Introduction
This document describes the major design concepts for the Finance and Controlling Organizational Structure and all financial transactions/configuration related to the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Asset Accounting, Product Costing, Cash Management, and Consolidating Financial Statements business processes. The design concepts are also described for internal managerial processes such as Cost Reporting & Allocations, Budgeting and Planning, and Profitability Analysis Reporting. This document does not describe all SAP configuration tables to support the design. This level of detail will be done during the Implementation stage of Global SAP Implementation Project.

1.1. AAAs Financial Processes in SAP


All of AAAs financial processes are in multiple Financial modules of SAP that are highly integrated with each other and with the Logistics modules. As depicted in Figure 1.1 the Financial modules being implemented are: Financial Accounting: o General Ledger, o Accounts Receivable o Accounts Payable o Asset Accounting Controlling: o Overhead Cost Controlling o Product Costing o Profitability Analysis Treasury Cash Management Enterprise Consolidation Note: Business Warehouse will have a separate Design Document. Planned time for gathering all BW requirements is 31 Dec., 2003.

Finance Enterprise Organizational Structures in SAP


All financial enterprises must identify organizational structures in SAP that will be the foundation for how all financial transactions will be reported. These organizational structures reflect the legal and managerial organizations that support external and internal financial reporting. The organizational structures described in this section are global and will affect all Reporting Units in AAA. They are the: 1) Company Code Structure 2) Consolidated Company Structure 3) Chart of Accounts Structure 4) Asset Accounting Structure 5) Controlling Structure 6) Cost Center Structure

2.1.

Company Code Structure


Company Codes generally represent legal entities within the Corporation that provide external financial statements such as Balance Sheet and Operating Income Statement reports. Each Company Code must have a complete set of accounting records for reporting purposes. AAA has identified sixteen Company Codes, ten of which are active and six dormant. Note: Not every AAA company code represents a legal entity. AAA Latin America and AAA Keystone Graphics are divisions that belong to the legal entity AAA Keystone Sales Corp. AAA Henggang represents the factory that belongs to AAA Shenzhen. A change request has been submitted to make Latin America an active company code. This change will be addressed in separate documentation and is outside the scope of this design document.
The proposed German acquisition will be handled as part of a change request.

See Figure 2.1.

Enterprise Consolidation (ECCS) Organization Structure


The Enterprise Consolidation structure facilitates the procedures that create Consolidated Financial Statement reports for all AAA Reporting Units. The Consolidation structure is arranged to allow consolidated financial reports for Global AAA Bbb Corp., all European Reporting Units, and subsidiary group reports for CC UK, CC Germany and CC Hong Kong. See Figure 2.2. AAA Australia will be shown as wholly owned by CCHK and its name will be changed to reflect the correct legal name, AAA Bbb Aust. (Regional) Pty. Ltd. Consideration is being given to configure a dummy Consolidation Unit for the Legacy Elim company. This Consolidation Unit will house the historical balance sheet Elim data and avoid the need to manually re-enter these data every month. The dummy Consolidation Unit will be dormant once AAA goes live on SAP. Future elimination postings will occur in the active Consolidation Units using the consolidation procedures. Investigations are in progress to determine the best way to generate consolidated financial reports for all of Europe.

2.3.

Chart of Accounts Structure


To meet AAAs accounting requirements for statutory (US GAAP) and local GAAP requirements, three different levels of Chart of Accounts will be configured in SAP. All Reporting Units will post all financial transactions to a Global Operating Chart of Accounts (COA). This COA will be created according to the US GAAP specifications. Each account in the Operating COA will be mapped to one or many accounts in the Group Chart of Accounts to capture financial postings for AAAs Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounts in the Operating COA will also be mapped in a one to one relationship with accounts in two Country-Specific Chart of Accounts for France and China. France and China have specific statutory requirements that mandate that Financial Statements must include specific accounts. Postings to the Operating COA will automatically populate corresponding accounts in the Group COA and Country-Specific COAs. Chinas statutory law further stipulates that Financial Statements must fall within the calendar year of January to December, in contrast to AAAs fiscal year of July to June. Creating calendar year Financial Statement reports will be supported by special configuration in the Special Purpose Ledger. Although the French and German governments allow fiscal year reporting from July to June, they have a stipulation that the end of the fiscal year must be on June 30th, in contrast to AAAs fiscal year end on the last Saturday of June or first Saturday in July. In SAP, CC France and CC Germany will continue the

current process of updating transactions between AAAs year-end and June 30th, to the earlier of the fiscal year end or June 30th. To avoid entries in this interim period, validation rules will be set up to ensure that the postings fall into the right date range. If the fiscal year ends before June 30th, then every posting in June will not post beyond AAAs fiscal year end. If the fiscal year ends in early July, then the postings in July will be backdated to June 30th. A certain range of accounts in the Global Operating Chart of Accounts will be reserved to capture postings for statutory reports to meet local and US GAAP requirements, and global transfer tax pricing requirements. For more details see Section 3.2.5, sub-section Account Group. Figure 2.3 below illustrates the relationships among the three types of Chart of Accounts. More details on the Account structures are in Section 3.1 on General Ledger.

2.4.

Asset Accounting Structure


Asset Accounting is used for managing and supervising all existing fixed assets. Like A/R and A/P, it is also a subsidiary ledger to the General Ledger, and provides detailed fixed asset transaction information. Asset Accounting integrates with the Operating Chart of Accounts and other SAP modules such as Production Planning, Materials Management, Plant Maintenance and Investment Management. Each country will have a defined Chart of Depreciation with three Depreciation Areas a) Book Depreciation, b) Tax Depreciation and c) Group Depreciation. (Group depreciation is required by the system to store asset values in USD, the group currency, for company codes with local currencies that are not USD. In these companies, parallel ledger currency has been activated so that transactions are recorded in their local currency and in USD. Particularly in AAA, these companies will be in HK, China and Europe.) All fixed asset financial transactions will post to the Book Depreciation Area. Tax depreciation methods have been defined in the Tax Depreciation Area for all Reporting Units with specific tax depreciation requirements. The Group Depreciation Area is system defined and necessary for completing all fixed asset transactions in SAP. Each Reporting Unit has specific Asset Classes associated with them. See Figure 2.4 for the Asset Accounting Structure.

2.5.

Controlling Organizational Structure


The Controlling Area represents the cost accounting environment where costs and revenues are managed, and internal managerial reports are generated. AAA will have one Controlling area, AAA Group, CCG. In addition to the Controlling Area an Operating Concern, AAA Group, CCG has also been defined. The Operating Concern is the main organizational unit for Profitability Analysis. It contains the tools for analyzing contribution margins of business units and market segments. In the Controlling Structure hierarchy, the Controlling Area is under the Operating Concern and all Company Codes are linked to the Controlling Area. The Operating Concern and Controlling Area currencies have been identified as USD. See Figure 2.5.

Cost Center Structure


The standard cost center hierarchy represents the organizational structure of AAAs departments (active managerial units). Over 200 departments have been identified. Their organizational relationships are shown in five hierarchical levels: Level 1: AAA Group the highest Cost Center Group that represents Global AAA Bbb Corp. Level 2: Cost Center Groups that represent AAAs legal entities, for example, Keystone Sales (CC US), CC UK, CCGermany and CC HK. Level 3: Cost Center Groups that represent AAAs major department categories, for example, Sales, Administration and Production.

Level 4: Cost Centers and Cost Center Groups. The Cost Centers represent departments within major department categories (Level 3 Cost Center Groups). The Cost Center Groups are other department categories that are further sub-divided into more specific departments. Examples of Level 4 Cost Centers are Marketing, Finance and Production Line under Sales, Administrative and Production Cost Center Groups respectively. Examples of Level 4 Cost Center Groups are Design Engineering and Quality Engineering. Level 5: Cost Centers (departments) for Level 4 Cost Center Groups. An example is Industrial Engineering department under Design Engineering Cost Center Group. In addition to the standard cost center hierarchy described above, alternate hierarchies can be defined specifically for reporting or allocation purposes. The European head office will be set up as an alternate hierarchy where European head office cost centers from each European company code will be grouped together as an alternate hierarchy cost center group. Below is a summary of the Cost Center Groups on the Standard Cost Center Hierarchy. The detailed cost center information is documented in Appendix 8.1 The naming convention for Cost Center Groups and Cost Centers will be described in more detail in Section 3.7 on Cost Center Accounting.

PR Price Change Postings on Inventory Revaluation from MM (transaction MR21). Price Change refers to the change in Standard Price of the material, not the price difference between PO and Invoice that is booked at the time of invoicing. Note this type of transaction does not have Reversal FI Document Type. If the price changed need to be adjusted, a new transaction is posted, rather than reverse the original posting. RE Invoice Receipt Postings on Invoice Receipt transactions from MM (transactions MIRO/ MRRL) RI Invoice Receipt-Interco. Postings on Invoice Receipt transactions for Invoice Verification triggered from Intercompany Sales. The Invoice Verification step for intercompany sales are triggered by SAP in form of a batch generated automatically. For details, please refer to MM Conceptual Design Document.

* Different types of Sample Sales are differentiated by Sales Order types; hence it is irrelevant to FI document type mapping. RV SD Invoice Postings of Sales Invoice from SD transactions. A Sales Order and delivery need to be completed before Sales Invoice is created in SD. RW SD Invoice-Interco. Postings of Intercompany Invoice from SD transactions. A Stock Transport Order (STO) and delivery need to be completed before Sales Invoice is created in SD. RC SD Credit Memo Postings of Credit Memo from SD transactions. A Credit Memo Request (a special Sales Order Type) need to be raised before Credit Memo is created in SD. RD SD Debit Memo Postings of Debit Memo from SD transactions. A Debit Memo Request (a special Sales Order Type) need to be raised before Debit Memo is created in SD. RR SD Credit for Return Postings of Credit Memo from SD transactions as arose from Return. A Return Order (a special Sales Order Type) and return delivery need to be completed before Credit Memo for Return is created in SD. RS SD Rebate Credit Memo Postings of Rebate Credit Memo from SD transactions. A Credit Memo Request (a special Sales Order Type) need to be raised before Rebate Credit Memo is created in SD. Number range assignment: It links to the number range table below. FI document numbers are Fiscal Year Dependent. Meaning in interpreting a FI document, system always require users to quote the Fiscal Year involved, e.g. FY2004, Doc no. 2000000 Account Type: This is the SAP code in defining which type of account can be posted to particular type of document. This is preset by SAP system in the FI Document Type definitions. Here are the SAP Account Types: A-Asset D-Customer K-Vendor M-Material S-General Ledger Reverse Document Type: Upon reversal of a particular FI document, the system will use this Document Type for the reversal transaction. This way, certain reversal documents can be separately analysed, if needed. In standard SAP setting, all the reversal document types are the same as original document type.

In Financial Accounting, the national currency of the company code is considered the local currency (or company code currency). From a company code view, all other currencies are then foreign currencies. Parallel currency is maintained for AAA in addition to the local currency. Group currency, USD, will be set as AAAs Parallel currency. A group currency is used in the consolidated financial statements. Before the consolidation process can be completed, all values in the individual financial statements must be translated from the local or transaction currency into group currency.
2

When managing the ledgers in parallel currencies, the following effects result:
During posting, the amounts are also saved in the parallel currencies. The amounts are translated automatically using Average Rate (M Rate for majority cases, EURX Rate for EU currencies translation to USD). See Section 3.1.3 for Exchange Rate Types used by AAA. G/L account transaction figures are also updated in the parallel currencies, USD, and stored in the FI document as a separate field. Exchange rate differences also arise in the parallel currencies.

3.1.3. Exchange Rates

Exchange rates in the system are for the following purposes: Posting and Clearing To translate amounts posted or cleared in foreign currency, or to check a manually entered exchange rate during posting or clearing. Exchange Rate Differences To determine gains or losses from exchange rate differences (between transaction rate, i.e. M or EURX, and period-end closing rate, C) Foreign Currency Valuation To valuate GL/ AR/ AP open items in foreign currency and foreign currency balance sheet accounts as part of the closing operations.

Parallel Currency in SAP refers to additional currency that will be updated simultaneously by system upon FI postings.

Exchange Rate Type


In order for the system to translate amounts into various currencies, exchange rates should be defined. For each currency pair (e.g. HKD: USD), different exchange rates can be defined and differentiated using exchange rate types. The following exchange rate types can be defined in SAP: Buying rate Bank selling rate Average rate For posting and clearing, the system uses the exchange rate type M (average rate). This exchange rate type must be entered in the system and you must also enter the exchange rates for this type in the currency table. For standard SAP, the update on exchange rate is a manual process. Historical exchange rate Key date exchange rate

(More exchange rate types may be added in the detailed design phase.) Not every pair of exchange rates needs to be entered into the system. There are various tools you can use to automatically determine other exchange rates from existing ones. The following tools are available: Inversion Inversion is the process of calculating the opposite rate from a defined exchange rate. (This is the same as direct vs. indirect rates.) Reference Exchange Rate Currency key used to carry out all foreign currency translations for a specific exchange rate type. Reference currency is assigned to an exchange rate type. For every other currency, exchange rate is entered in the reference currency. All other translations are carried out using the reference currency. Usage for AAA: It is required by SAP system that for all EUR, currency translation should be set as a Reference Currency. The algorithm has been adjusted to meet the European Monetary Union statutory guidelines. The indicator must be set if the statutory conversion rules agreed by the participating countries in the EMU are to be used. This only applies to Average Rate conversion. Example:

EUR is set as the reference currency. To translate from GBP to EUR for day-to-day FI posting, the system uses the EURX exchange rate type specifications. All other currency translation for Day-to-Day FI postings uses M exchange rate type instead. The following is list of Exchange Rate Type for AAA:

* Indicator that in the case of a missing exchange rate entry in the system for the required translation from one currency into another, the inverted exchange rate relationship may also be used. ** The algorithm has been adjusted to meet the European Monetary Union statutory guidelines. The indicator must be set if the statutory conversion rules agreed by the participating countries in the EMU are to be used. Exchange rate will be maintained centrally by AAA Corporate and all AAA companies will perform business transactions using the rate updated by Corporate.

All day-to-day transactions, including FI generated Intercompany Transactions, M rate will be used. For EU related exchange rates, EURX will be used instead. Since FI generated Intercompany postings are within the same document including entries of both companies, the exchange rate used will be the same for both entities in this case. For period-end, Foreign currency valuations, Exchange Rates stated in Exchange Rate Type C Closing Rate will be used (for all currencies in this case, including EU currencies) for revaluating open items held in foreign currencies (i.e. different from Company Code currency). For detail mechanism on Foreign Currency Valuation, please refer to 3.3.7 Accounts Receivable Period end Processing: Month End Open Item RevaluationMonth End Open Item Revaluation

3.1.4. Fiscal Year Variant


A fiscal year is divided into posting periods. Each posting period is defined by a start and a finish date. In addition to the posting periods, you can also define special periods for year-end closing. In General Ledger Accounting, a fiscal year can have a maximum of twelve posting periods and four special periods. In addition to the posting periods, you can also define special periods for year-end closing. In General Ledger Accounting, a fiscal year can have a maximum of twelve posting periods and four special periods. For all AAA Company Codes, one central Fiscal Year Variant will be set up with 4-4-5 fiscal period, with 4 special periods for closing activities. The Fiscal Year Variant is flexible and allows different period end dates to be defined for subsequent years. For example, a 4-5-5 or 4-4-6 fiscal period may be defined for future years. This centralised Fiscal Year Variant will be assigned in all Company Code. This Fiscal Year setting will be controlled centrally.

3.1.5. Opening and Closing Posting Periods


Open and close posting periods for FI modules are controlled in SAP by Posting Period Variant.

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 25 of 172

Usually, only the current posting period is open for posting, all other posting periods are closed. At the end of this posting period, the period is closed, and the next posting period is opened. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing. Each reporting unit in AAA will be created a separate Posting Period Variant. This enables centralized or decentralised control on the Period-end closing timing. Each reporting unit can take care of their own Posting Period Variant and be responsible for their closing timeliness, or a centralized group can perform the same activities. Once a period is closed in the branch, the Posting Period Variant for that reporting unit can be closed and prohibit further changes in prior periods. Posting Period Variant can also be differentiated by Account Type. Meaning opening and closing of posting periods can be controlled by account type (A-Asset, D-Customers, K-Vendors, M-Material, SGeneral Ledger). For example, for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts. Further range of account can be limited in open and close period as well per account type.

Figure 3.1 General Overview of a Financial Posting in the General Ledger and Relevant Cost Objects

The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting. In SAP G/L accounting, all business transactions are fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company. It ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate. Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the centralized, up-to-date reference for accounts. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in real time processing by displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels such as: Account information

3.2.1. GL Master Data


In SAP, the G/L account master records control the posting of accounting transactions to G/L accounts and the processing of the posting data. Before you can make postings to a G/L account, you have to create a master record in the system for the G/L account GL Master Data Structure G/L account master records are divided into two areas so that company codes with the same chart of accounts can use the same G/L accounts.

Chart of accounts area (General Data) The chart of accounts area contains the data that is valid for all company codes, such as the account number

Company code specific area The company code specific area contains data that may vary from one company code to another, such as the currency in which the account may be posted.

Regroup: Perform transfer postings in presenting assets or liabilities in correct place for Financial Statement Reportings. For example, for group of bank accounts with total credit balance, value need to be presented on the liability side of the Financial Statement Reports, this is aided by means of a function called Regroup in SAP in generation of this transfer posting.

The Global Operating COA will be presented in SAP as COA segment of GL Master. Group COA for AAA: CONC is set up for consolidation purpose. For details, please refer to Section 3.13.3 on EC-CS Enterprise Consolidation in this design document. Note: During the conceptual design stage, the structure of the Global Operating COA has been confirmed. Please refer to Section 3.2.5 on Account Group Structure. Account details will be furnished in a separate document. Individual GL accounts are to be fine-tuned in Detailed Design Phase, major tasks relating to additions/ adjustments on the Operating COA will be as follows: Sales and Distribution (SAP-SD) account assignments Material Management (SAP-MM) account assignments Detailed mapping of As-Is COA (for each AAA subsidiary) to the To-be single Global Operating COA. One or many As-is accounts can be mapped to one SAP account. This also creates a foundation for the conversion process on GL transactions. Define adjustment accounts for different Multiple Views of the Financial Books. Please refer to Section 3.2.6 on Multiple Accounting Books for AAA.

3.2.3. Country-Specific Chart of Accounts


This addresses the needs of AAA France and AAA Shenzhen governmental financial reporting needs. Since France and China government need the generation of financial statements (Balance Sheets, and Profit & Loss Statements) in predefined numbers and formats, which are different from that of AAA Global COA, Country-Specific COA are set up for these 2 countries.

In SAP, Country-Specific COA for AAA will be as follows:


Chart of Accounts [4 characters] CCFR CCSZ Description [50 characters] France Country Chart of Accounts China Country Chart of Accounts Max Length of G/L account number 10 10 Related Group Chart of Accounts CONC CONC

The Country Specific COA will be created in SAP as COA segment of GL Master. No real postings are stored into these GL accounts. Rather, in the Company Code section of CCFR and CCSZs Operating GL account Master, the Country-Specific GL is mapped in the field Alternate Account, so that the data from the G/L account can flow to the country-specific COA during FI report execution (no separate Accounting Document will be created for Country-Specific GL. Information on Country-Specific GL will only be presented to users via reporting in FI-GL). Please refer to table in Section 3.2.1: Detailed Business Usages
and characteristics on different types of SAP COA.

For CCFR, the reporting on France government financial statements will be generated in SAP by setting of a unique Financial Statement Version, which groups Country-specific GL into desired format. This financial statement format will satisfy French statutory reporting requirements.

3.2.4. Special Purpose Ledger for CCSZ


For CCSZ, in addition to Country-Specific GL, a Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL, separate from FI-GL) will be created to produce financial statements with a calendar year end (required by Chinese government as compared to AAAs fiscal year end (June and 4-4-5 based).AAA Day-to-day operations that are posted in FI-GL (to Operating GL account) will be posted automatically to the Special Purpose Ledger for CCSZ. Postings in FI-GL will follow AAAs fiscal year setting, while that in FI-SL follows China governments fiscal year setting. For example, the posting date is 20-Jun-03, document for CCSZ in FI-GL will be posted as period 12, while in FI-SL will be period 6. The Country-specific GL no. will also be posted to FI-SL through customization. This ensures the FI-SL contains the correct accounting posting periods with Country-Specific GL no. for rendering of China specific Balance Sheets and P&L accounts. Here is the summarized treatment on CCSZs financial books:

3.2.5. GL Master Data Maintenance


One global Operating Chart of Accounts will be set up for all AAA companies. Since it relates to AAAs day to day operations, the maintenance of the GL Master Data is a critical process for AAA. In accordance with the design of SAP GL Master Data, all AAA GL accounts will be created with the COA segment of the GL Master. This forms the list of Operating Chart of accounts. Company Code specific segment GL Master will only be created to necessary AAA companies, whenever it is appropriate. Only GL Master Data with COA and Company Code segments can be posted in the General Ledger in SAP. For the detailed process flow on the GL Master Data maintenance, please refer to Figure 3.1.1 below.

CCC on the above chart refers to AAA Bbb Corporate As stated in the FICO Prototype, for the initial request for GL account creation/ changes from subsidiaries, a standardised form need to be applied with reasons on the requests. There will be an exercise for the users in designing this new standardised form. This request form is to be processed out of SAP and proposed to utilise the current AAA Lotus Notes approval features.

This range will not be created as GL Master in FI. Due to the integration nature of the FI/CO, Secondary Cost Elements share the same number range as FI, therefore a specific range is reserved. These are for cost allocations that are based on secondary cost elements like statistical figures, for example, footage, number of heads per unit, etc. Account Group 9900 is reserved for Data Conversion account creation. GL accounts will be created under this range for data conversion purposes. Details of the account range breakdown will be revisited upon the data conversion exercise is performed. This is usually necessary to offset certain G/L postings during conversion. These conversion accounts are in a specified range so that they will be excluded from business operation financial statements, and can be easily referenced for conversion data reconciliation purposes.

Integration with Enterprise Consolidation module According to standard SAP design, when EC-CS Consolidation module is activated, users are required to enter Group Account number in the COA segment of the GL Master Data upon new GL creation. This ensures every FI-GL postings are seamlessly integrated to the EC-CS Consolidation module to automatically generate Consolidation documents. It also ensures that every account in COA is specifically mapped to a Group Account in the Group COA for the Consolidation module.

Integration with Country-Specific COA For CCFR and CCSZ, Alternate Account field are set as required field. This ensures users required to enter the Country-Specific GL for all GL creation in the Company-code specific segment. For detail treatment on government required Financial Statement formats for France and PRC, please refer to Sections 3.2.3 on Country-Specific Chart of Accounts and 3.2.4 on Special Purpose Ledger for CCSZ.

Integration points with other SAP modules For all bank accounts, the field Planning level in the Company-Code Specific segment of GL Master links the cash flow information to SAP Treasury Cash Management (TRCM) module. For details, please refer to Section 3.12 on Cash Management in this document. Asset Management/ Account Receivables/ Account Payables sub-modules are integrated to FI-GL via the field Reconciliation for Account Type in the Company-Code Specific segment of GL Master. With this indicator, the GL account can only be posted via respective sub-ledger in SAP. Different indicators for Reconciliation for Account Type are: o A Asset Management o D Accounts Receivable o K Accounts Payable Inventory accounts are posted to directly by movement of materials. This occurs based on account assignment configuration between the MM and FI modules. These GL accounts are set as Automatically Post Only, which ensures the value always in sync from MM to FI.

3.3.

Accounts Receivables

The accounts receivable application component records and administers the accounting data of customers and this also constitutes an integral part of Sales & Distribution module. All postings in accounts receivable are also recorded directly in the general ledger. Different G/L accounts are posted to depending on the transaction involved (for example trade debtors).

3.3.1. Customer Master Maintenance Customer master records contain data that control how transaction data is posted and processed. This includes all of the information about a customer that you need to be able to conduct business with them. At AAA, customer master records will be maintained by each Reporting Unit.
The master record is used in Sales and Distribution as well as Financial Accounting. There are two methods of creation for customers master data: a. Create Centrally In Financial Accounting or Sales and Distribution module b. Create either in Accounting or SD module only Customer Master Data are divided into 3 areas: a. General data b. Accounting Data c. Sales Area Data

General data contains information such as Customers name, address, language, and phone numbers, which is shared by both FI and SD module. Meanwhile, Account control data like the reconciliation account number in G/L accounting, Dunning procedures and the date of the last dunning notice, in which the information are purely meant for accounting purposes.
Customers who are related to the trade sales in which the sales order are required from Sales & Distribution module will require the Sales Area Data. The sales area data will contain information like Order Currency, Order processing, shipping, and billing data.

By storing customer master data centrally, you enable it to be accessed throughout your organization, and avoid the need to enter the same information twice. This central organization also prevents data from being inconsistent between different application components.

3.3.4. Non-Trade/ Sundry Customer Master Data Maintenance The customer master data for Sundry and Non Trade customers are basically the same as the trade customer but without the Sales Area Master Data 3.3.5. Payment Term
Payment term will serve to determine the invoices due date and the discount amount as agreed upon at the time of the sale. The payment term in the master data will default to the respective invoice document. The payment term on these individual invoices can be changed manually. Payment terms are independent of company code.

Term Code

The FI/CO Design team will continue to collect any outstanding payment terms from the FI/CO Business Representatives. Although different coding were suggested for Customer and Vendor Payment terms, users can decide to have the same payment terms used for both AR and AP. For consistency, the payment terms should be consolidated. Any special payment terms for specific countries will need to be catered for as well. Payment receipt dates are calculated based on Base Line Dates in invoices. The Base Line Date is derived from the Document Date (same as invoice date) that is manually entered.

Regardless of the payment methods being used by the customer for payment, the AAA Bbb accounting staff will use the post with clearing function to offset the customers open item against the bank or bank clearing account.

Posting With Clearing is done by entering the document line items and then selecting the open items that need to be cleared. Once the total amount of selected open items equals the amount of entered line items, the system will post and clear the open items. In clearing these items, the system will assign a clearing document number and the date on which they were cleared. Open item management ensures that all items that have not yet been cleared are available in the system. Only after every open item in a document is cleared can a document be archived.

Partial and Residual Payment


In SAP, user can define the tolerance limit for system to accept any payment difference. Please refer to AP for AAAs tolerance range. SAP provides the flexibility in accepting any part payment in 2 methods, Partial Payment and Residual Payment. The difference between the Partial payment and Residual Payment are as follows: a. Partial payment will keep the original invoice line item open until the full amount has been cleared. Meanwhile a cleared new line item will be created for the paid amount. b. Residual payment will clear the original invoice and create a new line item and document with the unpaid amount to replace the original invoice. Both functions are available in the current system. However, the decision on which function to use depends on how the user prefers to see the line item in the customer records. Currently, the partial payment function will be more appropriate to use at AAA Bbb.

Full Payment
For full payment by mailing cheques, the account department will post and clear the customer open items against the Bank Clearing Receivables account. Upon clearance by the bank, the account staff will perform a journal adjustment to clear the Clearing account to the Bank Account. For telegraphic transfer, WIRE transfer incoming payments and direct bank-in, the customer will normally inform the accounting staff of their intention to pay. They will also fax or send in their bank in slip as proof of payment. The account staff will post and clear the customer items upon the confirmation from the bank of payment clearance.

3.3.7. Accounts Receivable Periodic Processing Dunning/ Reminders To Customers Dunning letters are actually the reminders sent to customers for due payment. The level of dunning letters and the days interval for each level still need to be identified Generate Customer Statement AAABbbThere will be two types of customer statement in AAA Bbb. One internally which will be used between branches and one which will be used for external customers. Month End Open Item Revaluation
Foreign currency transactions may be posted at a different rate to the current month end rate. Thus in preparing the current month Balance Sheet, a revaluation process needs to be done. In order to perform the revaluation in SAP, you must always specify a Valuation method. This specifies exactly which type of valuation will be carried out i.e. based on which currency type and how detailed the resulting list for the valuation is to be.

Exchange rate differences resulting from the valuation of open items and foreign currency balance sheet accounts are automatically posted to specific accounts assigned during the configuration. The amounts can be either a gain or loss, and are, therefore, posted to either a revenue or expense account stored under a special key. The unrealized gain or loss is the difference between the exchange rate posted at the time of booking the invoice and the current month end exchange rate. A reversal of this booking will be automatically created for next month to eliminate this gain or loss

3.4.

Accounts Payable

The accounts payable application component records and administers accounting data for all vendors. It is also an integral part of purchasing, where deliveries and invoices are recorded

based on each vendor. The system automatically makes postings to the FI component in response to these transactions. Postings made in Accounts Payable are simultaneously recorded in the General Ledger where different G/L accounts are updated based on the transaction involved (payables, down payments, etc.). To help keep track of open items, there are due date forecasts and other standard reports that be created. During the Implementation phase, AAA will design balance confirmations, account statements and other forms of reports according to business correspondence requirements with vendors. There are balance lists, journals, balance audit trails and other internal evaluations available for documenting transactions in Accounts Payable. 3.4.1. Vendor Master Maintenance
The vendors are classified in to six different account groups; Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 Vendor Group Vendors with PO Intercompany One Time Vendor Vendors without PO Boards of Directors Employees Relevant To MM

Account Group is used to control the assignment of vendor code and to maintain the consistency of vendor master data to be maintained for the vendors in same account group. The vendor groups are mutually exclusive. The SAP system can assign vendor codes internally or externally. At AAA Bbb, vendor codes will be created automatically based on the system numbering sequence. The exception will be intercompany vendors that where vendor codes will be externally assigned. Regardless of the assignment method specified above, the range and format of vendor codes are predefined in customization. Any specification of vendor code (especially the external assignment) beyond the valid vendor code range will not be accepted by the system. For global vendors, a group key will be placed in their master record to allow single reporting/monitoring of all related vendor records in each Branch.. In SAP, the data in vendor master records control how transaction data are posted and processed for a vendor. The vendor master record also contains all the data you require to do business with your vendors.

The master record is used not only in Accounting but also in Materials Management. By storing vendor master data centrally and sharing it throughout the organization, the data are entered once and inconsistencies in master data are prevented. A vendor master record contains: Vendors name, address, language, and phone numbers Tax numbers Bank details Account control data like the number of the G/L reconciliation account for the vendor account Payment methods and terms of payment set up with the vendor Purchasing data Withholding tax information, for example 1099 tax information

In the Materials Management module, the vendors are considered as the suppliers.

With the availability of the SAP system in the future, the Purchasing Department will initiate the creation and maintenance of the Basic and Purchasing views of vendor master data. They will subsequently inform the Accounts Department to maintain the Accounting and Payment views. The purpose of dual level creation is mainly to smoothen and fasten the Purchasing process without having to wait for the Accounting staff to update the vendor master record. As soon as the Basic and Purchasing views are maintained, purchase orders can be issued and goods receipts can be processed. Accounting Department must maintain the Accounting view for newly created vendors before the three-way matching of Invoices to purchase orders and goods receipts can be processed.

Invoice From Material Management Module


The Invoice Verification component is part of the Materials Management (MM) system. It provides the link between the Materials Management component and the Financial Accounting, Controlling, and Asset Accounting components.

Invoice Verification in Materials Management serves the following purposes:


It completes the materials procurement process - which starts with the purchase requisition, continues with purchasing and goods receipt and ends with the invoice receipt It allows credit memos to be processed, either as invoice cancellations or adjustments.

The business scenario starts with an invoice sent from vendor. Before the invoice is posted in the system three way matching of purchase order, goods receipt and invoice is done manually with the defaulted PO price and GR quantity from the system. The invoices are documented and then exported to financial accounting. During goods receipt, the accounting posting will be Dr. Inventory

Cr.

Goods Receipt \ Invoice Receipt (GRIR)

At the time of Invoice Matching, the posting will be Dr. GRIR Cr. Vendor 1 During the invoice matching, the invoice received from vendors (either on spot or after the purchase) will be matched against the purchase order and goods receipts given by Purchase Department. At AAA, raw materials and finished goods will be valuated with the moving average price using FIFO batch valuation, and semi-finished goods will be valuated with a standard price in the material master. If the inventory is valuated using a moving average price, any price variances will be posted back into material. If the inventory is valuated with a standard price in the material master, then price variances will be posted to a purchase price variance account. To prevent duplication of invoices in the system, vendors invoice numbers must be maintained in the Reference field at the document header. The system will check this field for any duplication from other vendor invoice and an error message will appear noting a duplication has occurred. Depending on the configuration, the system will stop the user from continuing with the same reference number or allow the user to decide to continue with the same reference number. Relevant payment methods will default from the vendor master or will be maintained at the transaction line item.

Incoming Invoice From FI-AP Module


Non-Purchase Order Invoices can be posted to the system by the invoice entry function provided in Account Payable. No purchase order is required during the posting process and the account posting is as follows: Dr. Expenses / Balance Sheet account Cr. Vendor 1

Like the invoices related to Materials Management, in FI, the vendors invoice number should be placed in the invoice documents Reference field.

Debit Note/Credit Memo


There are three scenarios of goods returned to vendors: a. Returned and pending the delivery for replacement b. Returned before invoice verification and cancelled the replacement c. Returned after invoice verification and cancelled the replacement

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

All purchasing returns will be done through return to vendor in Material Management module. A return note will be given to the accounts department to clear against the subsequent payment when it is due. The main difference between these 3 scenarios is whether a debit note/credit memo is required to be issued from the system. As in normal circumstances, debit notes are only required for scenario C where the invoices were already billed at order quantity above the actual quantity received.

Input Tax / Input VAT / Use Tax


The input tax will generally be shown in the Material Management module however for invoices created in FI, users will have to manually choose the tax rate.

currency payment to vendor who does not have an account with HSBC) Electronic payment files will be sent to HSBC bank via Hexagon

Payments are done either automatically or manually. Automatic payment process starts with the auto-payment run on vendors invoices. System will propose the vendors transactions that are due for payment and it can be edited before the payment is posted by the system. For automatic payment process, different output will be generated by the SAP system based on the payment types. For wire transfer the system will generate only the payment summary with an electronic file used to send to bank while for cheques payment, the system will create the physical checks in addition to the summary output. For manual payment, posting with clearing concept will be used, by entering the document line items and then select the open items that are to be cleared. Once the total amount of selected open items equals the amount of entered line items, the system clears the open items by creating one or more offsetting entries. This is mainly used for the ad-hoc transaction such as payments to vendors using foreign currency, which do not have a bank account with HSBC.

Down Payment
Down payment is posted in SAP using the Special GL Indicator (A). This is similar to the posting of down payment received from the customers. For down payment by cheque, the system will be able to generate the physical cheque. During the payment process, the down payment will be listed and cleared against the invoices due and only the net amount will be processed in the current process.

Each branch will have different general accounts for AP and AR to separately identify there debits and credits. This transaction will only be finance related. Intercompany posting in Logistics will be posted in the system automatically. The process for posting intercompany transactions is as follows: 1. The initial entry is parked. 2. Then an email is sent to the other branch to view the document. 3. On approval of the transaction, the parked document is then posted to the g/l in both companies. The company receiving the revenue will be the one responsible to book into system using the US dollar as base currency. Note: From FICO Prototype, it is agreed that there should be a synchronised triggering party (AAA subsidiary) in recording the intercompany transaction in SAP. Such party should be the 'Recipient of Revenue and should perform the posting in SAP'. AAA Corporate should impose future policy for Intercompany Posting in SAP. The rational should be: 'Recipient of Revenue should perform the posting in SAP'. The party who receive the expense only need to review the document after the posting.

3.5.1. Authorisation
Limited access will be given to users to restrict any mistake incurred. The park function when creating the journal entries will be used if supervisors need to check the entries are correct before posting.

Asset Accounting

The Asset Accounting System (FI-AA) in SAP R/3 is used for managing and supervising all the existing fixed assets in your enterprise. It also serves as a subsidiary ledger to the FI General Ledger, proving detailed information on the fixed assets transactions. However, according to the requirements in AAA, the Fixed Asset system has the following limitations: The Fixed Asset system is designed to manage the existing assets that have already been purchased. Management of possible future assets or capital investment cannot be done in fixed asset and is supposed to be done in Investment Management (IM) module Fixed Asset system generally does not provide linkage with a material or product in Material Management (MM). To link a fixed asset record to a material master, a work around solution is proposed by using a PP master data called Production Resource Tool (PRT).

The Fixed Asset system does not support flexible what if scenario analysis. Changes in depreciation method or useful life is available but are generally referring to actual changes instead of changes for simulation only

3.6.1. Chart of Depreciation:


A Charts of Depreciation is the highest level organization structure in SAP R/3 Asset Accounting which holds all the asset accounting relevant settings such as Depreciation Areas and the depreciation methods that are specific to a country. Since different companies in the same country are subject to the same legal regulation of fix assets depreciation, Chart of Depreciation is usually country specific and more than one Company Codes could be assigned to a single Chart of Depreciation. Each chart of depreciation also includes the tax book. Chart of Depreciation is a 3-character code that supports alpha-numeric format. As it is generally country specific, normally the coding of the Chart of Depreciation will include the country codes. The Chart of Depreciation in the to-be SAP R/3 System in AAA will be : Chart of Depreciation ZHK ZUS ZCA ZCN ZUK ZDE ZFR Chart of Depreciation Descriptions : HK Chart of Depreciation for AAA US Chart of Depreciation for AAA Canada Chart of Depreciation for AAA China Chart of Depreciation for AAA UK Chart of Depreciation for AAA German Chart of Depreciation for AAA France Chart of Depreciation for AAA Company code(s) assigned 5100 1000, 4100 4200 5200* 3100 3300 3400

*Remarks : It is confirmed that no fixed asset management is needed in company code 5300 (CCWK) as all the fixed assets in CCWK are being booked in CCHKs Company Code.

3.6.2. Depreciation Area:


A Depreciation Area represents an independent depreciation book in which different values can be calculated in parallel for each fixed asset for different purposes. The depreciation terms and values of expected life necessary for calculating a fixed asset book value and depreciation are all managed in depreciation area level. One single Chart of Depreciation could have more than one Depreciation Area. In each Chart of Depreciation in AAA, only the Depreciation Area 01 (Book Depreciation) will be integrated to the General Ledger in FI for postings. Other than the book depreciation, company codes in AAA Group could have up to two more Depreciations Areas for depreciation and net book value calculation for other purposes. Depreciation Area 15 is the depreciation calculation for Tax purpose if the tax depreciation rule is different from the book rule. For company codes that are having a ledger book currency other than USD, an additional Group Currency Depreciation Area has to be defined to provide the depreciation amount in group currency amount. The definition of the group currency depreciation

That means different companies are sharing the same set of Asset Classes in the system. However, asset classes that are not applicable to a certain Chart of Depreciation could be deactivated in that Chart of Depreciation individually such that the company codes assigned to that Chart of Depreciation will not wrongly use the unwanted Asset Classes. An asset class could be defined as an 8-character code or less in SAP R/3 system. Since the assets are generally classified according to the balance sheet G/L account differentiation of the fixed assets, the best way of defining the asset class coding is to follow the same or similar coding logic of the fix asset G/L accounts. In the current to-be chart of accounts proposal all the fixed asset related balance sheet accounts are ranging from 20010000 to 20059999 with differences only in the last 5-digit. So it is suggested that

the asset class is defined as a 5-digit code with the same coding format of the last 5 digits of the acquisition cost balance sheet account in the G/L. Addition of new asset class is actually a configuration process which is not supposed to be done by the users. However, there will be a knowledge transfer to the AAA IT supporting team such that they will be able to support that after go-live.

3.6.4. Asset Number Range:


Each asset master record will have a unique master record number for identification in Fixed Asset Accounting. The asset master record number is controlled by the asset number ranges. In SAP R/3, the asset number could be a maximum of 10-character code. The number could be externally assigned or determined internally by the system during the creation of an asset master record. With externally assigned number, the format of the asset number could be alpha-numeric. But for internally assigned number, the number should be pure numeric and is being generated sequentially from a pre-defined number range series. In AAA Group, an internal numbering system is proposed for asset master record. This is also the best practice proposed by SAP because this can minimize the numbering maintenance effort and can avoid duplication of the asset number. Number ranges in Asset Accounting could be asset class dependent. Different asset classes could have different number ranges such that the asset number itself could serve as a means for asset class identification. This setting is inline with the current numbering system of asset records in the legacy system of AAA. About the asset number format, it is proposed that the number is a pure numeric 10-digit code. The first 3 digits representing the asset class definition and the remaining 7 digits are sequential running numbers. The asset classes and the corresponding number ranges are shown in the following table: Asset Class 10010 10020 10030 10040 10050 10060 10070 10080 10090 10110 10120 10130 10140 10150 20010 Asset Class Descriptions Automobile/Truck Plant & Machinery Computer Hardware Computer Software Furniture & Fixture Fax and Copy Machine Office Equipment Leasehold Improvement Warehouse Equipment Building Mould & Tools Building Improvements Land Usage Right Capitalised R&D Cost After AFS (will be amortized) Asset Under Construction Capitalizable Asset No. Range (From) 101 0000000 102 0000000 103 0000000 104 0000000 105 0000000 106 0000000 107 0000000 108 0000000 109 0000000 111 0000000 112 0000000 113 0000000 114 0000000 115 0000000 201 0000000 Asset No. Range (To) 101 9999999 102 9999999 103 9999999 104 9999999 105 9999999 106 9999999 107 9999999 108 9999999 109 9999999 111 9999999 112 9999999 113 9999999 114 9999999 115 9999999 201 9999999

3.6.6. Asset Master Maintenance:


An asset master record is a record for an individual asset that contains all the relevant information and control parameters for an asset in Asset Accounting. An asset master record has to be created before any transaction of an asset could be done. Normally, the first transaction to be done for a fixed asset is the first acquisition posting. Asset Accounting in SAP R/3 is integrated with the MM module in such a way that the purchase (i.e. the acquisition posting) could be posted via goods receipt or invoice receipt in MM. In AAA, asset acquisition will be posted by the invoice verification in the MM modules. To achieve this, an asset mater record has to be created before the creation of the asset purchase order in MM. Purchases are also possible without a purchase order. In this case, the approval process will be off-line. The asset master record will be used as an account assignment in the asset purchase. The asset master record in AAA is structured as follows: Tag Pages on Asset Master Record General Data 1. Contains general information of the asset such as descriptions, quantity, serial number and inventory number which could be printed out from on a barcode label 2. Contains posting information such as the date of capitalization posting and the date of retirement posting. These dates are updated by the system automatically by the relevant transaction you posted in the system Time-dependent allocation of cost center of which the depreciation expense will post to. The same asset may be assigned to different cost centers in different validity periods of time. (The assignment of a cost center into a fixed asset record has a validity period. For example, if an asset originally is belongs to department 1, you may also change it to department 2 starting from next fiscal year ) Different evaluation groups available for further classification and grouping of assets for reporting and analysis purposes For storage of origin data such as country of origin, original manufacturer and the vendor you purchase from. (Origin data is descriptive information only

Depreciation keys and the expected useful life could be defaulted by the system according to individual asset classes. The depreciation start date will be determined and updated by the system according to the posting date of the first acquisition posting

Linkage Between Asset and Component by PRT:


AAA has a requirement to link the fixed asset of mould and tool with the component it produces. However, there is no direct system linkage between a fixed asset mater record and a material master record in MM. To full-fill the requirement, a work around solution is proposed by using a PP master data called Production Resource Tool (PRT) Producti on Order Routing

Asset

PRT Master Asset

Routing PRT

A user field in the asset master record will be used to store the PRT number which is being treated as a representation of the tooling asset. The PRT will be assigned to the routing of the component. Later when production order is created for the component, the PRT record will also be copied into the production order. From the backflushing transactions posted into the production order, we can have information about the usage of the tooling such as usage frequency, date of the last usage etc for reporting. There is no standard report to print out the tooling usage and a customized report will be developed to meet these requirements.

Figure 3.5.8.2. Asset Acquisition

With the integration between Asset Accounting System and the Material Management modules, the posting of acquisition of fix asset is being posted in MM via a transaction called Invoice Verification (for details of the transactions, please refer to the FI A/P section). In general, the posting of the invoice verification for a fixed asset PO will be as follows Dr. Fixed Asset Acquisition Cost Cr. Vendor (Accounts payable) After posting each asset purchase invoice in MM, in parallel to the general ledger document, an asset accounting document will also be generated to store the detailed information of the transaction in asset accounting. Besides, the posting date of the document will be copied into the asset master as the capitalization date and the depreciation start date of each depreciation area will also be determined and updated in the depreciation area data tag page Asset acquisition posting could also be done without PO from the MM module. Posting could be done in FI posting only

Asset Value and Depreciation Simulation


Once an acquisition is posted into an asset master record, the Asset Accounting System will be able to show the current net book value and the depreciation projection (projection of future depreciation amount based on the current depreciation method and life) of that asset. To check this kind of information, display the asset master record or call up a report called Asset Explorer. The most important information available for asset value display or Asset Explorer is as follows:

Current net book value of each depreciation areas (i.e. Book, Tax, or Group) Depreciation simulation (projection) by period and by fiscal year Actual posted depreciation amount by period

However, the simulation of depreciation is only available for current assets of which real acquisitions have been posted. Depreciation simulation for possible future assets is only available in Investment Management modules in SAP. In AAA, what ifanalysis is required to provide a simulation on the depreciation changes if the depreciation method or the expected useful life is changed. However such changes made in the asset master records are generally the actual changes which will have actual posting impact in G/L. To provide a workaround solution for the what if analysis, it is suggested that an additional depreciation area (i.e, depreciation book) will be added to capture the changes and provide the depreciation amount after the changes. This additional book will be defined as statistical only and no posting will be generated to the G/L

Asset Disposal Sales to a Customer


Sales of an asset to a customer is one of the possible scenarios of asset disposal in AAA. This transaction can be posted in Asset Accounting. A customer master record in SAP is needed before this transaction could be done. Information that is required to be input for this transaction is the asset being sold, customer master, the sales proceed amount and the revenue G/L account of the transaction. The system will automatically generate the required postings and deducted the net book value of the asset being sold. Supposed an asset with historical cost $1,000 and accumulated depreciation of $100 is being sold to a customer at a price of $1,100, the posting entries will be as follows: Dr. Customer account (A/R) Cr. Revenue for asset disposal Cr. Fix asset acquisition cost Dr. Accumulated depreciation Dr. Clearing account for asset disposal Cr. Gain/loss of fixed asset disposal 1,100 1,1001,000100 1,100 200-

The system will calculated the net P&L of the transaction and post the amount into a gain/loss of fixed asset disposal account. The posting date of the retirement posting will also be updated into the field deactivation date in the asset master as the retirement date.

Asset Disposal Scrap without Revenue

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

Instead of selling, an asset could be disposed as a scrap. In this case, no revenue is expected and a loss will be realised in the P&L if the fixed asset being scrapped still carries a net book value Posting of asset scrapping is also a standard feature in SAP Asset Accounting. For the same asset with historical cost $1,000 and accumulated depreciation of $100, the posting of the scrapping will be as follows: Cr. Fix asset acquisition cost Dr. Accumulated depreciation Cr. Gain/loss of fixed asset disposal 1,000100 900

Asset Transfer within a Company Reclassification


The net book value of an existing asset master record could be transferred to another asset within the same company. The transaction could be used in the following scenarios: Reclassify an existing asset to a new class or to correct an error Transfer an asset to a new one with the same class. This may be necessary to execute the change of the remaining useful life of an asset but still spread the net book value evenly throughout the remaining life without allowing the system to catch up the postings of the missing or extra depreciation of the past periods For an asset with historical cost $1,000 and accumulated depreciation of $100, the posting of the intracompany transfer posting will be follows: Cr. Fix asset acquisition cost (old asset) Dr. Accumulated depreciation (old asset) Dr. Fix asset acquisition cost (new asset) Cr. Accumulated depreciation (new asset) 1,000100 1,000 100-

The old asset being transferred will become a retired asset and the transfer posting date will be updated as the retirement date in the asset master record. For the new receiving asset, the transfer will be the same as if it is being acquired. The transfer posting date will be used as the capitalization date.

Asset Under Construction (AUC)


Asset under construction in SAP is used to capture the expenditure paid out for assets purchased with multiple payment instalments or for expenditure of an asset being produced or constructed internally. In both cases, the depreciation of the amount paid out or the cost incurred during the construction phase is normally started after the final payment is made or the asset construction is completed. The old and the new asset will be linked together by the settlement posting document In AAA, asset under construction is used in the following scenarios:

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 75 of 172

1. To capture the capitalizable portion of the R&D development cost 2. To capture the expenditure incurred in building construction in progress 3.6.7.1.1. Transaction with Asset Under Construction

Normally, the transactions that could be associated with an asset under construction record could be exactly the same as other normal assets described in previous sections. For example, an acquisition could be posted to an asset under construction from purchase order. The only difference is that all the costs being posted into an asset under construction will not be depreciated because the asset master record of an AUC will not contain any depreciation relevant settings. Other than the normal acquisition postings, costs could also be posted into an AUC by means of settlement of other CO objects. In the case of R&D development, the costs incurred in the development will still be posted into an Internal Order (which is a cost object in the CO module) as P&L items. The capitalizable portion of the costs will be capitalized into an AUC (which is a balance sheet item) by a settlement process in Internal Order.

3.6.7.1.2.

Settlement of AUC

When the asset under construction has come to a stage where depreciation should start, a settlement should be done to that AUC record in order to settle the amount captured in the AUC to a real asset master record which carries the required depreciation terms. Unlike the settlement process for CO cost objects which is normally a periodic (usually month end) processing, settlement of AUC is not part of a month end processing that has to be done every month. The settlement of AUC actually is done on an ad hoc basis or at any time where necessary. Particularly, for the case of R&D development cost in AAA, the settlement of AUC will not be done until the Available For Shipment (AFS) date is reached. Settlement of AUC costs could be done in line items level where you define the settlement receivers (i.e. the real asset number) in each line items level. Alternatively, the whole total cost within an AUC record could settled to a single receiver asset or distributed to several assets by a percentage ratio.

Month End Processing Depreciation Run

The depreciation calculation and posting of each asset is done periodically as a batch job during month end process. Virtually speaking, there is no format month end closing procedure required in asset accounting. The depreciation run will be the only regular month end job to be done. The month end batch job is processed in the background. The system will calculate the depreciation amount based on the depreciation terms (i.e. the depreciation methods, useful life, depreciation start date etc) specified in each of the asset master and post the result to the general ledger. The general posting will be as follows: Dr. Depreciation expense

Cr. Accumulated depreciation


Note that the above posting to G/L will be done in a summary level by G/L accounts and cost center levels because the depreciation expense has to be charged to cost center in CO. However, the detailed depreciation amount of each asset will also be stored in Asset Accounting such that each unique asset master record will also have its unique posted depreciation amount. Besides, after each depreciation run, the system will issue a report which list out the depreciation posting amount of each individual assets as a record. This is advised that this report should be kept as an additional audit trail.

Year End Processing


At the end of each fiscal year, you are required to do a year end processing in Fixed Asset Accounting. The year end closing is (i.e. fiscal year change) is just to open the next fiscal year and at the same time close the previous fiscal year in Asset Accounting. SAP provides a programme with easy user interface to do the year end closing job. It is advised that the job should be done in a background mode and the system will convert all the asset master records from the previous fiscal year to the next year.

3.7.

Cost Center Accounting


Cost Center Accounting provides the mechanism to collect and report operating activity within organizational units of a company. At AAA, these units are represented by departments within each Reporting Unit. SAP cost centers have been arranged in a hierarchy to reflect AAAs department structure that facilitates internal reporting and accountability. Each cost center generally represents a department or unit that is the responsibility of a manager. Managers can then monitor the performance of their departments by accessing reports on their cost centers. Costs in a cost center can be easily allocated to other cost centers or different cost units within the system. Cost allocations are implemented though allocation cycles where the sending and receiving cost units, and the allocation basis for cost distribution are user defined

The diagram below shows how financial postings get booked to a cost center through a transaction in the Financial module. When the expense is posted, a cost center in the Controlling module may be included as the department responsible for incurring the expense.

Figuring 3.6 Postings in FI and CO

The main cost center business transactions are: Primary cost postings these are postings that occur in CO when expense accounts are posted to the G/L in the FI module Actual cost allocations these are the distribution of postings from one cost center (the sender) to another or a group of cost centers (the receiver). The distribution could be to other receiver objects besides cost centers (such as an internal order) Cost center planning (Budgeting) - this is the process of entering budget figures for department expenses Plan cost allocations (distribution / assessment) - this is the same as the actual cost allocation but the figures being distributed are the budget figures rather than the actual postings

Statistical key figures can be used for internal cost allocations, and can be defined as either fixed values or totals values. There are two major types of allocation in SAP: Distribution Assessment

Distribution is the process of cost allocation used to allocate primary costs of cost center using the original primary cost elements. In this method, the costs being allocated will be retained into the original cost elements. On the other hand allocation by assessment could be applied to both

primary and secondary costs using a secondary assessment cost element which is different from the original cost elements. In this case, the costs being allocated will be posted to a secondary assessment cost element. In AAA Bbb, the statistical key figures are defined for assessment purpose: The statistical key figures used are: Employees Man-hours Floor space Quantity by Finish Goods

3.7.3. Overhead Allocation


Costs are initially posted to a 'common' (or shared) cost center during the month, and at the month end these costs are allocated to respective cost centers based on the allocation basis. Costs can be allocated via reposting or allocation cycle. AAA will re-assign shared costs mainly though allocation cycles. Allocations of costs to the respective cost centers are done based on i.e. head-counts, transaction volumes, percentage, etc. The following are defined in the allocation cycle: Sender cost center Receiving cost center Allocation basis (floor space, percentage etc) Sender primary cost element Receiving secondary cost element (if use assessment allocation method)

3.7.4. Re-posting of cost Incorrect posting of costs and revenues can be corrected with the re-posting function in cost center accounting. This enables users to amend specific line items from CO documents and provide management with a clear audit trail when reviewing adjusted CO postings. 3.7.5. Period End-Closing

Period end closing process is a monthly activity in CO and it refers to the following areas:
Execution of allocation cycles to apportion cost from common or shared cost centers to final cost centers Generation of monthly reports

The following tasks have to be executed at every period end closing: Ensure postings are completed from sub modules and sub modules have closed Execute all the active allocation cycles Check key figures to sub modules (i.e. total Cost Center Accounting figures to agree to total G/L expense accounts etc) Generate monthly reports Lock current posting period for controlling

3.8.

Internal Order
Internal orders are used to monitor overhead costs incurred for a specific event, project or activity. It can be used for a restricted period when executing a job, or for long-term monitoring of portions of overhead costs. Internal Orders are company code dependent. Internal order groups can be created for cross-company reporting. Overhead cost orders will be used to collect actual costs incurred. This allows costs to be monitored continuously. The overhead costs assigned to the overhead cost orders are settled (in full) as costs to other cost collectors. This is generally on the periodic basis, at month-end.

3.8.1. Order Master Data Creation For AAA Bbb HK internal orders will be used to keep track of Project costs. In addition, internal orders will be used to keep track of the legal costs associated to which law firm and cases for AAA Bbb Corporation.
The order type determines the following: The Order Category Orders have different purposes in the R/3 System, for example they can be used to monitor R&D expenses that can be settled to fixed, monitor short term or long term overhead expenses. The

structure and function of an order, as well as the transactions you use to process it, all depend on the order category. Numbering Assignment You must assign each order type to a number range. Number assignment takes place centrally for all orders of this order type. Control Indicator This allows you to change the below control indicator centrally for all orders of this order type. Commitments Management For each order type, you must specify whether you want to use commitments management (contractual or scheduled commitment that is not yet reflected in Financial Accounting but will lead to actual expenditures in the future). For example when entering into contract such as a Purchase Order, the commitment cost of this PO can be reflected in the internal order and this amount will be reduced every time a goods receipt is done based on this PO. This allows scheduled costs that have not impacted financial accounting to be shown to user. If service PO is used then commitment management can be applied to this as well. Integrated Planning If you want to update planned activity input directly on the sending cost center, you can activate integrated planning as a default value. When required, you can change the indicator in the order master data. Status Management An order can pass through many statuses. The status controls, for example, which business transactions are allowed on the order. For example, the system will not allow any posting into an order that has not released yet In additions to R&D expenditure and legal expenses, there are some other possible order types for other types of expenditure such as expatriate expense, travelling expense, trade show etc. More order types could be defined in the detailed design phase.

3.8.2. Order Actual Transaction Posting


Currently, at AAA, two transactions types have been identified for Orders:

1. Costs Associated to Projects These are project expenses which management wishes to capture separately from other expenses. Certain expenses will be capitalized while others will be expensed off. 2. Legal Cost by Law Firm and Case These are legal expenses which management wishes to capture separately. Each order will represent the Law firm and specific Cases the costs are associated to. More order types are to be defined later.

Figure 3.7.3 Settlement in an Internal Order

For Internal Orders that capture Legal Costs by law firms and case, there is no settlement needed. For Internal Order that captures Project expenses, there will be a need to settle the capitalized expenses part to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) on a monthly basis, and the expenses portion will be settled to a P&L account or cost object. Once the project is completed and all costs have been settled to AUC, the status of the internal order will be closed and no further posting can be made. Further settlement will be needed to a Fixed Asset (with an intangible asset class) in order to amortize the cost over a 24 month period using straight line method. In order to help the users to separate the total project costs into the portion to be capitalized and the portion to be expensed more easily, the costs items (i.e. the expense accounts) will be grouped into these two categories by means of a parameter called source structure assignment used in the settlement rule of the internal order. When the settlement rule is defined, the user can assign some costs to be settled to a cost center, and other costs that are tagged as capitalized to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC).

Product Costing

3.9.1. Logistics Master Data


The logistics master data required for product costing and the usage is summarized as follows: Logistics Master data Material master (MRP views) Material master (Accounting view) Material master (Costing view) Routing master BOM master Purchasing info record of raw material purchase Purchasing info record of subcontracting Major Usage

Provide data of procurement source (such as internal production, external procurement or subcontracting) for product cost calculation Provide financial data such as inventory price of raw materials and the consumption G/L account (through account determination valuation class)
Provide costing calculation control parameters such as overhead group, origin group etc. (will be discussed in more details in later sections) Provide standard production time (SPT) that is relevant for labour and production overhead calculation Provide list of raw materials and their usage quantities for the production of the product Provide purchasing price of raw materials for raw material cost calculation when the inventory price is not yet available in the material master Provide subcontracting labour cost for subcontracting materials

(For detailed definitions and function of the above master data, please refer to the design documentation of the relevant logistics modules)

3.9.2. CO Master Data Cost Center


A cost center is used to represent a department in AAA. The cost centers of the production departments will be used in product costing. Activity Type prices (i.e. labour and production overhead rates) are planned at each production department cost centers and each of the production department cost centers will be assigned to a work center in PP such that the activity prices could be assigned to work center for labour and overhead cost calculation.

Activity Types
Activity types classify the activities produced in the cost centers within a controlling area. For production related cost centers, activity types are generally referring to the production activities. Using the activity types, we can calculate activity prices by cost budgeting of activity-dependent cost items. The activity prices will be used to calculate the production labour and overhead costs to be absorbed into inventory of the products produced. The production related activity types in AAA are listed below : Activity type CAMLAB CAMAOH CAMLOH CAMOH PAKLAB PAKAOH PAKLOH PAKOH SKCLAB SKCAOH SKCLOH SKCOH Description Labour cost for bulk bbb Assembly labour overhead for bulk bbb Component labour overhead for bulk bbb Activity unit Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H) Hour (H)

Other overhead for bulk bbb


Labour cost for packaging Assembly labour overhead for packaging Component labour overhead for packaging Other overhead for packaging Labour cost for silkscreen Assembly labour overhead for silkscreen Component labour overhead for silkscreen Other overhead for silkscreen

Origin Groups
Origin groups is a parameter in the costing view of a material master. If offers an additional dimension to sub-divide or classify raw materials into different categories for reporting and analysis purposes in product costing. In AAA, the origin groups will be defined as a more detailed nature classification of raw materials and components such that the material costs could be further sub-divided into different natures for analysis. An appropriate value of the origin group must be assigned to the Origin Group field in the costing view of the material master. The origin groups defined in AAA are : Origin group code B1 B2 Description Electronic parts in bulk bbb Plastics parts in bulk bbb

B3 B4 B5 P1 S1

Metal parts in bulk bbb Lens parts in bulk bbb Other parts in bulk bbb Raw materials for packaging Raw materials for silkscreen

Overhead group
Overhead group is another parameter that is being entered into the costing view in the material master data. Unlike the origin group which is generally applied to raw materials, the overhead group is usually used in semi-finished or finished goods for control of production overhead calculation. In AAA, 2 overhead groups will be defined to classify products into two separate categories according to the need of production royalty calculation. One group represents production royalty is needed and the other group represents production royalty is not required. The overhead group is assumed to be entered into the material master for finished goods products only because the royalty will only be calculated on finished goods level. The two overhead groups to be defined are: Overhead group ROY0 ROY1 Description No production royalty Production royalty calculation required

Different overhead groups represent different products groups which are subject to different charge rate of royalty. Therefore, number the overhead group required for royalty calculation could be expanded depending on the detailed requirements

Percentage Overhead Keys


A percentage overhead key is a key where you can specify the conditions in percentage rates for overhead allocation to the product cost of a product. You could have a flexibility to define different percentage rates with different overhead keys. In AAA, the major need of defining different overhead keys to separate the overheard allocation into three different categories namely bulk bbb, packaging and silkscreen. The followings is the list of overhead keys to be defined in AAA:

Quantity Overhead Keys


A quantity overhead key is a key where you can specify the conditions of overhead allocation in terms of a fixed amount per unit of quantity. In AAA, the major usage of the quantity overhead key is for definition of production royalty rate which is a fixed amount applied to different products. In addition to royalty, quantity overhead keys will also be used in the cost estimate calculation in Net Billing because some of the cost items in Net Billing also require application of a fixed amount rate to the product cost. The preliminary design of the quantity overhead keys to be defined is as follows : Quantity overhead key ZR1 ZNB1 ZNB2 Description Production royalty Consumption VAT for testing battery (Net Billing only) Consumption VAT for testing film (Net Billing only) Calculation base to be applied Finished goods production output quantity Finished goods production output quantity Finished goods production output quantity

Costing Variants
A costing variant is a collection of different control parameters of product cost calculation. The major control is the logic and pricing strategy of the different costing

components such as materials cost, activity prices (SPT costs), subcontracting price and general overhead allocation. Three different major costing variants will be defined in AAA: Standard cost estimates calculation for material valuation (i.e. cost estimates calculation for material master standard price update) Cost estimate calculation for Net Billing Cost estimate calculation for other Request for Quotation (RFQ) purposes Pricing control of costing variant for material valuation : Costing items Material cost Pricing strategy priority sequence 1.

3.9.3. Summary of Product Cost Approaches Finished Goods Inventory in Production Plant 5100
Valuation at moving average price per batch (FIFO batch valuation) A new batch number will be generated for each production order (work order) producing the finished product Each batch will have a unique material cost The material cost of a batch is calculated from semi-finished goods and raw materials that are directly constituting to the finished product according to the BOM

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

All inventory of each semi-finished product will be valuated the same (at the defined standard cost) The standard cost can be updated either: 1) manually, or 2) automatically from the cost roll-up (can be using weighted average) of the lower levels of the BOM and can be selectively updated only for certain semi-finished products. Re-valuation of existing inventories for semi-finished product will happen whenever the standard cost is updated. The gain or loss will post to the P/L accounts

Raw Materials Inventory in Production Plant 5100


Raw materials will be valuated for each batch of the receipts of purchase using the purchase order price. The batches of raw materials will be issued to production orders at FIFO. No re-valuation of raw materials will be required.

All Inventory in Branches


Inventory will be valuated for each batch of the receipts of STO using the STO price (transfer prices plus the landed costs). The batches of goods will be delivered to customers at FIFO. No re-valuation of inventory will happen.

3.9.4. Activity type prices planning


The activity type prices in AAA are the standard labour and overhead rates which will be applied to the standard production time to calculate the absorption of standard labour and overhead cost. In AAA, the standard rates are being calculated in the yearly budget and the rates will be applied for the whole year. In SAP, the same thing is being done in cost center planning. In cost center planning, the budget of activity type dependent costs (i.e. production related labour and overhead costs will be entered into each production cost centers). On the other hand, users have also to plan the budgeted activity quantities and enter the budget into each production cost centers respectively. After that, users could run an activity price calculation programme to calculate the related activity price per unit of activity quantity. The planning data could be entered as a yearly total figures or be broken down into different monthly total, depending on the actual needs of the user when doing the budgeting. This activity has to be done before you can calculate the correct product cost estimate.

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

3.9.5. Percentage Overhead Rates Maintenance


In addition to the activity type prices, the product costing users in AAA have to maintain the percentage overhead as well such that the general overhead could be allocated into the product cost by the desired percentage rates. There is no standard system function in SAP R/3 to help the user to calculate the percentage rates. Users have to come up with the percentages outside the system and then enter the rates for each percentage overhead keys. There is a validity period of each rate values. That means users could enter a monthly or yearly percentage rate by maintaining different validity period. This activity has to be done before you can calculate the correct product cost estimate.

3.9.6. Quantity Overhead Rates Maintenance


The maintenance procedure of quantity overhead rates is very similar to the percentage overhead. The major difference is that the rate being entered for quantity overhead is a dollar amount value per unit of quantity instead of a percentage rate. Similar to percentage overhead, there is a userdefinable validity period for each amount rates. This activity has to be done before you can calculate the correct product cost estimate.

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

3.9.7. Cost Estimate Calculation


This is the process for calculating a product cost of a product. You will have to calculate a cost estimate of a product in the following major scenarios: 1. Calculation of the standard production cost estimate of a new product and use the standard cost estimate as the standard price for future inventory valuation 2. Calculation of the new standard cost estimate of an old product if you want to revaluate that inventory valuation price of that product 3. Calculation of a new standard cost estimate of a product for purposes other than inventory valuation (such as for Net Billing and other quotation reference or other purposes) In scenario 1 and 2 above, you should use the costing variant desired for calculation of standard price for inventory valuation to process your cost estimate calculation. You could also calculate different versions of cost estimates for other purposes. However, only one version (version 01) could be updated into material master standard price as the inventory valuation price. If you have really calculated different versions of costing for the same materials, they will be kept in the system unless being deleted or overwritten by a new calculation of the same version. In scenario 3, you should use the costing variant desired for Net Billing calculation because the calculation logic and the standard rates required will be different from the normal inventory cost calculation. Again, you could calculate and save different versions of costs. But in this case, all versions cannot be updated into the material master for inventory valuation. Major difference of the calculation logic in Net Billing could be summarized as follows: Cost items Calculation Major difference

This item does not exist in inventory valuation A specific set of exchange rates is being used to convert the part prices into USD

The calculation logic for all other cost items will be the same as the inventory valuation calculation Two processing options are available for cost estimates calculation, individual processing or mass processing using a tool called Costing Run. In both cases, you could choose to do the costing calculation for selective materials only.

3.9.8. Standard Price Update from Standard Cost Estimate Mark & Release
Mark and release are two technical steps to be done in SAP product costing to update your standard cost estimate into the standard price of the material master for inventory valuation. That means the steps are only required for inventory standard price update. Cost estimates that are used for other purposes are not required to do these two processes. From inventory valuation points of views, the inventory valuation will only be effective after the standard cost estimate has been marked and released to the material master. That means even if you have calculated a new standard cost estimate in product costing of an old product, the old product will not be revaluated if you have not yet marked and released the new cost into material master.

3.9.9. Standard Cost Estimates for Single Use Bbb (SUC)


In AAA, the single use bbb could be produced from newly produced components (virgin version) or recycle components (recycle version). There will be two BOMs for every single use bbb model, one BOM is for virgin production the other is for recycle production. When calculating the standard cost of SUC, according to the current practice, AAA CCHK Finance will define a percentage ratio mix of the two BOMs to come up with a single mixed standard price for the SUC. This approach is also a standard feature in SAP R/3 product costing system called Mixed Costing.

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 94 of 172

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

Mixed costing allows you to update a mixed standard price from different production alternative BOMs. You have to define a percentage mixing ratios of the different production alternatives and the system will mix the prices of the different production alternatives by the mixing ratio to come up with a single weighted average standard price. (The mix is controlled by CCHK Finance. To change the mix in the system, change the system mix ratio, then re-calculate the new price)

3.9.10. Product Cost Estimates for New Products


In AAA, the development of a new product consist of many different phases. At the early stage, a material number may not be available for the new product. But AAA finance still needs to come up with an early estimation of product cost of the new product. In SAP, this process could be done via Reference and Simulation Costing. The detailed requirements and the solution of this issue will be defined in the detailed design phase.

3.9.11. Production Order Processing for Semi-finished Goods Production order of semi-finished goods are used to manage the production of nonfinished goods components (such as plastic components) or sub-assemblies (such as PCBA or bulk bbb). All such materials are being regarded as WIP in AAAs terminology

Raw material consumption at backflushing


Raw material costs are being posted and captured into the production order by a goods issue posting. According to the to-be design in PP, the goods issue posting will be done automatically at backflushing. The system will automatically consume the raw materials to the production according to the usage quantity defined in production BOM. Suppose $100 of raw material cost is consumed in the production order, the accounting posting will be as follows : Cr. Raw material inventory Dr. Raw material consumed 100100

The raw material consumption cost will be posted to P&L and captured into the production order

Labour and production overhead cost allocation


In addition to raw material consumption, the production time consumed in the production order will also be entered during backflushing entries. Suppose the production time being entered is 10 hour and the standard rate for labour and overhead are $1/hr and $2/hr respectively, the labour and overhead cost being allocated into the production order will be $10.00 and $20.00 respectively. The posting will be as follows Dr. Labour cost (to production order) Cr. Labour cost absorption (from cost center) 10Dr. Overhead cost (to production order) 20 Cr. Overhead cost absorption (from cost center) 2010

All the above postings are pure CO postings (i.e. statistical postings in CO only) using secondary cost elements which does not have any posting effect in the general ledger. But the implication in CO is that $10 and $20 labour and overhead costs are being charged from the production cost center to the production order.

Absorption of Production Cost to Inventory at Goods Receipt


When the production of certain units of the semi-finished goods is completed, a goods receipt should be done to post the completed units back to the inventory pool for other stages of production. This transaction will also be done automatically by means of backflushing entries. In other words, the backflushing entries will post the consumption of raw materials, production time being charged to the production order and the goods receipt of the completed units at the same time. (Raw materials should be issued at FIFO. But for semi-finished goods, only the standard cost is used) During each goods receipt posting, the amount of inventory of the semi-finished goods being received will be posted to inventory account at the standard price which have

already included the raw material cost, labour and production overhead, and the general percentage overhead (calculated from standard cost estimates). Suppose the standard price of the semi-finished goods is $129.00 which includes $90 of standard raw material cost, $10 of standard labour cost, $20 of standard production overhead cost, and $9 of general overall cost (10% of the total standard raw material cost), the goods receipt posting will be as follows : Dr. Semi-finished goods inventory Cr. Factory output from production 129 129-

The credit posting is a P&L item which capitalizes standard cost amount of $129.00 from the P&L in the production order to the inventory. In other words, the WIP inventory of the semi-finished goods which is being valuated at the standard price of $129.00 has also included the absorption of the standard labour cost, the standard overhead cost and the general overhead cost.

Month End Processing General Overhead Allocation


The percentage general overhead allocation to production order will be done as part of the month end procedure for production orders. Continue with our previous example of the production order of which $100 of actual raw material cost has been posted and general overhead rate is 10%. That means the general overhead being allocated to the production order will be $10.00. The posting will be as follows : Dr. General overhead cost (to production order) 10 Cr. General overhead cost absorption (from cost center) 10Similar to the labour and production overhead cost postings, the above postings are CO postings only which have no effect in the general ledger.

Month End Processing WIP Calculation


After finishing the general overhead allocation process, all the cost capturing postings of the production order in that period could be treated as completed. The next step to be done in the overall month end procedure will be WIP calculation. With our existing example, the cost items posted into the order are as follows : Raw material costs Labour cost 100 10

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

Production overhead 20 General overhead 10 Factory output 129------------------------------------------Total net P&L in order 11 The net order balance of $11.00 left in the production order will be treated as the WIP amount in SAP R/3 if the overall status of the production order has not yet completed. Normally, a production order is treated as completed when the total goods receipt quantity = the total goods quantity planned to be produced. In SAP R/3, actually the nature of WIP calculation and the corresponding posting in FI general ledger is just an accrual posting for the costs that have not yet been absorbed by goods receipt and are still remained in an incomplete production order at the time of month end processing.

Month End Processing Variance Calculation


After finishing the WIP calculation, users have to process the variance calculation process. If the production order in our existing example has been completed, the remaining order balance of $11.00 will be treated as production variance instead of WIP. The total $11.00 of production variance could be broken down into different cost natures (such as $10.00 raw material cost and $1.00 of general overhead costs) and different sources (such as price or quantity usage of raw materials). The breakdown will be posted and stored into different value fields in COPA for analysis.

Month End Processing Settlement


Settlement is the last step of the month end procedure for production orders. The usage of the settlement is to generate accounting postings for the calculation results of WIP and variance calculations. If the order is incomplete (i.e. total goods receipt qty is less than the total planned output qty), WIP will be posted and the entries will be as follows : Dr. WIP Cr. WIP capitalisation 11 11-

(You will know if the order is complete when the total delivered quantity is equal to the total quantity to be produced)

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

The posting effect is to post an accrual of the P&L amount of $11.00 back to the balance sheet. If the production order is completed in the next period, this accrual posting will be reversed automatically by the system of the next month end settlement. If the order is complete (i.e. the total goods receipt qty = total planned output quantity), production variance will be posted and the entries will be as follows : Dr. Production Variance Cr. Factory output from production 11 11-

The overall effect is to reclassify the net P&L cost in the production order into production variance account. In additions to the above general ledger postings, the production variance will also be broken down and posted into COPA.

3.9.12. Production Order Processing for Finished Goods Production order of finished goods are used to manage the production of the finished products. In most cases, this present the final packing process in AAA. But actually the whole production order execution process will be exactly the same as the orders for semifinished goods Raw material consumption at backflushing
Materials used for final production of finished goods and the required semi-finished goods will be consumed into the production order by backflushing. Suppose $100 of packaging raw material cost and $200 costs (from standard price) of semi-finished goods are consumed in the production order, the accounting posting will be as follows : Cr. Raw material inventory Cr. Semi-finished goods inventory Dr. Raw material consumed Dr. Semi-finished goods consumed 100200100 200

The material consumption cost will be posted to P&L and captured into the production order

Labour and production overhead cost allocation


The same logic mentioned in the semi-finished goods case still applies. Suppose the production time being entered in backflushing is 10 hour and the standard rate for labour and overhead are $1/hr and $2/hr respectively, the labour and overhead cost being

allocated into the production order will be $10.00 and $20.00 respectively. The posting will be as follows Dr. Labour cost (to production order) Cr. Labour cost absorption (from cost center) 10Dr. Overhead cost (to production order) 20 Cr. Overhead cost absorption (from cost center) 2010

Absorption of Production Cost to Inventory at Goods Receipt


The production costs in the finished goods production order will be capitalised into finished goods inventory during goods receipt (i.e. backflushing). But the production order cost estimate (i.e. the plan cost of the production order) will be used (instead of the standard cost) to post the good receipt value Suppose the production order cost estimate of finished goods is $329.00 which includes $200 of semi-finished goods costs, $90 of standard raw material cost, $10 of standard labour cost, $20 of standard production overhead cost, and $9 of general overall cost (10% of the total standard raw material cost), the goods receipt posting will be as follows : Dr. Finished goods inventory Cr. Factory output from production 329 329-

Month End Processing General Overhead Allocation


Continue with our previous example of the production order of which $100 of actual raw material cost have been posted and general overhead rate is 10%. That means the general overhead being allocated to the production order will be $10.00. The posting will be as follows : Dr. General overhead cost (to production order) 10 Cr. General overhead cost absorption (from cost center) 10-

Month End Processing WIP Calculation


With our existing example for finished goods order, the cost items posted into the order are as follows : Semi-finished goods costs 200

Raw material costs 100 Labour cost 10 Production overhead 20 General overhead 10 Factory output 329------------------------------------------Total net P&L in order 11 Same as semi-finished goods order, the net order balance of $11.00 left in the finished goods production order will be treated as WIP if the order is incomplete (i.e. the total goods receipt quantity is less than the total planned output quantity)

Month End Processing Variance Calculation


Unlike semi-finished goods, this process is virtually not required for finished goods order because the finished goods is valuated at moving average price

Month End Processing Settlement


If the order is incomplete (i.e. total goods receipt qty is less than the total planned output qty), WIP will be posted and the entries will be as follows : Dr. WIP Cr. WIP capitalisation 11 11-

If the production order is completed in the next period, this accrual posting will be reversed automatically by the system of the next month end settlement. The overall mechanism is exactly the same as the production for semi-finished goods If the order is complete (i.e. the total goods receipt qty = total planned output quantity) and the finished goods inventory has not yet been sold before month end, the production variance will be posted to finished goods inventory as follows : Dr. Finished goods inventory Cr. Factory output from production 11 11-

After the posting, the inventory value becomes $340.00 ($290 + $11) which is the total actual cost incurred in the production order. If the order is complete (i.e. the total goods receipt qty = total planned output quantity) and the finished goods inventory has been sold before month end, the production variance will be posted to P&L as production variance

3.10. Profitability Analysis


This is the highest organisation level in the Controlling (CO) module (for Cost Accounting purposes), in which the profitability of the company can be viewed and analysed in multiple dimensions, like plant, product characteristics, sales organisations, distribution channels, etc. These dimensions are termed as Characteristics in the SAP CO-PA module. The aim of the module is to provide your sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning departments with information to support internal accounting and decision-making. CO-PA lets you evaluate market segments, classified according to various characteristics such as products, customers, or strategic business units such as company codes, etc. with respect to your company's profit or contribution margin. In AAA, CO-PA will serve both analysis needs from Finance and Supply Chain users. Due to the integration nature of SAP, necessary Sales/ Profit data are centralised in COPA for different analysis purposes. This centralisation of logistics characteristics and financial information will be performed in the COPA in R/3 system. Gathered data will be fed the SAP Business Information Warehouse(BW) for further reporting capabilities. As a result, AAA needs a comprehensive review on the requirements for both COPA and BW at the same time to synchronize the understandings across the company and identify a streamlined solution for different reporting needs. This exercise is commenced and the confirmed requirement on both COPA and BW will be obtained from AAA users (both Finance and Supply Chain) by end of Dec 2003. Note: The COPA sections in the design document only reflect the initial information gathering and preliminary mapping to different R/3 structures. Revised version is expected after full review completed by end of Dec 2003.

3.10.2. COPA Method Deployment


In SAP CO-PA module, there are 2 methods to account for market segment analysis: Costing-Based COPA Accounting-Based COPA During the design phase, white paper has been issued on the comparison on different COPA method. AAA Management has confirmed that Costing-based Profitability Analysis will be deployed by AAA. This section highlights some of the major comparison and will focus on the rational why Costing-based COPA is the preferred method for AAA.

Common Structure Profitability Segments


Both methods store Cost of Sales information in different Profitability Segments. Each unique combination of Characteristics forms a specific Profitability Segment. Examples of Characteristics: Product No., Product Gp, Plant, Company Code, Customer No., Sales Area, Distribution Channel, Region, etc.

Reasons for adopting Costing-Based COPA


SAP CO-PA was intended for use with a cost-based approach that stores different currencies, quantities and values from SD, FI, MM and PP as PA value fields to manipulate for a variety of reports. This is the recommended path as it allows more variability in collecting data for PA reports (related to details of cost components for variances, etc.) According to Accenture experiences on High-Tech industry companies using SAP COPA, the majority of them utilitise Costing-Based COPA to enable more detail level of Cost of Sales analysis. Costing-Based CO-PA sometimes does not match with legal book values. Such discrepancies can be explained mainly by 3 big factors: o Timing differences:

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 105 of 172

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

When the Delivery step is performed in SAP SD, but Billing is not, nothing gets booked into COPA, but COGS is already booked in the FI legal book. During the SD Prototype, since Billing Due List (a batch program) will be executed each day, which perform the billing step for Sales Order with Delivery but not yet billed, the COGS and Revenue will be in syn in both FI and COPA for AAA. o Accruals: It is possible that accrued values are posted in COPA (might be triggered by program in Sales Order conditions), without any posting in FI legal book Rounding differences from Foreign Currency Translations

Note: Management using/ viewing these COPA reports need to be acknowledged the fact that due to the intended design of the Costing-Base COPA, values not necessarily always tie to FI legal book. Discrepancies to FI might occur, but explainable.

3.10.3. COPA Structure - Characteristics


The characteristics in Profitability Analysis represent those criteria according to which you analyze your operating results and your sales and profit plan. The combination of the values for the characteristics in an operating concern is called a Profitability Segment. Preliminary mapping of AAA requirement to SAP structure are summarized in the following table. Details are subject to change as part of the exercise in confirming the final COPA/ MOR business requirement. As a result of the COPA/BW warehouse, this will be finalized early Jan.

3.10.4. COPA Structure Value Fields


The value fields contain values and quantities that were updated or planned for particular objects. In costing-based profitability analysis, value fields represent the lowest level of detail at which you can analyze quantities, revenues, sales deductions, and costs for profitability segments in profitability analysis or contribution margin accounting. You are able to define the revenues and costs that go into specific value fields for profitability reports or sales and profit planning when you set up your SAP System. Preliminary mapping of AAA requirement to SAP structure are summarized in the following table.

3.10.5. Actual Value Flow into COPA


For Sales and Distribution module triggered business transactions, COPA in AAA will be updated upon Billing stage. All the sales transactions posted in COPA will therefore have both the Sales Revenue and Cost of Sales matched, and margin analysis in COPA is possible with complete data of the sales transaction. Additional postings directly from FI module are possible for exceptional conditions. The detail Actual Value Flow design into COPA from other SAP modules will be confirmed upon completion of the whole COPA/ BW requirement gather stage (by end of Dec 2003).

3.10.6. Special Treatments on Responsible Branch


In AAA, there are sales deals that are recorded in CCHKs accounting book, but belongs to Responsible Branch in management reporting perspective. Responsible Branch in this case refer to AAA subsidiaries/ area of concerns which initiate the sales relationship with the Customer. Each Customer will therefore has a unique Responsible Branch. In SAP, for every Customer Master Record, Responsible Branch should be identified. We will use the field Sales Office in the SAP Customer Master Sales View in recording this information. For example,

Customer: Sales Office: Customer: Sales Office:

A CCUK B CCHK

Sales transactions of both Customer A and B are booked in CCHKs book. This impacts the FIGL. In Management Reporting (either in COPA or BW in To-be SAP), Customer A will belong to CCUK. Respective Sales Revenue, COGS, Allowances will all be presented as if the sales triggered by CCUK. Customer B will remain under CCHK in Management Reports, due to the Sales Office is CCHK.

Annual Budgeting process for AAA has been documented on the process flow section in this design document. Sales forecast information form the source data for the budgeting process. Departments involved includes: Accounting Dept (Corporate), Accounting Dept (local subsidiaries), Sales and Marketing Dept (local subsidiaries). Budgeting for AAA is termed as Planning in SAP. Same as the actual financial data capturing, the financial planning function in SAP R/3 is handled by different modules and can be integrated. Note that though R/3 provides a range of Planning capabilities to enable the information capturing of AAAs Annual Budgeting process on different stages, sophisticated Budgeting analysis (for example What-If analysis, sensitivity analysis, etc.) need to be handled by a more advanced SAP Financial product Strategic Enterprise Management Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS) module. This solution is based on SAP-BW technology and is not in-scope for current phase.

3.11.1. SAP R/3 modules deployed for Annual Budgeting


For P&L items: Budgeting on Sales related items (Quantity/ Revenue per customer/ product level) will be performed in SAP COPA Planning Budgeting on Cost of Sales (Product related costs) will be performed in SAP COPC (using Standard Cost Estimate). The information will then pass to COPA Planning in terms of Characteristics/ Value Field combinations Budgeting on Cost of Sales (Landed costs) will be performed in SAP COPA Planning (using Characteristics and Value Fields) Departmental Costs - Selling expenses (including Freight/ Commission per customer/ product level) will be first performed in SAP COPA Planning. The planned value is then rolled up to Company-Code level in COPA report. Users extract the rolled-up information and update the Cost Centre budget on Sales and Marketing Dept. In COPA Planning, there is function on planning a particular item based on predefined percentage of another planning item, e.g. Commission = 10% of Gross Sales. However, more sophisticated formula calculation need to be performed offline. Departmental Costs (All other budget items Overheads) will be performed in SAP COOM Planning. The Planning dimension will be by P&L account/ Cost Centres. After the CO-OM planning has been completed and approved, value are allocated to COPA Planning by Assessment method in SAP. This way, the COPA planning module will contains all the budgeting data in CO-OM planning. For B/S Items: Balance Sheet Items (Consolidated basis) will be performed in Enterprise Controlling Consolidation (EC-CS) module directly. A specific Plan Version will be defined in ECCS for the Budgeting purpose. Plan versus Actual analysis on Consolidated Balance Sheet will be performed in EC-CS as well.

3.11.2. Plan Version


The definition of a version applies to the whole Controlling area. Each version in SAP denotes a complete set of cost view. They have 2 main groups, Actual Version and Plan Version. All Actual Costs are captured and stored in Version 0, the default version. Also, Version 0 can capture Plan Costs. All other versions are separate views used for Planning and capturing planned costs only. Each Plan Version in SAP is set up for different business meaning For different purposes (e.g. Sales Forecasting and Annual budgeting will be 2 different groups of Plan Versions in SAP Form part of the Budgeting process tool to store value updated/ confirmed by different parties (e.g. Plan Version for individual reporting unit; Plan Version after Corporate Review) Denote the value on different time span (e.g. Plan Version: First quarter; Plan Version: Second Qtr., etc.) The followings are the Plan Versions to be configured for AAA: Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 116 of 172

Note: It is advised that the Version 0 is always copied with the most updated information for the purpose of Plan vs. Actual Comparison. Since this acts the master version, all AAA companies can always refer to value of this version when performing the necessary analysis (e.g. measurement on departmental/ reporting unit performance). This avoids the unnecessary confusion that might have caused by too many Plan Versions used in the system. In terms of reporting capability, though we suggest reporting should mainly refer to Version 0 (which contains both Actual and Plan values), SAP enables users to choose specific Plan Version upon report selection screen, if necessary.

Plan Version is a configuration setting of CO module in SAP. During the Design Phase, the team will configure the Plan Version according to the current need of AAA. Future creation/ freezing of Plan Versions are also possible after system goes live. It is not a usual practice to reuse the Plan Version, since SAP provide max. 999 different versions. Take an example, say Sales Forecast information will be kept monthly, the no. of Plan Versions will be 12. The values are updated to same Monthly Plan Version the next year. If information per a particular time frame is needed, Report Extract is recommended to use instead of creation of new Plan Version.

3.11.3. Planning Layout


This is part of the exercise in the Detail Design Phase to define the SAP Planning Layout for different Budgeting process for AAA. Standard SAP offers different planning input options: SAP screen planning layout input Tradition SAP screen input It provides the wide range of standard SAP Planning function online for users. Real-time data validation performed online, which enable users to rectify input errors upon planning data input. SAP Embedded Excel MS Excel template is embedded into SAP Graphic User Interface (GUI). Major SAP function can be used. Users can have the function of Excel during planning as well. Data are saved directly into SAP database upon completion. MS Excel upload MS Excel used as an offline tool. This enable decentralised Budgeting for AAA. Users can input budget data off SAP system and upload into SAP upon completion. Internet enabled Planning This is delivered standard by SAP. However, since Internet server is not adopted in this phase of SAP implementation, Internet Planning is not an available option for AAA at the moment. The full review of the exact planning layout is to-be performed in detail design phase. The review exercise will be lead by respective functional area designer and coordinate with users. SAP Planning modules involved: CO-OM (Controlling Overhead Cost Controlling) CO-PC (Controlling Product Costing) CO-PA (Controlling Profitability Analysis)

Figure 3.12a Cash Management Process

SAP R/3 Cash Management offers the following tools, designed to make cash flows clear: The cash position, which illustrates short term movements in the bank accounts The liquidity forecast, which illustrates medium-term movements in subledger accounts The cash position shows how your bank accounts will move in the next few days. Meanwhile, the liquidity forecast illustrates liquidity changes in the subledger accounts. Functions are also supported which you can use to obtain relevant information on forecast payment flows. This information appears in the form of memo records in the cash position, or as planned items in the liquidity forecast.

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

3.12.1. Common information and differences between Cash Position and Liquidity Forecast
Common: Both reports contain levels. These supply high-quality information on the commercial reasons for a movement in an account - that is, they explain how the account opening and closing balances came about. For example, levels give information on whether a balance in a bank account is the result of a bank posting or of a memo record entered manually. They can also be classified according to how secure the receipt is - for example, by confirmed or unconfirmed memo record. Differences: In the cash position, accounts (bank and bank clearing accounts) supply information on the current balance. The liquidity forecast contains groups instead of accounts. Vendors and customers are assigned to a planning group by means of an entry in the master records. Each group reflects certain features, procedures, or risks.

3.12.2. Memo Records


Memo records will be used by AAA to include additional liquidity information (e.g. anticipated incoming and outgoing payments) in short-term planning which does not trigger actual bank transactions, AR/AP subledger postings Cash management memo records can be created as individual entries or using fast entry. The entry is split into three parts: 1. Planning data (date, account - cash management account name, expiration date if required) 2. Amount data (including currency, exchange rate) 3. Additional information (assignment, characteristics, and so on) - The planning type controls the entry level, screen, and expiration - The expiration date shows how long the payment advice is included in planning - Characteristics (free text) can also be input by users for identification of records quickly The planning type is a unique classification characteristic, entered in all manual memo records. It controls the level to which a memo record is sent. For exchange rate on the memo record, system uses the average rate by standard design Minus sign is needed for outgoing payments advices

List of Planning Type (Difference type of Memo Records) is to be defined during Detail Design Phase of the Project by Finance users.

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

3.12.3. Cash Position


The cash position is the result of the entry, by value date, of all the payments in a given, short time horizon. There are three sources of data for the cash position:

FI postings to cash-management-relevant G/L accounts Memo records entered manually Cash flows from business transactions managed with the Treasury Management application component. This type of transactions is not applicable under the current design phase, since SAP Treasury modules like Loan Management, Market Risk Management are not in-scope for Release One of the SAP Implementation in AAA

Cash Management Groupings for Cash Position


After the bank statements are posted in FI, the account transactions can be displayed in the cash position. The balances in the bank accounts, which you can display using the cash position, form the basis for planning decisions. Cash Management Groupings are needed to maintain for the display of Cash Position report. Detail requirements are to-be confirmed by users.

Bank Accounts set up in SAP (FI-GL and Cash Management)


Bank accounting is to provide a bank (current) account for each currency and, in each case, a clearing account, on a lower level and per processing type. Clearing accounts are defined to meet specific business needs. Objectives of setting up different bank clearing account (for a physical bank account at bank): Accounts can be reconciled at any time Foreign currency and local currency are managed in parallel Can be managed by value date Line item analysis possible Items posted automatically using automatic payment transactions Automatic breakdown using electronic banking transactions Only transactions which are, according to the bank statement, active are posted in the bank main (current) accounts.

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 122 of 172

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

One general ledger account is needed to set up for each active account you have at the bank, by currency if applicable. In addition, bank clearing accounts are needed for each bank main account, also by currency if applicable. In this connection, we recommend the following grouping as example: 10020010 Bank 1 (current account - domestic - currency USD) 10020011 Bank 1 (outgoing checks) 10020012 Bank 1 (outgoing bank transfers, domestic) 10020013 Bank 1 (outgoing bank transfers, foreign) 10020014 Bank 1 (incoming checks) 10020015 Bank 1 (customer cash receipts) Note: The exact differentiation is to be confirmed by users as part of the Chart of Accounts and Cash Management design exercise. All bank (current) accounts should be assigned to a unique planning level, where bank statements and, with them, the actual bank balance are represented. For example, 10020010 Bank 1 (current account - domestic - currency USD): F0 level All levels starts with F notify this is a bank main account in Cash Management module On the other hand, bank clearing accounts should be maintained on an open item basis. They can, for example, be sorted by local currency amount. Depending on the type of bank clearing account, a specific planning level is then assigned - for example, for: 10020012 Bank 1 (outgoing bank transfer, domestic): B2 level 10020015 Bank 1 (customer cash receipts): a B9 level The field Planning Level is stored in the Company Code Specific segment of the GL Master data for all Bank current accounts. The assignment is critical during the GL master creation. Otherwise, no information from bank postings will be gathered by Cash Management module.

Processing sequence on the Bank related transaction (from GL to Cash Management)


1. Payment transactions: are posted against the clearing accounts using the payment program. 2. Bank statements: balance the clearing entries against the bank account. 3. Cash Management: displays or monitors postings, with the help of various groupings.

Currency Display in Cash Position Report


Specific currency can be specified in the Display field. You can use the currency fields to display the foreign exchange risk. On the one hand, you can show the cash position split by currency. You can also display the extent of your currency exposure from the cash position. The average rate is usually used for the translation from planning currency to display currency. If you want to use a different rate for the translation, make the appropriate specification in the rate type field.

3.12.4. Liquidity Forecast


The cash management module is integrated with both MM and SD modules such that the commitment information can be directly obtained through these modules. Liquidity Forecast enables AAA (both subsidiarys Accounting Dept or Corporate) obtain medium to long term commitment and subledger information. All the Purchase order and sales order information will be directly extracted and place into the liquidity forecast for analysis. The value date for both purchase orders and sales orders will be based on the delivery date added to the payment term. All the vendors and customers can be categorized to different groupings to enhance their visibility in the liquidity forecast position. Memo records are used to supplement any additional information which cannot directly obtained from other modules. The following are examples of sources of planning information for the liquidity forecast:

Receivables and commitments as expected incoming/ outgoing payments (from MM/ SD) Planned wage and salary payments (Memo Records from TR-CM)

Cash Management Groupings for Liquidity Forecast


As with the cash position, Cash Management Groupings are set up for the liquidity forecast structure. The grouping term is used to combine particular levels and planning groups for display purposes.

Integration with SD/MM/AR/AP modules


Assignment of Planning group in the master record of Customers/ Vendors (CompanyCode Specific segment) is required in order for the system to transfer data between the customer/vendor accounts and the liquidity forecast.

3.12.5. Integration with Special GL transactions (FI-GL)


Line items resulting from special transactions are transferred to a special level. Use Planning Levels that begin with "F" as these are FI postings. SAP suggests using the special G/L indicator as the second letter: Example: FF for down payment requests/ FC for LC payments.

3.12.6. Electronic Bank Reconciliation


The electronic bank statement is used to automatically assign incoming and outgoing payments to house bank accounts when they relate to items already posted in the system to customer/vendor/clearing accounts and, where appropriate, the clearing of them. Each uploaded electronic bank statement will be assigned with a unique no. in SAP and can be printed retrospectively.

Steps in Electronic Bank Reconciliation:


1. Electronic Bank Statement file (in SWIFT MT940 format) is extracted from HSBC Hexagon 2. Data (SWIFT MT940 for HSBC Hexagon) is imported into a temporary dataset in SAP 3. Batch input sessions are generated (per bank statement: one session for G/L Accounting and one for Subledgers- AR/ AP). Bank accounting and subledger accounting batch session can be executed separately or jointly 4. Posting rules and account determination are defined in TR-CM customization 5. As an electronic bank statement is being imported, the system identifies the transactions in it and determines how they are posted. 6. The note-to-payee fields in the electronic bank statement contain various information relevant to open item clearing. Note to payee fields can be interpreted by document number or reference document number for the clearing transaction (example: standard algorithm). If the algorithms we deliver are not sufficient, it is possible to program a user exit tailored to your business (e.g. change the posting rule; influence account determination by means of account modification). 7. Post-processing for posting proposals(line items) which cannot be cleared Note: Electronic Bank Statement format SWIFT MT940 is compactable with SAP TR-CM. Standard algorithm for clearing documents is available in the predefined form in SAP. Customisation, as stated in point 6 above, will be needed to cope with AAA specific requirements on Bank Reconciliation. The review task will be performed on the Detail

Design Phase, detail of which will be incorporated into the respective customisation functional specifications.

3.12.7. Cash Concentration


Cash concentration involves moving the balances from various bank accounts to one target account, keeping defined minimum balances in the source accounts. The system creates a concentration proposal, based on the grouping. The proposal contains the balance for the end of the day, and the planning result - that is, the likely account transfers. Correction can be made on the concentration proposal at any stage in the process. The result is printed and takes the form of payment orders to the banks. The grouping contains only those costs that are to be included in cash concentration. You can define different groupings in cases where the concentration procedure is different. AAA Corporate can perform the Cash Concentration function on balances for a number of company codes at the same time. A Company Code Worklist can be created to combine a number of company codes for the execution.

Procedure for Cash Concentration function:


Enter the company code or, if you are concentrating cash for more than one company code, the worklist. In the Planned to field , enter the planning date up to which you want to concentrate balances. Enter a grouping term in the Grouping field, thereby selecting particular accounts for concentration. Example: BANK-ACT. Enter the cash management name for the account where the amounts are to be concentrated. Enter the target company code If required, use the Minimum Balance field to stipulate the minimum balance an account must have before it is selected for cash concentration. In the Planning Type field, enter a planning type assigned to cash concentration. The plan amount is the total of the cash management end balances, less any defined minimum balances applicable. Once you have processed the concentration proposal, you can create two payment advices for each payment order. One advice is for the sender account and one is for the receiver.

3.12.8. Lockbox in Cash Management


In SAP Cash Management, Lockbox function is available for electronic incoming payments processing for US/ Canada. From the business requirement of AAA, it is confirmed during the FICO Prototype that customer payments will be applied manually although AAA Canada has a lockbox already in place. This is due to the small volume of data seems not beneficial to use Electronic processing at the moment. AAA US plans to use a lockbox to collect customer payments in the future. Therefore, there will be no customisation in enabling the Lockbox interface between SAP and the bank for the Lockbox function upon Release 1 of the SAP implementation.

3.13.1. Consolidation Units


A consolidation unit is the smallest unit element in a corporate group structure that can be used as a basis of complete consolidation. With integration with the FI general ledger, a consolidation unit will linked to the company codes by a one-to-one basis in FI. Therefore the whole structure of the consolidation units should be inline with the company and the coding used for the consolidation units will be the same as the company codes in FI in AAA for easy identification. The keys information that will be included in each consolidation unit is: Description (Name) Local currency Address and other correspondence related information Data collection definition (i.e. real-time updated from FI in AAA)

In AAA, all the consolidation units being setup into the to-be system are actual legal entities (with the exception of CC Latin America and Keystone Sales Graphics). In the as-is system, AAA has a dummy unit of Elimination Company that is used for elimination and adjustment postings. However, in SAP R/3, all such postings could be done directly into the consolidation ledger levels without affecting the local general ledgers of each reporting units. However, a

dummy consolidation unit will be established to hold historical balances that exist in the Elim company. This consolidation unit will be dormant; no future postings will be applied. All future Elim company postings will be done through SAPs consolidation procedures and manual adjustments will be posted in the Consolidation Ledger.

3.13.3. Consolidation Chart of Accounts and Financial Statement Items


A consolidation chart of accounts consists of a set of financial statement items which correspond to the G/L accounts in the consolidated book. The operating chart of accounts in FI general ledger has to be assigned to the consolidation chart of accounts to ensure integration between FI and Consolidation. Since a single operating chart of accounts will be used for the whole AAA Group, there will also be only one consolidation chart of accounts in AAA Group. The proposed consolidation chart of account name is: Cons. chart of accounts code Descriptions AAA Consolidation Chart of Accounts

CONC

Financial statement items are actually the G/L accounts in consolidation. Each of the G/L accounts in the operating chart of accounts must be assigned to a corresponding group of account to ensure full integration between FI and EC (Enterprise Controlling). When consolidation is active, users are forced to assign a group of account every time when they want to create a new G/L account. This is to enforce data consistency and integrity between the operating COA and the group (Consolidation) COA, i.e. to ensure that all the operating G/L accounts are assigned to group accounts) The FS item code (group account) can be a maximum of 6-digit code. The coding logic for the FS items will follow the same logic of the G/L account coding in the FI general ledger and the details of the coding will be determined later.

3.13.4. Design Highlights


Keys design concept highlights of the Consolidation system in AAA are as follows : Direct roll up from local ledgers of different reporting units

Conceptual_Design_of_FICOFICO Conceptual Design Document v1.1 Printed on: 2/3/20127/10/2004 11:09 AM12:47 PMPage 130 of 172

Global SAP Implementation Program Phase One Conceptual Design Document Finance & Controlling

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

Ability to support consolidation of companies with different currencies Group currency amount could be directly extract from local general ledger with flexibility to revaluate with specific exchange rates for selected FS items in consolidation Automatic eliminations of most intercompany transactions and consolidation of investment Support direct adjustment postings into consolidation ledger without affecting the local general ledger of each reporting unit Supports data upload for planned versions of budgeting

3.13.5. Data Collection Process Generally speaking, data collection process in Consolidation is the process for collection of financial data reported by individual consolidation units. This function can be done within a single tool called Data Monitor. Retained Earning Carried Forward
This step is generally the first step of the consolidation procedure in your every month end processing. This task could be done automatically in Data Monitor. The system will carry forward the net P&L amount into the retained earning account in the consolidated book for each reporting units. Both the local and USD currency will be stored.

The process could be done as a single task for all reporting units or could be done separately for each individual units

Currency Translation
Within AAA Group, each of the reporting units will have their own local ledger currencies. For example in CCHK, the ledger currency is HKD while in CCUK will be in GBP. For the company codes that are not using USD as the local currency, the parallel ledger currency will be activated in the FI general ledger such that USD will also be stored as an additional ledger currency in the local books of the reporting units. In order words, ledger balances in USD will be available in all company codes local books. With the help of the integration with FI, all the USD amount local general ledger balances will be automatically roll-up into the consolidation ledger. The USD amount in the FI general ledger is usually being converted from other transaction currency using an average monthly company rates. For some specific financial statement items in Consolidation, the transaction may have to be done by specific exchange rates. This procedure is also a standard feature in EC-CS. In the standard system, you could choose the following rates for your specific translation needs: Rate type Description

The revaluation posting could be done in the Data Monitor as well and the general posting in the consolidation ledger will be: Dr./Cr. The balance sheet items being revaluated Cr./Dr. Exchange gain or loss Realized and unrealized gains and losses will be separated by using two separating G/L accounts.

3.13.6. Consolidation Process Consolidation process refers to all possible elimination and adjustment postings done in the consolidation to come up with the consolidated financial statements. The standard SAP system offers automatic eliminations to most of the intercompany transactions. In AAA, the automatic eliminations to be done by the system are elimination of intercompany A/R and A/P and consolidation of investment. Whenever, automatic postings are not available, manual entries are required to be posted into the consolidation ledger. You can do all the consolidation postings in a single tool called Consolidation Monitor. Eliminations will be done in USD currency. Elimination of Intercompany A/R and A/P
With the help of a parameter called Trading Partner, the elimination of intercompany A/R and A/P is a feature of automatic elimination in consolidation. In AAA Group, intercompany transactions are being posted to intercompany vendor and customer master record. A trading partner is a key which is defined to represent each company codes within the AAA Group. The trading partners will be assigned to all intercompany vendors and customers master records and hence all the transactions associated with the intercompany vendors and customers will store the trading partners. These also include all P&L item postings associated with the A/R and A/P items. The consolidation will do an automatic pair up of the entries by the trading partners and do the elimination posting accordingly. The following figure shows how the elimination is done :

Elimination of Intercompany Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory


This component enables you to eliminate profit and loss resulting from inventory transfers between subsidiaries in your corporate group. However, currently the materials data that is relevant for the elimination cannot be accessed by means of integration with the logistics and the product costing modules. The overall mechanism of the elimination could be summarized as follows: You define a pair of supplier and purchaser relationship between two reporting units within the group by means of manual data entry done in Data Monitor On the purchaser side, you have to get the ending inventory amount that is relevant to elimination of the period outside the system and then manually entered the figure in Data Monitor On the supplier side, you have to manually enter the mark-up percentages of different product groups in Data Monitor.

Prepared by: Finance Design Team Approved by: XXXXXXX

After entering the required data, elimination posting could be done in the Consolidation Monitor. It is confirmed that a customized report will be developed to provide the information of transferred ending inventory values that the relevant mark up amounts in each branches such that users could entered the relevant data for elimination run or directly post an manual elimination document.

Consolidation of Investment
The major features of consolidation of investment in SAP include: Automatic generation of elimination postings of investment in subsidiary for first consolidation Calculation and posting of minority interest for subsidiaries that are not wholly owned Automatic postings for subsequent change in investment for join venture Amortization of goodwill In AAA Group, all the company units are wholly owned by the corporate. Therefore the major function of consolidation of investment in AAA will be the elimination of subsidiary investments. Highlights of this function are listed below: The relevant information for elimination including the percentage of ownership, investment amount paid by the investor, the book value of the investee at the time of acquisition have to be entered manually into the system in Data Monitor Once the data is entered, it will be stored for future postings and no further entry is needed. The elimination posting will be automatically generated by executing the posting run in Consolidation Monitor

Manual Adjustment Posting


Manual journal posting into consolidation is possible in SAP Consolidation system. Such entries may be required in the following scenarios: Manual adjustment of reported financial data. This is used to adjust the amount roll up from the FI general ledger. However, instead of doing this, the best way is to do the adjustment in the relevant local general ledger and roll up the adjustment into the consolidated book Manual elimination posting that cannot be automatically generated by the system Adjustment entries that are done in the corporate consolidated level

The concept of the manual posting is exactly the same as the voucher posting in the general ledger. The adjustment entries have to be posted to a certain posting period of the consolidated ledger and therefore the adjustment is only valid to the period being adjusted only. If similar or even the same adjustments has to be done in the next period, users have to post a separate voucher in the next period. All the manual adjustment postings done directly into the consolidation ledger will not have effect on the local general ledger of each reporting units in FI.

Consolidated Financial Statements


The consolidated financial statements are the final products of the whole consolidation procedure. However in standard SAP R/3 system, there is no pre-defined format of consolidated balance sheet and income statement because the format required may be varied according to different requirements. The consolidated financial statements are usually defined and customized by report painter or report writer. Both tools are standard user-friendly reporting development tools in both FI and CO modules. The detailed requirements and layouts of the consolidated financial statements will be defined and confirmed later.
