before preparing the payment batch

This process is to record vendor clearing transactions. It is applicable to two following cases:

- In case of payable and advances: accountant can clear many advances with a vendor invoice. Accountants can identify any advance and invoices that need clearing.

- In case of AR-AP clearing: if defined vendors and customers in master data, detailed reports will represent payable and receivable.

o Not marked "Clearing with customer" on the vendor master data and vice versa: accountant manually selects and executes the clearing.

o Marked "Clearing with customer" on the vendor master data and vice versa: the system will show the payables and receivables for each invoice. Accountant perform
clearing these amounts.

1.22 OC-010: Customer Master Data Management

1.22.1 Process Map


Master data contains information that is always used in the same way. Master data forms the basis of sales and distribution p rocessing. Data about the products as well as
about the business partners (customers) are the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP ECC system requires that the master data is maintained in the system.
SAP Customer Master Data would include all the details regarding the customers, which are to be maintained into the system and used as and when required. SAP Customer
Master Data, as can be seen from its name, is the Master Data related to Customer information. In SAP, if you wish to sale finished goods, services or even scrap, you need a
Customer so that the sales can be recorded and executed.

Customer Master Data can be classified as:


• Sales & Distribution Customer
• Finance or FI Customer

Mickaël QUESNOT © - Copyright

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

91
Sales & Distribution Customer is one whom you sell your manufactured/trading goods and services to, meaning the products which belong to your organization and for which
you are known at the market. This type of Customer can also be used for the selling of scrap materials, which is a regular feature in the organization, when you want to record
and track the actual quantity of the scrap sold, if it has a significant accounting and financial impact.

Finance or FI Customer is one where you want to record sales to those customers who are not regular ones, not part of your regular sales and you do not offer your regular
manufactured / trading goods and services to them. The example of such type of customers can be, but not limited to, customers to whom you sell your fixed assets after they
were completely depreciated. For example, wanting to scrap a machinery that has reached the end of its technical life. Similarly, some companies offer vehicles for sale, which
the company has been using for quite some time to their employees first before offering it for sale at the open market.
In short, those customers who are not part of regular sales and for whom there is no requirement to maintain Sales & Distribution’s specific data.

Account Groups in SAP Customer Master Data

Account Groups in Customer Master Data are used for high level classification of Customers. It helps to classify the Customers based on different traits, sectors or lines of
business. It also helps to decide which fields are mandatory when creating a customer related to a certain sector, which fields are optional, and which fields can be suppressed
or made hidden so that the User of Customer creation doesn’t get confused.

Under Account Groups, it is possible to configure in the backend and define if a certain Account Group’s Customer number can be assigned internally / automatically b y the SAP
system or externally by the User at the time of Customer creation or specific number range for a specific customer or whether the Customer’s Account Group number range is
either numeric or alphanumeric.

Classification of SAP Customer Master Data

Customer master is a centrally shared data, which can be used by the logistics modules as well as the finance module. Information contained in the customer master record can
be both descriptive and have functional control depending on the usage. Customer Master Data is classified in following three views:

General Data

General Data in the Customer Master that is relevant for both Sales & Distribution and Accounting, the data fields are grouped on several tab pages. The general data includes
Name, Address, Telephone number, other contact details, VAT, Tax, Good Receiving Hours of Customer, Market Standing of the Customer, Correspondence, Contact Persons
with their designation and contract detail, etc.

Mickaël QUESNOT © - Copyright

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

92
Company Code Data

Company Code Data is relevant for Financial Accounting purposes and processes. It is specific for a given Company Code. This view records data of the Customer’s Accounting
Data such as reconciliation account, sort rule, payment terms, withholding tax information, payment methods, correspondence information with the customer, dunning,
insurance, etc.
Company Code data only applies to one Company Code. This data is only relevant to Financial Accounting and includes:
• Account Management
• Payment Transactions
• Correspondence
• Insurance

If you edit a master record, you must specify the customer number and a company code to access the screens containing company code data. You can only invoice a business
transaction if the data on the Payer partner function is entered in the Financial Accounting view.

Fund center represent the budget center. Fund center represents areas of functionality, responsibility, departments, and projects within KPC’S CUSTOMER. In
KPC’S CUSTOMER, funds center shall be created for a department.
During transaction posting, system will derive the fund center based on derivation strategy where for example one or more cost centers will be mapped to one
or more fund center to facilitate budget availability control. For asset postings, the fund center shall be derived from the cost center maintained in the asset
master.
Fund Centers are used at KPC’S CUSTOMER:
▪ Can assign fund for default values during transaction entry
▪ Funds Center will have 10 characters. One fund center will be created for each cost center group (department). The mapping relationship is thus one cost
center group to one fund center. Fund Center structure will be updated when Cost Centers are defined. Commenté [N(87]: are you sure about that? if checking
current derivation it seems this is not correct
▪ Funds center will automatically be derived from the cost center entry (no dual input)
Commenté [LDHV88R87]: ▪Updated : Funds center can
▪ Funds center can be derived with some cases (if required) in Derivation Rule Configration be derived with some cases (if required) in Derivation Rule
Configration

Budget Control Level: The control level will be at Department. Therefore, the control level will inherit the code and description from cost center group.

Hierarchy Variant: The hierarchical structure of the funds centres for an FM area is represented in a hierarchy variant. The hierarchy variant for KPC’S
CUSTOMER Fund Management will be using SAP standard variant “000”. After creation, the hierarchy variant is initially fiscal year-independent. Only the
assignment of the hierarchy variant to a fiscal year causes the defined funds center hierarchy in it to become valid for the respective year. The steps on fund
center hierarchy variants maintenance are:
▪ During new Fund Center creation, the hierarchy will be created as it is in FM and the fund center will be assigned to the lowest level.
▪ User to assign the fund center to the respective group/node.

Once FM module is activated, all budget relevant transaction will require a fund center to consume the available budget. The fund center will not be input by
user instead it will be derived based on the predefined rules in the system. During transaction posting, system will derive the fund center based on derivation
strategy.

3.7 Funds Center Group


Funds centers can be grouped together according to various criteria for reporting purposes. This enables the depiction of structures within the organization from multiple
view points. Groupings will be decided by KPC’S CUSTOMER Finance.

3.8 Commitment Items
Commitment item refers to functional grouping of revenue, expenditure, asset and liabilities relevant for budget check. In Fund Management module, ‘Annual Budget’
values will be maintained with the combination of commitment item and fund center.
There shall be two broad classifications of commitment items as below:
• Relevant for budget check
• Not relevant for budget check
All G/L accounts used in the KPC’S CUSTOMER Chart of Accounts must be assigned to an appropriate commitment item. During transaction postings, system will derive the
commitment item from the G/L account master. The following transactions would be assigned with a statistical commitment item, which would not be subjected to budget
check.
• All balance sheet accounts (except Fixed Asset and AUC)
• Retirement/disposal of fixed assets
• Depreciation expenses
• Recovery account
• Accruals account.

The commitment item control level decides where the budget is checked. The control level for commitment item can be set at either the commitment item itself or for a
group of commitment items.

GL Accounts in Chart of Accounts (COA) of KPC’S CUSTOMER have to be assigned a relevant commitment items. During posting transaction, commitment items will be
pulled from GL Accounts
All G / L accounts used in the KPC’S CUSTOMER account system must be assigned to a suitable commitment item. During the transaction log, the system will retrieve the
commitment item from the GL account

Expense Group would be created as Commitment item is referred to excel file “Project VFEU_Org Structure_vxx”

3.9 Commitment Items Group


Commitment items can be group together according to various criteria for reporting purposes. This enables the depiction of classifications from multiple view points. KPC’S
CUSTOMER has grouped commitment items by accounts functionality.

3.10 Fund Management Derivation Rule
Once FM is activated in the system, all financial postings or commitments in purchase requisitions and purchase orders require additional account assignments to the FM
master data i.e. Fund center and Commitment item to facilitate the budget availability control process. To ease data entry, FM derivation can be used to automatically
derive the account assignment required for FM during transactional postings.

Following derivation rules shall be used for KPC’S CUSTOMER:

Step Derivation Rule Remarks

1 G/L master derive Commitment item will be maintained in all G/L account. This rule will derive the Commitment item from the G/L
commitment item master. Commenté [DKY[89]: To clarify // we were explained in the
phase 1 that commitment item is a regroupment of several G/L
account but one G/L account can only be linked to one
2 Fixed assets derive cost center During procurement of fixed asset, the system will derive the cost center from the asset master to facilitate the commitment item; which is strange vbecause it result tha
commitment is just a regroupment of G/L accounts that I doubt.
derivation of fund center from the cost center.
. Please clarify for us

3 Cost center derive fund center Derivation mapping table shall be maintained by the user to derive the fund center from the cost center. Any new
cost centers created in future need to be mapped to a corresponding fund center here to automatically derive the
fund center for budget check.

3.11 Profit Center Commenté [SJ90]: Plant Codes updated – to follow MM
plant code proposal in Profit Center Naming Convention
A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing company up into profit centers allows analysing areas of
responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as “companies within the company.
The profit center structure is designed with current business model of KPC’S CUSTOMER. After KPC’S CUSTOMER finalize decision about the operational model, profit
center structure will be discussed and adjusted if necessary.
Below is naming convertion for profit center:

A A A A B B B B

PlantXXXX: Reserved for showroom


- 4 digit plant code (Proposed in MM)
9XXX: Reserved for HO Plant
- 9329: HO – France
- 9304: HO – Germany
- 9330: HO –Netherlands

4 first digits
in segment

Base on profit hierarchy, KPC’S CUSTOMER EU analysis performance, revenue, expense by:
+ Profit center
+ Profit center group
+ Bussiness operation

3.12 Cost Center


Cost Center Accounting is used to identify the costs incurred by an organization. Costs are tracked by individual areas of the organization using cost centers.
Cost Center can plan future costs to have a basis for comparison with actual costs. This provides a means of measuring the cost centre’s performance in controlling costs.
Below is Cost Center Naming Convention:

3.13 Internal Order


An internal order can be used to track costs and revenues (in some cases) within a controlling area. Internal orders support for planning, monitoring, and allocating
costs. Internal order is a type of master data and not an organization unit like cost center.
There are two forms of internal order:
Real Order: expenses after recorded to order can be allocated to relevant controlling objects. For example, maintenance orders - after completion, costs will be
allocated from the maintenance order for relevant cost centers.
Statistical Order: costs are collected for statistical/reporting purposes and not allowed to allocate to any other objects.
Internal orders are categorized based on the order type. Each order type will be installed according to business requirements. KPC’S CUSTOMER will use following
order type:
Order type Description Unit of Measure Number range
Z001 Statistic Expense internal order 1000000-1999999
Z002 Real CAPEX internal order 2000000-2999999

4.3 Ledger
Leading Ledger: The central task of Leading Ledger accounting is to provide a comprehensive record of all business transactions for external accounting. Recording all
business transactions in the SAP system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas (such as sales and purchasing) of a company ensures that the accounting
data is always complete and accurate.
The company codes of KPC’S CUSTOMER EU in SAP will be assigned to a Leading Ledger (0L– EU-GAAP Ledger) and one Ledger which is Non Leading Ledger for IRRS
Below are the system defined ledgers and assigned to the company code of KPC’S CUSTOMER EU:

Z1 EU-IFRS Ledger (Non Leading Ledger) told you – we have to maintain today 3 local gaap FR, DE, NL
and in the future as much as local gaaps as we expand in
other European countries
4.4 Local Currency
Local currency refers to the entity currency used to generate and report financial statements. SAP provides the standard currencies and are available in the system. The
following is the local currency identified for KPC’S CUSTOMER EU:

Currency Description Company Code


EUR Euro 2329
EUR Euro 2304
EUR Euro 2330

4.5 Group Currency


This can be used to define currency for a group of companies at a client level for group reporting purposes. Beside CAD is company currency, with group currency we can
have reports with another currency. At KPC’S CUSTOMER EU, group currency is VND

4.6 Transaction Currency


Transaction currency is the currency of the original posted document. The business transaction can be posted in the transaction currency as well as in the local currency. In
the SAP standard delivery system, all currency codes are defined according to the International ISO standard.

4.7 Exchange rate type


More than one exchange rate type required to be maintained if different exchange rates have to be applied for different purposes/transactions on a same date.

Exchange Rate Type Description Usage


M Daily rate Daily transactions for exchange rate
V Monthly-end revaluation rate For foreign currency month-end revaluation
P Planning Rate Represents the exchange rate for Planning (Controlling)

4.8 Document Type
Document types are created in Financial Accounting for business transactions. Number range would be determined and assigned to each document type to facilitate
numbering control by document range.
List of document type is followed SAP standard refer to Excel file “Project VF_Configuration Data Requirement_vxx”

4.9 Field Status Variants


The field status group also determines which fields are ready for input, which are required entry fields, and which are hidden during document entry.
Below is the Field Status Variant assignment to Company Code for KPC’S CUSTOMER EU:

Company Code Description Field Status Variant Field Status Description


2329 KPC’S CUSTOMER France Z100 Field Status for VFEU
2304 KPC’S CUSTOMER Germany GmBH Z100 Field Status for VFEU
2330 KPC’S CUSTOMER Netherlands BV Z100 Field Status for VFEU

Below is the list of Field Status Group (FSG) under the Field Status Variant Z100. The FSG is normally assigned in the GL master. This controls the line item fields
during posting (optional, required or hidden) of the GL account where it is maintained. These are standard FSG but the settings inside are patterned after the existing
set-up of KPC’S CUSTOMER EU FSG:

Field Status Group Desciption


G001 General (with text, assignment)
G003 Material consumption accounts
G004 Cost accounts
G005 Bank accounts (obligatory value date)

G093 Material consumption accounts (WBS Rqd)
G094 Cost accounts (WBS Reqd)

4.10 Retained Earning account


When a year is closed using program GL carry forward, the income and expense accounts are netted out to the Retained Earnings account, and the beginning balances are
zeroed out for the next fiscal year. Balance Sheet accounts are rolled forward from the last fiscal period in the fiscal year to the beginning period in the next fiscal year.

There’s one GAP between Vietnam accounting standard and SAP related to these accounts.

In SAP, we don’t have step that transfers all P&L accounts to 911 account at month end. SAP only transfers the balance of all P&L accounts to retain earning account at year
end.

To solve this SAP, KPC’S CUSTOMER EU will follow SAP standard, only transfer balance of P&L account to retain earning account at year end.

Retained Earning Account Desciption

4.15 Logistic Invoice Verification (LIV): Tolerance Limit Commenté [SJ94]: LIV Tolerance Limits Updated

During the processing of an invoice, SAP system checks each item for variances between the invoice receipt against the goods receipt. The different types of variances are
defined in tolerance keys. Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If the variance exceeds a tolerance limit, the system issues a message informing the user.
If an upper limit is exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment if it is posted. That means the invoices needs to be released for payment before the payment run is perform.
If the limits for all the tolerance keys are set as ‘Do not check’, then system will not check any tolerance. Hence, any variances will be accepted. The tolerance limit is defined
based on the company code and only applicable to LIV posting.

Following is the current tolerance limits set for VFEU

Tolerance Tolerance Key Description


Explanation
Key
The system determines by how much each invoice item varies from the product of quantity invoiced * order
price. It then compares the variance with the upper and lower limits defined (absolute limits and percentage
limits).
When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks if a price check has been defined for
subsequent debits/credits. If so, the system calculates the difference between (value of subsequent
PP Price variance debit/credit + value invoiced so far) / quantity invoiced so far * quantity to be debited/credited and the
product of the quantity to be debited/credited * order price and compares this with the upper and lower
tolerance limits (absolute limits and percentage limits).
System would allow without any message. Since the variance is within the tolerance. Commenté [DKY[96]:

System would pop-up warning message. Since the variance is above the tolerance and it will be blocked
for payment with indicator A
When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item, the system calculates the new moving
average price that results from the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving average
VP Moving average price variance price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits defined.
System would allow without any message. Since the variance is within the tolerance.
System would pop-up error message before posting since the variance is above the tolerance.

4.27 COPA Profitability Analysis Commenté [SJ103]: COPA characteristics added

Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) enables evaluation of market segments, which can be classified according to products, customers, orders or any combination of these, or
strategic business units, such as sales organizations or business areas, with respect to the company's profit or contribution margin.

Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing
characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements, providing a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting. Cost of goods
sold is recognized after goods are shipped and before being billed.

Account-based Profitability Analysis will be implemented in VFEU. Some of the characteristic’s values are defined in the respective master data, for instance, material
master and customer master. In turn, the values of these characteristics are used to derive other characteristics within COPA. The following characteristics will be
implemented in VFEU.

P&L Level proposed in the list below, however, it can be changed in the system based on allocation rule
EBIT: the dimension no need to allocate the indirect / direct (HO expense, Sales expense) expense to show on the report
