3.12 /GSINS/INS_LOC_02, Brazil Insurance Localization (New)

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Insurance (INSURANCE
606), the business function, Insurance, Localization of Withholding Tax and Payments for Brazil
(/GSINS/INS_LOC_02), is available. With this business function, you can meet legal and general
business requirements in the area of Insurance for Brazil.
In Brazil, it is required that the Insurance company should deduct withholding tax before making
insurance payments. Using this functionality you can calculate withholding tax for both individuals and
companies and make payments. You can also process bank transaction details for these payments.
Using this functionality you can:
- Calculate the following type of taxes:
- Instituto Nacional da Seguridade Social (INSS)
- Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte (IRRF)
- Programa de integração social (PIS), Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social
(COFINS) and Contribuição Social sobre o Lucro Líquido (CSLL)
- Imposto Sobre Serviços (ISS)
- Accumulate tax and calculate and report tax on monthly basis
As per Brazil tax laws you can accumulate withholding tax amount for PIS, COFIN, CIS for a
period. This means that for PIS, COFIN, CIS withholding tax calculation, you can define the
minimum base amount for combination of a withholding tax code and supplement tax code. The
system calculates withholding tax only if the total base amount in a given period (monthly) exceeds
the minimum base amount for a combination of main tax code and supplement tax code.
Accumulation is activated at business partner level for a combination of a withholding tax code and
withholding supplement tax code. Accumulation has a monthly validity and is calculated only in
local currency.
For accumulation you need to maintain withholding tax code, withholding supplement tax code,
correction tax code and catch up tax code. You do this in Customizing for SAP Insurance, under
Collections/Disbursements -> Basic Functions -> Withholding Tax -> Define Allowed
Entries for Withholding Tax Supplements
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 12
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
Note
In this Customizing you need to maintain separate entries for correction tax code and catch up tax
code.
- Maintain entry for correction code under the same withholding tax code with the function as
Reduction of Withholding Tax with same rate and same time of posting.
- Maintain entry for catch up tax code under the same withholding tax code with the function
as Catch Up of Withholding Tax with same rate and same time of posting.
- Maintain business partner additional details

For Brazil the standard business partner screen has been enhanced to capture Brazil specific details
required for withholding tax calculation such as exemption details and dependent details.
To maintain Business Partner additional details, on SAP Easy Access screen, choose Insurance
-> Collections/Disbursements -> Business partner -> Country Specific for Brazil-> Brazil
->Maintain Business Partner Additional Details
You can define authorization objects to control the authorizations for maintaining business partner
data. For Brazil, new authorization object /GSINS/BPA has been created. You can use this
authorization object to define the authorization that a user has for business partner additional detail
screen.
You can provide the following authorizations to a user:

- BPDEP - Authorization to maintain dependants screen
- BPEXP - Authorization to maintain exemptions screen
- Make payments and process bank transaction details for these payments
The system provides the following reports for payments:
- FEBRABAN outgoing report
For Brazil, system supports payment files for Febraban Collection Bonds. An outgoing
payment file is sent from the company to the clearing house. This transmission between the
two parties contains several records such as File Header, Lot Header, A segment, B segment, J
segment (for Boleto payments), Lot Trailer, File Trailer.
For country-version Brazil, a new payment medium format BR_COLBON has been created.
The BR_COLBON payment medium format is used to create payment media for Brazil. The
bank services are different for the same payment process. Segment A and B are used for bank
transfer (credit on account, bank transfer to other banks, DOC or TED). Segment J is used for
Payment of collection documents.
The BR_COLBON format complies with the specification defined by the FEBRABAN
(Brazilian Federation of Banks Associations).
- FEBRABAN incoming report

An incoming payment file is received by the company from the bank. The incoming payment
file contains several different records such as File Header, Lot Header, A segment, B segment,
J segment (for Boleto payments), Lot Trailer, File Trailer.

- Convert electronic bank statements (incoming payment file) of format FEBRABAN into
MultiCash format and transfer the data to FI-CA for payment lot or return lot processing based
on the occurrence codes in the incoming file.
- Read the Febraban incoming file for the segment J, and check that the corresponding Boleto
was created
Customizing settings for Withholding Tax :
- Activate the company code to Contract accounts Receivables and Payables and activate the
withholding tax for the company code. You do this in the Customizing for SAP Insurance, under
Collections/Disbursements -> Organizational Units-> Set Up Company Codes for Contract

3.13.3 FIN_REP_SIMPL_4: ODP for Financial Analytics (New)
Use
As of enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606) the business function FIN, Operational
Data Provisioning for Financial Analytics (FIN_REP_SIMPL_4) is available. With this business
function, you can use real-time operational reporting to anlayze financial data in SAP ERP. After this
business function is implemented, customers can access and analyse their ERP data without the need for a
separate business warehouse (BW) system. This reduces the overall total cost of ownership (TCO) and
total cost of implementation (TCI) of their analytics solution. Customers who do have an existing BW
system can also use this business function to benefit from real-time analysis.
Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) ensures that the data is available in real-time as well as for data
replication. This provides unified data that can be later made available to a wide range of analytics
applications. SAP delivers a number of search and analytics models, operational data providers, transient
providers, queries and specially enabled data sources to facilitate this.

3.13.6 JVA_GL_INTEGRATION: Business Function JVA, Integration with New

General Ledger Accounting
Use
As of SAP ERP 6.0 enhancement package 6 the business function JVA, Integration with New General
Ledger Accounting is available. With this business function, you can carry out Joint Venture Accounting
(JVA) reporting and document recording in the General Ledger Accounting (New) (FI-GL (New))
component. You can now reconcile JVA and FI-GL (New) data for the venture, equity group and
recovery indicator fields. The Customizing for JVA is also improved to make it easier to integrate FI-GL
(New) and JVA. A number of fields are also added to the FI-GL (New) user interfaces (UI) to ensure that
users complete the mandatory attributes required for JVA and FI-GL (New) integration.

Financial accounting data in JVA is no longer derived directly from the entry view. Instead the system
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 21
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
derives this from the split document which is created by the New G/|L application during the splitting
process. The JVA entities venture, equity group and recovery indicator have been added to the FI-GL
(New) application component. JVA derivation logic, including venture balancing and CO/FI
reconciliation, is also added to the FI-GL (New) application component.
The following JVA transactions have been adapted so that they now post FI entries instead of JVA:
- Pre-Cutback Equity Change Management (GJEC)
- Prior period equity adjustment (GJ19)
- Farm in/out & Re-Determination (GJFARM_1)
- Suspense projects and equity groups (GJ17)
- Partner Suspense Clearance (GJ18)
The above changes to the reconciliation and derivation logic mean that the following month-end
processes are also changed:
- The Transfer automatic postings to CO (GJ90) transaction is no longer required because the
system now posts all the relevant information to both FI and CO. This includes realized exchange
rate differences (RXD).
- The Unrealized exchange differences (GJ91) transaction is no longer required. You can now use
the FI report Foreign Currency Valuation (New) (FC_FAGL_VALUATION) instead.
- The Valuation for foreign curr balances of G/L accounts at a posting period (GJINO)
transaction is no longer required. You can use the FI report Foreign Currency Valuation (New)
(FC_FAGL_VALUATION) instead.
- The intercompany reconciliation for CO documents in JVA is no longer required. You can use the
real-time reconciliation instead.
The following restrictions apply:
- Parallel Accounting
JVA does not support the ledger based approach to parallel accounting because only the leading
ledger is reflected in the JVA ledgers. If you do want to use parallel accounting with JVA, you need
to use separate accounts for each valuation (account approach).
- Cost Objects
JVA is based on special ledgers that are not subject to the same restrictions as GL ledgers. Thus in
JVA any combination of accounting data is possible. This is not the case in GL.
This is especially relevant for cost objects. If you want to post cost objects to an account in the
Financial Accounting (FI) component, the account must also be defined as a cost element. This
restriction does not apply in JVA. Cost objects in JVA are more detailed and complete than cost
objects in FI as a consequence. For this reason, you cannot reconcile JVA accounts with FI accounts
that are not defined as a cost element. This also means that certain JVA reports are still based on
JVA tables. For example, the working capital reports are still based on JVA tables.
Caution: This business function does not support the migration of data. You should create a new system
where you activate the business function and complete the necessary prerequisite customizing and
settings. After you have set up the new system, activated this business function and completed the
necessary settings in the new system, you can transfer the data from your old system to the new system.
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 22
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
After you activate the business function, you need to make the following settings to integrate this
business function with JVA, CO and FI.
Ledger Configuration
You need to complete the following Customizing activities to configure the ledger:
1. Define ledgers for general ledger accounting
You define the ledgers in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Ledgers -> Ledger ->
Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting.
You also define the leading ledger here. If the leading ledger has already been defined, you need to
define the JVA ledger as the non-leading ledger. If the leading ledger has not been defined, you can
define the JVA ledger as the leading ledger.
You also need to verify that the JVA and G/L integration is working correctly. The totals table needs
to include the JVA fields venture, equity group, and recovery indicator to facilitate the integration
between JVA and GL. To ensure that this is the case, you can enter JVGLFLEXT as the totals table.
Alternatively, you can use the FAGLFTEXT table as the totals table if it has been enhanced with the
three JVA fields. You can add the JVA fields in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under
Ledgers -> Fields -> Customer Fields -> Include Fields in Totals Table.
The JVA fields listed above are available as additional fields.
Note: You should only add these fields to an empty database table. If you add these fields to an
existing table that already contains data, you may cause an error. This can lead to inconsistencies in
the subsequent processing. As best practice, you should use the JVGLFLEX as the totals table.
However, if you want to define your own specific table, you should create a new table and add the
JVA fields to this table.
2. Define and activate the leading ledger
After you have defined the JVA ledger as the non-leading ledger, you need to activate the ledger.
You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Ledgers -> Ledger ->Define
and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers.
After you select the JVA ledger, you can assign different company codes to the ledger. You can also
select various currencies for each company code.
3. Assign JVA scenario to the ledger
You assign the JVA scenario to the ledger. You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting
(New) under Ledgers -> Ledger -> SIMG.VC_FAGL_LEDGER_DC>Assign Scenarios and
Customer Fields to Ledgers.
.
Parallel Accounting
You need to complete the following Customizing activities to enable parallel accounting:
4. Define ledger group
Ledger groups can be assigned to different accounting principles. To ensure that the relevant CO
tables are updated, you need to ensure that the JV ledger is assigned to the same accounting
principles as the leading ledger. The accounting principle assignment is based on the ledger group.
Thus, you need to define a ledger group which contains both the leading ledger and the JVA ledger.
Once you have done so, you can assign your specific accounting principles to this ledger group.
You define a new ledger group in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial
Accounting (Global Settings) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define Ledger Group.
5. Assign accounting principle to ledger groups
After you have defined the ledger group, you need to assign the accounting principle to the ledger

group. You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting
(Global Settings) -> Ledgers -> Parallel Accounting -> Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger
Groups
CO-FI Real-Time Integration
You need to complete the following Customizing activities to integrate this business function with CO-FI
real-time integration:
6. Define a variant for real-time integration
You also need to define a variant to facilitate the real-time integration between FI and CO and JVA.
You can create a new variant or you can adapt an existing one in Customizing for Financial
Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Real-Time
Integration of Controlling and Financial Accounting -> Define Variants for Real-Time Integration.
You need to select the Cross-Venture checkbox. This checkbox is delivered with this business
function and is available on the details screen. If you select it, all CO postings which are
cross-venture or cross-equity group trigger FI/CO reconciliation postings. This replaces the previous
reconciliation logic.
Document Splitting
This section describes only the basic settings which you need to complete to integrate this business
function with the document splitting function. The document splitting function needs to be configured
separately according to your specific business requirements. For more information, see Customizing for
General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting.
You need to complete the following Customizing activities to integrate this business function with the
document splitting function:
7. Define document splitting characteristics for general ledger
After you complete the ledger configuration described previously, you need to define the document
splitting characteristics for general ledger accounting in Customizing for Financial Accounting
(New) under General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting ->
Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting.
You need to define joint venture accounting as a document splitting characteristic for the general
ledger. You also need to select the Zero balance checkbox. This ensures that every document is
balanced by venture and or equity group. This setting also facilitates reporting on the venture and or
equity group level.
8. Define document splitting characteristics for CO
To ensure that all CO objects are updated during the document splitting, you need to define all the
relevant CO objects as splitting characteristics in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New)
under General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define
Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling.
Note: The document type is essential to the document splitting process. You need to make sure that
all document types are assigned to the correct process.
JVA Settings
9. You can complete the main JVA settings for this function in Customizing for Joint Venture
Accounting under Environment -> JVA Company Configuration -> General Ledger Integration.
Account Determination
10. You need to define an offset account for transaction JVA in table T030 to facilitate equity change
and equity adjustment. You can use transaction SE16 to add the following data to the table:
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 24
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- Chart of accounts (in the KTOPL field)

- Transaction JVA (in the KTOSL field)
- Debit account (in the KONTS field)
- Credit account (in the KONTH field)
Posting Rules
11. You use the transaction GJ49 to create the following posting rules for the existing functions Equity
Adjustment (EQAD) and FARM:
- G1 (FI reversals)
- G2 (FI reposting)
- G3 (FI offset line)
You only define the posting keys for each of these rules. You do not need to complete any of the
other settings.
Venture Settings
12. You use transaction GJVV to define a substitute cost object for each venture/equity group
Note: You must assign the cost object that is defined as a substitute cost object to a profit center or
segment to facilitate the derivation of the profit center or segment during posting.
Account Settings
13. The accounts used to record postings from exchange rate losses and gains need to be defined as cost
objects. This ensures correct and consistent document splitting in FI, CO, and JVA.
3.13.7 FI-GL-CU Foreign Currency Accounting
3.13.7.1 FI-GL-CU-MCA Multi Currency Accounting
3.13.7.1.1 BF_FIN_GL_MCA: Business Function Multi Currency Accounting

(new)
Use
As of SAP Enhancement Package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0, the Multi Currency Accounting business function
is available.
You use this business function to optimize management of foreign currencies in your system. You can
use Multi Currency Accounting (MCA) to manage all accounts in their original currency. You can make
valuations in central foreign currency (FX) position accounts rather than in individual balance sheet
accounts. The FX positions document the currency risk and show currency fluctuations separately from
operational profits and losses. You can use the following functions:
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 25
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- You can transform FX profits and losses into functional currency amounts, which are documented in
the corresponding FX positions.
- You can use one or more FX position(s) to control currency exposure in the different company
codes.
- You can valuate FX positions for all non-functional currencies.
The system creates the MCA balance sheet based on the balances in the original currency.
For information about BI Content for Multi Currency Accounting (MCA), see the following release
information in: SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver -> BI Content -> Financials -> Financial Accounting
-> General Ledger Accounting -> Multi Currency Accounting (MCA).
All of the listed functions are available with enhancement package 6:
MCA Run Administration
MCA run administration enables the centralized administration of MCA processes.
Document Entry
You can use the MCA Journal to enter MCA documents.
You can map currency swaps in the system and correct FX positions. You can park the documents and
process them as ledger-specific postings or ledger group-specific postings in the new general ledger.
You can also execute single reversals or mass reversals.
Periodic Tasks
The following periodic tasks are available:
Profit and Loss Processes
You can lock, close, and transform P&L accounts, both document-based and balance-based.
Valuation
You can make valuations of the position accounts and balance sheet accounts and execute a restatement.
Adjustment of Implicit FX Transactions
You can adjust the FI postings that represent implicit currency swaps by making MCA-specific postings
to FX positions.
Balance Carryforward
At the end of the fiscal year, you can carry forward the account balances of FX positions and initialize the
FX positions. All periodic tasks offer the option of aggregating the posting results, which means you can
display aggregated FX positions.
Reports
- MCA Balance Sheet
In the specific MCA Balance Sheet, the balances in the original currency form the basis for
translation into the desired display currency.
- MCA G/L Account Balances
In the specific MCA G/L account balances report, the balances in the original currency balances are
the basis for translation into the desired display currency.
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 26
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- MCA Validation Check

You use the MCA validation check to check whether the exchange rates are plausible, the postings
are complete, and that close and transformation of profit and loss accounts was successful. You can
also run a report to check whether all relevant Customizing settings are correct.
Exchange Rates
You can define the document types for which you want to use market data exchange rates rather than
classical currency translation. When entering FI documents, market data exchange rates enable you to use
exchange rates with a total of 28 places, of which a maximum of 14 can be decimal places.
Tools
You can define number ranges, define packages for parallel processing, and load external MCA-relevant
data into the system.
Note
Chart of Accounts
MCA uses the Multi-GAAP [BKMG] chart of accounts. You define the chart of accounts in the directory
of all charts of accounts (transaction OB13).

The Multi Currency Accounting business function has been added to the SAP Easy Access Menu. You
can find SAP Easy Access Menu for Multi Currency Accounting under:
SAP Easy Access Menu -> Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Periodic

3.13.8.3 FIN_GL_REORG_SEG: Business Function FI-GL (New), Segment

Reorganization (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606), the business function FI-GL
(New), Segment Reorganization is available. With this business function, you can reassign segments
in new General Ledger Accounting. It provides you with a single point of entry for auditable and
role-based process administration.
Management can trigger a change to the segment structure, which necessitates a change to the assignment
of segments to objects (such as profit centers, receivables, payables, and assets). Segment reorganization
allows you to split, merge, and change segments. This business function provides a standard procedure
for changing the affected objects and making corresponding adjustment postings.
You can use this function to change the segment assignment on a key date in the future. You can perform
segment reporting in new General Ledger Accounting before and after making changes to segment
assignments. The system reassigns objects affected by the reorganization and transfers their balances in
new General Ledger Accounting. The system logs all steps so you can verify them.
Roles
Segment reorganization supports the following users and their tasks:
- The reorganization manager is responsible for the entire reorganization project and does the
following:
- Creates the reorganization plan
- Generates the object lists (determines which objects are involved in the reorganization)
- Reassigns the objects
- Performs transfers based on specifications by object owners
- Completes the reorganization by closing the reorganization plan
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 30
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- The object owner assigns new segments to the objects in his or her area of responsibility.
The reorganization manager cannot make changes to these assignments during reassignment and
transfer postings.
Process Flow
1. The reorganization manager creates a reorganization plan and specifies the reorganization date.
2. The reorganization manager executes the profit center master data transaction and changes the profit
center for which the segment should be changed.
3. The reorganization manager starts the object list generation from the reorganization plan.
4. The reorganization manager assigns the objects to the object owner.
5. Before the reorganization period, the object owners process their object lists and specify which
segments need to be reassigned to which objects.
6. Once the previous period (including any assessments, settlements, and so on) has been closed, the
reorganization manager performs the reassignment from the reorganization plan.
7. From the reorganization plan, the reorganization manager starts the balance transfers for objects that
have been reassigned.
8. The system logs all affected objects, their old and new assignment, and the relevant object owner.
9. The reorganization manager sets the status of the reorganization plan to Completed.
For more information about the process flow of the reorganization, see the SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com > SAP ERP Central Component > Accounting > Financial Accounting (FI)
> General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New) > Segment Reorganization > Segment
Reorganization Process.
Object Reorganization
Object types that include a segment are reassigned consistently. This includes profit centers and all
dependent objects.
If the system cannot derive the segment from the profit center, or if the profit center is missing during
posting, the objects are considered in the reorganization and in allocation cycles.
Segment reorganization considers all balance sheet positions. For profit and loss (P&L) items, the system
assumes that the new segment posted in the new period is derived from the profit center. This is possible
since you can assign the segment for the new period in the profit center master data. P&L postings with
segments that are not derived from the profit center are not reorganized.
Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets
You can specify the segment account assignment object in the master data of fixed assets. You can use a
corresponding program to derive the segment for existing fixed assets.
In Asset Accounting, you can create various reports at the segment level.
In new General Ledger Accounting, you can create an aggregated report on changes in tangible assets. In
the report, the values are cumulated on the basis of the G/L accounts. The report is provided by the
personal object worklist.

The reorganization is available as a Web Dynpro application in the portal and an application in the SAP
NetWeaver Business Client.
To use the reorganization in the portal, you must install the business package BP for Reorganization
Management (BPERPREORG).
This business package does not contain predefined roles; it is only intended for reuse. To facilitate the
evaluation of workset contents by administrators, the worksets of this business package are embedded by
a delta link in workcenter pool role 1.5 of the Business Package for Common Parts.
You can define your own roles (such as reorganization manager and object owner). You can use the
worksets of the business package BP for Reorganization Management in your own roles as follows:
Workset Own Role
Overview of Reorganization Plans (Reorganization Plan Overview) Reorganization
Manager
Overview of Object Lists (Object List Overview) Object Owner
For more information about this business package, see the SAP Library at Cross-Application Functions
in SAP ERP > Roles > Business Packages (Portal Content) > Worksets for Reuse in Roles >
Business Package for Reorganization Management.
To use the reorganization in the SAP NetWeaver Business Client, there are similar roles:
- Role for the reorganization manager: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_MANAGER
- Role for the object owner: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_OBJLIST_OWNER
The report launchpad FAGL_REORG exists for the reorganization manager, both in the application in the
portal and in the SAP NetWeaver Business Client. It comprises all other programs that you need for the
reorganization.
You can make the basic settings for the reorganization in Customizing for General Ledger (New) under
Reorganization > Basic Settings.
Before you can start the reorganization, you must have already met certain organizational and system
prerequisites. For more information, see Customizing for General Ledger Accounting (New) under
Reorganization > Basic Settings > Prerequisites for a Reorganization.

Segment Reorganization (FIN_GL_REORG_SEG), you can adjust the segment in the profit center
master data after defining the segment changes in a segment reorganization. The segment assignment in
the profit center master data is now time-dependent.
The system includes the profit centers that are affected by the reorganization of segments in the
reorganization plan.
A profit center is entered in a reorganization plan when the following prerequisites are met:
- The analysis period of the profit center change (period start date) and the reorganization date of the
reorganization plan are the same.
- The reorganization plan contains the change from the old segment to the new segment.
- In Controlling, the period is still closed for all transactions.
You cannot delete an analysis period for a profit center that has been included in a reorganization plan
because dependent objects might have already been reorganized.
Segment changes in the profit center are effective after activation.

If you activate the business function FI-GL (New), Segment Reorganization
(FIN_GL_REORG_SEG), it affects when an analysis period with a changed segment is added. With the
______________________________________________________________

change, the above checks are run.

3.13.8.6 FIN_GL_REORG_SEG: Segment Reorganization of Open Items (New)
Use
Segment Reorganization (FIN_GL_REORG_SEG), you can automatically reorganize open items
following a reorganization of segments.
In new General Ledger Accounting, you can transfer the affected open item balances from the old
segment to the new segment. Since automatic document splitting information for the affected open items
is updated, the follow-on processes (such as clearing) take the new segments as their basis.
- Selects the following data:
- Open items (including down payment requests and down payments) that are affected by the
reorganization of segments
- Invoice-related items (such as residual items and partial payments)
- Changes account assignments
To ensure that the clearing processes are based on the new segments, the system applies the
document splitting information for the affected open items to the reassignment. The system updates
the document splitting information so follow-on processes apply the correct account assignments.
This does not cause changes to the documents.
- Performs transfer postings
In new General Ledger Accounting, the system transfers the open item balances.
The reorganization of open items is included in the reorganization of objects, which determines the
account assignment.
If the system cannot establish the relationship to the objects that determine the account assignment, or if
the open item was assigned by a profit center, you have to specify new segments for the open items.
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 35
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________

If you only activate the business function FIN_GL_REORG_1, the dataset in Cost Object Controlling
is not affected. You must use the function for reorganizing open items to change segments in document
splitting and to transfer open item balances from the old segment to the new segment in new General
Ledger Accounting.

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP APPL_605), business function New
General Ledger Accounting 3, you can perform actual/actual comparisons between different ledgers in
General Ledger Accounting as part of the financial statement analysis. You do this using the Ledger
Comparison report.
The report reads the actual data from the G/L account balances for a specified ledger and for a specified
analysis period and determines variances between the amounts. In the analysis, the report outputs the
values per G/L account in a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement.
To check whether the variances between the actual data are correct, you can navigate from the analysis to
the line item list.

You find the corresponding entry that has been added to the area menu under Accounting -> Financial
Accounting -> General Ledger -> Information System -> General Ledger Reports (New) ->
Financial Statement / Cash Flow -> General -> Actual/Actual Comparisons -> Balance
Sheet/P&L Ledger Comparison.

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606), the business function FI-AA,
Asset Accounting is available.
If you use the ledger approach (parallel ledgers) for parallel accounting, with this business function you
can post depreciation from Asset Accounting separately to ledger groups in new General Ledger
Accounting. Note particularly that the representative ledgers of the different ledger groups can use
different fiscal year variants, as long as their start and end dates are the same.
In addition, in Asset Accounting you can now enter differing fiscal year variants at depreciation area
level also for posting depreciation areas. If you also enter the fiscal year variant of the assigned ledger
group for each depreciation area, you can thereby post and display the depreciation to the exact period for
each accounting principle using the given fiscal year variant.
The programs for posting depreciation and displaying posted depreciation have the new input parameter
Ledger Group:
- Posting Depreciation (program RAPOST2000)
- Log of Depreciation Run (program RAPOST2001)
In company codes, in which the new indicator Alternative Fiscal Year Variants is set in Customizing,
you have to enter the ledger group when you post depreciation. The system interprets the period that is
entered based on the fiscal year variant of the ledger group.
The Asset Explorer (transaction AW01N) no longer shows the posted depreciation according to the
fiscal year variant of the leading ledger. Instead it shows depreciation according to the fiscal year variant
of the ledger group that is assigned to the depreciation area.
On the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Fixed Assets ->
Information System -> Reports on Asset Accounting -> Depreciation Forecast, the program
Depreciation on Capitalized Assets (Depreciation Simulation) (RASIMU02) is replaced by the new
program for depreciation simulation (RASIMU_ALV01).
You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for Asset Accounting under
Valuation -> Fiscal Year -> Fiscal Year Variants -> Allow Differing Variants for Depreciation
Areas with G/L Integration. Here you activate the new function for each company code. We
recommend activating this function at the fiscal year change.
In Customizing for Asset Accounting, you can specify the differing fiscal year variants for each
depreciation area under Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level. We recommend that for
each depreciation area you choose the fiscal year variant of the representative ledger from the assigned
ledger group.

you have to enter the ledger group when you post depreciation. The system interprets the period that is
entered based on the fiscal year variant of the ledger group.
The Asset Explorer (transaction AW01N) no longer shows the posted depreciation according to the
fiscal year variant of the leading ledger. Instead it shows depreciation according to the fiscal year variant
of the ledger group that is assigned to the depreciation area.
On the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Fixed Assets ->
Information System -> Reports on Asset Accounting -> Depreciation Forecast, the program
Depreciation on Capitalized Assets (Depreciation Simulation) (RASIMU02) is replaced by the new
program for depreciation simulation (RASIMU_ALV01).
You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for Asset Accounting under
Valuation -> Fiscal Year -> Fiscal Year Variants -> Allow Differing Variants for Depreciation

Areas with G/L Integration. Here you activate the new function for each company code. We
recommend activating this function at the fiscal year change.
In Customizing for Asset Accounting, you can specify the differing fiscal year variants for each
depreciation area under Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level. We recommend that for
each depreciation area you choose the fiscal year variant of the representative ledger from the assigned
ledger group.

3.18.2 FIN_TRAVEL_4: Business Function Travel Management 4 (New)
Use
The business function Travel Management 4 (FIN_TRAVEL_4) is available as of SAP enhancement
package 6 for SAP ECC 6.0 (EA-HRGxx 606), Enterprise Extension Travel Management Extension
(EA-TRV 606). This business function encompasses the new and extended functions of the Travel
Management (FI-TV) component described below.
Unless specified otherwise, the new functions are available in SAP GUI and in the Web Dynpro
ABAP-based user interface.
Save Expense Report as Draft Without Check
This function is available in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based user interface only.
You can configure the Save Draft button in the expense report in such a way that the system does not
carry out any expense report checks. This function has the advantage that users can, at any time, quickly
save an expense report in process.
Expense reports saved without checks are assigned the Draft settlement status. Expense reports with this
status are subject to certain restrictions, for example, you cannot display or further process these expense
reports in SAP GUI.
To further process (for example, approve or settle) expense reports in Draft status, these must first be
saved in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based expense report in the Check and Send step to ensure that all
checks have been run and that there is a state of consistency.
You activate this function using the SWC entry in the HR feature for travel expense parameters
(TRVPA). You can edit this HR feature in the Customizing activity Set Up Feature TRVPA for Travel
Expenses Parameters. When doing so, refer to the "System Administration" section.
Enhancements to the Receipt Buffer and Receipt Overview
Integrating Receipts from Mobile Devices
You can integrate receipts from mobile devices into the expense report so that the system displays these
in the receipt buffer. Receipts from mobile devices are documents (such as a photographed taxi receipt)
that are stored in the optical archive via ArchiveLink, and that include at least the following information:
- Expense Type
- Amount
- Currency
- Date
Users can add receipts from mobile devices to their expense reports from the receipt buffer and also link
these to other receipts (see below).
Before you can integrate receipts from mobile devices, you must be using an optical archive with
ArchiveLink and have made the following entries in Customizing for ArchiveLink:
- In the Customizing activity Edit Document Types, you add an entry with document type
HRITRV_MOB.
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 66
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- In the Customizing activity Edit Links, you link this document type to the business objects
BUS2089 and BUS2089B, your content repository, and a link table.
Adding Attachments to Receipts
Users can add files to individual receipts as attachments. The system archives these files that were added
as attachments in the optical archive via ArchiveLink.
Before you can add attachments, you must be using an optical archive with ArchiveLink and have made
the following entries in Customizing for ArchiveLink:
- In the Customizing activity Edit Document Types, you add an entry with document type
HRITRV_UPL.
- In the Customizing activity Edit Links, you link this document type to the business objects
BUS2089 and BUS2089B, your content repository, and a link table.
Displaying Attachments in the Receipt Overview
In the receipt overview, the new Attachments column indicates whether one or more attachments are
assigned to a receipt. An attachment is either a receipt from an mobile device or was added as an
attachment.
Users can display attachments from the receipt overview by choosing the button or the link in the
Attachments column, and can add attachments.
Linked Receipts
In the receipt overview, users can link multiple receipts to one receipt. More specifically, a linked receipt
can contain the following:
- Travel plan document
- Credit card receipt
- One or more receipts from mobile devices
- One or more receipts created manually
If the individual receipts have different values for the same characteristics (for example, different dates),
the system uses the values from the credit card receipt. If no credit card receipt exists, the system uses the
values from one of the receipts from the mobile devices (the receipt added first). If there are also no
receipts from mobile devices, the system uses the values from the travel plan document.
Users can separate the linked receipts in the receipt overview. This also applies to receipts that the system
has linked automatically. When you separate the receipts, the system restores the original receipts.
Additions or changes made manually are lost in this case.
Using and Linking Receipts from the Receipt Buffer
When you open the receipt buffer (credit card buffer) in SAP GUI or open the receipt entry screen in the
Web Dynpro ABAP-based expense report, the system checks whether at least two of the following
receipts match:
- Credit card receipt from the receipt buffer
- One or more receipts from mobile devices from the receipt buffer
- Travel plan document from the expense report
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 67
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
The receipts must fall within the trip duration and all of the following entries must match:
- Expense Type
- Amount
- Currency
- Date
The system takes all the matching receipts from the receipt buffer and links all matching receipts
automatically in a receipt. Alternatively, the system opens a dialog box that prompts the users to decide
which matching receipts are to be linked by the system.
You control this function using the RBA entry in the HR feature for travel expense parameters
(TRVPA). You can edit this HR feature in the Customizing activity Set Up Feature TRVPA for Travel
Expenses Parameters. When doing so, refer to the "System Administration" section.
Default Values for the Reasons in the Cost Comparison
You can define default values for the reason that users must specify if the travel expense report or
expense report exceeds the maximum values defined for the cost comparison.
- In the Customizing activity Define Reasons for Cost Comparison of Travel Expenses, you can
define (for each trip provision variant) the default values for the cost comparison of the total costs.
- In the Customizing activity Define Reasons for Cost Comparison for Each Expense Type, you can
define (for each trip provision variant and expense type) the default values for comparing costs of
receipts with the corresponding bookings in the travel plan.
If you have defined at least one default value for the reason, the input field for the reason contains a
selection list of the default values, from which users have to select one value as a reason. You can
evaluate these reasons in the trip statistics.
For more information, see Activate Cost Comparisons.
New Functions in U.S. Settlement According to M&IE
Optimized Processing of Per Diems
In U.S. expense reports according to the Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) method, you can reduce
the effort required to maintain the per diem rates by using the significantly reduced set of regions from
the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). In the Customizing activity Import US Per Diems/Flat
Rates from Internet, you can import the GSA data into the SAP system. Using the Business Add-In BAdI:
Optimize GSA File, you can edit the GSA data (for example, add entries) before importing it into the
SAP system. When you then import the per diems, the system imports only those data records for the
regions specified in the GSA data, which may have been modified by the BAdI.
Reimbursement for First and Last Days of Multiday Trip
In U.S. expense reports according to the M&IE settlement method, you can specify for the first and last
days of multiday trips what proportion of the full meals per diems is to be reimbursed. You enter the
tax-free portion as specified by law and the portion that your company is to reimburse. You can also
specify a separate portion that you use, for example, to determine the reimbursement amounts for the
customer billing document; this specification is not used in the standard system.
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 68
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
To specify the portions, you use the travel expense report constants FD_FA, FD_FZ, FD_KU, LD_FA,
LD_FZ, and LD_KU, which you create in the Customizing activity Check Travel Expense Constants.
You can also use the method CHANGE_T706V_VALUES of the Business Add-In BAdI: Change
Reimbursement Amounts to overwrite the per diem reimbursement amounts calculated by the system for
an expense report.
Enhancements to Credit Card Clearing Interface
New File Formats of Credit Card Companies
The expense report (including the travel expense report) supports the standard CCD format as well as the
specific file formats of the following credit card companies:
- MasterCard, file format MasterCard CDF 3
- Visa, file format VISA VCF 4
- American Express, file format AMEX GL1025
To import the credit card files with specific file formats, you require specific programs. You can find
these on the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Travel
Management -> Travel Expenses -> Tools -> Credit Card Data -> Import Credit Card File for
Each Company.
You can use the following Business Add-Ins to control how credit card files of the following formats are
imported:
- File format Visa VCF4: BAdI: Adjust Visa VCF4 Credit Card Transactions
- File format AMEX GL1025: BAdI: Adjust AMEX GL1025 Credit Card Transactions
The credit card files with specific file formats use merchant category codes to classify the type of
transactions. In the following Customizing activities, you define the merchant category codes and assign
these to the transaction keys (and thus implicitly to expense types):
- Define Merchant Category Codes
- Assign Merchant Category Codes and Transaction Keys
Credit card files in the VISA VCF4 file format can contain additional blocks with detailed information
about individual travel services, such as rental cars or flights. To enable these to be evaluated by the
import program, you have to assign the detailed information to the transaction keys and transaction
categories in the Customizing activity Assign VCF4 Detailed Information and Transaction Keys.
To import credit card files in the AMEX GL1025 file format, you have to define the account types for the
American Express credit card company in the Customizing activity Define Account Types for American
Express (AMEX) and specify, for each account type, whether the transaction is to be paid by your
company or by the traveler.
For more information, see Settings for Specific File Formats.
New Fields for Additional Receipt Information
The following fields were added to the additional receipt information to include additional information
from specific file formats of the credit card companies:
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 69
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
- Departure (IATA code for the airport) - this field is also filled when an expense report is created, if
the system uses a flight booking from the travel plan.
- Arrival (IATA code for the airport) - this field is also filled when an expense report is created, if the
system uses a flight booking from the travel plan.
- Airline
- Flight Cabin Class
- Ticket Number
- Odometer Mileage
- Address of the provider:
- Name
- Street
- City
- District (U.S. County)
- Country
- Postal Code
- Telephone Number
When credit card files with specific file formats are imported, the SAP system imports the data from the
corresponding fields of the credit card files, provided these are specified.
The new fields for the additional receipt information are also available for user entries.
In the Customizing activity Field Control for Additional Receipt Information, you can specify which
fields the system shows or hides in the additional receipt information and which fields the user is required
to fill.
Handling Equivalent Fields for VAT Refund
When credit card receipts are transferred from the receipt buffer, the SAP system also fills the fields
(address of provider, except for telephone number and district or U.S. county) for the VAT refund in the
VAT details, provided that the following prerequisites are met.
- The advanced handling of VAT is activated (see Advanced Treatment of Value Added Tax.
- The relevant fields for the VAT refund are ready for input (see Country-Dependent Field Control for
VAT Details).
When an expense report is saved, the system checks whether the data specified for the refund of value
added tax matches the address data for the provider in the additional receipt information. If this is not the
case, the system issues a warning message.
Reverse Charge Mechanism for Credit Card Transaction (CCD Format Only)
The reverse charge mechanism is a VAT-based rule that determines, in specific cases, that the customer is
liable to pay VAT and not the provider. In the expense report, this rule can apply to domestic services
provided by a company located in a foreign country, for example, when a domestic flight is offered by an
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 70
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
airline based abroad.

The standard format for credit card files (CCD format) contains the following new fields for handling
credit card transactions that are to be settled according to the reverse charge mechanism:
- Reverse charge indicator
- Reverse charge country (the country in which the product was purchased or the service was
provided)
For more information about the extended CCD format, see SAP Service Marketplace at
http://service.sap.com/tm -> Travel Management in Detail -> Credit Card Clearing -> Credit
Card Clearing Data Structures (>= ERP6.0 as of 01/11)
The system evaluates these fields when it adds a credit card transaction from the credit card buffer to the
expense report. If the reverse charge indicator and reverse charge country are selected and specified
respectively in a credit card transaction, the system sets the tax code that you have set in one of the
following Customizing activities, in the resulting receipt:
- If the service was provided domestically (in the home country of the trip provision variant used), the
system uses the tax code that is entered in the VAT Code Reverse Charge field for the trip
provision variant and expense type in the Customizing activity Create Travel Expense Types for
Individual Receipts.
- If the service was provided abroad, the system uses the tax code that is entered in the VAT Code
Reverse Charge field for the trip provision variant, expense type, and the country in the
Customizing activity Define Country-Dependent Default Values for Expense Types.
You can set the VAT Code Reverse Charge indicator only if the Input Tax per Travel Expense
Type is defined for the affected trip provision variants in the Customizing activity Define Global
Settings.
This function can also be used in earlier releases by means of support packages.

You can continue to use your existing data without any restrictions.

HR Feature TRVPA
The HR feature for travel expense parameters (TRVPA) has the following new entries:
- SWC
You can use this entry to activate the function for saving an expense report as a draft without checks
in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based expense report.
- RBA
Using this entry, you can activate the new functions of the receipt buffer and the receipt overview in
the transactions of the travel expense report in SAP GUI and in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based
expense report. You can also specify that the system is to automatically link matching receipts from
the receipt buffer to the travel plan document.
The updated feature documentation is available in the standard client (client 000). However, it is client
specific and language dependent, which means it is not automatically available in the other clients. You
______________________________________________________________
SAP AG 71
SAP-System
______________________________________________________________
can update the documentation in the other clients manually or by maintaining the HR documentation
(transaction PDSY).
