The New G/L in mySAP ERP 2004

When will the new G/L be available? Is it still possible to use the old classic G/L? Can we use both? Does everything look different in the new G/L? How can we migrate from the old to the new G/L?

SAP AG 2005, Slide 4

G/L in ERP 2004 New Customers


In ERP 2004 the current FI functionality remains unchanged after a transition from R/3 to ERP Net new customers can activate the new G/L Customizing using: Financial Accounting (Classic) Financial Accounting Global Settings Activate New General Ledger Accounting (Check Box) Net new customers can also decide to utilize the classic general ledger instead of the new version Both versions of the general ledger will continue to be supported within ERP

SAP AG 2005, Slide 5

New G/L Existing Customers


Existing customers who are upgrading to ERP 2004 will be offered the opportunity to transition to the new G/L in 2005
The migration path is currently under development and testing

If the customer decides to use the new G/L, then he/she can activate it at a client level Once new G/L has been activated, the new Implementation Guide (IMG) and the new transactions are added to the application menus

Parallelism in the New G/L


Parallel Accounting
Any number of parallel ledgers Same user interface for all ledgers (data entry, functions, reporting) Almost the same functionality for all ledgers Online posting to multiple ledgers Postings per specific ledger Closing activities can be run in parallel ledgers simultaneously Standard reporting for multiple ledgers * Remark: Using parallel accounts is still supported

SAP AG 2005, Slide 9

New G/L Leading Ledger Concepts


Parallel Ledgers There is only one leading ledger in every client In Customizing it is determined which ledger is the leading ledger The leading ledger reflects the accounting principle that is used to generate the consolidated financial statements It is integrated with all subledgers and updated in all company codes (if posting is not ledger-specific)

IAS Ledger

US GAAP Ledger

HGB Ledger

Other Ledger

Leading Ledger Concepts Contd


In G/L one ledger is assigned the role of the leading ledger. Group accounting is usually mapped in this ledger. All company codes are automatically assigned to the leading ledger (cannot be deactivated) Parallel reporting can still be mapped via additional accounts. In this case there is exactly one ledger in the general ledger the leading ledger. For parallel reporting in the new G/L you can also add ledgers to the general ledger (not in an SL, as for R/3 Enterprise) The leading area of asset accounting (area 01) must be posted to the leading ledger Controlling transactions must also be posted to the leading ledger

Integration G/L CO
One valuation is maintained in CO The reconciliation ledger is omitted for the new G/L CO can be posted through to the new G/L online The leading ledger is always supplied with data You can use Customizing to specify for each company code which CO postings will post to which ledgers:
Postings in which the company code, profit center, business area, functional area, or segment changes Postings determined by a boolean rule Postings specified by means of a Business Add-In (BAdI)

SAP AG 2005, Slide 15

Profit Center and Segment


As before, the mapping of internal areas of responsibility can be done by means of profit centers The derivation of profit center and partner profit center is carried out in preceding applications (e.g., MM) or in RWIN or by clearly assigning a CO object to a profit center. This corresponds to the previous R/3 logic. The segment is made available as a new organizational unit to map the legal requirements with regards to segment reporting The segment is derived by clearly assigning a profit center to a segment or via BAdI (ABAP coding or substitution)

SAP AG 2005, Slide 16

Transitional Scenario for Profit Center Accounting


It is possible to continue the previous PCA in parallel with the new G/L for a transitional period:
GLPCT (old) does not access split documents SAPF180 may still be used temporarily to transfer receivables and payables SAPF181 can no longer be used. A valuation with updates in the original document is also no longer supported. Exchange rate differences and discounts thus cannot be transferred to GLPCT. GLPCT will not be developed further SAP does not recommend permanent parallel operation!

SAP AG 2005, Slide 17

Motivation of Segment Reporting


Segment reporting aims:
To give detailed insight into different business activities of a diversified company To offer information about the general environment In order to: Better understand the economic performance Better forecast the potential of revenue and financial backup Better anticipate risks and opportunities And more... of the company

SAP AG 2005, Slide 18

Legal Definition of Segments Example


IAS distinguishes between business and geographic segments A business segment represents a selected part or segment of the company that delivers a product or a service with risks and revenues that differ from those of other business segments A geographic segment informs about risks and revenues that differ from other geographic segments in terms of economic, political, etc., reasons

According to US GAAP, a segment is a part of the company that leads to expenses and revenues and that underlies to its own profitability and allocation of resources.

IAS and US-GAAP: A segment must be reported if external revenues constitute 10% (or more) of the total revenues And more.....

SAP AG 2005, Slide 19

New G/L: Derivation of Segment from Profit Centers

Mat.- Management and Production: Controlling object or material master

Sales: Customer order position

G/L- Postings without PC-info: a) Manual entry of segment or b) BAdI (Coding or Substitution) or c) Default Segment

Allocations in G/L
Allocations are used to allocate values and quantities from one or more senders to one or more receivers Allocations can be made in the actual and/or plan Actual/plan distribution
The distribution is posted under the original account, no aggregation is made

Actual/plan assessment
The posted values are aggregated via an assessment account and allocated to the receivers (the assessment account is a primary account)

Planning the Basic Settings


Version
As in CO, new G/L planning requires planning versions You can use any number of independent versions for planning From a technical perspective, the actual data in G/L is still maintained in version 001 A number of basic settings for planning are specified for each version (plan integration, line items, lock)

Planning periods
Periods must be stored for planning (usually the same as the actual)

Document categories
Separate document categories must be defined for planning. SAP recommends defining separate document types for allocations and manual planning.

SAP AG 2005, Slide 39

Manual Planning Keys


In the new G/L, manual planning data is entered via the planning processor Planning layout
Defines which content appears in the header, in the lines, and in columns of the planning screen A number of standard layouts are available

Planner profile
In the planner profile you define which layouts are available You can preset parameters for the planning layouts in the profile The SAPFAGL profile is shipped in the standard

Planning layouts and/or planner profiles can be customer-defined

SAP AG 2005, Slide 40

Integration of CO Planning
CO-OM
The CO-OM plan data is transferred online Prerequisites:
Plan version integrated into CO planning Plan version integrated into CO planning (indicator for general version maintenance) Integration activated

CO-PA The CO-PA plan data can be transferred per report Technically, this uses the FI-SL through-posting For the transfer, you can use the record type to select by plan data In doing so, existing plan data is overwritten. This means the transfer should usually happen exactly once.

G/L Asset Accounting (AA) Integration


As before, the depreciation areas of AA can be directed to different accounts in G/L If a parallel valuation in G/L is depicted by means of additional ledgers in the general ledger, this means for AA:
A ledger group is assigned to a depreciation area The leading ledger must be assigned to area 01 The beginning and end of the fiscal year in asset accounting must be identical to the ledger in general ledger accounting because the depreciation values in the G/L accounts would otherwise be mapped incorrectly An additional ledger is supplied via a derived area. This ledger does not keep any data in the data basis but calculates it at the time of the APC postings.

SAP AG 2005, Slide 52

Integrating G/L with CFM and Consolidation


Corporate Finance Management (CFM)
As in R/3, the valuation areas of CFM are assigned to an accounting principle The accounting principle is assigned to a ledger group. Here, one has to consider that the accounting principle that is assigned to the operational valuation area 001 points to a ledger group that contains the leading ledger. In CFM a separate document is created for all postings per valuation area. This document is then transferred to RWIN. In doing so, an open item is created only for operational area 001. The postings in the parallel areas may contain only the corresponding reconciliation account. If charges for securities purchases are treated differently for two accounting principles, then the position and cost lines must have identical additional account assignments as the splitter would otherwise create incorrect values for one of the views

Strategic Enterprise Management Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS) (SAP BW-based)


The SEM-BCS is supplied by the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) extractors of the new G/L

SAP AG 2005, Slide 53

Integrating G/L with EC-CS and SEM-BCS


Enterprise Controlling Consolidation (EC-CS) and SEM-BCS (R/3based)
Documents that affect the leading ledger can be transferred to Consolidation online
User-defined fields can also be transferred (maintenance of the field transfer 0C03) Profit center and partner profit center can be transferred with the user-defined fields of EC-CS. When this is done, only a drill down by profit centers is possible, but no complete EC-CS consolidation is possible. Reason: Elimination logic exists only for consolidation unit/partner consolidation unit fields, but not for user-defined fields.

The data transfer by means of periodic extracts from R/3 and R/3 Enterprise was based on GLT3 and no longer makes sense in the new G/L. Reason: The new G/L aims to do without tables such as GLT3. In the following cases the data has to be transferred to Consolidation via a roll-up:
Transfer of profit center and partner profit center for complete profit center consolidation (company/profit center is reassigned to consolidation unit and partner company/partner profit center to partner consolidation unit ) OR Transfer of documents that do not affect the leading ledger

Remark: You can also use the roll-up as an alternative to online postings

SAP AG 2005, Slide 54

Integrating G/L with Logistics and HCM


Logistics
In the same way as in R/3, Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) generate documents and then call RWIN The derivation of the organizational units (such as profit center) is done as in Logistics in R/3 The exceptions are the segment and partner segment they are derived in RWIN from the profit center or by substitution

Human Capital Management (HCM) and Travel Management (TM)


As in R/3, HCM and TM generate documents and then call RWIN The derivation of the organizational units (such as profit center) is done as in HCM and TM in R/3 The transfer of detailed account assignment information such as profit center or segment is not realized for all types of line items (eg., payables to employees)

SAP AG 2005, Slide 55

Interfaces
The existing BAPIS have been enhanced with the new fields and continue to be available If postings are to be made via a BAPI with an accounting principle, then the accounting principle must be assigned to a ledger group in Customizing

New G/L -- Ledger Groups


The ledger group contains the leading ledger. The leading ledger is also the representative ledger. If the group does not contain the leading ledger, then the following apply: If a group contains precisely one ledger, then the abovementioned condition applies, which states that this ledger is also the representative ledger The assignment of the company code is relevant for the following two conditions. The final correctness check is carried out only at runtime:
If all ledgers of a group have a different fiscal year variant from the company code to which they are assigned, then any ledger can be flagged as the representative ledger If some of the ledgers have the same fiscal year variant as the leading ledger of the company code and other ledgers have fiscal year variants that differ from that of the company code, then one of the ledgers with the identical fiscal year variant has to be flagged as the representative ledger
SAP AG 2005, Slide 58

Representative Ledgers Every ledger is automatically created as a ledger group with the same name There is exactly one representative ledger in each ledger group Significance of the representative ledger: derivation of the period determination for the entry view (Updates in the respective ledgers, however, happen according to the fiscal year variants per ledger) Note! If the posting periods of the representative ledger are open, then postings are made in all other ledgers, even if their periods are closed
