Functional Area as Balancing Entity

You can define the functional area as a document splitting characteristic for General Ledger (G/L) accounting, enabling you to create balance sheets by functional area.

Allocations Based on Average Daily Balances (ADBs)

The ADB function is available in an environment where the new G/L accounting with its document split feature is active. It uses defined criteria to allocate revenues and expenses from the pool assignment to individual assignments.

Partial Payment by G/L Account Assignment

You can use this function to partially pay your open liabilities for each fund or other G/L account assignment. This means that, for each single invoice, the amount paid is spread over all the funds related to the expense line for which the payment is carried out.

Partner Fund as Entry Field in FI Transactions

Partner fund and partner grant are included as entry fields (table control) in the FI transactions FB50, FB60, and FB70. They are also included in the field status and can be set up there. You can maintain them as hidden, optional, or mandatory.

The advantage of this new feature is that you can trace object and partner object information for the fund and grant account assignments fund and grant in FI line items.

FM Update by Depreciation Run Under Modified Accrual

With this feature, you can distinguish between full accrual and modified accrual accounting in Asset Accounting. Reporting on a full and modified accrual basis for assets is available and FI remains reconciled with Funds Management (FM) for both full and modified accrual.

Asset Migration in Fund Accounting

This feature supports the implementation of Fund Accounting for Asset Management when you implement the new G/L accounting at the same time.

The central step is the asset mass transfer, whereby the fund information is added to asset master records along with the balance carryforward posting from asset accounting per balancing unit. This creates the opening balance for asset values per fund

The information is based on new G/L migration

Enhancement to Integration Between Controlling (CO) and FM

Several new CO reports allow selection by fund, grant, and functional area. A drilldown according to those entities is offered within the reports.

It is now possible to determine specific checking options depending on the CO Planning Transaction in a Business Add-In (BAdI). This enhances the checking options by planning version already available and allows a more specific determination by CO Business Transaction.

The line item extractor for new G/L accounting extract documents from the leading ledger in new G/L accounting for SAP NetWeaver BI reporting (0FI_GL_14) is now enhanced for the following public sector fields:

New Data Providers in Reconciliation Tool
