PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT


The purpose of this document is to outline the solution to be provided by IS to attend to the
requirements as stated in the approved BRD (Business Requirements Document). It will
include a description of the work required and an estimate for the duration and cost of the
project. This information will be used to evaluate the solution and its cost against the
business case and obtain approval for the execution of the project from business and IS.
The HLD will include a description of assumptions, restrictions and prerequisites for the
solution to work as expected, including work to be performed by the business, if any. It will
not include a detailed plan or Go Live date since resource planning will be done after
approval and prioritization against resource availability.

1. SOLUTION OVERVIEW

1.1. Scope
Roll out Brazilian solution to countries in LATAM (Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Panama + Caribbean
countries) with the functionalities already deployed for Brazil with Fit/GAP phase; Blueprint design; System and
integrations development; Testing; Go Live and Hyper Care.
In order to achieve cost and timeline objectives, current scope is considering deploy the BR SAP template into the
countries in scope, including only for legal requirements and any locally distinct processes that add value for the
customer. Back-office processes (e.g. AR, AP, SCM, etc.) should be standardized across the region with the
objective to minimize the cost per transaction (GBS).
Background & Context
 Risk record open for Chile related to patching of the old ERP environment (we cannot apply latest security
patches)
 SAP is imperative for LATAM and we had a serious risk of business interruption, like a severe incident in Chile
in June. ERP’s do not fully attend
 SOX and business requirements. Currently local and manual solutions/workarounds, shadow IT applications
are defined to address the need.
 Due to the lack functionality and maintenance from the vendors of the old current ERP’s versions; It is also
important to mention that we will not be able to fully take advantage of the GBS implementation until we get
a common ERP.
 We have currently 4 different ERPs (BaaN IV c2, iScala 2.3 SR2, Oracle EBS 11i.5.10.2, SAP R3 ECC 6.0).

The project will have two Go Live waves, ensuring controlled rollout of new SAP processes/functionality without
impact to the adopting Business Units (BUs).

1.3. Master Data Requirements

1.3.1. FI – Finance
SAP General Ledger Module (GL) Master Data Element
Chart of Accounts
Unique Plan of Accounts: It is a catalog which contains the accounts necessary to record the economic events
of one or more organizations. A chart of accounts must meet several requirements, such as homogeneity,
integrity (it must present all the necessary accounts), systematic (it must follow a certain order) and flexibility
(it must allow the addition of new accounts).

Accounting Account:
Account, or item, is the basic and central element in accounting and payment services. It is also the smallest
accounting unit capable of summarizing an economic fact. The accounting account is the representation
valued in monetary units of each of the elements that make up the assets of a company (goods, rights and
obligations) and the result of the same (income and expenses), it allows the monitoring of the evolution of

739547772.docx 20 of 72
the elements in time. Therefore, there are as many accounts as there are equity elements that the company
has and, consequently, the set of accounts of a company supposes a complete representation of the equity
and the result (profits or losses) of the company.

General Ledger Account:


These are accounting accounts where debits and credits are registered in a general way, where it is difficult to
extract the movements by a specific criterion. Usually its control is based on the net balance that is calculated
by subtracting the credits from the debits, depending on the nature of the account (the account may be
Debtor or Creditor nature)

Auxiliary Book Account: These are accounting accounts that record the details of the movements that
support the balances reported in the General Ledger accounts. This control is done by recording all the
movements in detail for each member of the auxiliary (debtors, creditors) and that impact the General
Ledger on a consolidated basis (on a daily or monthly basis), as a resulting balance and without transferring
all the transactions that make up said balance.
The chart of accounts is a list that presents the accounts necessary to record the accounting events. This is a
systematic ordering of all accounts.

SAP Account Payable (AP) Master Data Element


Master data is divided into 2 segments with different types of information which is useful for different areas of an
organization.
The creditor master data is divided into:
 General data: these are the supplier's own data, they are data that do not change according to the company
or purchasing organization where they are created, for example, name or company name, address, tax
identification, tax status, etc.
 Company data: these are the data that interest the company in which the provider is created, for example,
the associated account, the payment methods, the treasury group, the data of tax interest such as
withholdings, etc.
 Purchase organization data: these are the data referring to the purchase conditions, such as the payment
terms, the price scheme, the usual purchase currency, etc.

To create a vendor master data, you must use an account group which defines two especially important things:

 Determine the field status of the account master data: The status field is what determines which data is
required, optional, or remain hidden at the time the master data is created.

 Defines the number range: for each group you can create a different number range, or you can even assign
the same range to multiple groups.

Currently, the Template handles account groups that are not useful for other LATAM countries, especially since
providers that are national for one country can be from abroad to others. The definition use and process to be given
to supplier groups in relation to all countries is pending by the ABB team.

BANKS
The relevant master data for bank transactions are:
 Country bank: this is the code that represents a country's banking institutions. The Central Bank of each
country assigns a code to the enabled banks. This code is saved as a country bank or general bank.
 Own bank: Set up to identify the general bank in which companies have one or more bank accounts.
 Account ID: This concept represents the bank accounts held by the company code in its own bank. The same
bank itself can have one or more accounts.

739547772.docx 21 of 72

Cash book or Petty Cash
The cash book is a tool for cash management and movement of funds. It is used to record cash inflows and outflows.
The relevant master data for petty cash transactions is:
 G/M account: This master data contains information that controls the account assignments of the
transactions and the processing of the data.

SAP FI-AR Master Data Elements


The following (supporting) Master Data elements are in-scope:
 Customer Master
 Business Partner
 Material Master

SAP Fixed Asset Module (AA) Master Data Element


The following (supporting) Master Data elements are in-scope:
 Standard Fixed Asset Master Data is a baseline object managed at group level. Baseline naming
convention for Standard Master Data will be unique and global and it will consider the peculiarity of each
value chain.
 Primary Numbers: Represent the principal asset. Primary asset will contain ABB “historical” master data,
with values coming from current legacy System; after SAP start, these assets will be created functionally
for “new constructions” or for new financial asset acquisitions/transfer acquisitions carried out in the
companies. On the primary asset, will be capitalized first acquisition value (e.g: a new device, a new
spare part).

SAP Tax Module (TX) Master Data Element (Argentina)


The following (supporting) Master Data elements are required:
Vendor and Customer master Data Fields
These are necessary fields in Vendors and Customer master data. Appears in the General view master data.
Fields
A) Tax Number 1: this field contains the Tax and legal number of each Vendor or Customer. Ex. CUIT number in
Argentina 30-56071085-9 (to be complete without dashes)

-SAP standard localization; also validate the format of the Tax number 1 for the country according these definitions.

B) Tax Number 2: this field contains the Gross Income (IIBB) number of each Vendor/Customer.
C) Tax number Type (LFA1-STCDT): this value represents the fiscal ID type (identification type) for Vendors in all
LATAM Countries. (two digits). For Vendor and Customers
D) Will be used for Legal reports and other relevant documentation (invoices, others)
E) Tax Type (LFA1-FITYP): this value represents the fiscal condition of the customer/vendor in the country.
Classification of companies according to tax aspect.

F) Tax Categories: this value represents the activation of some local taxes (IIBB, and others) to bill the customer in
the SD Billing Invoice (manage dates, exemptions, etc.)

739547772.docx 22 of 72
E) Withholding Taxes: represents the activation of the Withholding tax type and codes these fields are at
Company code level (FI)

SAP Tax Module (TX) Master Data Element ( All the countries)
The following (supporting) Master Data elements are required:
Vendor and Customer master Data Fields
These are necessary fields in Vendors and Customer master data. Appears in the General view master data.
Fields
A) Tax Number 1: this field contains the Tax and legal number of each Vendor or Customer.

B) Tax number Type (LFA1-STCDT): this value represents the fiscal ID type (identification type) for Vendors in all
LATAM Countries. (two digits). For Vendor and Customers
Example: RUT, NIT, RUN, etc.

C) Tax Type (LFA1-FITYP): this value represents the fiscal condition of the customer/vendor in the country.
Classification of companies according to tax aspect.
Example: Natural Person, National, Juridic Company, etc.

E) Withholding Taxes: represents the activation of the Withholding tax type and codes these fields are at
Company code level (FI)

1.4. Business Processes (valid for all clusters)

FI – Finance

Libro Mayor (GL)


Sap fi introduction to general ledger (gl) refers to SAP's Main Accounting module. The central task of primary
accounting is to provide a balance sheet of the external accounts and accounts. Basically, the general ledger serves as
a complete record of all accounting operations.

 Processes and operations

• Transaction - General posting


• Entry - Register G / L Account Document
• Transaction - General posting with template
• Modification and Viewing of documents

739547772.docx 23 of 72
 Open and close accounting periods

In this process it is possible to indicate in each company code variant, which posting periods are open for posting. For
this, there are two time intervals, where it is indicated in each interval: A lower period limit, an upper period limit and
the year.

 Arrastre de Saldos: Libro Mayor

At the end of the fiscal year, it is necessary to carry over the balances of each book to the new fiscal year. This activity
can be repeated as many times as desired. However, it is usually not necessary to repeat the run since, when posting
in the previous fiscal year, the postings are automatically carried forward to the new fiscal year, provided that the
carry-forward of balances has already been executed to the new fiscal year.

 Valuation of Foreign Currency.

Valuation in Foreign Currency, With the valuation program in SAP, through the transaction FAGL_FC_VAL - Foreign
currency valuation, the items or balances are valued using the new exchange rate, generating a valuation difference
that is posted to adjust the accounting to the values current.

 Balance Sheet Structure


Balance structure is a tool that allows you to configure the format of a balance allowingyou to have different
groupings of accounts or hierarchical structures of balances. Eachstructure will serve to expose a balance sheet in a
different way. The balance sheet structure is complemented with Z development to meet the legal book requirements
of each location

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE MODULE (AP)


The main object to run the accounts payable control is the documents generated for the vendor. With them, the
control needs of these documents (open items, prepayments, credit) and the clearing or sending of payments to the
supplier are generated. The origin of these documents can come from MM (Invoice Entries), PWCE (Invoice Entry,
Advances or Credit Memo), FI-AP - manual document postings.
SUPPLIER MASTER DATA
Vendor master data record contains name, address, currency used for purchase orders, payment condition, control
account. The vendor master record consists of three areas:
a) General data:
Data that applies equally to each company (address, telephone number, language, etc.)
b) Company details:
Data maintained at the company level (payment transactions, reconciliation account number, etc.)
c) Purchases:
Important data relating to purchasing activities, which is maintained at the purchasing organization level
(terms of supply of contact persons, etc.)

739547772.docx 24 of 72
Suppliers can be registered in two ways:
 Through GEFOR - system developed in notes that has workflow and after doing the integration with SAP,
automatically creating the supplier.
 By registering suppliers in SAP in transaction xk01 / xk02.

CREATION OF SUPPLIER INVOICES


Invoices are documents created for the supplier, originated from a purchase, taxes payable, etc.
Invoices can come automatically from purchasing processes, generated taxes, PWCE invoices, PLC uploads or manual
posting directly to the AP.
Manual posting in ABB is only used as an exception and, when invoice is required, it is filled in as follows.

ANTICIPATION REQUEST
It is a statistical document, that is, it does not generate accounting movements at the time of its creation. This item
will only be recorded in the general ledger at the time of payment (F-53) or registration by transaction (F-48).

AUTOMATIC PAYMENT
This option will be used to make massive payments, that is, it is the generation of borders that will be sent to the
banks electronically. Through it we will be able to select all the payments that are maturing on a certain date and
process them at the same time.
All payment must be in the name of the provider registered in the System. Payment is not allowed on behalf of a third
party.

PAYROLL PAYMENTS
The entries of amounts related to Payroll are created by the Human Resources Department through the Rhevolution
system, with the generation of an electronic payment file, where they are sent to the Bank (Itaú), to make the
payment to the employees.
The accounting for these payments is grouped by a total amount per branch and sent to SAP after approval on a Lotus
Notes basis, and a file (PLC > Account Entry Spreadsheet) is sent to carry out the accounting of the output of these
payments.

TAX PAYMENT
The accounting of taxes and taxes are made by the Accounting, Taxes and Human Resources Departments, and sent to
the Financier for payment through collection guides.
These postings are verified and released in the SAP System considering their respective maturities.
After the releases and conferences of the payments, the Suppliers department, through the ZFITAXPOSTER
transaction, and based on an Excel file, generates the open items for these payments.
Thus, the payment proposal is generated through transaction F110 and generates the payment cycle, thus considering
the corresponding providers and their respective due dates.
For some taxes and duties, the Suppliers department receives electronic files from the responsible departments to
send them to the banks.

739547772.docx 25 of 72
The postings for tax payments that were not possible to generate the electronic file by the person in charge are
entered manually in the Bank's system by the Suppliers department.

INTERNAL PURCHASE AND SALE PROCESS. CVI


The internal buying and selling process is called CVI. The SAS receives the payment request with the information of the
exit to pay and the exit to receive.

PAYMENTS WITH CHECKS


Payment by check will only be made for branch refunds and refunds or in the case of any legal process that requires
payment by check. These must be signed by authorized approvers in accordance with the Judicial Power.

RETURN OF PAYMENT
Payment return files are generally received by the Accounts Receivable department. The consistency files and the final
declaration are downloaded to the SAP system. Consistency files are downloaded only to verify that payments have
been scheduled. If the bank rejects any payment at the time of canceling consistency, the SAP system automatically
reopens the item, allowing correction on departure and forwarding to the Bank.

PAYMENTS REFUSED
Payments rejected by the bank through DOC and TED in days after the due date are analyzed and returned for
payment by the Accounts Payable department. In the rejected departure, a history of the reason for the return is
observed.

PAYMENTS WAGONLIT, AMEX, ALATUR


These are open item documents for travel and card expenses. These expenses are received through files and uploaded
to SAP, processed in releases and a file is generated to be uploaded via PLC.

Account Receivable Module (AR)

 Master Data – Create, Change and Display Customer


In the customer register, the following is inserted: customer name, Address, Communication, Tax Number (Example:
CUIT Number), Accounting Information (Reconciliation Accounting), Payment Methods, Dunning frequency and
Interface ICV and R-Box (ABB global solution).
 Customer Credit Management
Credit analyst checks the client's financial documentation and determines the credit limit in the register. Credit
Control Area defines credit limit. A credit control area can have more than one company. Risk Class is manually
changed. Credit exposure occurs in Sales order and Invoice.
Customer is blocked for all credit management business transactions (order acceptance, delivery, ) after running out
of credit limit. Customer blocked for all credit management business transactions (order acceptance, delivery) after
running out of credit limit. Can still post invoices for goods that have been delivery.
 Customer Down Payment Request
If Customer Down Payment Request is with external project, is required create billing document with input invoice
document (SD). Area creates down payment request and post conciliation based on the bank entry.
 Business Partner

739547772.docx 26 of 72
Business Partner automatically created when the client generated. These rules determine the order that customers
shown on Worklist. With the presentation of clients on the Worklist, it is possible to start Dispute Case and Promise to
pay.

 ‘Dispute Case
Dispute Case is internal communication and created due to business problems that, for the customer, justify the non-
payment of the debt (wrong invoice, wrong tax, wrong address, goods not received, etc.).
Email sent to ABB technical staff and technical team analyzes the case. Required definition of Analyst and Supervisor
by Profit Center to which emails will sent. After solving, Dispute case will returned to business area, which will
continue the collection process.
Dispute case will closed when customer invoice are cleared e o history of the actions performed will displayed in the
worklist.
Dispute Case update done through a program (without manual intervention).
 Promisse to pay
Worklist will show all unpaid invoices on the due date according to the established rule. Promise to pay are created
when there are no technical and operational details that justify non-payment.
Business area contacts customer and determines new payment date e create Promise to pay. Program sends email to
the customer informing about the agreed payment promise. If payment confirmed, it updates the payment promise
and links the payment received to the business partner.
 Dunning
It is the process for which collection letters sent to customers who have unpaid invoices by the due date.
SAP standard allows for three rules and three card templates. (GAP will show below).

Legal or Tax books do not require separate running of Depreciation.
Before period is closed centrally at month end, depreciation to be posted.
The monthly depreciation posting scheduled as background job. It post separate documents in 0L and parallel
Ledger.

Taxes (TX) Argentina/Uruguay and Caribbean Countries


 Purchasing (input process)
 Sales (output process)
 Withholding Taxes
 Tax Reports

The indicated Taxes (TX) business processes will be supported via the implementation of the following
SAP FI components, along with supporting applications/interfaces:

Taxes Module (TX)

Purchasing/Billing Processes: The Input/ouput documents (Invoice, Credit notes, etc) will include the calculation
and derivation of different taxes.
Tax Codes:
Used to implement Taxes on Sales and Purchases (VAT, Perceptions, internal taxes)
Tax procedure is defined in the country, which includes the tax structure and tax codes.
Tax Codes can combine different taxes and include the corresponding rates to be calculated on each transaction
(e.g.: VAT 21% + Gross Income Perception CABA 1,5 %)
Accounts are defined for each tax component.

Withholding tax Module


SAP calculation applied through the combination of a Withholding tax code and an Withholding tax type indicator.
Combinations of tax code and types indicators reflect withholding tax regimes for which the company acts as
agent.
Withholding tax Type:
Withholding classified according to different tax withholding systems.
Specifies different attributes to calculate deductions. For example: Time of retention
(Posting of the invoice or payment posting) Calculation Base (gross, net, tax), type of accumulation (monthly,
quarterly, annual or without accumulation), treatment of partial payments, issuance of certificates retention
control minimum amounts base and retention, etc.
They are assigned by company code

739547772.docx 28 of 72
Withholding tax Code:
Defined the amount or the percentage of each withholding

Tax Reports
Different kinds of Tax and Withholding tax reports are required and will be provided by SAP TAX standard
module and/or according Argentina localization.
In the case of Argentina, different Z Reports will be extended from the current SAP system to the new SAP.

1.5. Distinct Business Processes (specific for a


clusters/country)

Chart of Accounts:
Country chart of accounts: in certain countries it is mandatory to use the specific chart of accounts by legal
regulations. However, a company can have the same chart of accounts of its parent company and in each G / L
account of the operational chart of accounts assign the account of the country chart of accounts in order to
maintain an equivalence between both charts of accounts
COP

Since by fiscal regulations it is required to manage the accounts established for the country, in this way to be
able to execute the reports requested by the national regulatory entities.

COP/Ecuador
It is required to determine the use of the LOTUS NOTE tool in LATAM countries, since currently some of these
do not use this tool in their processes

 At this point an analysis should be performed to develop a program to cover the authorization process.

COP

Magnetic Book Reports

The generation of tax reports is required according to COLGAAP standards, where withholdings are shown at
the source of third parties, Income, Purchases and Expenses (where the third party (supplier / client)
involved, Sales, among others is identified.

Arg/Urg

You need to obtain the Accounting Balance in Local Currency (ARS in Argentina and UYU in Uruguay) for Local
accounting requirements = IFRS.

Likewise, it also requires accounting reports in USD extracted under Local regulations to comply with internal
information or audit requirements.

ALL COUNTRIES
You are required to send the Accounting Balances (Accounting Reports) under Global / Corporate standards =
USGAAP and in USD Currency.

Solution proposal
To comply with obtaining the local Balance = IFRS (in local currency and in USD), book 0L would be used and
to comply with the global report, book 1L would have to be used, as defined today in the Template.
This applies to Argentina and Uruguay.

Arg
It was requested to activate and configure the automatic GL inflation adjustment module by local
requirement of Argentina. With monthly execution.

Caribe
You need to obtain the Balance Sheet in Local Currency for Local = IFRS accounting requirements.
Likewise, it also requires accounting reports in USD extracted under Local regulations to comply with internal
information or audit requirements.

COMMERCIAL PROCESSES ACCOUNTS PAYABLE FOR ALL COUNTRIES


The main object to run the accounts payable control is the documents generated for the vendor. With them,
the control needs of these documents (open items, prepayments, credit) and the clearing or sending of
payments to the supplier are generated. The origin of these documents can come from MM (Invoice Entries),
PWCE (Invoice Entry, Advances or Credit Memo), FI-AP - manual document postings.
At this point, the gaps detected for each of the clusters / countries that make up the object of the
implementation rollout are added, they are identified individually by each one of them.

739547772.docx 31 of 72
These points or requirements are requested by the BPOs for current processes or required by country
regulations within each of the current processes managed by the Template

SUPPLIER MASTER DATA


Vendor master data record contains name, address, currency used for purchase orders, payment condition,
control account.

ALL COUNTRIES
 Provider Groups: It is required to validate the handling of provider groups for the ABB group
since they are shared among themselves. For Brazil, a supplier can be national while for Colombia
it is considered foreign. This requirement is necessary for all clusters or countries that make up
the ABB group, and includes the range of numbers. The solution is pending by ABB team.

CREATION OF SUPPLIER INVOICES


Invoices are documents created for the supplier, originated from a purchase, taxes payable, etc.
Invoices can come automatically from purchasing processes, generated taxes, PWCE invoices, PLC uploads or
manual posting directly to the AP.
Manual posting in ABB is only used as an exception and, when invoice is required, it is filled in as follows.
For the registration of invoices, the process currently handled by the Template will be considered, however it
is necessary to mention that there are particularities for the countries as mentioned in the following points:
ARG-URY
• Automatic Check Not Legal Vendors/Purchase Invoices: request to add and automatic process and
validation to verified if the Vendor and the Purchase Invoice is legal. According a Legal electronic file
with a new Program. Currently Argentina does not have this functionality in SAP.
• Automatic Check of Exchange Rates (Invoice issue date Vs SAP Table Rate): Request to add and
automatic validation to verify the difference between the Exchange Rate in the Issue Invoice that
are posted against the SAP Exchange Rate table and check a value as limit. Currently Argentina does
not have this functionality in SAP.
• Credit Invoice document Legal Validation request : is required to fulfill the Legal validations of the
Credit Invoice from Vendors. (is Not Electronic Billing invoice to customer) . Currently Argentina has
developed in 2019 year with a Third-party Vendor the Process, a Z program and Z monitor in SAP to
have a solution. ABB Template does not have a program to fulfill this local requirement. In case that
we continue with the Z programs, will be necessary to review technically and extend the Program to
the new SAP.

ALL CLUSTER
• Use of tools to upload invoices: It is required to validate the use of tools external to the system that
are currently handled in the Template. For example, the loading of invoices through PLC or those
created from PWCE.
• Check Purchase Documents formats and Duplication : ABB request to put different
validations now of the post the Purchase documents to avoid duplication by Vendor, Company Code,
Document type, depending the format numbering of the document. ABB Template does not have
this kind of validation depending the format/numbering of the legal purchase document.

ANTICIPATION REQUEST

739547772.docx 32 of 72
For the registration of advances, the process currently handled by the Template will be taken into account,
however it is necessary to mention that there are particularities for the countries and points that affect all of
these in the same way as mentioned in the following points:
ARG-URY
• Blocking type to control a Credit note posted : A Blocking type “F” was implemented that ensures
that an invoice affected by a Purchase Order, with an Open Advance, cannot be released for
payment without the Credit Note canceling the advance has been posted (development in SAP)

AUTOMATIC PAYMENT
The payment process currently handled by the Template will be taken into account, however it is necessary
to mention that there are particularities for the countries and points that affect all of these in the same way
as mentioned in the following points:
ARG-URY
• Program to send TXT Electronic File with payments to Bank : Is required a Program to create the
TXT eletronic files, according the formats of local Banks. Currently have the Program Zpaylink which
creates the TXT file with Payments information created by Trx F110 in SAP according some Argentina
and Uruguay Banks formats requirements. Currently download and send manually to each Bank.
ABB Template must confirm which Program has to be used by these 2 Countries. The ARG/URY
Program or the Brazil Program. In case that we continue with Zpaylink will be necessary to review
technically and extend the Program to the new SAP.
• Interface to send TXT Electronic File with payments automatically to Bank : After the
Program Zpaylink creates the TXT file is required to develop a new Interfase/process to send the TXT
electronic Files to each Bank automatically from the new SAP. ABB Template does not have a
Program to Interfase these Files according the technical definitions of each Local Banks.
• Payment Advice: Is required to send to the vendors a payment advice form with all the information
related each payment, invoices, withholding, etc. Currently these countries have a Z Program in SAP.
ABB Template does not have a program which send these forms according local requirements. In
case that we continue with the Z program, will be necessary to review technically and extend the
Program to the new SAP.
• Treasury Bank Statement and reconciliations : Is required that the Electronic bank statement be
processed in SAP and clear bank accounts and vendor and customer account. Currently Argentina
has internal Process and a Z program developed to have this solution. ABB Template does not have a
program to fulfill these local requirements according the local Banks Structure formats and the
module is configured according Brazil requirements. In case that we continue with the current Z
program will be necessary to review technically and extend the Program to the new SAP, also make
all the configurations of the Treasury modules related all the Banks, reconciliations keys, etc.

RETURN OF PAYMENT
Payment return files are generally received by the Accounts Receivable department. The consistency files and
the final declaration are downloaded to the SAP system. Consistency files are downloaded only to verify that
payments have been scheduled. If the bank rejects any payment at the time of canceling consistency, the SAP
system automatically reopens the item, allowing correction on departure and forwarding to the Bank.

PAYMENTS REFUSED
Payments rejected by the bank through DOC and TED in days after the due date are analyzed and returned
for payment by the Accounts Payable department. In the rejected departure, a history of the reason for the

GENERAL TAX FOR COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR


• In Colombia there is a great variety of withholdings required by the tax authority. So, SAP generated
a particular note where it facilitates the reports required by this control entity. In these reports, the
details of the withholdings of each third party must be handled separately.

739547772.docx 39 of 72
• For Ecuador there is no particularity for the management of taxes and withholdings, however the
report formats that they currently handle is required to consider them.
• For both countries it is required to generate the withholding certificates once the invoices have been
registered or the payments have been issued, in the same way for the sales process according to the
withholdings that apply.

Account Receivable Module (AR)

FSCM
GAP: Configuration of collection management rules. Configuration performed by currency according to the
rules already created in the template (All)

Dunning
GAP: Form creation and collection letter rule (All).

Customer Group
GAP: Client 100, 200 and 300 will be equivalent to a single group for LATAM.
It is necessary to create a development to, at the time of accounting, cross-country of the center vs country
of the client to determine the correct reconciliation account for AR (All).

Exchange Rates in Customer Sales Billing


GAP: mantener a diario el Tipo de cambio M con la relación entre moneda Local del país y las monedas del
extranjero según la Cotización del Banco Central de cada país (Panamá).
Issue: actualmente el Template solo contempla mantener un tipo de Cambio M según el Tipo de cambio ABB
Global en SAP y no el de los países (Panamá).

Issuance of invoices from Sales


GAP: Juan Pablo mentions that they only invoice from sales, and for the reception of advances, they issue an
invoice according to the consideration of clients since not all require it and in this they can apply VAT
withholdings. The advance recorded in a deferred account. Camilo mentions that they create an equivalent
document. Advance posted to the advance account directly. Generation of the equivalent document
(Collection receipt). (Ecuador/Colombia)
GAP: Validate the advance registration process and the issuance of invoices for the receipt of these
(Ecuador/Colombia).

Bank Reconciliation Process


GAP: Survey and analyze in detail the Current Development of Argentina to implement it in the new SAP.
Analyze the entire necessary prerequisite configuration carried out in SAP for each Country and Bank
(Argentina/Uruguay).
Issue: Template does not contemplate a Global Bank Reconciliation process according to TXT File Formats
applied equally in these countries. The Template must determine if this Development will can extended or if
they will use some other tool. In Template (Brazil), the files are imported automatically and the conciliation
process in Brazil is automatically in SAP but with the format of the Brazilian Banks and with other programs.
In Brazil Template, they also have three Accounting Accounts to manage the Banks (All).

739547772.docx 40 of 72
Credit limits
GAP: Colombia performs credit analysis and in relation to this credit quota assigned. They do not manage
credit structures, independently of the associations of the company’s credit line applies separately to each of
them. Quota analysis carried out annually to approve higher quotas if required. In Ecuador, it handled in a
similar way, managing limits based on BAT (Business Authority Table) and risk qualifiers. They do not manage
credit management structures (Colombia/ Ecuador).

Electronic Invoice to customers


GAP: The electronic invoice must also made in foreign currency. (Colombia).
GAP: Invoicing from the FI module will not allowed according to Template as in the current SAP. The
requirements and definitions of Electronic Invoicing reviewed from the SD module (Panama/Caribe).

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


GAP: Alessandra indicates that the Template manages a tool for the application of provisions for doubtful
debtors, which will validated if it is applicable to the needs of each country. Review of the Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts process (All).

Collection processes
ISSUE: Panama accounts Receivable not managed from Panama centralized in Mexico. They do not have the
Function in Panama, the GBS does. The entire closing process managed here and they defined for each
country. We need a Person to explain the Collection process to us. Reference Miguel Arroyo. (Panama)
ISSUE: In Caribe, each country is responsible for collection. It is the responsibility of the accountant in each
country. The idea is to align in the collections model. Most pay them with Bank Transfer and others with
Checks and some with credit cards. In 99%, they are bank transfers, which only received in a single bank that
is CITIBANK. It is the only Bank and the one that will be this only. Then the extracts downloaded from the
Bank's page, prepared in Excel and entered manually in the current ERP. Local references requested to
request from CITIBANK Bank what Service it offers to achieve an integrated SAP Solution for the Collection
Process .In order to determine the implementation deadlines, programs to implement, what is the process,
costs. Global model, there is a process in Brazil for the management of automatic collections that only applies
according to the location of Brazil (Caribe).

ISSUE - Verify the discount points for prompt payment and the payment conditions for clients. Nicole and
Hector (Peru).
ISSUE - For advances or advances received, proof of payment with VAT application issued. NC and ND prints
applied to invoices generated. Only sales processes generated. For the billing issue they use two applications
called GOSOCKET and XML billing (electronic billing), they validate the required fields to avoid any errors
before sending to Sunat or the tax authority. They are providers of electronic services (Peru).
ISSUE: For advances or advances received, proof of payment with VAT application issued. Each area is
responsible for the creation of invoices and NC, these are created through Oracle and then sent through a
transaction to GOSOCKET. In the same way, advances can registered without billing according to the contract.
The whole process carried out the same as in Peru (Chile).
ISSUE - Chile raised a case of receipt by check in which they cancel the customer's invoice against the receipt
of the check, not against the deposit in the bank. How should they proceed in SAP? Answer: This is the
accounting problem and solved by creating a deferred check transit account and then when the check entry
appears on the bank statement, it cleared (Chile).
ISSUE - Peru raised the case of deductions in Peru, they are applied to certain ABB service invoices that
exceed 700 Soles, the client makes the payment in two parts, pays a part to ABB (check or bank transfer), for
For example, 90% and the other part, 10%, is paid to the National Bank. The National Bank account is an
account for paying taxes. It is a checking account used to pay taxes (IGV - General Sales Tax, income tax, etc.).
How to handle this in SAP in SAP? Detail: The dates of entry into the two accounts may be different (Peru).

Tax withholdings in Customer Collections


GAP: In all countries the Customer Withholds VAT and sends the Withholding Certificate by mail in PDF to the
ABB collections area. The customer sends them a PDF with the Withholding Certificate by mail and at the
time of applying the collection, they have to apply the Withholding Certificate and it reflected in the Client's
checking account. Today they have some restriction in the ERP to process it and it does so with a debit note
to save the situation. Define whether the process of Income and registration of Tax Withholdings in
Collections in each country. Today the Template does not contain this process in its content that can
extended to countries (Panama/Caribe).
GAP: Validate the process of applying withholding tax on payments and issuing invoices (Panamá / Caribe).

Withholding at the time of the invoice and at the time of receiving the payment
ISSUE - If there is withholding at the time of the invoice, but there is no withholding at the time of receiving
the payment (Chile).
ISSUE - In the case of sale of goods, ABB is a special taxpayer, no withholding is made, but in the case of sale
of services a deduction is charged (Peru).
GAP: Required a process to post the Withholding taxes suffered by Customers an enter additional
information with the collection or a moment after that. ABB Template does not provide a solution for this
request. Will be necessary extend this step process in the Collection moment (Argentina/Uruguay).

Account Receivable Collection with Checks


GAP: Is required a process and a program to collect with Checks. ABB Template does not provide for these
countries any process or Program to collect with Checks. If is decided to extend the current Z Program will be

739547772.docx 42 of 72
necessary a technical analysis to move this to the new SAP. Uruguay currently does not use Program for
Collection (Uruguay/Argentina).

Collection Receipts Form


GAP: Required a SAP program that automatically generates customer collection receipts in each country. It is
not legal, but it is necessary for reasons of uses and customs (Panamá / Caribe).

Reports related to Credits and Collections


GAP: Translation of the following programs: ZFBL5N_NEW, ZRFI_TOP_EXPOSURE, ZRFI_TOP_NET,
ZRFI_TOP_OVERDUE,
ZRFI_CREDIT_LIMITS (All).
GAP: The reports they currently handle requested, mainly an overdue report and another with expiration
dates. Validate legal reports (Colombia/ Ecuador).

Refunds to customers
GAP: Analyze - Juan Pablo and Camilo confirm that the reimbursements they receive are due to contract fees
and, for example, training expenses that distributed among the assisting countries (Colombia/ Ecuador).

Accounting entries
GAP - What will be the tool that will replace the PLC, a program that creates accounting aspects in SAP? What
is happening today in Argentina's SAP? (All)

Divergent accounts
GAP: Camilo indicates that in the current system they do not handle divergent accounts. If a change needed
in the client's account, the invoice canceled or the client expected to make the payment to modify the master
data and agrees to implement the divergent accounts in SAP in the event that a posting change needs to
make in the associated account. Juan Pablo indicates that these cases have do not been presented in the
system, but he also accepts the creation of divergent accounts (Colombia/ Ecuador).

Exchange rate
GAP: maintain the M exchange rate daily with the relationship between the country's Local currency and
foreign currencies according to the Central Bank Quote of each country (Argentina/Uruguay).
Issue: currently the Template only contemplates maintaining an M Exchange rate according to the ABB
Global Exchange Rate in SAP and not that of the countries (Argentina/Uruguay).

Chart of Depreciation general explanation


The main entity in Assets Accounting is the Chart of Depreciation. It is a list of depreciation areas arranged according
to business and legal requirements.

739547772.docx 43 of 72
The chart of depreciation enables to manage all rules for the valuation of assets in a particular country or economic
region.
Chart of depreciation is meant to be the ensemble of all parallel views required to fulfil all the statutory, fiscal and
managerial demands of the Companies. Each depreciation area represents a specific type, mainly for the depreciations
count and for the managing of related funds.
Chart of Depreciation is a baseline object at Country Level, all the Company in the same Country must use the same
Chart of Depreciation.
To fulfil the location of each Country from legal and fiscal point of view and the characteristics of their companies, we
have to create for each Country a Chart of Depreciations and assign this in each Company Code.
Is confirmed by decision of the Corporate Group that Argentina will not have any Company code where the local
currency being USD ISO code, so is not necessary to create second Chart of Depreciation to assign them.
For the definition of this object, the guideline of the Chart of Depreciation will be as follow:

Chart of dep. Description

*Solution: Configuration Standard

Depreciation Areas general explanation


Each depreciation area is set up to handle depreciation for a particular purpose (e.g. book depreciation, tax
depreciation, group depreciation, cost-accounting depreciation, etc.).
Every depreciation area belongs to at least one chart of depreciation and is managed independently from other
depreciation areas.
In each area, separate credit and debit balances are managed as follows:
 by asset;
 by individual value component: historical asset cost, depreciation.
The Global template contains different depreciation areas with specific definition related how depreciation will be
posted
To fulfil Local and Fiscal requirements of each country the depreciation areas will be defined.
These are the Depreciation areas that will created

739547772.docx 44 of 72
Argentina and Uruguay: Local GAAP (Local Currency and USD Currency), Fiscal/Tax (ARS), Inflation (ARS) (only
Argentina), Historical+Inflation (ARS) (only Argentina), USGAAP (Local Currency).
Also will created Reports areas (derived areas) and Difference areas/Deltas (Local Vs. USGAAP)
*ABB request globally to Argentina and Uruguay to report USGAAP in USD Currency, however the Template has a
technical limitation where does not have the USD currency active in the 1L (Parallel Ledger).
So ABB Template has to confirm which will be the solution to cover this requirement for Argentina and Uruguay

Caribbean Countries: Local GAAP (Local Currency and USD Currency), USGAAP (Local Currency).
Also will created Reports areas (derived areas) and Difference areas/Deltas (Local Vs. USGAAP)
*ABB request globally to those Caribbean Countries where the Local Currency is different than USD, to report USGAAP
in USD Currency, however the Template has a technical limitation where does not have the USD currency active in the
1L (Parallel Ledger).
So ABB Template has to confirm which will be the solution to cover this requirement for them.

Chile and Peru: Local GAAP (Local Currency and USD Currency), Fiscal/Tax (Local Currency), USGAAP (Local Currency).
Also will created difference areas/delta (Local Vs. USGAAP)
Chile has to confirm if is necessary a Monetary Correction/revaluation additional area to migrate values separately for
Reports.

Colombia: IFRS (Local Currency and USD Currency), COLGAAP (Local Currency), USGAAP (Local Currency).
Also will created difference areas/delta (IFRS Vs COLGAAP Vs. USGAAP)

Ecuador: Local GAAP (Local Currency and USD Currency), USGAAP (Local Currency).
Also will created difference areas/delta (Local Vs.USGAAP)
*Solution: Configuration Standard

Depreciation calculation keys

The depreciation key (or valuation key) controls the valuation of the asset in the particular depreciation areas.
The depreciation key consists of the following:
 Calculation method for the automatic calculation of interest, ordinary and special depreciation;
 Possibly a cut off value key;
 Various control indicators.

Further local depreciation keys can be defined at localization level.


These are the additional Depreciation Keys for Local / IFRS GAAPs that will be created:

a) Straight-line over cost Full same Month: an specific period control method is defined start depreciation from the
same Month of Capitalization date.
b) Straight-line over cost Proportional of same Month: an specific period control method is defined start depreciation
from the same Month of Capitalization date and calculate in proportion of the Dates (Example from day 20
Capitalization date)

739547772.docx 45 of 72
*To be confirmed in which countries for Local GAAP and IFRS is necessary to assign one or the other new depreciation
keys by each Asset Class that are required in the country.
*Solution: Configuration Standard

Asset Classes
• Defines the type of asset and how is treated. Contains default values and control elements which are passed
on to individual assets when you open a new asset maser data record
• Is used to assign the assets to the correct general ledgers accounts
• Account determination: must post GL accounts according to global design.
• The Global template presents a complete list of asset classes, which can be used by new company code based
on requirement.
Each Country has to review the Template asset classes and confirm which are to be applied.

Some countries request additional Asset classes that not exist in the Template to manage the Rental/Leasing Assets.
Argentina: request an additional Asset class that not exist in the Template to manage the Rental/Leasing Computers.
New class should be created with all the configurations related.
Colombia: request an additional Asset class that not exist in the Template to manage DEMOS (no depreciation) New
class should be created with all the configurations related.
Peru/Chile: request an additional Asset classes (vehicles, equipments and others) that not exist in the Template to
manage leasing as asset. New classes should be created with all the configurations related.

*Solution: Configuration Standard

Fixed Asset module Inflation


Argentina request an automatic calculation and posting process monthly in SAP to fulfill the legal and local accounting
resolution about Inflation Adjustments at Fixed Asset level according the Legal Index issued by the government.
Posting only in the Local GAAP Ledger.
ABB templates does not have this Functionality currently in SAP.
SAP provides an Standard Module and program (configuration, OSS SAP notes, new GL accounts, master data, tests,
data migrations, are required) to cover the solution of this request.

1.7. Process Steps

Account Payable, Process Steps:

• Maintain Vendor Master Data


Master data is records in SAP that are used in transactions. These logs are not constantly modified and allow the user
to work in an agile manner. They are referred to in the documents by their code, which will refer to the complete
information thereof. By integrating master data into centralized database objects, you can avoid data redundancy. SAP
components use data from individual master data records for most transactions.

• Invoice Handling
Depending on business requirements, different types of vendor invoices can be processed, such as invoices or credit
notes. In most cases, vendor invoices are preceded by purchasing processes and followed by processes such as
accounts payable, payment management, and general ledger. This process describes how vendor invoices are entered
into the system manually with reference to previous documents, such as purchase orders, receipts for goods and
services, inbound deliveries, or purchase contracts.

• Payments
A payment proposal list contains all open items (for example, invoices or credit memos) that the system proposes for
payment within a single payment run. Payment proposal lists can be used to verify internally initiated payments prior
to execution.
The list of payment proposals is determined according to the payment strategy defined in the configuration and shows
the pending payments, considering the payment terms.

• Account Analysis of Reconciliation

739547772.docx 63 of 72
This report checks each petty cash balance, checks the balances and bank account balance to see if the relevant
balance in the cash subledger matches the corresponding balance in the cash register.
The key date corresponds to the transaction date of a payment, not the posting date. If discrepancies are found, the
amount of the difference is displayed. You can use this report to check if the payment amounts have been successfully
transferred to the cash subledger

• Reports
There are different types of accounts payable report aimed at measuring volumes, efficiencies, productivity, times.
Status aging shows the age of the invoices in process. That is, it indicates what status each invoice is in at the present
time, for how long and who is responsible for the task to be carried out with the invoice. In the same way, there are
multiple reports that show the information required for the management of accounts payable of a company.

<list functionality and scenarios NOT covered by this solution, if any>

Account Payable Module


Among the points not considered for the project we have the management of travel expenses for which SAP
handles the TM (Travel Management) module. Currently the process for relation of travel expenses is
handled manually through seat loads in the Lotus Note tool which will be removed. The validation of the
process that will be created in all countries for the management of these expenses is required

Fixed Asset Module


ABB has to define how to manage the main Template processes in AA like acquisitions, retirements, etc
processes without the use of Lotus Notes (Lotus Notes is defined in the ABB template) however will not be in
use in the future with SAP.
