3.2.11 Real-Time Work in Process Posting
With this feature you can enable WIP reporting in real time. This utilises real-time WIP posting, in which the
production order WIP is posted based on the occurrence of certain events, such as goods issues, activity
confirmation, or to change order to technically completed. This eliminates the need to calculate work in
process, overhead calculation at month end, and makes WIP calculation up to date in real time by linking WIP
posting to business events.

Additional Details
This feature is a non-standard scope item, and if you use this scope item many of the traditional steps (as
described in scope BEI) of WIP calculation, and overhead calculation are no longer required. The current scope
is only valid for Make-to-stock scenario with production orders.
The Fiori apps Real-Time Work in Process and Inspect WIP/Variance Posting are used with this process.
The predelivered content involves the following steps:
1. Source Assignment Definition: Allows you to define the sources of production costs and Delivery cost. This
can be done by specifying Cost Elements.
2. Define Assignment Rules: In this step, you define the rules for account assignment for WIP posting.
3. Combine Source Elements and Posting Rules: You can combine the source assignments and the
assignment rules defined in the previous step with the posting rules and map to company code. This allows
you to specify which of the line items is the input for the posting rule.
4. Set Result Analysis Key RSEBW and Event Based Costing Sheet
Effects on Configuration
The current scope supports a Make-to-stock scenario with Production Order Type YBM1. The Real-Time WIP
report will display Make-to-stock Production Order of Order Type YBM1 under the following conditions:
● There are component raw materials issued to the production order.
● There are partial goods receipts posted on the semifinished and/or finished products, but as partial
confirmation and not yet the final confirmation/goods receipts, and not completely delivered yet.
● The order is not technically completed yet
Prerequisites
1. Change Result Analysis Key assignment for the selected Plant and Order Type
You need to change the RA Key assignment from MBMF01 - WIP Actual Cost to RSEBW - Event
Based WIP for the selected Plants and Order Type YBM1.

3.2.13 Inspect WIP/Variance Posting

Additional Details
Inspect WIP/Variance Posting supports both select single and multiple orders for WIP posting. With this
application, you can post WIP by choosing the schedule jobs for mass posting.
To ensure WIP posting is working correctly, you can simulate posting to check if the orders are ready for WIP.
The detailed check logic is as follows:
● You cannot post WIP in closed Financial Fiscal Period. The error message will be shown in the simulation
status.
● Order status is dependent on the period
● An error message will appear if relevant master data, such as order, is locked by another user when
simulating your posting.
● When WIP accounts or source of WIP are missing or incorrect, the error message will be showed in
simulation status.
● Posting WIP in the future period is not possible.
● Successful WIP orders will be shown in ' Posted Orders', not in 'Orders to Post'.
Error handling
With this app you can view and solve errors from real-time posting.
When business activities like goods movement or activity confirmation are in process , real-time WIP posting
might fail.
Real-time WIP posting must not stop the business actives. Instead, errors from real-time WIP posting are
recorded and will be shown in the app Inspect WIP/Variance Posting, so that you can view the error log details
to find out the root cause and solve it. There is only one error for each production order.

Verify General Journal Entries for Intercompany
Postings
In an intercompany posting across company codes, the system posts a separate journal entry with its own
journal entry number in each of the company codes. When it happens, the intercompany journal entry needs
verification and approval for all company codes involved. Only when all assigned processors approve the
general journal entry can it be posted to the General Ledger. If any processor rejects the entry, it must be
modified and submitted to go through the whole workflow again.

Displaying the Confidence Level of Machine Learning Proposals
In the Reconcile GR/IR Accounts app, you are processing purchase order items with different quantities or
amounts in invoice receipts or goods receipts that the system cannot clear automatically.
The machine learning service learns from decisions taken in the past and applies the learned knowledge to the
new business situation. The proposal service with machine learning automatically proposes next steps for
items that could not be matched, based on the status and situation of a purchase order item. Furthermore, it
proposes a priority for the action and a root cause for the difference. Now, you can also display the confidence
level of the machine learning proposals:
● You can display the confidence level in the purchase order items table as additional fields. Click on the
Settings icon  in the purchase order items table, where you can now display additionally the following
fields and the values that are shown in percent:
○ Status Proposal Confidence
○ Priority Proposal Confidence
○ Processing Department Proposal Confidence
○ Processor Proposal Confidence
○ Root Cause Proposal Confidence
● The confidence level in percent is also shown when you are highlighting one or more items in the purchase
order items table and process them by choosing Assign.

With this app you can display expected credit losses and the allowances for them based on existing data in your
system. Based on the selection criteria that you enter when you start the app, the app displays a real-time
snapshot of the expected credit losses and their allowances.
The app provides a reconciliation from the opening balance to the closing balance of the loss allowance in one
table that shows the changes for each risk class separately in the selected period.
Data are displayed in the app when you have carried out value adjustments from contract accounts receivable

SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902
Additional Details
The following changes are carried out automatically with the release upgrade:
● The local accounting principle (key LG) is replaced with a country-specific accounting principle (for
example, USAP for the USA).

PUBLIC
What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902
Finance
● In Asset Accounting, the existing configuration tables are swopped with a new set of configuration tables.
● The standard Cloud content delivered with the standard configuration settings is adjusted accordingly.
Permitted expert configuration (official customer adjustments) that is performed by the SAP Service
Center remains and will be converted accordingly, for the set of depreciation terms in the asset class, for
example (default values for depreciation keys and the useful life for each depreciation area and asset
class).
 Note
It is important that you use the standard Cloud content delivered or permitted expert configuration.
Otherwise complications could occur with the automatic adjustment of the Cloud content.
 Recommendation
We recommend that you test your daily business processes in the Q-system.
Effects on Existing Data
Posting logic is not affected at all by the above-mentioned changes, it remains the same. Asset master data is
not changed.
Effects on Configuration
The conversion of the configuration in Asset Accounting does not cause any semantic change; there is however
one exception: For company codes in the USA, there is a change when you create a fixed asset in the IFRS
valuation and in the central U.S. GAAP valuation: In order to fulfil the requirements of the mid-month
convention, there is now a different period control with 24 real calculation periods. Because of this, the system
proposes different depreciation keys than before, when you create a fixed asset. As a result of this, the system
calculates differently than before in these valuations. Existing fixed assets are not affected by this.
Until now in some country versions, the asset class default values for the IFRS valuation and for the central U.S.
GAAP valuation were different to the central standard. This was changed with this release. This change does
not affect any existing fixed assets.

Accounting [page 73].

3.3.2.2
Mid-Month Convention: Specifying Useful Life in
Asset Master Data
In order to fulfill the requirements of the mid-month convention, there is now a different period control with 24
real calculation periods.
As of release SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902, you have to take the new system behavior into account when
specifying the useful life in the asset master data.
Note: This information is relevant for all customers with active company codes in the country USA, but not for
customers who scoped US Corporate GAAP only.

Additional Details
For tax purposes, US-GAAP requires the calculation of depreciation to be based on 24 periods (mid-month
convention). In previous releases, SAP S/4HANA Cloud emulated this behavior albeit using a fiscal year variant
with 12 periods only.
Changed System Behavior
With SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902 however, the system behavior has changed and the fiscal year variant for
affected company codes has been automatically replaced by a new fiscal variant with 24 real periods (instead
of the previously used 12 periods). The change is only relevant for Asset Accounting; the fiscal year variant
used in the general ledger remains unchanged.
What You Need to Take into Account
The changed system behavior impacts several apps in Asset Accounting. Affected are those apps where you
need to specify the useful life in periods, i.e. apps where you create or change asset master data and apps
where you transfer legacy assets:
● Create Asset
● Create Asset Subnumber
● Change Asset
72
PUBLIC
What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902
Finance
● Create Asset Master Record – For Legacy Asset
● Create Asset Subnumber – For Legacy Asset
● Post Transfer Values – For Legacy Asset
● Migrate Data (S/4HANA migration cockpit), using Fixed Asset as migration object
Example:
In previous releases, you would have entered 4 years and 5 periods (representing 5 months) for the useful life;
now you have to enter 4 years and 10 periods instead.
Additional information:
If you plan on using a customer-specific fiscal year variant (such as 4-4-5), you need to consider doing the
following: Create a similar one with 24 periods (for asset accounting purposes only) which has the
corresponding period control data.

Additional Details
In the Group Consolidation View, the consolidation group is a flat list of the assigned consolidation units with
group-dependent attributes such as consolidation method, acquisition date, and divestiture date.
The Hierarchy Consolidation View is based on the hierarchies of consolidation units, profit centers, and
segments that are maintained in the Manage Global Accounting Hierarchies app.
Both views retrieve the same set of consolidated data, but based on different dimensions and with a specific
reporting logic described below. When generating a report for consolidated data, by specifying both
Consolidation Group and any relevant hierarchies, you can get a combined view.
With the new reporting logic introduced, two new analytical report apps are made available: Group Data
Analysis (New) and Group Data Analysis - With Reporting Rules (New). You use these reports to display a
Group Consolidation View, a Hierarchy Consolidation View, or a combined view by specifying the
corresponding values in the report Prompts.
In addition, the Display Group Journal Entries - With Reporting Logic app is also introduced to provide drillthrough capability from the above reports to group journal entries at line item level.
 Note
The new reporting logic and the associated reports/apps are only applicable to customers with an initial
release SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902. Customers with an initial release earlier than 1902 should continue
using the consolidated report apps made available in prior releases until a migration solution is available in
a future release.

The PCC postings (at posting levels 02, 12, and 22) are adjusted as follows:

● Revoke data for the periods when the consolidation unit is already divested (record type D)
● Revoke data when the consolidation unit is consolidated using Equity consolidation method (record type E)
● Other existing adjustments remain posted with record type 0.
In this way, the following new scenarios are supported:
● First consolidation at end of period
● Divestiture at beginning of period
With this change, the Integration of Data into Consolidation Group task is no longer needed and has been
removed from the Consolidation Monitor.
In addition to the PCC enhancements, the Define Reclassification Methods self-service configuration UI
(SSCUI) now combines Accounting Technique and Start/End Period settings to restrict the trigger data to the
correct period, for example, first consolidation at end of period or divestiture at beginning of period. For more

determines the required tax code via pricing by using the full tax rate indicator. For certain settlement
scenarios, however, the tax code determination has to follow different rules. Therefore, you can now specify an
alternative tax indicator for non-goods-related scenarios at process variant and company code level. This

Payment Process Using Treasury Payment Request Integration
● In the Treasury Workstation (SAP S/4HANA Cloud system), the Treasury Specialist - Front Office creates
the financial transactions.
 Note
The payment-relevant flows of the financial transaction can be paid using a payment request. Whether
a payment request needs to be created for payment flows is defined on the Payment Details tab within
the financial transaction data.
● The Treasury Specialist - Back Office settles the financial transactions.
● The Treasury Specialist - Back Office or the Treasury Accountant posts the flows using the Post Flows app
and triggers creation of the payment request. The payment request is created in the central Financial
Accounting component system either an SAP S/4HANA or an SAP ERP system.
● Payment requests are sent to the target system with IDoc. With this asynchronous communication, it is
possible to reprocess messages if there is an error.
● In the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, the Treasury Specialists cannot navigate to the payment request.
However, the status for the payment request shows the flow as paid or reversed as soon as the data
transfer was successful.
● The payment requests are paid in the central Financial Accounting component system.
● The data transfer from the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system to the central Financial Accounting component
system must be monitored in both the sending and the receiving systems. If errors occur, they must be
corrected
manually.
○ Sending SAP S/4HANA Cloud System
The SAP Application Interface Framework enables you to monitor the payment request outbound
service.
The monitoring is done using the Message Dashboard app available in the Message Monitoring group.
To monitor the messages, proceed as follows:
1. From the SAP Fiori launchpad, open the Message Dashboard app.
2. In the Calendar Monitor area, select the date range to view the messages triggered and then
choose Search.
3. In the Result List, you can see the messages for data replication under the namespace /FINAC and
then check the log details.

What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902
Finance
○ Receiving System of the Central Financial Accounting Component
You use the ALE Status Monitor (transaction BD87) to monitor the payment request outbound service.
Message types:
○ PAYMENTREQUEST_CREATE
○ PAYMENTREQUEST_CANCEL
● If the Treasury Specialist - Back Office reverses a financial transaction or a flow of the financial transaction,
the Treasury Accountant processes the business transactions using the Process Business Transactions
app. These reversals are automatically transferred to the central Financial Accounting component.
In the central Financial Accounting component, the payment requests are processed accordingly.
● Except for the creation and reversal of payment requests, there is no further communication between both
systems.
Effects on Configuration
● The SAP Cloud Connector is required. Create a communication arrangement for the SAP_COM_0200
Cloud Connector Integration communication scenario and set up the SAP Cloud Connector.
● You must enable the SAP_COM_0442 Finance – Treasury Payment Request Integration communication

Volatilities with Moneyness
Besides the existing exchange rate volatilities, you can now also enter volatilities with moneyness (also called
implicit volatilities). In the system, values for volatilities with moneyness are only used in the option price
calculators.
Volatilities with moneyness result from the option prices quoted on the market for a particular price parameter.
They reflect the expectations of the market for the future. The volatility with moneyness is usually not the same
across all terms of the option. In the same way as for the yield curve, it is more the case that there is a volatility
structure. Furthermore, where the terms are the same, the implied volatility depends upon the exercise price.
This behavior is called the smile effect.
The master data of the volatilities with moneyness are predefined. The volatility names and volatility profiles
are defined and assigned to each other. These profiles control the following volatility properties, which are used
to store the volatility.
● Term of the option
● Moneyness factor of the option
FX volatilities are quoted as a function of option delta. The moneyness is used to represent the option delta
(the predefined moneyness of the option is M:= Option Delta). Therefore, the value 0.25 in this field
expresses a call delta of 25%. To express a put delta of 25%, choose the value -0.25 or use the equivalent
call delta with the value 0.75.
If you want to calculate option prices based on the volatilities with moneyness, you must assign the volatility
names to the currency pairs. You use the new Volatilities with Moneyness - Assign Currency Pairs app for this
assignment. In addition, you must specify the volatility smile construction method in the evaluation type.
You can use the Volatilities with Moneyness - Enter Values app to enter the values. You can also use the Import
Market Data app or import the values using the datafeed.
Datafeed
New apps are available to assign datafeed notations for FX swap rates, security prices, exchange rate
volatilities, and general volatilities on SAP Fiori launchpad in the Market Data group:
● Assign FX Swap Rate Notations - Datafeed
● Assign Security Price Notations - Datafeed
● Assign Exchange Rate Volatility Notations - Datafeed
● Assign General Volatility Notations - Datafeed

lower limit (lower quota) and upper limit (upper quota) of a target quota band.
Due Date Shift
This feature enables you to hedge your planned exposures using hedging instruments that do not match the
period of the exposure exactly. By activating the due date shift function in the master data of the hedging area
for a specific hedging classification, you can hedge a planned exposure with a due date in period 11/2018 using
a hedging instrument with the due date 10/31/2018. In the Hedge Management Cockpit app, the hedging
138
PUBLIC
What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902
Finance
instruments with a due date in 10/2018 are displayed as hedges in the analysis items of 11/2018. Further, the
automated designation process considers the due date shift and searches for exposure items in the following
month.
● The due date shift is available for hedging areas with analysis item definition By Time Periods, reporting
time pattern Calendar-Related, and period length Monthly. You can activate the due date shift within the
hedging area master data for a specific hedging classification.
● The following types of due date shift can be applied:
○ BOMN1 - Beginning of Next Month
If you opt for this type, the end date of the hedged item and the value date of the hypothetical
derivative (representing the exposure) are shifted to the first day of the following month.
○ EOMN1 - End of Next Month
If you opt for this value, the end date of the hedged item and the value date of the hypothetical
derivative (representing the exposure) are shifted to the last day of the following month.
The due date shift allows you to report your hedging instruments in the Hedge Management Cockpit in the
month following the due date of the hedging instrument. This means that these hedging instruments are
used to hedge the exposure items of the following month.
For hedging classifications relevant to hedge accounting, the automated designation process considers the
due date shift and searches for exposure items in the following month. The end date of the hedged item
and the value date of the hypothetical derivative is either the first day or the last day of the month following
the due date of the hedging instrument.
 Note
The due date of the hedging instrument is not changed.
 Example
You have created hedging instruments in period 10/2018 with a total amount of 300,000 USD. If you
have defined the due date shift as BOMN1 in your hedging area, the hedging instruments with a total
amount of 300,000 USD are reported in period 11/2018, even though their due date is in 10/2018.
The hedged item gets 11/01/2018 as the end date, and the hypothetical derivative gets 11/01/2018 as
the value date.
 Note
The function needs to be activated in the master data of the hedging areas on the General Settings tab in
the Hedging Classification area.
Effects on Configuration
A new target quota type STQ - Target Limit Within Band Quota has been preconfigured for you so that you can
use the new target quota category Target Limit Within Band.

Organizational Changes in Treasury Ledgers
In Financial Accounting, ledgers and accounting principles have undergone a general restructuring. Due to
these changes, the valuation areas in Treasury and Risk Management need to be changed accordingly. As of
now, one valuation area represents one accounting principle (1:1). Instead of the existing valuation area 001,
one new valuation area is defined for each country-specific local accounting principle. The valuation areas need
to be assigned to the company codes (N:N). The valuation areas of the leading ledger are defined as the paying
valuation areas.
This restructuring necessitates a complex migration of Customizing settings, whereby the settings for the
valuation classes and the position management procedures in particular need to be adapted. In addition, your
existing application data needs to be converted in accordance with the new Customizing settings.
Therefore, an automatic migration is started during the system update from SAP S/4HANA 1811 to SAP S/
4HANA Cloud 1902.
The assignment of position management procedures to your existing treasury positions remains unchanged.
The general valuation classes and specific valuation classes have been changed.

Additional Details
Steps performed by the migration program:
1. Set up new Customizing
1. Read and analyze Customizing settings.
2. Define the valuation areas needed for local accounting principles and assign the accounting principles.
If valuation areas 002 or 003 already exist, assign the accounting principles. Delete valuation area 001.
3. Assign accounting principles to valuation area and accounting code.
4. Set the paying indicator for the valuation areas of the leading ledger.
5. Define general valuation classes.
6. Update valuation class assignment specific to the valuation area. Each accounting principle needs a
separate set of valuation classes and a separate set of PMPs (position management procedures) for
each financial instrument.
7. Define groups of general valuation classes and assign them to a combination of company code,
product type, and transaction type.
8. Update all Customizing settings specific to valuation areas.
2. Migrate application data
1. Replace valuation area 001 by the specific valuation area in all relevant application data tables.
2. Replace general valuation classes (GVCs) in application data.
3. Replace (specific) valuation classes in application data.

Technical Changes to the Basic Analysis Structure
With this feature, the predefined analysis structure used in the Risk Management functions has been updated
technically. It used to be a generic structure, but now it has been transformed into a static structure. The new
structure has the same appearance as the old structure, so you will not notice any differences.

Additional Details
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the analysis structure is delivered by SAP and cannot be changed. Consequently, this
change entails no changes in the functions. However, the technical change does influence the data, and
therefore an automatic migration is started during the system update to SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902. The
migration program replaces the generated tables with static tables for financial object analysis parameters and
for base portfolios with analysis parameters.
Steps performed by the migration program:
1. Get the active analysis structure ID.
2. Get the related generated table for the financial object characteristics.
3. Copy data from generated tables to the static tables for financial object characteristics.
4. Get the related generated tables for the base portfolios.
5. Copy data from the generated tables to static tables for base portfolio characteristics.
6. Set the number in the number range for base portfolios.
Effects on Existing Data

Available as of

Additional Details
If a product has been marked as relevant for compliance in the product master, the system checks dangerous
goods data when an internal sales representative saves a sales order or sales quotation. If an item in the sales
order or quotation has been classified as a dangerous good, the system also checks if all necessary dangerous
goods data is available, and whether transportation of the product is allowed, forbidden, or restricted.
If transport is not allowed from the departure country to the destination country, the system automatically
blocks the item and informs the internal sales representative about the issue.
If the dangerous good is not yet assessed, or the classification is not released, the item is blocked, and a
request is triggered so that the product stewardship specialist or dangerous goods expert can assess the data
for the product.
If transport is allowed under restricted conditions, the internal sales representative is informed that there are
restrictions, but the item can be processed further.

The scope item now includes the following:
● Partial confirmations for billing: The Service Order Confirmation can support cost assignment as and when
the costs accrue. This means that as soon as labor, expenses, or spare parts consumption arise, you can
send these as partial confirmations allowing update of costs against the respective service order line items.
● Fixed Price Services: You can support service orders with a fixed price. In this scenario, a fixed price for the
complete service job (covering labor, parts, and expenses) is agreed upon with the customer upfront. The
agreed fixed price is routed on to the invoice based on Service Order Completion and used for revenue
posting, whereas the actual costs are retrieved from the values entered in the Service Confirmation. In this
case, the service order, not the confirmation, is released for billing.

You can use the configuration steps Define Reasons for Approval Requests and Assign Reasons for Approval
Requests to define the reasons why sales quotations need to be approved (for example, whenever a net value is
higher than USD 1,000). With the Business Add-In (BAdI) Set Approval Request Reasons for Sales Documents,
you then define for which sales quotations this reason is valid. Whenever a sales quotation matches these
criteria, and the corresponding workflow has been set up, the system automatically blocks the sales quotation
and triggers an approval request. The approver can release the document, send the document back for rework,
or deny the approval. You can see the approval status of documents in the Manage Sales Quotation app and the
Sales Quotation object page. In the Sales Quotation object page, the approval request reason is also displayed.

Additional Details
When you manually create billing document requests by importing billing data in spreadsheet format, this
billing data can now also include credit items. The resulting billing document request will then include those
credit items. The credit item category G2N is always negative, so no preceding minus sign (-) is needed to
signify credit (rather than debit) for the corresponding condition rate value (field CONDITIONRATEVALUE) that
is imported.
Please note that the BDR credit item category G2N can only be used for the stand-alone billing of BDRs (with
preceding sales document type EO01). This means that BDRs containing credit items cannot be converged
with other preceding documents to create combined invoices.
Please also note that you cannot create credit memos on the basis of billing document requests. You can only
create invoices that contain credit items.

The custom data transfer routines themselves must be implemented as custom logic using the Business AddIn (BAdI) Custom Data Transfer for Billing Documents (SD_BIL_DATA_TRANSFER) in the Custom Fields and
Logic app. Note that each BAdI implementation must be assigned to a filter value that corresponds to the
enhancement implementation ID of the routine number that you define. This establishes the necessary
mapping between routine numbers and specific custom code implementations. For more information, see the
documentation of the respective configuration item in the Manage Your Solution app and the BAdI
documentation in the Custom Fields and Logic app.

Billing of Freight Costs - Integration with
Transportation Management
You can use this feature to integrate transportation management with billing. For transportation management
scenarios that are initiated from a sales document, this enables the freight costs of the freight order to be taken
into account when the corresponding billing document is created. The integration must be set up between the
transportation management, pricing, and billing processes, so that the freight costs can be added to the final
amount due.
A typical use case for this scenario is when you want to charge the buyer back for the freight cost incurred for
you as the seller. In effect, this allows the costs for delivery that are initially paid by the seller to be passed on to
the buyer by including them in the invoice for the sales transaction.

Billing Plans .
 Note
Using these configuration steps, you can assign a delivery block to billing plan type Baseline Milestone
Billing Plan (90). The system copies the delivery block to schedule lines when you create sales orders with
sales document item category Milestone Billing Plan (CBAO) together with billing plan type Baseline
Milestone Billing Plan. Based on the billing plan type, the system determines the delivery block for schedule
lines and blocks deliveries accordingly, with the following exceptions:
● When both the billing plan type and the schedule line category contain delivery blocks, the system does
not determine the delivery block from the billing plan type, but from the schedule line category instead.
If you want to use the delivery block from the billing plan type, you must manually remove the delivery
blocks from the schedule line category.
● The system does not remove or update the delivery block on schedule lines when you do one of the
following:

○ Delete the billing plan from the sales order
○ Change the sales document item category after sales order creation

reference number of the supplier. It usually identifies the person responsible for the purchasing
document in the supplier company.
○ The field CorrespncInternalReference at header level enables the transfer of your company's
internal reference number or code. It usually identifies the person responsible for the purchasing
document in your company.
○ The field InternationalArticleNumber at item level enables the transfer of the International
Article Number (EAN) for an ordered item.
○ The field EvaluatedReceiptSettlementIsAllowed at item level enables you to specify that
evaluated receipt settlement (ERS) or the automatic generation of invoices according to an invoicing
plan is possible for the ordered item. Prerequisite is that the supplier is enabled for ERS in your SAP S/
4HANA Cloud system.

item.
● To implement checks on data in specified fields, use the new Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Check Draft
Item of a PR in a Self-Service Scenario (MM_PUR_S4_SSPPR_CHK_DRAFT_ITEM).
● To set predefined values for specified fields during purchase requisition creation (such as material
number), use the new BAdI: Modify Draft Item in PR for Self-Service Scenario
(MM_PUR_S4_SSPPR_MOD_DRAFT_ITEM).
 Note
These BAdIs allow you to implement checks on fields for draft purchase requisitions. The checks can
be defined by you based on your business requirements. If data is entered which is inconsistent with
your custom logic, and the corresponding item is added to the shopping cart, then a system error is
generated. Purchase requisitions with these errors cannot be saved.
● To enhance mapping for specified fields, use the existing BAdI: Modify PR Data in Self-Service Requisition
Scenario with OCI 4.0 Data (MMPUR_OCI_TO_DRAFT_ITM_MAPPING). This BAdI has been modified to
enable enhanced mapping of additional fields to OCI data. Fields such as external Plant or Company code,
or other fields relevant for central purchase requisition scenarios, are now available for mapping from the
OCI structure.
● You can make the fields on the user interface of the Create Purchase Requisition app hidden, read-only,
mandatory, or optional as per your requirements. To modify the field control properties of different fields
that appear on the user interface, use the Custom Fields and Logic app to create and publish the Manage

systems, you could allocate each of them 100% of the target quantity, meaning the sum of the distribution
would be 500% of the target quantity of the central contract. Each purchasing organization could then create
purchase orders for up to 100% of the target quantity.

11.3.4 Charge Calculation and Cost Distribution in Freight
Orders
With this feature, you can calculate the charges for transporting goods in freight orders based on rates you
maintain in a freight agreement. A freight agreement is a contract between you, the purchasing organization,
and the carrier. You use a released freight agreement as a basis for calculating transportation charges billable
to you by your carrier.
You can also break down and share the aggregated freight cost of a freight order to the level of a delivery item,
based on the gross weight of the delivery item.

Additional Details
Your transportation planning results in a freight order that consolidates many delivery items. The system uses
freight agreements, as well as calculation sheets, rates, and scales, to determine the transportation charges
and rates agreed based on logistical data such as gross weight and gross volume. After charges are calculated,
you want to bill the freight cost to your customer for each delivery item.
When you create a billing document in Sales and Distribution (SD), the system takes the freight cost from the
distributed costs in the freight order and uses these costs to bill for deliveries.

New Activation Concept and Draft Handling for Business Roles
On the business roles overview, the column Lifecycle Status has disappeared. Instead, the column Business
Role ID now contains an addition called Draft. This addition is displayed if a business role is not active yet, or if
an active business role is being edited and a draft version is available in addition to the active version.
When a business role is being created, it will be in status Draft as long as is is not saved. Once the business role
is saved, it will be activated automatically and set to status Active accordingly. If the dialog for creating a
business role is left without saving the business role, it will be available in the business roles overview in status
Draft.
If an active business role needs to be edited, the business role needs to be opened first and the edit mode to be
entered manually by clicking Edit. A draft version of the business role is created in which the editing takes
place. The active business role remains. Once the changes are saved, they are written into the active business
role and the draft version disappears. If the dialog for editing a business role is left without saving the business
role, the active business role as well as the draft version of the business role will be available in the business
roles overview.
Changed Concept for Maintaining Restrictions
Restriction details are now displayed on a different screen. It is displayed for which fields restrictions have been
