5 2 IS-PS-CA Cntract Accunting fr Public Sectr 2.1 Cmpany Cdes Replacement f the Respnsible Cmpany Cde in Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable Previusly, the respnsible cmpany cde had the fllwing cntrl characteristics in FI-CA: It determined the cmpany cdes in which yu culd pst t a cntract accunt It was the cmpany cde in which payment transactins were prcessed It was (regardless f Custmizing) the cmpany cde in which payments n accunt were psted The cupling f these functins heavily restricts the ptins in sme areas and leads, fr example, t yu having t intrduce auxiliary cmpany cdes t prtray the rganizatinal mdel. Frm Release 4.72, the respnsible cmpany cde is replaced by the fllwing three new entities: Cmpany cde grup The cmpany cde grup includes all cmpany cdes that are permitted fr psting t a cntract accunt. One cmpany cde grup is assigned t each cntract accunt. Cmpany cde grups can verlap. This means, fr example, yu can have a grup G1 that cnsists f cmpany cdes 0001, 0002, and 0003, and grup G2 that cnsists f 0001 and Paying cmpany cde Exactly ne paying cmpany cde is always assigned t each cmpany cde grup. A paying cmpany cde is respnsible fr payment transactins. Yu have t define huse banks and payment methds fr paying cmpany cdes. Several cmpany cde grups can have the same paying cmpany cde. The paying cmpany cde des nt have t be in the cmpany cde grup itself. Standard cmpany cde One standard cmpany cde is assigned t every cntract accunt. Yu use the standard cmpany cde fr all pstings fr which n cmpany cde can be determined by ther means (fr example, fr payments n accunt). Transitin frm Respnsible Cmpany Cde t the New Entities The cnversin f the respnsible cmpany cdes t cmpany cde grups and paying cmpany cdes takes place autmatically during the first check (cntract accunt r dcument) where yu check the validity f a cmpany cde grup r where the cmpany cde grup is a prerequisite. Fr each respnsible cmpany cde, the system creates a cmpany cde grup with the same key. The cmpany cdes that were previusly assigned t the respnsible cmpany cde are assigned t this cmpany cde grup. The respnsible cmpany cde is assigned as the paying cmpany cde fr the grup. This ensures cntinuity fr the existing rganizatinal mdel. The name f the respnsible cmpany cde is taken as the name fr the cmpany cde grup. Since the new name is language-dependent, it is autmatically created in all languages used in the installatin. The languages are determined empirically by analyzing the dcument type texts. SAP AG 1

6 Changes t the Cntract Accunts Fr new cntract accunts, the cmpany cde grup and standard cmpany cde are mandatry requirements. Fr existing cntract accunts, yu can use cnversin reprt RFKKSTDBK t add the standard cmpany cde. The standard cmpany cde receives the value f the frmer respnsible cmpany cde. Yu can cnvert the cntract accunts in stages yu d nt have t cnvert them all at nce. The system handles accunts that yu have nt yet cnverted as if yu had cnverted them. Changes t Checks in Cntract Accunts The validity f certain fields was previusly cupled t the cmbinatin with the cuntry f the respnsible cmpany cde. The fllwing changes have ccurred in these checks: The cuntry frm the paying cmpany cde f the cmpany cde grup is used fr: - Payment methds - Own bank details The cuntry f the standard cmpany cde is used fr: - Withhlding tax cdes - Regin - Cunty cde - Tax exemptins Restrictins fr Cmpany Cde Grups Using the new event 1010, yu can check whether a cmpany cde grup is permitted in a cntract accunt. This enables yu t prevent, fr example, that crss-cuntry grups (in certain cntract accunts) are used. Authrizatin Check In the authrizatin bject F_KKVK_BUK, the respnsible cmpany cde was used fr the check in the master data maintenance. The standard cmpany cde is nw used instead. Payment Prgram Yu can als specify the paying cmpany cde in a business partner item. In this case, this specificatin verrides the paying cmpany cde determined via the cmpany cde grup f the cntract accunt. If a paying cmpany cde specified in the line item is in a different cuntry t the paying cmpany cde determined via the cntract accunt, yu als have t specify a payment methd in the line item. In this case yu cannt use the payment methds frm the cntract accunts since they refer t a different cuntry. In the parameters fr the payment run/debit mem run, yu restrict the cmpany cdes t be prcessed. All relevant cmpany cde grups and their paying cmpany cdes are determined fr the cmpany cdes internally. If these are in different cuntries, the cuntry f the payment run must be assigned via a different parameter. In a payment run, yu can still nly create payments fr ne cuntry. Effects n Custmizing Yu define the cmpany cde grups in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Organizatinal Units -> Define Cmpany Cde Grups. SAP AG 2

7 Yu assign the cmpany cdes t the grups under Organizatinal Units -> Assign Cmpany Cdes t Cmpany Cde Grups. 2.2 Master Data Changing the Bank Data f a Business Partner With the new transactin Maintain Payment Data (FPP4) (see SAP menu: Master Data -> Business Partner), yu can: Create new bank details Change existing bank details Delete existing bank details Create new payment cards Change existing payment card details Create custmer cntacts Print cnfirmatin letters This makes changing business partner-related bank data much easier. In the transactin Maintain Payment Data, yu can, fr example, change the bank details f a custmer wh changes frm being a cash payer t a direct debit payer simultaneusly in the business partner master recrd and in dependent bjects, such as the cntract accunt. Yu can als cntrl fllw-up actins, such as reversing dunning ntices, by means f flexible rules. If yu set the indicatr Create Bank ID in the client-specific settings in Custmizing, in event 1053 yu can determine new bank details ID fr the business partner cncerned. If yu set the indicatr Create Credit Card ID in the client-specific settings in Custmizing, in event 1054 yu can determine a new payment card ID fr the business partner cncerned. With a functin mdule prcessed in event 1083 yu can make further changes t the cntract accunt when yu save the data. In this event, yu can, fr example, change the field Psting Cntrl Grup in the cntract accunt if a custmer changes frm being a cash payer t a direct debit payer. Effects n Custmizing Yu make specificatins fr changing bank data in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functins -> Cntract Partner -> Changes t Payment Transactins in the fllwing activities: Client-Specific Settings Cmpany Cde-Specific Settings Define Prcessing Variants Define Rules fr Fllw-Up Actins SAP AG 3

Yu define event mdules under Prgram Enhancements -> Define Custmer-Specific Functin Mdules. 2.3 Accunt Balance Display Restrictin f Item Selectin If yu select the buttn Perid fr Item Selectin (F7) n the initial screen f the accunt balance display, yu can restrict the perid that the system uses fr selecting the items in the accunt balance. Cntext Menu in the Accunt Balance Yu can call up a cntext menu by clicking n the right muse buttn when the cursr is n an item in the accunt balance. In events 1247 and 1248, yu can adjust the functins f the cntext menu t meet yur requirements r add t them. Effects n Custmizing Define the required functin mdules fr events 1247 and 1248 in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Prgram Enhancements -> Define Custmer-Specific Functin Mdules. 2.4 Installatin-Specfic Functin Mdules (changed) New Events 0063: Include Dcument in Cllective Bill 0086: Industry Gruping Key fr Runding 0104: Clearing: Arrears Surcharges 0113: Clearing: Transactin fr Payment n Accunt 0175: Accunt Assignment Derivatin fr Tax Items in PS-CD 0211: Payment Lts: Prpse Key fr New Lt 0222: Payment Lt: Include Screen fr Custmer Fields 0232: Payment Lt: Additinal Data fr Item 0254: Payment Reversal f Lcked Checks SAP AG 4

This has the fllwing affect n the functin mdules that yu have already entered as installatin-specific functin mdules: If yu have defined the functin mdule FMCA_EVENT_FM_1102 as an installatin-specific functin mdule, this mdule is replaced by the standard mdule FKK_EVENT_FM_1102 and must be remved s that the same surce text is nt run twice. If yu have defined the functin mdule FKK_FM_SAMPLE_0032 installatin-specific functin mdule, yu have t remve it because it is a standard functin mdule frm this release n. Deleted Events Events 0161, 1706, and 1707 are n lnger available. Effects n Custmizing Yu define installatin-specific functin mdules in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Prgram Enhancements -> Define Custmer-Specific Functin Mdules. 2.5 Requests Printing Requests Yu can print requests and standing requests as f Release All header data n the request and all request items with additinal infrmatin n the business partners and cntract accunts are available fr SAP AG 7

12 the printut f a request. All executin dates and special dates are als available fr the printut f standing requests. Generatin and printut ccur with events 0766: Print Request and 0767: Generate Request Printut with crrespndence 0039 Request; crrespndence type 0039 uses frm class FI_CA_REQUEST. SAP prvides sample frm FI_CA_REQUEST_SAMPLE_SF. Entering Ntes Yu can enter ntes fr requests and standing requests. If yu generate dcuments frm requests, the ntes are cpied ver int the ntes n the dcuments. Business Blcks Yu can set the clearing blck fr request items payment/dunning/ interest and clearing blcks that are cpied int the dcuments when the dcuments are generated. Yu can enter a blck reasn and validity perid fr each request item and blck. Entering Dcuments fr each Request Item If yu create requests with lts f lines and in sme circumstances several business partners and cntract accunts, this can cause quite a number f dcuments that can n lnger be represented clearly. Fr this reasn, yu can nly generate dcuments frm requests and standing requests fr each request item. Yu define the crrespnding specificatins fr requests fr each request categry in Custmizing. Multi-Level Cntrl Yu can als enter requests and standing requests with a tax cde that cntains several tax rates. The calculated tax amunt that is displayed in the request item is determined frm the ttal f amunt f the individual tax rates. Classificatin Key in Request Items Yu can enter the new field Classificatin Key in the request items if yu have activated the standard enhancement fr the classificatin key. As the classificatin key is a header field f the dcument yu can nly enter different classificatin keys in a request if yu generate dcuments fr each request item. Displaying Requests in Accunt Balance By defining crrespnding functin mdules fr events 1203, 1209 and 1211 yu can display requests and standing requests in accunt balance. SAP prvides functin mdules FKK_EVENT_1203_REQUEST, FKK_EVENT_1209_REQUEST and FKK_EVENT_12011_REQUEST fr this that yu can define fr the events mentined r use as templates fr yur wn functin mdules. BAPIs fr Prcessing Requests In the future yu will be able t use BAPIs t prcess requests and standing requests (see release infrmatin BAPIs). Apprving Requests Until nw yu culd nly apprve requests thrugh wrkflw. As f Release 4.72 yu can apprve requests using a wrklist. Yu define which classes and categries f requests shuld be apprved thrugh a wrklist in Custmizing. Event 5510 was enhanced fr a custmer-specific differentiatin between apprval by wrklist r by wrkflw. Yu can als suppress the entry f an apprval reasn fr event 5510 when starting the wrkflw. SAP AG 8

13 Effects n Custmizing T generate dcuments fr each request item, set the indicatr Dcument fr each item in the IMG f Cntract Accunts Receivables and Payable, under Basic Functins -> Requests -> Dcument Creatin -> Define Specificatins fr Dcument Creatin. Yu define which requests shuld be apprved per request class, request categry, r dcument type thrugh a wrklist in the IMG f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable, under Basic Functins -> Requests -> Define Settings fr Apprving Requests. 2.6 General Requests (enhanced) As f Release 4.72, there are a number f additinal functins available fr prcessing requests. The new functins listed in the release infrmatin fr requests are als available fr general requests. In additin, yu can set whether the system shuld assign the general requests using the cntract bject r the classificatin key fr incming and utging payments. Effects n Custmizing As f this release, yu define the specificatins fr clearing dcuments in general requests in the implementatin guide f Cntract Accunting under Basic Functins -> Requests -> General Request -> Define Specificatins fr Clearing Dcuments fr General Requests and n lnger under Basic Functins -> Requests -> Dcument Creatin -> Define Specificatins fr Clearing Dcuments fr General Requests. Yu nw set the indicatr that defines that dcuments generated frm general requests are nt autmatically cleared under Basic Settings -> Requests -> General Request -> Basic Settings fr General Requests nt under Basic Settings -> Requests -> Dcument Creatin -> Define Basic Settings fr Dcument Generatin. Nte that yu have t reset the indicatr after an upgrade. In this IMG activity yu als set the indicatr that general requests shuld be assigned using the classificatin key in incming and utging payments. T make assignments using the classificatin key, yu als have t define the functin mdule FMCA_EVENT_TFK113E_03_OPORD as a prgram enhancement fr all clearing types used. Yu can d this in the implementatin guide f Cntract Accunting under Basic Functins -> Open Item Management -> Clearing Cntrl -> Define Specificatins fr Clearing Types in the IMG activity Define Specificatins fr Incming Payments. 2.7 Clsing Operatins Summarizatin Accunts and Summarizatin Cmpany Cdes fr Reclassificatins Yu can nw display reclassificatins fr a grup f accunts r cmpany cdes - previusly, yu culd SAP AG 9

14 nly display the reclassificatins in the balance f ne receivables r payables accunt f a business partner within a cmpany cde. Summarizatin accunts are required fr key date-related pen items whse receivables and payables accunts are displayed in ne item in the financial statements (fr example, same type f legal transactin fr several utility prvider divisins in the case f different receivables accunts per divisin). Summarizatin cmpany cdes are required where cmpany cdes are in the legal entity that has t create the financial statements (fr example, cnslidated financial statements). See the release infrmatin fr Freign Currency Valuatin and Evaluatin f Open Items. Effects n Custmizing Summarizatin Accunts and Summarizatin Cmpany Cdes fr Reclassificatins Yu make the specificatins fr reclassificatin by summarizatin cmpany cdes and accunts in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Clsing Operatins -> Reclassificatins. 2.8 Integratin with Funds Management (new) As f Release 4.72 yu can use Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable integrated with cmpnent Funds Management (PSM-FM). Funds Management was nly released fr industry-specific cmpnent Public Sectr Cntract Accunt Receivable and Payable until nw. As f Release 4.72, Funds Management is released fr Utilities Industry, all ther industry-specific cmpnents can use Funds Management with a pilt prject. Prerequisites fr the Integratin In rder t be able t maintain data fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable in Funds Management, yu must: Activate Funds Management in Custmizing (see Activate/Deactivate Funds Management) Define functin mdule FKK_EVENT_FM_1102 (FM Integratin: Accunt Assignment Derivatin) with event 1102 SAP prvides this functin mdule as a standard functin mdule. If Funds Management is nt active, the functin mdule will nt run. If yu want t use the cmpnent Fund Accunting, yu must define functin mdule FKK_FM_SAMPLE_0032 (Fund Accunting: Supplementing Dcument Items) with event SAP prvides this functin mdule as standard functin mdule. If Fund Accunting is nt active, the functin mdule is nt run. Restrictins Nte that Funds Management des nt supprt the update f all pstings fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable. See SAP nte fr a list f restrictins. Activating FM Accunt Assignments in Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable SAP AG 10

15 All relevant tables and structures f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable must be enhanced with the rganizatinal unit f Funds Management, the FM area FM Area and the fllwing Funds Management accunt assignment elements: Cmmitment item Funds center Fund Functinal area Funded prgram Nte that yu cannt use the accunt assignment element Grant f cmpnent Public Sectr Management at the mment. The exceptin t this is the dcument tables f the business partner and G/L items and their cunterparts fr sample dcuments. In the interest f perfrmance in systems in which Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable is nt used in cnnectin with Funds Management, the FM accunt assignment fields are nt included in tables DFKKOP and DFKKOPK. If yu want t cnnect Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable t Funds Management, yu must activate Funds Management in the IMG f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable. On activatin, the FM accunt assignment fields are included in the tables mentined autmatically. SAP prvides crrespnding Custmer includes fr the integratin f FM accunt assignment fields. Fr mre infrmatin, see the dcumentatin n activity Activate FM Table Fields fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable in Custmizing. Fields fr FM expenditure and revenue accunt assignment were als included in the business partner items in rder t imprve perfrmance. As such, the dcument fr the FM accunt assignment must display zer balance fr an invice. The FM infrmatin is available immediately fr clearing. FM Accunt Assignment Lgic fr Autmatically Generated Dcs T derive FM accunt assignments in autmatically generated dcuments (fr example, charge pstings), yu must define derivatin rules in Custmizing. The system can derive the FM accunt assignments assigned autmatically frm the cntract accunt, main and subtransactin. Yu can als use the derivatin rules t determine default values fr entering dcuments manually and entering requests. Enhancing Cash Security Depsits Yu can als enter an FM accunt assignment when creating Cash Security Depsits. Cmmitment Item, Fund, Funds Center and Functinal Area are ready fr input n the prcessing screen. If yu d nt enter any FM accunt assignment, the system derives these autmatically frm the rules defined. The derivatin als takes place autmatically with the migratin f Cash Security Depsits. Enhancements fr Dubtful Areas and Individual Placings The psting data is supplied autmatically with the FM accunt assignment fr the tw business transactins. All ther FM accunt assignment data, apart frm the cmmitment item is passed n thrugh the riginal dcument. The system determines the cmmitment item based n event 1750Make Defined Installatin-Specific Functin Mdule with Tax Adjustment. This ensures that the FM accunt assignment is adjusted accrdingly. Enhancement with Psting f Delayed Revenue The system cpies the FM accunt assignment autmatically frm the riginal dcument int the delayed revenue psting. In rder t use this functin, yu must include structure IFKKFMOBJ in table SAP AG 11

16 FKKDEFREV. Updates in Funds Management The update f FM dcument data takes place at the same time as the transfer f ttal recrds t Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable int the general ledger (DFI-GL) with prgram RFKKGL00 (see SAP menu: Peridic Prcessing -> Frward Pstings -> Execute -> Transfer t General Ledger). The update f payments and ther clearing transactins take place autmatically in Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable. The system updates all clearings and clearing reversals as well as invices and payments n accunt nline in the ttals tables f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable. Effects n Custmizing Yu define the settings fr Funds Management in the IMG f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Integratin -> Funds Management (PSM-FM). Define FM accunt Assignment Derivatin Yu define the FM accunt assignment derivatins in the activity Define FM Accunt Assignment Derivatin. Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable uses the derivatin strategy frm Funds Management by default (see the IMG f Funds Management) Gvernment Master Data -> Allcatins t Accunt Assignments frm Other Cmpnents -> Define Accunt Assignment Derivatin). If yu want t use yur wn derivatin strategy in Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable, yu must set the indicatr Derivatin Strategy f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable in maintenance view TFK_FMDERIVSTRAT. T d this, call the view n this using transactin SM30. Hwever, nte that the derivatin strategy f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable is n lnger supprted. Fund Accunting If yu want t use Fund Accunting, yu must activate the Fund in the IMG f Public Sectr Management under Basic Settings -> Activate Accunt Assignment Elements. Yu can als read the activatin status in the IMG f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable in activity Activatin Status f Fund Accunting. When the fund is active the system generates additinal clearing lines that ensure that the balance is cleared fr each dcument and cmpany cde. Define G/L accunt fr the fund clearing in activity Define Accunts fr Fund Clearing. 2.9 Integratin with Funds Management (changed) This release infrmatin is fr custmers wh already implement integratin f the cmpnent Cntract Accunting with the cmpnent Funds Management (PSM-FM). Custmers implementing this integratin fr Release 4.72 fr the first time shuld read the Release Infrmatin fr First Implementatin. Define FM Accunt Assignment As f Release 4.72, the FM accunt assignment is determined using the derivatin strategy f Funds SAP AG 12

17 Management and n lnger using the Cntract Accunting derivatin strategy. If yu want t cntinue t use the derivatin strategy f Cntract Accunting (transactin FMCADERIVE), yu have t set the indicatr Derivatin Strategy f Cntract Accunting in the maintenance view TFK_FMDERIVSTRAT. Call up the view using transactin SM30. Hwever, yu must nte that the derivatin strategy f Cntract Accunting is n lnger supprted. Fund Accunting If yu already implement integratin with Funds Management, but nly want t use Fund Accunting frm 4.72, read the infrmatin fr Custmizing in the Release Infrmatin fr First Implementatin.

Yu can use event 2404 t prcess header segment data. Yu can als change the standard prcessing by defining the standard segment E1FKK_EBS_TOI_HEADER in Custmizing. Fr example, yu can change the field BLART r AWTYP. In event 2404, yu can als create the bject relatins between dcuments via the interface T_FKKOPREL. By defining a custmer- r prject-specific segment yu can transfer the additinal data cntained therein, fr example, the classificatin key, t the dcument header. The ptinal field DOC_TYPE (dcument type) has been added t the segment SAP AG 13

18 E1FKK_EBS_TOI_HEADER. With this segment yu can verride the dcument type defined in the interface Custmizing at dcument level. Maintaining Object Relatins at Item Level The maintenance f bject relatins (interface T_FKKOPREL) has been added t event This means that yu can nw fill the bject relatins at dcument item level frm a custmer- r prject-specific ITEM additinal segment.

SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr enables a debt recvery prcessr t have a cmplete verview f the custmer (fr example, a tax payer) and helps them t carry ut the required actins. SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr prvides the fllwing benefits fr yur rganizatin: High-cst interfaces and recnciliatin with external prcedures n lnger need t be maintained. External systems are ften used t handle debt recvery cases and their integratin with the recvery prcedure is unsatisfactry r expensive. SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr ffers fully integrated, seamless handling f cllectin activities. Debt recvery emplyees are able t wrk mre efficiently as they nly have t pst accunting data nce. Receivables and payments are integrated fully int recvery case in the frm f an accunt verview and d nt have be transferred t external systems. The same applies t additinal interest and dunning charges. All data relevant t recvery f a debt (custmer, pen receivable) can be entered in a debt recvery case and accessed by the prcessr. N time is lst lking thrugh files. The prcessr simply has t check the status f the debt recvery cases t get a cmplete verview f utstanding receivables. SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr is anther mdule f efficient handling f enfrced payment cllectin fr gvernment agencies. This is in additin t existing dunning activities, such as dunning ntices, interest and dunning charge calculatin, telephne dunning lists, SAP AG 14

19 canceling installment plan agreements, transfers t an external debt recvery cllectin pint, and s n. Frms such as an executin ntice can be printed frm the debt recvery case and integrated in the case. SAP enables yu t define crrespndence templates that add the required tax payer data (name, address, and s n) at the time f printut. Effects n Custmizing Custmizing fr SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr is in tw systems: in the system in which Cntract Accunting (Financial Accunting) is installed in the system in which SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr is installed Befre yu start defining the Custmizing in Cntract Accunting that is required fr the integratin with SAP Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr, yu must have cmpleted the Custmizing fr Debt Recvery Management fr Public Sectr in the ther system Integratin Event 4030: Determinatin f SD/FI-CA Transactin Befre the upgrade frm Release 4.6* t Release 4.7*, yu have t clse all f the recnciliatin keys in the ld system and transfer the pstings t the General Ledger and Prfitability Analysis (CO-PA). Event 4030 has been intrduced t determine the main and subtransactin f an FI-CA dcument during the transfer f an SD billing dcument. In this event yu have access t all f the infrmatin in an SD billing dcument, which means that a mre detailed transactin determinatin is pssible here in cntrast t Custmizing. With the new event 4040 yu can restrict the selectin f cntract accunts when yu create/change an SD rder. In the SD dcument flw, FI-CA dcuments that have already been archived are als displayed nw. Transfer f Ttals Recrds t the General Ledger (Reprt RFKKGL00) Errrs in the transfer f FI-CA ttals recrds t the general ledger n lnger lead t a prgram terminatin. Frm Release 4.72, reprt RFKKGL00 cntinues the transfer with the next cmpany cde and lgs the errrs in the spl list. There yu can check the cmpleteness f the transfer. Integratin f FI-CA with SAP Credit Management With SAP Credit Management yu can manage liabilities and scres fr a business partner. The central Credit Management server manages infrmatin frm different systems, such as CRM, Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA), and Accunts Receivable Accunting (FI-AR), and carries ut peratinal credit queries. The use f the interface technlgy f the Exchange Infrastructure means that yu can als cnnect external systems t SAP Credit Management. FI-CA nw has an interface fr transferring credit infrmatin frm SAP Credit Management. The FI-CA dcument interfaces (reprt RFKKBIB0, BAPI, IDc interface) supprt the transfer f the SAP AG 15

20 partner message ID fr SAP Credit Management. This transfer guarantees the synchrnizatin f the liability update ver several systems. In FI-CA there are mass activities fr the fllwing activities: Sending the liability fr a business partner t SAP Credit Management Sending an FI summary t SAP Credit Management Replicatin f the scre in SAP Credit Management FI-CA als supprts the liability query fr the nline credit check in SAP Credit Management. Yu can influence the prgram flw in the fllwing events: 4500: Add FI Summary 4501: Filter Open Items fr Liability Determinatin 4502: Determinatin f Liability Categry Fr a descriptin f the integratin f industry-specific prcesses, see the release infrmatin fr the crrespnding industry cmpnents. Effects n Custmizing Yu cnfigure SAP Credit Management in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Integratin -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Credit Management. In rder fr the internal prcesses f Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable (fr example, creditwrthiness) t derive the data frm SAP Credit Management, yu have t activate Credit Management here. In the activity Define Specificatins fr Credit Management, yu define the default values, such as the interest rate fr the liability subject t interest and the liability categry. The credit segments that yu enter in the activity Maintain Credit Segments must agree with thse f SAP Credit Management. There the credit segments are used t split the liability int different areas (fr example, cuntry A and B). In the activity Assign Open Items t Credit Segments, yu use the parameters Psting Area, Divisin, Accunt Determinatin ID, and Business Area t decide which credit segment an pen item is t be assigned t Cnnectin f SAP Dispute Management t Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable Frm Release 4.72, yu can create and manage cmplaints (disputes) frm yur business partners with regard t incrrect invices and credits r missing invices and credits as dispute cases in a dispute system as part f SAP Dispute Management. These dispute cases cntain attributes, such as the reasn fr the cmplaint, the pririty, the disputed amunt, the clerk respnsible fr reslutin, and cntact data f the business partner. During the prcessing f the dispute case, yu can trigger functins such as the SAP AG 16

21 reversal f an invice, write-ffs, and pstings f invice-related credits. Frm the dispute case yu can display the fllw-n pstings fr the case. T get an verview, yu can display a list with all dispute cases fr a business partner r dcument. Definitin f terms used Dispute System FI-CA System Dispute Case Case Type The system in which the dispute cases are created and managed. The system in which Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable runs. The cmplaint f the business partner as bject t be managed in SAP Dispute Management. The dispute case cntains attributes such as the amunt, data abut the status f prcessing and fr categrizing the dispute as well as, in the recrd, a list f related bjects t which the case references (fr example, dcument, invice business partner, cntract, cntract accunt). The fllwing case types are differentiated: - FICA: Incrrect invice, incrrect credit - FCA2: Missing payment The case types are differentiated by their attributes. A dispute case f the case type Missing Payment describes, fr example, the case when a custmer cmplains abut a dunning ntice that was executed despite payment having been made. The clerk's jb is t find this payment, which may have been incrrectly assigned, and ptentially reassign it and then clse the case. With a dispute case f the case type Incrrect Invice, the custmer has cmplained SAP AG 17

22 abut an incrrect invice amunt. Here the clerk has t check the amunt and trigger any adjustment pstings, such as reversals, write-ffs, r credits. Internal Dispute Type Internal categrizatin f a dispute case that each dispute case must have. Since the system behaves differently in different case types, and each custmer can create installatin-specific case types, an internal categrizatin (assignment) is necessary. Thus, the dispute type A001, fr example, is an incrrect invice, and dispute type B001 is a missing payment. Creating Dispute Cases Dispute cases are created frm the dispute system. Hwever, yu can als create dispute cases in the FI-CA system. In the dcument display, yu can use the functin Create Dispute Case t create a dispute case. A dialg bx appears, where yu can set the default values defined fr event Fr a sample frm f event 1250, see sample functin mdule FKK_SAMPLE_1250. The specificatin f a business partner is mandatry in each dispute case; the specificatin f a cntract accunt and cntract is ptin and determines the level f detail f the dispute case. The system includes the dcument displayed as a disputed dcument in the case. The data and amunts f the dcument are used t determine the default values. Dispute cases are nly created at dcument level, nt at line item level. Yu can create several dispute cases fr ne dcument. Yu can create a dispute case frm the accunt balance. This enables yu t create dispute cases withut an invice reference, fr example, fr cases f the type Missing Payment after Dunning Ntice. The same dialg bx appears fr creating the case. Enter the amunt specified by the custmer as paid as the disputed amunt; then assign the case t a business partner. When yu create a dispute case, the system prpses cntact data f the cntact persn, such as name and address frm the address data f the business partner; yu can verwrite this data. Displaying Dispute Cases In the dcument display, yu can use the functin Display Dispute Case t display invice-related dispute cases. Hwever, this functin is nly active if such a dispute case exists. If, fr example, yu have SAP AG 18

23 entered varius disputed partial amunts fr varius reasns, yu can simultaneusly create several dispute cases fr ne dcument. If there are several dispute cases fr ne dcument, the system first displays an verview f all cases, and there yu can select the case yu want t display. If yu create a new dispute case fr a dcument fr which a dispute case already exists, the system ntifies yu f this befre sending the dialg fr creating a case. In the accunt balance yu can display an icn n which yu can duble-click t display a dispute case. T d this, include the field IDISP (placehlder fr icn Dispute Case) in a line layut variant fr items whse dcument number is included in a dispute case. Yu als have t set the indicatr Field-Sensitive Duble-Click in the settings. With the functin Envirnment -> Accunt -> Dispute Case -> Display in the menu f the accunt balance display, yu can display a list f all f the dispute cases fr the business partner/cntract accunt. With reprt RFKKDM00 yu can select dispute cases acrss all business partners and cntract accunts. This reprt prvides additinal selectin ptins t the master data. Changing Dispute Cases When yu display a dispute case yu can use the functin Change t switch the mde and therefre change a dispute case. Hwever, frm the FI-CA system yu can nly change the disputed amunt. With case type Incrrect Invice, yu can include additinal dcuments in the dispute case. With the case type Missing Payment, the payments received since the creatin f the dispute case are listed n the lwer part f the screen. The system nly adds the payment amunts psted in the dispute case via the payment lt as ptential candidates fr the missing payment, since yu can assume that payments psted by the payment prgram cannt be #missing#. Frm this list f payments yu can create ne r mre payments, identify them as missed, and assign them t the dispute case. The case can then be clsed in the dispute system. In the dispute system, an amunt field with the ttal f all ptentially suitable payments received since the creatin f the case is managed befre the assignment f the payment fund. With the assignment f the payment fund, the dcument number f this payment and the identificatin f the related payment lt are included in the case. By duble-clicking n these bjects in the case yu can display the payment dcument r the payment lt item. With the case type Missing Credit, yu can list the credits psted since the creatin f the dispute case, identify them and assign them t the case. Only the amunts f the credits that fulfill the fllwing criteria are added in the dispute case: They are nt statistical They are nt dwn payments They were nt psted by the payment run They were nt psted with the main/subtransactin defined in psting area 0113 fr psting payments n accunt Fllw-On Pstings fr Dispute Case Fllw-n pstings fr dispute cases are reversals, write-ffs, credits (invice adjustments), and the psting f replacement receivables. In these pstings, the crrespnding amunt fields are updated in the relevant dispute cases autmatically. With the exceptin f the case type Missing Payment, incming payments are nt autmatically lgged fllw-n pstings. Fr example, in the case f an underpayment f an invice, a dispute case is nt created autmatically fr the residual pen amunt. Dispute cases are generally independent f the existence f pen items and are nt tied t the clearing r partial clearing f SAP AG 19

24 pen items. Yu can als pst invice-related credits (invice adjustments) r replacement receivables with transactin FPE1 - if, fr example, yu reverse an incrrect invice and then pst the crrected invice. T d this, enter the dcument number t which the adjustment/replacement receivable refers n the initial screen f the transactin. Yu can als enter such pstings with reference t a dispute case. In this case yu have t enter the case ID (external identificatin f the case). The input help shws yu the cases fr the business partner, and yu can select a case. Yu can als call up the transactins fr reversals and write-ffs in the case display f the dispute system. The dispute system calls up the crrespnding transactin in the FI-CA system. Yu can then cmplete the data and pst the dcument. Hwever, the transactins shuld nly be called up in the display f dispute cases in the dispute system, since the amunts (fr example, amunt written ff) f the case culd be changed during the update. Lcked dispute cases cannt therefre be updated and yu have t subsequently pst the crrespnding IDc in this situatin. Integratin in the Payment Run If an pen dispute case exists, yu can reduce the amunt t be cllected frm a business partner by the disputed amunt. Yu can make the lgic f the reductin dependent n the status, the pririty, the cmplaint reasns, and whether the dispute case is an invice-related dispute case r a dispute case withut invice reference. The reductin therefre makes mre sense fr the cllectin f an invice fr which there is exactly ne invice-related dispute case than fr the cllectin f the first randm item t be cllected where the dispute case has n invice reference. In rder t be able t make these decisins flexibly, yu can define yur prcess lgic fr event Fr a cmmented example, see the sample mdule FKK_SAMPLE_0610_DISPUTE. Effects n Custmizing Activating Dispute Management Yu have t activate the integratin f SAP Dispute-Management with Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) at cmpany cde level in the FI-CA system. T d this, set the activity Dispute in the activity Set Up Cmpany Cdes fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable in the Implementatin Guide fr Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable under Organizatinal Units Evaluatin f Open Items Currency Type and Currency Valuatin When yu enter a currency type n the selectin screen fr the Key Date-Related Open Item List (transactin FPO1), the reprt replaces the first lcal currency with a currency with this currency type. If yu als enter a valuatin variant and a valuatin key date, the reprt des nt display the riginal amunts f the items; instead, it displays the amunts calculated by the currency valuatin fr the valuatin key date.

25 2.15 Pstings and Dcuments Pstings and Dcuments: Classificatin Key as New Characteristic in Dcument The new attribute Classificatin Key has been added t the Cntract Accunts Receivable and Payable dcument and the request. The classificatin key prvides a similar functin t the reference number, but allws keys with a length f up t 35 characters. The classificatin key is an enhancement supprted in the system. This means that the attribute is nt initially active in the system delivered; yu have t activate it explicitly in yur installatin. Functins f the Classificatin Key The classificatin key Can be entered in the dcument header Is available as input field in the dcument display, dcument change, dcument reversal, and mass reversal, and yu can use this field t identify the required dcument(s) Is inherited in the business partner items and can be displayed in the accunt balance r in the prcessing f pen items Can be used as selectin criterin in the accunt balance, in the selectin f pen items (fr example, in the payment lt r in nline psting), and fr the write-ff r creatin f an installment plan Is a pssible selectin criterin in payment advice ntes fr incming payments Activating the Classificatin Key Yu activate the field Classificatin Key in Custmizing using a reprt that creates the required fields and database indexes. In test mde, the reprt shws which enhancements wuld be made. If the classificatin key is active and yu have psted dcuments with classificatin keys, the system administratr must update the database statistics fr table DFKKKO. This is the nly way t make sure that the new indexes are als used. If yu use requests, the same applies fr table DFKKORDERPOS. Deactivating the Classificatin Key Yu can deactivate the classificatin key but nly manually. T d this, yu have t remve the field OPORD frm the CI includes t which it was added. Yu then have t cnvert the database tables; this can invlve a lng runtime if there are a lt f data recrds affected. SAP therefre recmmends that yu weigh-up the use f the classificatin key and then adhere t this decisin.
