP Receipt Value
BP Payment #
BP Payment Date
BP Payment Value
Thank you to all who have answered this question posted earlier under queries, I am hoping we can get a combined report using CR, a feat not possible using SAP B1 Query function. I look forward to your advice.
Regards
Raj

Hi,
I am not familiar with crystal report. But using queries (that already answered) you can create crystal report.
You can also refer how to guide for creating crystal report in sap b1.

Forecasting of cash flows

Hello SDN,
I want to forecast the following payments through the use of Cash managment and liquidity forcasting mechanisms of SAP
1) Accounts receivable payable during next week
2) Loans (short term and long term) repayable (instalment) during next week
3) LCs payable during next week
4)Money receivable during next week on account of LC
Can you tell me whether this is possible and how this can be done

Hi Rishikesh,
Cash Flow configurations need to be done as follows: (Report T-code FF7A
I. Determine which GL accounts you need to pull in Cash flow- Configurations required for all these accounts at step 2, 3 and 5 below.
II. Determine Structure : ie, grouping and headings etc of the Cash Flow - Configurations required defined in step 1 and 4 below.
Details of configuration :
1. Define Cash Flow groupings and Headers in t-code OT 18
2. Define Selection for groupings in t-code OT17.
For each grouping -
Keep one entry with Type as E and Selection as ++, Sum Term ++. This will pull all sub accounts defined.
Also define each account by using type G and account number in Selection and Sum Term as Name of GL account/ Bank name.
3. All accounts that you defined at 2 in OT17 also need to be defined at T-code OT16 - company code wise.
4. Other config required : Please refer building blocks documentation. - Define Source Symbols, Define planning levels, Define Planning groups.
Most of this will have been configured if you have used building blocks, but please check the same to configure as per your requirements.
SPRO path -> Financial Supply Chain Management->Cash and Liqudity Management->Cash Management-> Basic Settings---
5. Most important config, is that for all accounts you plan to pull on your Cash Flow, the fields for Cash management have to be made available for GL account master.
i.e. while defining account groups for Gl in SPRO, the field status for group 'Bank / financial details' all fields, should be 'Opt entry'.
If this is accidently suppress or display only, you will not be able to pull the account number in Cash flow statement.
Once this field is available for input, in Gl master data on T-code FS00-> create/ bank /interest tab-> bank/ financial details in company code tab..planning level that you configured in step 4 above, needs to be entered. Also Relevant to cash flow needs to be checked.
Configuration for FF7B, i.e Liquidity forecast is similar.
All the T-codes mentioned as well as spro path is relevant to SAP ECC6.0 ver. I think the IMG path is different in earlier versions. but you should get that in the relevant building blocks document.
Also this configuration does not apply if you are using Financial statement version INT.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks,
Uma

What is the table of future cash flows (coupan flows).

Hi experts,
Can you please tell me what is the table of future cash flows.
I am using securities module in transaction manger.
I am using t.code- TS01 for creating a deal transaction. it is generating a future cash flows ion case of bonds.
but not able to figure out in which table it is storing these flows. TPM 13 is a transaction code to see cash flows.
I need this table to devolope some BI reports
Please help.
Regards
Gaurav Gupta

Hi Guarav,
you can use logical databases like FTI_TR_PERIODS to create own reporting based on SAP queries, but they don't contain any data.
The cash flow data you see in TPM13 is from the TRL* tables and views, eg. TRLV_TRANS_POS or TRLV_FLOW. This data is valuation area dependant. To see transaction data you should check TRD* tables, for security account class data you better use TRS*.
Nevertheless, for BI reporting SAP offers some extractors with which you can get data from Treasury and furnish it to BI. For example, with 0CFM_INIT_POSITIONS you set initial position (like TPM12). With 0CFM_DELTA_POSITIONS you can then provide positions for further key dates and create BI reports that valuate delta flows. The DataSource 0CFM_O01 contains information about all position relevant flows, 0FM_O02 about reversed flows.
Extractor 0CFM_DELTA_POSITIONS and other 0CFM* extractors are generally based on logical databases, so you can e.g. create a query based on FTI_TR_PERIODS to check results that would be extracted to BI using 0CFM_DELTA_POSITIONS.

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

Balance Sheet * Cash Flow Planning

Hi
Did any body did the balance sheet and cash flow planning along with cost center planning and integrated with balance sheet in the BCS ? If yes, please provide the information on the approach to create these plans like how the data model should be and what are the various challenges that are encounter ?
Any insight or documentation on the approach is highly appreciated. I know we have delivered cube for Balance sheet and cash flow but there is very little documentation available for that cube.

Hello Raj,
I have worked on Balance Sheet Planning and relied on BW query for Cash Flow statement using Profit Center Planning. Also we used BCS actuals data in BPS for the purpose of rolling Forecasting. In this way we had actual Balance Sheet numbers as well as forecasted numbers based on current forecast version in BPS cube.
For the purpose of Balance Sheet calculation (SEM-BPS 3.5 version) standard delivered balance sheet functions were used, such as Cumulative balance, Offset function, Timelag, Depreciation etc. We are live based on this functionality and things are working as expected.
I hope this helps.

Cash Flow IN ORACLE APPLICATION

dear Brother's
What is the meaning of "CASH Flow"?
How can handle it in oracle?
Is a cash flow like any other report like balance sheet?

Hi
Cash Flow statement in Oracle refers to the summary of projected Cash position after certain period.It is like Cash Forecasting. This is handled through Oracle Cash Management Module
Suppose you would like to know the cash position after 30 days from now
A sample could be as follows
Opening Cash Balance as of Now
Add
Sales Orders
Sales Invoices
Receivables
Project Orders
Less
Purchase requisition
Purchase orders
Suppliers Invoices
Closing Cash Balance after 30 Days
You can choose the components to add and remove the functions according to your Business Requirement
It is not the Cash and Funds Flow statement as required by Auditors. You can prepare the same with a Customized Report.
Hope this helps

You should be conversant enough to do basic report painter.
Thanks & Regards
Selva

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.

Rodolfo Bermúdez Neubauer

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,
Kumar

Unable to edit cash flow in Interest Rate Instrument

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange issue while trying to change Cash Flow in Int. rate instrument.
Scenario:
I am trying to edit a flow in FTR_Edit and system is allowing me to change most of the flow. Please see below:
But if try to change the very next flow on the same date i.e. 960.93 USD Edit Flow option is NOT coming at all.Please see below
These flow has NOT been posted to accounting still.
Any one has any ides/suggestion why system is behaving like this.
Cheers !
Adi

Hi,
basically changes in the cashflow are exceptional and for circumstances, where you have postings after the flow(s) you want to adjust and you cannot reverse these postings because of closed periods etc. This changes in the cashflow do not change the interest condition(s) itself.
If you have more than 1 interest period and the interest rate of the future periods are not known yet, you should use a Reference Interest Rate (e.g. LIBOR) instead a fix one in the interest condition. Then you are able to use the fixing-functionality (TI10 or TJ05) to get the interest rates into the deal.
Of course you can use fixed interest rate, too - in this case you need 1 interest-condition per period and have then to adjust the interest rate (which initially cannot be 0).

Lorenz

Report Painter: Cash Flow Actual/Plan Report on Profit Center

I must create a Cash Flow report Actual/Plan/Variance Figures per Profit Center by using a report painter.
It will be created in monthly basis format, and year-to-date format (two different formats).
The format is in GL accounts instead of standard Cash In and Cash Out format.
I need to extract the Plan figures. However, we don't have planning on PCA. We are only doing plan on cost center, either revenue or cost (revenue is created as cost element category costs/reducing tax).
Should I extract it from the Cost Center Plan & add up all plan amounts of the cost centers that attached to the specific profit center? How can I do that?
What do you suggest as the best solution? Please explain briefly and using what t-code, tables and fields to extract from.
Thanks,
-=Meila.S=-

Hi John,
