At the company-code level, you define which PDF output forms are to be used in conjunction with which programs. These settings enable you to generate the forms in the format required in Kuwait. Specify the program and then assign the PDF form object as required. SAP delivers the form objects listed below. You can use these or create your own.

  • Program: Fixed Asset Statement (RPFIKW_AA_DEPR)

    Form Object: FIAAKW_FORM

  • Program: Stock Statements at Closing Inventory (RPFIKW_STOCK)

    Form Object: FISTOCK_FORM

  • Program: Statements of Subcontractor Payments (RPFIKW_SUBST)

    Form Object: FISUBST_FORM

  • Program: Income Tax Declarations (RPFIKW_TAXDECL)

    Form Object: FITDKW_FORM

  • Program: Withholding Tax Settlements (RPFIKW_WITH)

    Form Object: FIWTKW_FORM

Language determines the language of the form and PDF Form Version determines the alignment and layout. Note that the language you select should correspond with the form version, as in this example:

  • Language: AR

    PDF Form Version: 02

  • Language: EN

    PDF Form Version: 01

  • Language: AR

    PDF Form Version: 02

Note Note

So that the system can create the required output format of the financial statements, you additionally need to set up the form structure in the Customizing activity Define Form Structure for Financial Statements after you have defined the PDF output and assigned it to the reports.

End of the note.

Start of the navigation path Financial Accounting (New) Next navigation step General Ledger Accounting (New) Next navigation step Periodic Processing Next navigation step Report Next navigation step Statutory Reporting: Kuwait Next navigation step Financial Statements Next navigation step Define Form Structure for Financial Statements End of the navigation path or transaction SM34, VC_FITDKW_FSC

You set up the form structure of the financial statements for use with the financial statement reports in accordance with the form that is legally required in Kuwait. SAP delivers a sample form structure that you can change if required. You can vary the level of detail of your financial statements, affecting how statement items are assigned to the lines in the form structure, as follows:

  • When you create a flat, one-level financial statement version that contains statement items on the same level and no cumulated summary nodes are defined, you need to define the cumulative lines in this activity (on the Assign FSV Nodes screen) by aggregating the relevant statement items and selecting the proper debit/credit sign.

  • When you create a hierarchical (multi-level) financial statement version that includes cumulative lines, in this activity (on the Assign FSV Nodes screen) you can create one-to-one line assignments to set up a form structure line.

To set up the form structure, proceed as follows:

  1. On the Form Structure screen, create a key and a description that uniquely identifies the form structure, and assign a financial statement version (FSV) to it.

  2. Select the row and double-click Define Lines.

  3. On the Define Lines screen, set up the structure of the financial statement as follows:

    1. Create line entries in the activity that correspond to the rows in the financial statement form and enter the name of each statement item.

    2. Assign the sequential number to the line under which the statement item appears in the financial statement.

    3. Specify the section of the financial statement to which the statement item belongs, for example, Assets, Liabilities and Equity, or Profit and Loss.

    4. Specify the type of the line.

      You can enter comment lines that do not contain any value. The values of the other lines come from the G/L accounts according to your Customizing settings where you assigned the G/L accounts to the statement items.

    5. Specify the method by which the system adjusts the line item amount by selecting the relevant sign in the Sign field.

      You do not need to select a sign for lines with the type Comment.

  4. Select the row and double-click Assign FSV Nodes.

  5. On the Assign FSV Nodes screen, assign all the financial statement items, whose cumulated value will be the result value, to the lines you have created in step 2. You can assign items only to line type FSV Node Value entries.

Note Note

The following lines are used for internal calculations and cannot be modified or removed: 45, 60, 70, 80, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170.
