Setting Up Cash Flow Reporting

Use

There is some preparatory work you need to do in your system before you can use Cash Flow Reporting ( CFR ).

Procedure

  1. First, activate and configure the new general ledger (G/L) accounting with document splitting. To do this, proceed as follows:

    1. Assign an advanced value of any other splitting characteristic (such as FUND) to the existing constant for nonassigned processes (0PACC) by accessing Customizing and choosing Start of the navigation path Financial Accounting (New) Next navigation step General Ledger Accounting (New) Next navigation step Business Transactions Next navigation step Document Splitting Next navigation step Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes. End of the navigation path

    2. Still in Customizing, assign the advanced revenue/expense account (RE_ACCOUNT) to the constant 0PACC using the Customizing activity Start of the navigation path Public Sector Management Next navigation step --> Fund Accounting Next navigation step General Ledger Accounting (New) Next navigation step Cash -Basis Accounting and Cash Flow Reporting Next navigation step Cash Flow Reporting Next navigation step Edit Constant for Nonassigned Processes. End of the navigation path

  2. CFR requires that you use General Ledger (G/L) totals table PSGLFLEXT, which contains the fields RE_ACCOUNT and RE_BUKRS needed for CFR . To ensure that RE_ACCOUNT and RE_BUKRS are updated to this new totals table in G/L accounting, assign the scenario PSM_CL to your chosen ledger for CFR using the Customizing activity Financial Accounting (New) --> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) --> Ledgers --> Ledger --> Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers .

  3. ActivateCFRin Customizing by choosing Start of the navigation path Public Sector Management Next navigation step Fund Accounting Next navigation step General Ledger Accounting (New) Next navigation step Cash-Basis Accounting and Cash Flow Reporting Next navigation step Cash Flow Reporting --> Activate Cash Flow Reporting End of the navigation path .

  4. Assign Standard G/L Account

    When CFR is active, account assignment object RE_ACCOUNT is filled with the content of the G/L account to be posted to. Exceptions to this are the reconciliation accounts and cash transaction accounts.

    In this activity, you can define whether special processes for RE_ACCOUNT are only updated in aggregated form in the G/L.

  5. Activate Tax Accounts Transfer

    In this activity you define that account assignment object revenue/expense account (RE_ACCOUNT) is filled with the relevant tax account instead of the causing expense/revenue account with the update of the tax items in the G/L.

    • If you opt for the tax line split tax line based on RE_ACCOUNT, it is not possible to differentiate between the tax amount and real expense/revenue amount possible in CFR.

    • If you opt for the transfer of tax account in RE_ACCOUNT, it is possible to differentiate between the tax amount and real expense/revenue amount in CFR.

  6. Edit Constant for Nonassigned Processes

    In this activity you define a standard account for the expense and/or revenue account in CFR . The system uses the standard account for nonassigned processes.

  7. Assign Standard G/L Account for HCM Processes

    In this activity, you define a G/L account for each company code that is used by default in the cash ledger or CFR as the expense/revenue account (RE_ACCOUNT) for HCM processes.

The Customizing steps all have online documentation including detailed instructions on what you must do.

Result

CFR is now active, configured, and available for use. Use the links below to access documentation on different ways of using CFR .
