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).

1.3.1. 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.
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.
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 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)

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
The indicated Fixed Asset (AA) business processes will be supported via the implementation of the following SAP
FI components, along with supporting applications/interfaces:
Fixed Asset Module (AA)
Manage Creation/Updating of asset master data, according to the defined Accounting scheme, guarantee
integrity and tracking from Business work object and Asset Master Data
Manage the different kind of requirements for Asset classification and depreciations (IFRS/LOCAL GAAP/ USGAAP/

739547772.docx 27 of 72
Provide appropriate reporting on asset master data.
This process describes the reference framework to Asset Master Data Management, which aims to optimize asset
management with:
Embedded controls on Business Work Object to guarantee integrity of Asset Data from the beginning of work.
Link between work end date and depreciation start. It will set the date of the first capitalization
Creation of both Asset Under Construction and Final Asset will be automated.
Depreciation will be posted every month for all assets belonging to a company code.
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.
The indicated Taxes (TX) business processes will be supported via the implementation of the following
SAP FI components, along with supporting applications/interfaces:
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.
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.
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

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

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).
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).

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).

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

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.
