ERP_IPS_4S_1: Data Replication (new)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Social Services - Benefit Calculation
and Payment (ERP_IPS_4S_1), you can replicate different data objects from
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to enterprise resource planning (ERP) and
from ERP to CRM.
The following data is replicated from CRM to ERP:
o
Social service plan (SSP) data including item, partner, status, appointment, and
docflow data
o
Social deduction plan (SDP) data including item, partner, status, appointment,
and docflow data
This data is necessary in ERP for calculation and billing.
The following data is replicated from ERP to CRM:
o
Entitlement calculation results
o
Gross payment calculation results
o
Net payment results
This data is replicated temporarily on request to CRM to be displayed in the CRM Web
client user interface. The data is not retained in CRM.
Effects on System Administration
For the data replication, different communication and middleware settings must be
configured in CRM and ERP. This is described in detail in Customizing for Public
Sector Management under Social Services -> Integration Customer Relationship
Management -> Configure Integration with CRM .
Effects on Customizing
In the distributed landscape of Social Services it is necessary to do some Customizing
for the data replication. Additionally, the data of several basic Social Services
Customizing activities must be kept synchronous in CRM and ERP.
In the ERP system, you make the required settings in the activities found in the
following Customizing chapters:
o
Customizing for Public Sector Management under Social Services -> Basic
Settings.
o
Customizing for Public Sector Management under Social Services ->
Integration Customer Relationship Management.
In the CRM system, you make the required settings in the activities found in
Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under Industry-Specific
Solutions -> Public Sector -> Social Services -> Integration.
For more detailed information about the steps required to configure data replication for
Social Services in CRM and ERP, see Customizing for Public Sector Management
under Social Services -> Integration Customer Relationship Management ->
Configure Integration with CRM.

ERP_IPS_4S_1: Gross Entitlement Calculation (new)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Social Services - Benefit Calculation
and Payment (ERP_IPS_4S_1), you can use the gross entitlement calculation feature
as part of the Social Services functionality.
As a result of gross entitlement calculation, for a replicated social service plan (SSP) or
social deduction plan (SDP), a gross entitlement document is created.
For SSPs, the main content of this document is an entitlement frequency amount,
determined per entitlement item. This can be done using either a BAdI or a BRFplus
function.
For SDPs, the deduction type per deduction item (relevant for net calculation) is
determined. This is done using a BAdI.
The gross entitlement document becomes the input for the next process step, gross
payment determination.
Effects on Customizing
You make the Customizing settings for this feature in Customizing for Public Sector
Management under Social Services -> Gross Entitlement Calculation.

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Social Services - Benefit Calculation
and Payment (ERP_IPS_4S_1), you can use the gross payment determination
feature as part of the Social Services functionality.
Gross payment determination is one of the processing steps that a replicated Social
Service Plan (SSP) undergoes in ERP, and is performed directly after gross entitlement
calculation. The main aspects of the calculation are the mapping of entitlement periods
onto payment periods, the retroactive calculation of past payments, and the delimitation
of future payments.
The gross payment documents created by gross payment determination become the
input for the next process step, net calculation.
Effects on Customizing
You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for Public Sector
Management under Social Services -> Gross Payment Determination.

ERP_IPS_4S_1: Social Services - Benefit Calculation and Payment: Net
Calculation (new)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Social Services - Benefit Calculation
and Payment (ERP_IPS_4S_1), you can use net calculation as a feature of Social
Services.
Net calculation combines gross payments based on SSP types and certain other
criteria. Deductions (for example taxes and social insurances) are also made during net
calculation. The net calculation results are stored as net calculation documents which
serve as the input for billing and accounting.
The initial net calculation is done asynchronously in the background. With the Analyze
Application Log transaction (SLG1), you can evaluate the application log which stores
details of the initial net calculation.
Subsequent net calculations are performed in a mass run using the Create Net
Calculation Documents transaction, which can be found in the SAP Easy Access
menu under Accounting -> Public Sector Management -> Social Services -> Mass
Processing -> Create Net Calculation Documents (transaction
PSSC00_NETCALC).
SAP ERP does not provide a user interface for Social Services, but you can access the
net calculation result in the CRM user interface. You can also execute a net calculation
simulation to assess the net calculation results which would occur based on changes
to, for example, the social service plan.
Effects on Customizing
You maintain payment families in Customizing for Public Sector Management under
Social Services -> Basic Settings -> Maintain Payment Families .
You make the other required Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for
Public Sector Management under Social Services -> Net Calculation.

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Social Services - Benefit Calculation
and Payment (ERP_IPS_4S_1), you can use billing and accounting as part of the
Social Services functionality.
The Social Services billing and accounting connects the Social Services net calculation
with the functions of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA). The
Social Services Billing - Mass Run report (transaction PSSC00_BILLING) collects all
net calculation documents according to the selection criteria and creates an FI-CA
billing document for each of the selected net calculation documents. This report can be
found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting -> Public Sector
Management -> Social Services -> Mass Processing -> Create Billing Documents.
You can also influence the creation of the billing documents through an implementation
of the BAdI definition PSSCB_BILL_CREATE.
The Social Services Billing - Mass Run report can also handle recalculations of net
calculation documents. In such cases the report will create FI-CA reversal documents
for pre-existing billing documents.
For further processing of the billing and reversal documents, the functions of FI-CA are
used. Here we also provide a mapping of Social-Services-specific data using FI-CA
event technology.
Effects on Customizing
You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for Public Sector
Management under Social Services -> Billing and Accounting.

DFKKP2PBW for mass activity Update Delta Queue (FPBW_EXTRACT) to extract the
data to delta queue.
The Update Delta Queue transaction is found in the SAP Easy Access menu under
Utilities Industry -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Periodic
processing -> Extraction for Business Intelligence.
DeltaInit must be executed once for the delta update function to work. The delta
procedure After Image via Delta Queue (AIM) is used.
Effects on Customizing
Before using promise to pay extraction, you must first activate the extraction. You can
do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting(New) under Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable -> Integration -> Business Intelligence -> Make Central
Settings.
Note
Be aware that DataSource 0FC_PP (Promise to Pay Header) must be activated before
you activate DataSource 0FC_PPD (Amount Due Per Payment Date).

Mass Change of Documents
Use
Account Balance/Mass Change
When you navigate from the account balance to the mass change of documents (for
instance, by choosing Environment -> Account -> Mass Change), the system now
offers only those items for the mass change that you selected in the account balance.
This applies even if you used the Find function after selecting the items to reduce the
number of items in the account balance. Even in that case, the system displays only
the currently displayed items in the mass change.
Selection of Additional Items in Mass Change
In the mass change function for documents, you can now also select and add
additional items, as in the processing of open items. The added items are added at the
bottom of the list; already selected items remain selected.
Effects on Customizing
To have the system offer only the items currently selected in the account balance in the
mass change, define event 1256 and set the indicator E_ADD_CUST-XMCFI in your
implementation. Then register your function module for event 1256 in Customizing for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Program Enhancements -> Define
Customer-Specific Function Modules.

Cash Journal
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the following
enhancements to the reversal function for payment documents in the cash desk:
Selection of payment documents to be reversed
You can select payment documents for reversal based on any date, the current date, or
an entry time period, as well as based on the number of the payment document.
Before you reverse a document, you can go to the detail display of the payment
document.
Reversal
You can reverse multiple payment documents together in one step.
For the posting of the reversal, you enter the reconciliation key, the clearing reason,
and the reversal date.
You can reverse payment documents that are in payment lots that are already closed.
This allows you, for example, to reverse check payments if you discover later on that a
check is not covered.
You can also reverse mixed payments that consist of more than one payment category.
Example: A customer pays a receivable of 100 with 50 in cash and 50 as a check. You
can then reverse either the partial amount of 50 for each of the given payment
categories, or you can reverse the entire payment of 100.
Display
You can display reversed payments in the cash balance and in the historical data of the
cash desk. This enables you to get a better overview of the activities of the cash desks
in a branch.
Cash Journal
In addition to the cash desk, you can also access this enhanced reversal function from
the cash journal.
Effects on Customizing
In Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Business
Transactions -> Payments -> Processing Incoming and Outgoing Payments ->
Cash Desk/Cash Journal -> Maintain Role-Specific Activities for Cash Journal, set
the Maintain Role-Specific Activities for Cash Journal indicator to assign the
authorization for reversing to a role. SAP provides this setting for the roles branch office
manager and cashier with special tasks.

Closing Operations
Use
Reclassification by Due Date
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can display open but not yet
due items according to their due date in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable,
and post reclassifications for these items. It is also possible for the system to consider
installment plans when determining the due date. In that case, the due date of an
assigned installment overrides the original due date of the open item.
Effects on Customizing
You can enter the G/L accounts you want to use as adjustment accounts and target
accounts. You enter this for each company code, G/L account, and grid interval. In
Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, choose Closing
Operations -> Reclassifications -> Define Adjustment Accounts for
Reclassification by Due Date.

Collections Management (New)
Use
BRF Traces
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can record BRF traces.
Using a BRF trace, you can, in individual cases, interpret decisions of the Business
Rules Framework (BRF), and based on this you can make targeted adjustments to the
check rules in the Business Rules Framework (BRF).
You trigger the recording of a BRF trace in the dunning proposal run by setting the
Trace Active indicator on the Dunning Parameters tab page. (On the SAP Easy
Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> For Contract Accounts -> Dunning > Dunning Proposal Run.)
To ease the load on your database, enter an amount of time after which the BRF trace
is released to be deleted. Enter this in the Days Until Trace Deleted field. Based on
the number of days you enter, the system determines the date the trace expires and
stores this date in the trace data record. The system automatically proposes 30 days.
However, you can change this value. If you do not enter a value, the system
automatically sets the expiration date to December 31, 9999.
Once the expiration date has been reached, the system deletes the BRF trace
automatically the next time the dunning proposal run is executed.
In the case of BRF traces with the expiration date December 31, 9999, the system
never deletes them automatically. It is only possible for you to delete these BRF traces
manually. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Delete
Data -> BRF Traces. You can also use the same transaction to directly delete BRF
traces that do have an expiration date.
You can display recorded BRF traces using these methods:
o
Using the report Collections Management: Display BRF Trace
On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> For Contract
Accounts -> Dunning -> By Collection Strategy -> Display BRF Traces.
o
In the dunning proposal run
You can also call the report directly in the dunning proposal run. Enter the date
ID and the run ID of the run you want. Choose the Trace pushbutton on the
Dunning Parameters tab page.
o
In the dunning history
To access the dunning history from the dunning proposal run, in the menu
choose Environment -> Dunning History. Or on the SAP Easy Access screen,
choose Account -> Further Information. Then in the history display, choose the
Trace pushbutton. Or from the menu, choose Goto -> Display BRF Trace. Here
you can display BRF traces using different selections. You can select by dunning
proposal run using the date ID and run ID. Or you can display for business
partners, contract account groups, collection steps, and collection strategies.
Displaying for contract accounts and business partners is only possible here if
the system has actually generated dunning headers.
If the system did not generate any dunning notices, you can access the above report
only by means of the BRF trace.
Updating Collection Strategies
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can update collection
strategies at the master data level (contract account, contract account group, contract,
contract group). To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Periodic

WebClient business role FICACM for managing worklists in Collection Management in
addition to the SAP GUI transaction Manage Worklists. You access this new function
on the SAP Easy Access screen under Periodic Processing -> For Contract

Credit Clarification
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use additional functions
for processing credits (SAP Easy Access screen: Account -> Process Credits). This
includes simultaneous processing of multiple credits in one step for all allowed
functions, such as, payment, transfer, payment by check, and write-off.
In addition, you can now enter partial amounts in all credit processing processes. For
example, you can pay out different partial amounts of different items together in one
step by creating a repayment request for them.
In credit clarification (SAP Easy Access screen Payments -> Credit -> Clarification),
it is not possible to clarify multiple clarification cases at the same time (the individual
clarification cases have and retain their own status management); however, you can
enter partial amounts there.
The function brings the following changes in the individual processes:
o
Payment
The system creates a repayment request for all selected items that have the
same account assignments for Segment, Business Area and Profit Center. If
the mentioned account assignments are different for the different selected items,
then the system creates multiple repayment requests accordingly.
To have the payment run process the repayment requests, you have to set the
Repayment Requests indicator in the payment run parameters (as usual).
o
Transfer
The system does not effect the changes to the selected items (entries of bank
details and payment method) using document changes. Instead, the system
creates a payment specification for all selected items, and notes the entered
payment data in the header of the payment specification. To have the payment
run select and process these payment specifications later, you have to set the
Payment Specifications indicator in the parameters for item selection in the
payment run.
o
Check
The system creates a repayment request for all selected items.
o
Write-Off
The system writes off the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items together.
o
Clearing
The system clears the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items against the
open items of the business partner, the contract account, or the contract.
The system displays the selected open items and activates the selected items.
Then you can activate any applicable additional items in dialog mode and
thereby clear the credit.
o
Business Partner Transfer
The system transfers the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items to the
specified business partner.
o
General Ledger Transfer
The system transfers the entered (partial) amounts of all selected items to the
general ledger account that you entered using the short account.

Use of Preselection in Dunning Run
Use
Use of Preselections for Business Partners and Contract Accounts
You can now use preselections for master data in the dunning proposal run to select
business partners or contract accounts. This is like the existing function, for example, in
the item list (that you access on the SAP Easy access screen, by choosing Periodic
Processing -> Open Item Evaluations -> Execute Evaluation).
You define preselections from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Periodic
Processing -> Technical Preparations -> Define Preselection. In each preselection,
you group together a set of master data based on the master data attributes of your
choice (such as, all business partners with an address in Chicago).
The dunning run treats master records included in the preselection as single values
that you enter for business partners or master data. The system checks the
preselections against the interval limits of the mass activity. In each interval, therefore,
the dunning run processes only those master records that are both within the interval
limits and are part of the preselection.

External Cash Desk Services (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the new enterprise
service CashPointClosingDocumentERPCancelNotification_In to process reversals
of cash desk closings (sent using the notification
CashPointClosingDocumentNotification_In).
This enables you to reverse a cash desk closing that was transmitted incorrectly by the
front end, so that you can replace it with the correct cash desk closing that was sent
subsequently.
Example
1. An external cash desk (front end) sends 10 messages with payments for a total
amount of 500 to the SAP system (back end).
2. At the end of the day, you receive a cash desk closing message for 495 from this
external cash desk.
i. You receive a message for each cash desk, branch, and grouping
key.
3. The system records the reported cash desk closing in tables DFKKEXC_SUM and
DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.
4. The system recognizes the difference of 5 between the amounts. On the Monitor
for External Cash Desk Services screen, on the Overview tab page, the system
displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments. It also shows a
reconciliation amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing.
i. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays a payment
amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing, and a
Difference to be assigned of 5.
ii. Due to the difference between the amount of the reported
payments and the cash desk closing, you cannot post a receivable
to the agent account (agent posting).
5. The external cash desk now sends you a message for reversing the cash desk
closing in the amount of 495.
6. In table DFKKEXC_SUM (totals records for external payment information), the
system sets reconciliation status C for the reversed cash desk closing. In table
DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST (cash desk closing history), the system records the reversal
of the cash desk closing, also with reconciliation status C.
7. The Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services now
displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments, but no longer shows
a reconciliation amount. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays the
following for the reported cash desk closing: the payment amount of 495 with
reconciliation status C (Totals Record Reversed ), and a Difference to be
assigned of 500.
8. After that, the external cash desk sends you another cash desk closing message –
now with the correct amount of 500.
9. The system records the reported cash desk closing in tables DFKKEXC_SUM and
DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.
10. The Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services now
displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments.
i. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays a payment
amount of 500 for the reported cash desk closing, and no longer

shows a Difference to be assigned.
11. Now you can enter the agent posting. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose
Payments -> External Cash Desk Services -> Post Agent Receivable.
You also have the option of correcting the cash desk closing manually in the Monitor for
External Cash Desk Services.
Example
1. An external cash desk (front end) sends 10 messages with payments for a total
amount of 500 to the SAP system (back end).
2. At the end of the day, you receive a cash desk closing message for 495 from this
external cash desk.
i. You receive a message for each cash desk, branch, and grouping
key.
3. The system records the reported cash desk closing in tables DFKKEXC_SUM and
DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST.
4. The system recognizes the difference of 5 between the amounts. On the Monitor
for External Cash Desk Services screen, on the Overview tab page, the system
displays a payment amount of 500 for the reported payments. It also shows a
reconciliation amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing.
i. On the Agent Postings tab page, the system displays a payment
amount of 495 for the reported cash desk closing, and a
Difference to be assigned of 5.
5. You notice the discrepancy and contact the branch. The employee there informs
you that the cash desk closing was for 500 and that only the message contains the
wrong amount.
6. On the Overview tab page of the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services, you
select the affected entry and choose the Cash Desk Closing pushbutton.
7. In the dialog box that appears, you change the item total of the grouping key to 500
and confirm your entry.
8. The system records the cash desk closing with reconciliation status U (Updated
Manually), both in table DFKKEXC_SUM (totals records for external payment
information) and in table DFKKEXC_SUM_HIST (cash desk closing history).
9. Now you can enter the agent posting. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose
Payments -> External Cash Desk Services -> Post Agent Receivable.
In the Monitor for External Cash Desk Services, you can choose the History of
Cash Desk Closing pushbutton on the Overview and Agent Postings tab pages to
analyze changes made to the cash desk closing. This means that you can see the XI
messages received for a cash desk closing, and you can see any changes made
manually. To do so, select an entry in the list and choose the History of Cash Desk
Closing pushbutton. As long as the history recorded data for the selected entry (for the
combination of branch, cash desk, and grouping key), the system displays this data.

Information Container (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, for data in information container
categories that you transfer by XI message, you can now also send this data using
Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM) for asynchronous enterprise services.
The WSRM send type is available for the following information container categories:
o
0001 (returns) with service operation
PaymentReturnERPOccuredBulkNotification_Out
o
0002 (clearing and clearing resets) with service operation
ContractAccountReceivablesPayablesRegisterERPSubscribedItemBulkNotificati
on_Out
To make it possible to send using WSRM, you have to configure the send type in
Customizing. In addition, you have to configure the following service groups in
SOAMANAGER:
o
FKK_PAYRETBULKOCCNO for information container category 0001
o
FKK_CARPRSUBSCRITEMBULKNO for information container category 0002
The recipient field of the information container is used for logical determination of the
recipient in SOAMANAGER. You can determine the values for the recipients of an
information container entry in a function module entered for event 3701.
If you have implemented your own information container categories and you want to
send the related enterprise service using WSRM, then you have to implement the new
method SEND_VIA_WSRM of interface IF_FKK_INFCO_TYPE accordingly.
Effects on Customizing
Configure the send type for WSRM in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable

Integration
Use
Transfer to General Ledger Accounting: Aggregation of Reconciliation Keys
Mass activities with jobs running in parallel, in which documents are posted, use a
separate reconciliation key for each job. As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP
ERP 6.0, you can aggregate these reconciliation keys under a single reconciliation key
(aggregation key) before the transfer to general ledger accounting. As a result, you
transfer only the totals records of the aggregation key. This enables you to reduce the
number of posting items in the general ledger.
You have two options. You can set up automatic aggregation in Customizing that is
then applied when the mass activity is run. Or you can request a manual aggregation
after the mass activity is run. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Document ->
Reconciliation Key -> Aggregate.
Reconciliation Between Open Items and G/L
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can link the reconciliation
report RFKKOP10 to the SAP Solution Manager to be able to monitor the status of the
reconciliation with the general ledger there (see SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic
Processing -> Forward Postings -> Reconciliation -> Reconcile Open Items) .
Integration with SAP Credit Management: Web Services Reliable Messaging
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit Management in a single or multiple system
landscape without an XI server. This means that you can connect an instance of
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable directly with SAP Credit Management
without using an XI server. Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit
Management can be running in the same system or in separate systems.
The prerequisite for this is as follows: You have installed enhancement package 5 for
both Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and SAP Credit Management, and
you activated the business function FSCM Functions 3 (FIN_FSCM_CCD_3).
Activating a business function in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is not a
requirement.
You set up the connection between SAP Credit Management and Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable by configuring the appropriate endpoints and logical ports in
SOA Manager.
Message exchange takes place using Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM),
which guarantees the transfer of messages and monitors the correct sequence of
incoming messages.
Integration with SAP Credit Management: Transferring Key Figures of Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the asynchronous
service CreditPaymentBehaviourSummaryNotification_Out to transfer key figures from
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable to SAP Credit Management. Up to now,
this service was sent using the mass activity Transfer Credit Data (on the SAP Easy
Access screen, choose Periodic Processing -> Forward Data to SAP Credit
Management). However, the system also fills the PropertyValuation of the service, in
which the characteristics of the individual key figures are filled. You define in
Customizing which key figures you want to transfer.
The Transfer Credit Data mass activity now also transfers business partners who
have negative payment behavior. In event 4511 you can specify the time period in

You can add your own data to these standard key figures in event 4509.
In addition, in event 4510 you can also define your own key figures, fill them, and then
send them along with the standard key figures using the PropertyValuation of the
service to SAP Credit Management.
In SAP Credit Management there is a new synchronous service
CreditManagementAccountERPPaymentBehaviourSummaryByDebtorPartyQueryResp
onse_In. This service also contains the PropertyValuation. If the service calls Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable from SAP Credit Management, then the system
calculates the key figures to be transferred.
Integration with SAP Credit Management: Compare Creditworthiness
If monthly credit weighting was specified in Customizing for Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable, and the credit score of the business partner changes, this
information does not arrive automatically in SAP Credit Management. Therefore, the
credit score of the business partner changes over time in Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable, but the business partner does not receive a new
creditworthiness entry in SAP Credit Management. As of SAP enhancement package 5
for SAP ERP 6.0, using the mass activity Compare Score with Last Replication, you
can identify business partners whose credit score has changed since the last
replication in SAP Credit Management (on the SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic
Processing -> Forward Data to SAP Credit Management -> Compare Credit
Score). The mass activity identifies the business partners for which you have to
transfer data again. The actual transfer is made (as before) using the mass activity
Replication of Score (see SAP Easy Access screen: Periodic Processing ->
Forward Data to SAP Credit Management -> Replicate Creditworthiness).
Integration with Funds Management
If you use the fund as a balancing unit in the general ledger, then event 0032 no longer
generates zero balance items in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. Instead,
the system generates the zero balance items for each fund; this is done directly in the
general ledger when the postings are transferred from Contract Accounts Receivable
and Payable to the general ledger.

Integration with Funds Management (PSM-FM)
Use
Cash Flow Analysis by Origins
Using the enhancement described here for the public sector area and Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable with SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP
6.0, it is possible to periodically analyze cash flows based on their origins.
In this context, revenue elements and cost elements are considered to be originators.
However, it is also possible to base an analysis on other aspects, such as, the fund
from which payments were made or collected.
Note
If you are using the integration with Funds Management, and you balance the fund to
zero in the general ledger, then event 0032 in FI-CA no longer generates zero balance
items. Instead, the system generates the zero balance items for each fund. This is
done directly in the general ledger when the postings are transferred from Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable to the general ledger.
Basis for the Report
To be able to determine what caused incoming or outgoing payments, the amount paid
has to be assigned to receivables or payables. The posting documents of these
receivables and payables contain the account assignments that are needed, such as
the revenue element or the fund.
In Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, the assignment between payments and
receivables/payables is established by the fact that the payment amount is used for
clearing open items. However, until that point is reached, a sequence of postings can
arise in the general ledger and in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, during
which the monetary amount is posted to a series of accounts.
Example of a Posting Sequence for an Incoming Payment
1.
Debit bank account, credit clearing account for incoming payments (posting in
general ledger)
2.
Debit clearing account for incoming payments, credit clarification account
(posting in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable)
3.
Debit clarification account, credit receivables account (posting with clearing in
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable)
This example can become more and more complicated, if you consider partial
clearings, or the possibility that assignments that were already made can be partially or
completely removed.
To enable the system to analyze such complex sequences of events, Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable uses the approach that is outlined here in simplified
form:
1.
Each line item or cleared item of a document in FI-CA is designated either as a
'Money Item' or as an 'Other Item'.
2.
The system considers each document, which contains at least one money item
or clears a money item, as relevant for the cash flow analysis. For simplicity in
this text, we refer to these documents as simply as 'relevant'. In the above
example, all three documents are relevant, although only the last contains items
(the cleared receivables) that are not money items.
Release Notes for SAP for Public Sector
SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0
Page 36 of 125
SAP

What's New? – Release Notes
3.
Relevant and nonrelevant documents always update (within a reconciliation key)
different totals records for the general ledger transfer. The system ensures this
by setting a new attribute in the totals records when you post a relevant
document (with technical name DFKKSUM-XCSHA).
4.
During the transfer to the general ledger, the system also posts separate
documents for the relevant totals records and the nonrelevant totals records. In
the G/L documents for the relevant totals records, the system sets an
appropriate indicator (with technical name BKPF-CASH_ALLOC).
For each document for the transfer to the general ledger, this indicator enables
you to see whether or not the item contains information about assignment, and
therefore information on the origins of incoming and outgoing payments. At the
same time, for each item of the transfer document, you can see if it represents
money (these are primarily postings to bank accounts, clearing accounts and
clarification accounts), or if it is a payment originator (usually postings to
receivables and payables accounts).
If you then determine the total amount of all money items in the transfer
document, this amount represents either a cash inflow or cash outflow. This total
was caused by the remaining items of the transfer document (that is, the
payment originator items).
5.
The system uses this behavior of the general ledger transfer document in G/L
accounting to make the data for the cash flow analysis available. In Customizing
for New General Ledger Accounting, you have to declare the dimensions that are
relevant to the cash flow analysis (such as, the revenue element or fund) so that
clearing postings always reduce the balance to zero. In addition, you have to use
a separate G/L account, which only allows relevant documents, for the
automatically generated clearing items. The analysis of this clearing account,
with regard to the account assignments that arise, is the basis for the cash flow
analysis.
Considerations for Analysis Based on Revenue Elements or Expense Types
The account assignments from the receivables and payables items that were cleared
by the payment are an important factor for the cash flow analysis by origins. Account
assignments, such as the fund or funded program, are found in these items; the
revenue element or expense type, however, is initially only in the offsetting entries. For
the cash flow analysis, therefore, a new Account for Cash Flow Analysis field has
been added in all line items. (The short name for this field is Cash Flow Account.) The
following overview describes how you should set the cash flow account.
o
Postings to Bank Accounts, Bank Clearing Accounts, Cash Accounts,
Clarification Accounts for Payments
You enter a fixed account number in Customizing. This account number
represents all accounts to which monetary amounts are posted.
o
Postings to Revenue Accounts, Expense Accounts, General Accounts
Used for Offsetting Entries for Receivables or Payables
Here you can re-use the G/L account number. Otherwise, you can combine a
group of G/L accounts using a common number, if they are accounts that do not
have to be differentiated as originators from the perspective of the cash flow. In
that case, you have to make the settings for this in Customizing.
o
Postings to Receivables and Payables Accounts
Here the system determines the affected revenue or expense accounts and
passes on their account assignments. If the system is not able to determine a
unique offsetting item, and the offsetting items that are possible belong to
different cash flow accounts, then the system cannot post the document. The
Release Notes for SAP for Public Sector

assignment logic is found in event 0066. If the routine (function module
FKK_SAMPLE_0066) provided in the standard SAP system does not
completely meet the needs of your business transactions, you have to create
your own module for this event (using your own installation-specific logic).
o
Postings to Tax Accounts (Input and Output Tax)
You can also enter a fixed account number in Customizing (as in the case of
bank and cash accounts above). In the cash flow, this value represents the share
of revenues or expenditures that falls due as the tax share of paid invoices.
However, you can choose to enter multiple account numbers instead. For
example, you can enter separate account numbers for input tax and output tax;
or you can enter a separate account number for each VAT code (tax on
sales/purchases code).
o
Postings to Other Tax Accounts (Such As, Withholding Tax)
The system treats other tax accounts the same as expense and revenue
accounts. You can either use the G/L account number directly as the cash flow
account, or you can group accounts. Example: You can represent all accounts
for other taxes using one account number, and this number can be identical with
the account number that you use for input and output tax.
The different treatment of the different tax types is not due to business
requirements, but is instead due to technical requirements. These technical
considerations are not explained in detail in this document.
Restrictions
The above explanation of the cash flow demonstrates that a cash flow analysis is
possible only for the total inflow and outflow of liquid assets. It is not possible to
analyze cash inflows and outflows of individual bank accounts separately.
Effects on Customizing
The cash flow analysis for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is based on the
document data in FI-CA, which the system ultimately transfers to ledgers in general
ledger accounting. For this reason, you have to make Customizing settings both in
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable and in General Ledger Accounting.
Settings in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
In Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you decide, for each company code, if
documents with data for cash flow analysis are enriched or not. In Customizing for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, choose Organizational Units -> Set Up
Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. Set the Cash
Flow Analysis Active indicator for the company code.
Settings in Public Sector Management
You make settings for the cash flow under Public Sector Management -> Fund
Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Cash-Basis Accounting and
Cash Flow Reporting.
Note: When data is transferred to the general ledger, the information about the tax
account is not available on the receivables item. Therefore, you have to make settings
for deriving the tax items in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Settings in General Ledger Accounting
The account assignment element RE_ACCOUNT must be active in the ledger than you
use for the cash flow analysis. Depending on which totals record table you use, you
have to make the following settings:
o
If you use a ledger with totals record table PSGLFLEXT, assign scenario
Release Notes for SAP for Public Sector

PSM_CL to that ledger. In Customizing, choose Financial Accounting (New) ->
Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Assign
Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
o
If you use a totals record table other than PSGLFLEXT, then add the field
ZZRE_ACCOUNT (for account assignment element RE_ACCOUNT) to the table
as a customer-specific field. In Customizing, choose Financial Accounting
(New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Fields ->
Customer Fields -> Include Fields in Totals Table. Select the field
ZZRE_ACCOUNT in the input help under Additional Fields.
To have the system update the field, assign it to the appropriate ledger. In
Customizing, choose Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting
Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields
to Ledgers.

Integration with FM: Account Assignment Element: Budget Period (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use the budget period
as a new account assignment element in the business partner and general ledger
items. You can use the budget period to restrict the funds with a time criterion.
Caution:
You can only use the budget period in combination with the fund as an additional
classification criterion. This means that you cannot assign the budget period without
specifying a fund.
The following transactions have been enhanced:
o
Post Document
o
Create Security Deposit
o
Create Requests
Note: To show or hide the budget period, you need to change the column
selection of the layout used.
o
Clear Open Items
o
Display Returns Lot
o
Cash Desk
The program that transfers the totals records from Contract Accounts Receivable and
Payable to Funds Management also transfers the budget period to General Ledger
Accounting as part of the transfer of totals records (table DFKKSUM).
Effects on Customizing
To be able to use the budget period as a new account assignment element, you need
to activate the following business functions in Customizing:
o
PSCD, Collections Management and Credit Clarification
(PSCD_COLLECTIONS_MANAGEMENT_2). This business function forms part
of the Public Services business function set.
Both of the following enterprise business functions:
o
PSM, Budget Period (PSM_GEN_BUDPER_1) and
o
PSM, Budget Period 2 (PSM_GEN_BUDPER_2)
You activate business functions in Customizing under Activate Business Functions.
Furthermore, you also need to activate the fund and the budget period as account
assignment elements. You do this in Customizing for Public Sector Management under
General Settings for Public Sector Management -> Basic Settings: Account Assignment
Elements -> Activate Account Assignment Elements.
If desired, you can define special account assignment derivation for the fund. For
example, you can specify fixed combinations of budget periods and funds. You define
account assignment derivation in Customizing for Public Sector Management under
Funds Management Government -> Master Data -> Allocations to Account
Assignments from Other Components -> Define Account Assignment Derivation.

Transfer of Master Data and Transaction Data (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use a new program in
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for transferring master data and the related
transaction data at the same time. The program can transfer all data of one business
partner to another and makes it possible to clean up the database if partners were
created and posted in duplicate by mistake. In addition, you can use this program to
transfer only certain contract accounts or contracts from one business partner to
another, thereby correcting incorrect assignments.
After you have selected the master data for which the program is to change the
assignment, the program automatically selects all affected transaction data as to be
transferred. When you save, the program transfers all selected master data and the
selected transaction data. If you do not want to transfer certain transaction data, then
you have to deselect the given row.
For the transfer of transaction data, the program calls the program for transferring open
items and requests (transaction FP40N) in the background. For more information see
the release note Transfer Items and Requests (New)

Transferring Items and Requests (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use a new program in
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable for transferring open business partner
items and requests at the same time. You can access this new program in the area
menu for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Account -> Transfer Items
and Requests.
If you only want to transfer open business partner items, this program offers the same
functions as the existing program for transferring open items that you can access from
the SAP Easy Access screen under Account -> Transfer Items. Both programs use the
same Customizing settings and the same limitations apply to both programs.
The following applies if you transfer requests that are not yet closed: then the program
sets the status Transferred and Deleted for all selected requests, standing requests,
and general requests, and generates a new request of the same type. In doing so, the
program replaces the source master data (business partner, contract account, and
contract) with the target master data. The program copies all other posting information
from the source request. The program adjusts the execution dates of the new standing
requests so that only due dates are considered for which no documents have been
generated yet. When you have transferred requests, the programs for editing requests
display the number of the transfer request or the transferred request.
Effects on Customizing
To document the reasons for the transfer, you can enter transfer reasons in
Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. There you can also
define specifications and default values to automate the creation of transfer documents.
You make these settings in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and
Payable under Business Transactions -> Transfers.

Postings and Documents
Use
Horizontal Scrolling in Open Item Processing
You can create display variants in Customizing to be used for open item processing,
such as, in account maintenance or in making payment assignments.
A display area, which is variable to a limited extent, is available for the fields belonging
to a display variant. The status column forms the boundary on the left side; on the right
side, the boundary is formed by the columns for the amount fields, which should always
be visible on the screen. For display variants with many fields, therefore, the width of
the variable area may not be sufficient, so that not all fields are displayed.
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can scroll horizontally
through the fields of the display variant within the variable display area. To activate
horizontal scrolling, choose the Change Display pushbutton. In the dialog box, there
are two parameters for horizontal scrolling:
o
You can use the first parameter to activate the function. Once the function is
active, new pushbuttons for horizontal scrolling appear on the screen on the right
side above the item list.
o
Using the second parameter, you can specify how many columns of the display
variant remain fixed when you scroll. You can thereby ensure that important
information is always displayed, and is not hidden by horizontal scrolling.
Example
Your display variant begins with a document number followed by other fields. During
horizontal scrolling, you want the column with the document number to remain fixed
and always be visible. Therefore, you enter the value 1 in the Fixed Columns field.

Enhanced Consistency Checks for Documents (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can use an enhanced
consistency check for documents in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Using the new functions of the enhanced consistency check, you can find documents
that have certain inconsistencies. We recommend that you use the enhanced
consistency check when you use your own customer programs. The report analyzes
inconsistencies that typically arise when customer programs are used that change
records in the document table DFKKOP, if processes also run at the same time that
generate clearings or clearing resets.
You can use the new functions to analyze the inconsistent documents. The system
gives information about what the correct status of the data should be.
You can access the new transactions described below from the SAP Easy Access
screen by choosing Periodic Processing -> Enhanced Consistency Checks.
o
Execute Check Run
You can use this transaction to check the consistency of documents. The
program runs in the background, analyzes the selected documents, and finds
inconsistencies.
o
Edit Check Results
You use this transaction to run the consistency check in dialog mode. Check the
selected documents with the Check Documents function. The system displays
the check results. You can analyze documents with errors in the worklist using
the Analyze Document function.
o
Edit Check History
If you ran the consistency check of the documents using background processing,
you can analyze the results showing the documents with errors with this
transaction. To do so, choose the Details on Document function for a document
in the worklist of incorrect documents. The system displays the error details and
the way the document should look correctly to assist you in correcting the
incorrect document.
o
Delete Worklist Check Run
If the enhanced consistency check is active, when documents are posted, the
system updates the worklist (trigger table DFKK_SG_TRIG) with the documents
that are to be checked (that is, documents that cause clearing or reset clearing).
When you activate the enhanced consistency check you define a residence time
for the trigger table. If the residence time of the worklist has been exceeded, you
can delete the table using this transaction.
Effects on Customizing
You activate the enhanced consistency check in Customizing for Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable under Technical Settings -> Activate Enhanced
Consistency Checks.
You can also activate the enhanced consistency checks from the SAP Easy Access
screen by choosing Settings -> Current Settings -> Activate Enhanced
Consistency Check.
SAP delivers the enhanced consistency check as inactive.
Note that you first have to activate the enhanced consistency check in order to be able

Parallel Tax Update for External Tax Systems
In the U.S.A., external tax systems, such as VERTEX, TAXWARE, SABRIX, are
frequently used for calculating taxes and for recording tax data for later tax reporting.
Up to now, the relevant tax data was updated in FI-CA using report RFYTXF00 or

Withholding Tax (New)
Use
Withholding Tax: Posting with Invoice
Vendor withholding tax is tax that is deducted when a company pays a business
partner. For this type of tax, it was previously only possible to agree that the posting
was made at the time of the payment.
When this was done, the system identified the gross amount (including the withholding
tax) as a liability. When the liability was paid, the system deducted the withholding tax
from the payment amount, and posted the withholding tax to an account for withholding
tax to be paid.
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can already post the
withholding at the time you post the vendor invoice.
The Posting Specifications
In the most simple example - without withholding tax - the posting of a liability would
look as follows:
80.00
80.00
Liability to business partner (open item)
Expense
If we now consider 25 percent withholding tax, which we want to post directly with the
invoice, the document would look as follows:
80.00
Liability to business partner, split into
... 60.00 open subitem
... 20.00 subitem, immediately cleared
[ 20.00]
Clearing item for withholding tax amount
80.00
Expense
20.00
Withholding tax to be paid
There is an immediate partial clearing of the liability item in the amount of the withheld
tax; to offset this, the system posts the withholding tax to be paid.
In the subitem that is immediately cleared, the system enters the subitem’s own
document number, with the clearing reason Withholding Tax Deduction at Time of
Invoicing.
The system supports the posting of withholding tax with the invoice even if several
amounts need to be deducted by means of withholding tax supplements. This applies
even if these supplements are variable, meaning that amounts or percentages can be
entered directly in the line item. In these cases, the document display shows the detail
data for the withholding tax supplements next to the immediately cleared subitem.
Withholding Tax: Posting Partially with the Invoice and Partially at Payment
You can also post the withholding tax and withholding tax supplements at different
points in time. For each combination of a withholding tax code and withholding tax
supplement, you can specify when the posting for the withholding tax supplement
should take place:

Effects on Customizing
You can make all the necessary settings for withholding tax in Customizing for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions -> Withholding
Tax.
To specify for a withholding tax indicator that posting should take place at the time of
invoicing, choose the Enter Additional Specifications for Vendor Withholding Tax
IMG activity.
Note that the setting Posting with Invoice for vendor withholding tax takes
precedence over the general setting Posting with Payment that you can choose when
defining the withholding tax code. The general setting Posting with Payment is then
valid only for customer withholding tax, that is, the withholding tax that your customers
can withhold when making payments to you.
If you want to specify that a withholding tax supplement for a withholding tax code is
posted at a different time, then process the Define Allowed Entries for Withholding
Tax Supplements IMG activity.

PSCD_TRM_AND_WITHHOLDING: Migrating Tax Returns to the FPF
(New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Tax and Revenue Management including
Withholding Taxes, you can migrate old tax returns to the form processing framework.
With business function Tax and Revenue Mgmt incl. Property Tax, SAP introduced a
generic form processing framework to handle form bundles in different form-based
processes. A form bundle is a collection of forms that are to be processed together (for
example, a tax return comprising cover form and diverse attachments). The generic
form processing framework came with new features such as the assignment of a form
bundle number, loop of forms before calling the Business Rule Framework (BRF), new
BRF actions and expressions. These features are not available for tax returns created
without the form processing framework, that is for all tax returns created with
functionality delivered for business function PSCD, Tax Return Processing.
With business function Tax and Revenue Mgmt incl. WithholdingTaxes, SAP provides a
migration process for customers who wish to implement a form-based process for tax
returns that is based on the generic form processing framework. In doing so, customers
not only get enhanced functionality but also have the same look and feel for all their
form-based processes.
Effects on Customizing
You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing for Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable in node Migrating to the Forms Processing

PSCD_TRM_AND_WITHHOLDING: Amendments for Tax Returns (New)
Use
As of SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Tax and Revenue Management including
Withholding Taxes, you can use the functionality for amended tax returns.
o
Detecting Amended Tax Returns (Amendments)
When a tax officer wants to change a tax return in the Tax Processing Web
Dynpro application, the system automatically switches to amendment mode if a
tax assessment has already been created for this tax return. Technically, an
amended return is a duplicate return in the sense that there is already a filed tax
return with the same business partner, contract account, contract object, period
key and revenue type in the system. This logic is encapsulated - and changeable
- in a sample delivery of FI-CA event P285.
o
Integration of Amendments into the Form Processing Framework
Amendment detection and handling is embedded in the Form Processing
Framework for form-based tax return processing. Activities of the Form-based
Processing Framework have been enhanced in order to support amendment
processing. You can assign various levels of amendment checks to the activities
used by the Form Processing Framework in Customizing for Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable. Furthermore, you can define maximum periods for late
amendments, if you want to restrict the period during which the correction of tax
returns is possible.
o
Amendments and the Tax Processing Web Dynpro application
The Tax Processing Web Dynpro application was enhanced to support
amendment processing. A new amendment mode was introduced which is
automatically derived by the system (see Detecting Amended Tax Returns
above) and offers the following new functionality:
A list of amendment action group(s) comprising actions (fields or pushbuttons)
required to perform a task. For example, if the tax officer wants to change master
data of a taxpayer, the address fields are set to changeable. SAP delivers the
following major action groups:
-
Change Taxpayer
-
Change Period
-
Change Postmark Date
-
Change Receipt Date
-
Merge Return
-
Amend Form (For example, add, remove, transfer, retrieve forms or
activate/obsolete forms)
-
Change Form Data
-
Transfer Forms
-
Toggle Long / Short Form
-
Create Note
-
Change Documents (for documents in document management service
(DMS))
-

-

Customers can define their own actions and action groups in Customizing for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
After the functionality of an amendment action group has been executed and
changes are saved, the system logs notes for each action group as well as the
processing reason.
Only authorized action groups are available in amendment mode for tax return
processing (authorization object F_PSFH_AMD).
Amendment processing history is recorded as part of tax return change history.
o
Billing and Invoicing of Amendments
If existing billing and invoicing documents are affected by amendments, the
system automatically adjusts existing billing documents or reverses existing
invoicing/posting documents in SAP Public Sector Collections and Disbursement
(PSCD) when creating the new tax assessment. You can configure this system
behavior in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

on line items within attached documents or attached tables (schedules). The volume of
these multi-line items within these schedules can potentially reach thousands of lines
for one tax return.

PSCD_TRM_AND_WITHHOLDING: Master Data Relationships (New)
Use
As of SAP ECC 6.0, Industry Extension Public Sector, SAP Enhancement Package 05,
the Business Function Tax and Revenue Management including Withholding Taxes is
available.
TRM uses the following master data objects:
o
SAP business partner (BP)
o
Contract account (CA)
o
Contract object (CO).
In EHP4, relationships can only be maintained between business partners. These
relationships cannot be restricted to certain tax types or certain locations.
To allow relationships to be maintained on a more detailed level, a new master data
relationship framework is introduced. This relationship is used for tax return processing
and follow-on processes (billing, accounting, account maintenance). The new features
are as follows:
o
Master data relationships can be maintained manually in the taxpayer overview.
o
Master data relationships can be created automatically. During processing of a
registration form, the Business Rules Framework (BRF) can create the
necessary master data objects and relationships.
o
Cardinality and time constraint checks are executed during relationship
maintenance.
o
Relationship category specified check can be defined and executed.
o
We deliver the following relationship categories:
-
Consolidation
-
Joint filing using joint tax ID
-
Joint filing using individual tax ID
o
For relationship categories, additional checks can be done in event P401.
o
The change of relationship is logged in change document.
o
Tax return duplicate checks can be executed based on the relationship. Event
P333 is provided for this check.
o
In account display (FPL9) and account maintain (FP06), open items can be
uploaded from master data relationships.
o
For business partner relationships, the relationship categories Tax Advisor and
Tax Accountant are enhanced. Contract account, contract object, revenue type,
and activity can be maintained under the relationship.
o
General relationship and special relationship concepts are introduced.
If fields are assigned a specific value, a special relationship arises. Otherwise,
the relationship is a general one.

PSCD_TRM_AND_WITHHOLDING: Consolidation (New)
Use
As of SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Public
Services (IS-PS-CA 605), business function Tax and Revenue Management including
Withholding Taxes, SAP provides functionality to support consolidated tax registration,
filing and processing.
If an organization consists of several subsidiaries, consolidated filing allows you to
submit only one tax return and thus saves time and effort for both the taxpayer and the
tax office. The administrator of an organization can serve as the consolidator, who
holds the filing obligation and tax liability for a group of taxpayers that has opted for
consolidated filing. The consolidation process is mainly built on two technical
components: the Form Processing Framework and master data relationships. Form
processing rules use stored master data relationships.
Consolidated Registration
Consolidated registration is prerequisite for processing consolidated tax returns. The
consolidated registration establishes the filing obligation and tax obligation for the
consolidator only. As already mentioned, the administrator of an organization can act
as the consolidator.
At the same time, this registration creates master data for the consolidator and all
subsidiaries (members) as well as the relationship between the consolidator and its
members.
Consolidated registration works similar to the existing registration process for formbased taxes. However, new Business Rule Framework (BRF) actions are delivered to
manage the relationships among the consolidator and its members.
Consolidated Tax Return Filing
If a taxpayer is consolidated, the program suppresses the generation of a filing
obligation since the consolidator takes over the filing obligation from its member
taxpayers. If a consolidated member hands in a tax return, the program treats it as
unexpected filing and generates a work item so that a tax officer can investigate the
matter further.
Consolidated Tax Return Processing
After a registration for consolidated filing is stored in the system, the organization can
submit one single tax return for the whole group. The consolidator of the business files
on behalf of all registered subsidiaries. A consolidated filing typically consists of a cover
sheet, a member list schedule and schedules for each consolidated member. The
cover sheet contains summarized data from all members that can be validated against
the schedules from those members. The member list schedule contains the list for all
consolidated members and the consolidated time range. The program can
automatically suggest the member list from the registration data. The schedules for
each consolidated member are similar to the forms used for individual filing.
The system creates a tax assessment based on the results of processing. The tax due
is posted to the consolidator only. Credits from the members can be consumed by the
consolidator to offset the liability.
Sample Delivery
SAP delivers a complete sample for Sales and Use Tax consolidation. The respective
form bundle types are:

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Enterprise Extension Public
Sector Management (EA-PS 605), business function PSM, Fund Accounting 2
(PSM_FA_CI_2), you can can use the open item managed accounts for zero-balance
clearing items in the document split (new G/L).
This allows you to record new G/L and special ledger zero-balance clearing items (due
to/due from) on open item accounts.
Posting of zero-balance clearing items to open item managed accounts now enables
you to establish a control mechanism using the already familiar technique of open item
management. Follow-on processes such as cash transfers can now be tracked more
easily, which provides a better audit trail for individual transactions.
Open Item Management for Zero-Balance and FICA documents
When a reconciliation key is closed and the FICA Totals Records are transferred to the
General Ledger, new FI documents are posted. Due to technical limitations in this
transfer, these documents do not record zero-balance clearing items on open item
accounts.

PSM_FA_CI_2: Cash Control (new)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Enterprise Extension Public
Sector Management (EA-PS 605), business function PSM, Fund Accounting 2
(PSM_FA_CI_2), you can use the following new functions for cash control:
o
Control availability cash (incoming cash vs outgoing cash)
Cash control records incoming and outgoing cash based on certain rules, check
the availability of cash for a certain control object and reports a problem if a
tolerance limit has been reached.
o
Define a source ledger
Cash control can use the new General Ledger Accounting (G/L) to define a
source ledger. This source ledger is the starting point for cash control to collect
the information needed to check the availibility of cash.
o
Define a tolerance profile
A tolerance profile is a way of defining the criteria for triggering messages in a
transaction that has cash impact. You can define a rate or an absolute variance
that is compared between the consumable amount or incoming cash and the
consumed amount or outgoing cash.
o
Define G/L accounts relevant for cash
It is important to define which G/L accounts are relevant for cash at company
code level in such a way that every time a posting is made to this G/L account, a
cash control operation is performed either as a incoming or outgoing cash,
making cash available or consuming it.
o
Define filters for each control ledger
In addition to defining G/L accounts relevant to cash, you can define additional
filtering by control ledger. This filtering defines that, for a set of cash relevant
accounts, a filter applies to a given control ledger.
o
Derivations of activity groups, objects and tolerance profile
Several derivations take place during the execution of cash control functions:
-
Derivation of the activity group that will be used later to define tolerance
limits
-
Derivation of control objects as a means of aggregation and derivation of
tolerance profile to overwrite the standard tolerance profile defined for the
control ledger.
o
Currency type
Every posting has a transaction currency (foreign currency) and the company
code currency (local currency). It is possible to define in which type of currency
the control ledger records and performs checks.
o
Activation values for the control object
A control ledger starts inactive and has two activation options:
o
-
With usual checks
That is, the normal check and record of cash
-
Active without availabilty check
In this case, only cash control values are recorded.
Overall checks
Every check is done based on a control object defined from a source line that
comes from a posting to certain object. So the control object is formed from the
Release Notes for SAP for Public Sector

What's New? – Release Notes
source account assignment (G/L account, fund, budget period, grant and
functional area), then the system verifies the those accounts are balance entities.
A BAdI then enhances it. Finally, a control object is derived for aggregation
purposes.
o
Several new Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are available to enhance some
processes.
o
Reconstruction report
This report reconstructs cash control entries. It should be used the first time cash
control becomes productive and every time a cash control rule changes.
o
Overview report
This report shows the current entries of a given control ledger and the detailed
documents contained on those values.
Effects on Existing Data
If you already have postings for incoming and outgoing payments, you can start the
cash control feature by defining sources, rules and activation of cash control and
running the reconstruction report to build the cash control objects. After that, every time
a posting is performed, cash control will be on and ready to send messages.
Effects on Customizing
As this is a new feature, we recommend that you go through all the Customizing
activities. In the main Customizing structure, choose Public Sector Management ->

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension EA-PS, enhancement package 5 (EA-PS
605), the user interface for goods issues has been enhanced with the addition of fields
where you can enter details of funds reservation documents, thereby referencing the
goods issue to those funds reservations.
The new fields Document Number for Earmarked Funds (KBLNR) and Earmarked
Funds Document Item (KBLPOS) are visible in the Detailed Data Area in transaction
MIGO. A precondition for these fields being displayed is that the goods movement is a
goods issue with an account assignment. All relevant goods issue transactions, such
as MB11, support this feature. This is supported for the following movement types:
o
201
Goods Issue for cost center
o
202
Reversal/Cancellation of Goods Issue for cost center
o
221
Goods Issue for Project
o
222
Reversal/Cancellation Goods Issue for project
o
241
Goods Issue for asset
o
241
Reversal/Cancellation Goods Issue for asset
o
251
Goods Issue for sales
o
252
Reversal/Cancellation Goods Issue for sales
o
261
Goods Issue for order
o
261
Reversal/Cancellation Goods Issue for order
o
291
Goods issue all account assignments
o
292
Reversal/Cancellation Goods Issue all account assignments
First enter the data as usual (material, quantity, and so on). When you press Enter, the
Accounting tab appears.
After you enter the earmarked funds document and item number, the system should
derive all other relevant accounting data on the accounting tab. If the new fields are not
displayed - for example, because you changed the movement type - you must press
the More button on the Accounting tab to have them appear.
When the goods issue is posted, the consumption history is updated with the budget
thus consumed. In transaction FMX3, you can now also see see the consumption
lines triggered by the goods issue.
Effects on Existing Data
The new added fields KBLNR and KBLPOS do not affect existing data.
Effects on Customizing
Depending on the customizing settings for account assignment transfer, account
assignment elements are automatically taken over from the earmarked funds document
into the goods issue document. These rules can be assigned separately to the new
activity 'RMWA' for Goods Issue.

Business Function PSM, Reassignment with New General
Ledger Accounting
PSM_FM_REASSIGN: Business Function Reassignment with New
General Ledger Accounting (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Enterprise Extension Public
Sector Management (EA-PS 605), business function PSM, Reassignment with New
General Ledger Accounting (PSM_FM_REASSIGN) is available. You can use this
business function to reassign Funds Management account assignments for invoices
(value type 54) if you have activated new General Ledger Accounting in your system.
The main feature here is performing the reassignment as part of a fiscal year change in
Funds Management (FM).
Depending on how FM account assignment elements are used in new General Ledger
Accounting (document splitting / updates), there are four possible scenarios for
reassignments. For more information on the different scenarios, see the SAP Library
for SAP ERP on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/erp -> Accounting ->
Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Closing Operations ->
Reassignment with New General Ledger Accounting.
In scenario 1 (at least one FM account assignment element is updated in General
Ledger Accounting, FM account assignments to be reassigned are defined as
document splitting characteristics), the FM reassignment is performed using the
reorganization tool in new General Ledger Accounting. The reassignment of the
account assignments that is performed as part of the FM fiscal year change is also
reflected in new General Ledger Accounting by means of a FM-specific reorganization
plan type and a reorganization plan. Mid-year reassignments are currently not
supported for scenario 1. For all other scenarios, it is not necessary to use the
reorganization tool.
For more information, see the following release note:
Reassignment of FM Documents with FI Reference
You can also use the reorganization tool to portray the reassignment of FM account
assignment elements in your fixed assets.
For more information, see the following release note:
Reassignment of Fixed Assets
This means greater flexibility and other improvements for the adjustment of an
organization's budgetary structures to legal and organizational requirements.
Roles
The reorganization tool uses the following roles:
o
The reorganization manager manages and monitors reassignments during the
FM fiscal year change and its effects on new General Ledger Accounting and,
optionally, on Asset Accounting. The reorganization manager creates the
reorganization plan and performs the following tasks:
-
For FM documents with an FI reference: Transfer posting
-
For fixed assets: Generation (determinaton of the affected assets),
assignment of an object owner for the individual assets, and reassignment
of the assets with a simultaneous transfer
Release Notes for SAP for Public Sector

SAP
o
What's New? – Release Notes
®
The object owner assigns the new FM account assignments to the fixed assets
in his or her area of responsibility. The reorganization manager cannot change
these assignments with a subsequent reassignment.
For more information on these roles, see the section "Effects on System
Administration".
Process
1.
Reorganization manager creates a reorganization plan.
2.
The budget managers perform commitment carryforward for invoices (value type
54) as usual in FM. If commitment carryforward reassigns FM account
assignments that are split and updated in new General Ledger Accounting, this
information - together with the documents - is automatically updated in the
reorganization plan.
3.
On the basis of the information from the FM reassignment, the reorganization
manager starts transferring the balances affected in FI.
You can optionally use the reorganization tool to portray the reassignment of FM
account assignment elements in your fixed assets.
1.
In accordance with the assignments in the reorganization plan, the
reorganization manager starts generating the fixed assets affected by the
reassignment.
2.
The reorganization manager assigns the generated assets to the object owner
responsible for those assets.
3.
In the case of each fixed asset assigned, the object owner decides whether the
asset forms part of the reassignment and what the target assignment should be.
4.
The reorganization manager starts the reassignment for the affected assets. If
balances have already been posted to these assets, those balances are
transferred automatically.
All affected objects, the old and new account assignments, and the relevant object
owner are logged. The system also logs the balances transferred for each object as
well as the transfer documents created in new General Ledger Accounting. You can
use separate consolidation transaction types to trace the transferred balances in the
totals reports in new General Ledger Accounting.
Effects on System Administration
The reorganization is available as a Web application in the portal and as an application
in the NetWeaver Business Client.
To use the reorganization in the portal, you need to install the business package BP for
Reorganization Management(BPERPREORG).
This business package does not contain any predefined roles; instead, it is only
intended for reuse. To simplify the administrator's task of evaluating the content, the
worksets of this business package are connected by delta links to work center pool role
1.5 of the Business Package for Common Parts.
However, you can define your own roles (such as reorganization manager and object
owner). You can then use the worksets of business package BP for Reorganization
Management in your own roles:

For use of the reorganization in the NetWeaver Business Client, there are PFCG roles
built in the same way:
o
For the reorganization manager: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_MANAGER
o
For the reorganization owner: SAP_FI_GL_REORG_OBJLIST_OWNER
The reorganization manager can use the Report Launchpad FAGL_REORG in the
application in the portal as well as in the NetWeaver Business Client. This launchpad
comprises other programs that you need for the reorganization.

PSM_MM_MAA: Setting the Final Account Assignment Indicator in
Purchase Orders (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), business
function PSM, Multiple Account Assignment - Final Account Assignment Indicator
(PSM_MM_MAA), you can set the final account assignment indicator for
individual account assignment items in purchase orders with multiple account
assignments. This function allows you to prevent further quantity postings to the
account assignment items in question and - assuming encumbrance tracking takes
place for the assignment - to reduce the open commitment value accordingly.
You can set the final account assignment indicator in manually created purchase order
items with multiple account assignments for which you have set valuated goods receipt
and created follow-on documents. If you want to set the final account assignment
indicator in service items, you must first have activated service-based invoice
verification. In unplanned service lines (up to a limit), the final account assignment
indicator is simply for information purposes. You cannot set a final account assignment
indicator in returns items.
When you set the final account assignment indicator, the system determines from the
purchase order history the quantity that has already been posted to this account
assignment item. The system compares the delivered and invoiced quantities and sets
the higher of the two as the final account assignment quantity . In the case of
distribution by amount, the final account assignment quantity is calculated and stored to
the floating point. You have the following options for balancing out the difference
between the account assignment quantity that was originally stored in the purchase
order, and the final account assignment quantity:
o
You can reduce the quantity at purchase order item level by the difference in
quantities.
o
You can specify in a new Business Add-In (BAdI) how the system should
distribute the quantity difference across the remaining open account assignment
items.
o
You can distribute the quantity difference manually across the remaining open
account assignment items.
o
You can add new account assignment items and post the quantity difference to
these items.
If you chose percentage distribution in the purchase order, and then set the final
account assignment indicator, the system changes the distribution logic from
percentage distribution to distribution by quantity, as this is the only way to avoid
rounding errors when the quantity difference is distributed. We therefore recommend
that you do not choose percentage distribution if you want to work with the final account
assignment indicator in your procurement process.
In Customizing for Materials Management you can create different final account
assignment reasons with texts, and therefore save in the purchase order a reason why
you have set the final account assignment indicator for an account assignment item.
If you deselect the final account assignment indicator for an account assignment item,
the existing quantity distribution remains unchanged. When distributing amounts
relating to future goods receipts and invoice receipts, the system again takes into
account the account assignment item that previously had a final account assignment
indicator.

PSM_MM_MAA: Goods Movements for Purchase Orders with Final
Account Assignment Indicators (New)
Use
As of SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), Business
Function PSM, Multiple Account Assignment - Final Account Assignment Indicator
(PSM_MM_MAA), you can set the final account assignment indicator for
individual account assignment items in purchase orders with multiple account
assignments. When you set the final account assignment indicator, the system
determines the final account assignment quantity from the purchase order
history. The system can only post additional quantities from partial goods receipts or
invoice receipts to this account assignment item if they do not exceed the final account
assignment quantity.
If there are quantities that have been invoiced but not yet delivered, the system
determines the final account assignment quantity based on the invoice quantity. When
posting additional partial goods receipts for purchase orders containing account
assignment items with a final account assignment indicator, the system distributes the
quantity of goods received according to the following logic:
1.
First, the system distributes proportionally the quantity of goods received across
all account assignment items with invoice surplus, regardless of whether these
items have a final account assignment indicator or not.
2.
Once the invoice surplus has been balanced out, the system distributes the
goods receipt surplus by filling the items with a final account assignment
indicator up to the final account assignment quantity.
3.
Finally, the system distributes the remaining quantity of goods received, in
accordance with your settings in the partial invoice indicator, across all account
assignment items without final account assignment indicators.
In the case of return deliveries, the system proportionally distributes the quantity being
returned across the account assignments of the purchase order items, so that the
quantities, including those of the items with a final account assignment indicator, are
reduced accordingly. The next time there is a partial goods receipt, the system
distributes the quantity to account assignment items with final account assignment
indicators up to the level of their respective final account assignment quantities. If you
create return deliveries for purchase orders with distribution by quantity or percentage
distribution, and you want to distribute the returned quantity to the account assignments
manually, you can implement the example implementation
CL_EX_MB_ACCOUNTING_DISTRIBUTE for the BAdI: Multiple Account Assignment
- New Distribution in Goods Receipt (MB_ACCOUNTING_DISTRIBUTE). The system
then displays an additional screen, on which you can manually overwrite the proposed
distribution, check your new distribution, or reinstate the original distribution suggestion.

PSM_MM_MAA: Incoming Invoices for Purchase Orders with Final
Account Assignment Indicators (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605), business
function PSM, Multiple Account Assignment - Final Account Assignment Indicator
(PSM_MM_MAA), you can set the final account assignment indicator (FAA
indicator) for account assignment items in purchase orders with multiple account
assignments. When you set the FAA indicator, the system determines the final account
assignment quantity (FAA quantity) from the purchase order history. The system can
only post additional quantities from partial goods receipts or invoice receipts to this
account assignment item if they do not exceed the FAA quantity.
If there are quantities that have been delivered but not yet invoiced, the system
determines the final account assignment quantity based on the quantity of
goods received. When posting additional partial invoices relating to purchase orders
including account assignment items with FAA indicators, the system distributes the
invoice quantity based on the open quantity. Calculating with quantities rather than
amounts ensures that any retroactive price increase does not affect the FAA quantity.
The system calculates the open quantity that can still be posted to the item with an
FAA indicator by taking the difference between the FAA quantity and the invoice
quantities that have already been posted to the account assignment item.
If you have selected distribution by percentage or by quantity, the system
distributes invoice quantities for purchase orders containing account assignment items
with an FAA indicator according to the following logic:
1.
First, the system distributes the invoice quantity, according to your settings in the
partial invoice indicator, across all account assignment items with a goods
receipt surplus, regardless of whether these items have an FAA indicator or not.
2.
Once the goods receipt surplus has been balanced out, the system distributes
the invoice surplus by filling the items with an FAA indicator up to the FAA
quantity.
3.
Finally, the system distributes the remaining invoice quantity, in accordance with
your settings in the partial invoice indicator, across all account assignment items
without FAA indicators.
In the case of distribution by amount, the system does not display any quantities at
account assignment level during invoice entry. If you change the total quantity, select
new account assignment items, deselect proposed account assignment items, or
choose the Update Account Assignments pushbutton, the system distributes invoice
quantities for purchase orders containing account assignment items with FAA
indicators according to the following logic:
1.
First, the system distributes the invoice quantity, taking into account the total
quantity, the total amount, and the account assignment amounts, across all
account assignment items. If the quantity that the system calculates for individual
items with FAA indicators exceeds the FAA quantity, the system only assigns the
quantities up to the level of the FAA quantity, and distributes the quantity
difference in two further steps.
2.
First, the system distributes the quantity difference on a fill-up basis to items with
an FAA indicator for which the calculated and assigned quantities did not exceed
the FAA quantity in the first step. The quantities in these items with an FAA
indicator are filled up to the level of the FAA quantity.

The system then distributes the remaining invoice quantity to all account
assignment items without an FAA indicator, taking into account the total quantity,
the total amount, and the amounts of all items without an FAA indicator.
In general, the system does not take into account parked invoices when calculating
the FAA quantity or the open quantity. However, you can specify in Customizing for
Public Sector Management that the system must consider invoices with the status
parked as complete and parked released when calculating the FAA quantity.
If you are processing parked invoices that reference a purchase order with multiple
account assignments, the multiple account assignment screen displays the FAA
indicator, the FAA quantity, and the open quantity next to the account assignment
information from the time of parking. With the new Update Account Assignments
pushbutton you can overwrite account assignment data with the current account
assignment data from the purchase order (account assignment objects, newly added
account assignment items) and then adjust the quantities for the account assignment
items manually.

o
Final Account Assignment Quantity (AA_FINAL_QTY)
o

Final Account Assignment Indicator for Services (New)
Use
As of SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL_605), Business
Function PSM, Multiple Account Assignment – Final Account Assignment Indicator
(PSM_MM_MAA), you can set a final account assignment indicator for
individual account assignment service items in purchase orders with multiple account
assignments. This functionality allows you to prevent further postings against account
assignments for service items, and reduces the open commitment value accordingly.
Limits with item category “D” are supported with this functionality.
When you set the final account assignment indicator, the system determines from the
purchase order history the quantity that has already been posted to this account
assignment item and sets the higher of the service entry sheet (SES) or invoice request
(IR) quantity as the final account assignment quantity. In the case of distribution by
amount, the final account assignment quantity is calculated and stored to the floating
point. The system returns any remaining budget back to Funds Management. Most of
the distribution logic and functionality of the final account assignment indicator for
service items is the same as for material items. For more information on the final
account assignment indicator functionality for material items see; Setting the Final
Account Assignment Indicator in Purchase Orders (New)
To set the final account assignment indicator for service items in a PO with multiple
account assignments (MAA), on the Invoice tab, you must select service-based
verification. In unplanned service lines (up to a limit), the final account assignment
indicator is simply for information purposes. The system does not allow multiple MAA
lines with the same account assignment for the same service to be entered. Once the
final account assignment indicator is set on a MAA line in a PO, the quantity,
percentage, and amount fields are closed for input. If the service-based indicator is set
in a PO, and the goods receipt indicator is not set, the entry fields in the account
assignment screen of the SES will either be open or closed for input based on the new
customizing indicator, SES Account Changeable. If this customizing indicator is
selected, quantities on the account assignment screen of a SES can be changed,
however, new accounting lines cannot be added.
When a SES that has the final account assignment indicator set on a MAA line is
revoked, the reversal is processed exactly as the SES was originally posted, regardless
of any MAA lines that may be closed due to the final account assignment indicator
being set. However, the quantities in the referenced PO cannot be changed or entered
until the revoked SES is deleted. A SES that is revoked but not deleted remains open
to be posted again.
The distribution logic in POs and follow-on documents has been updated for the final
account assignment indicator. Rounding differences are not posted to any MAA lines
where the final account assignment indicator is set, but are distributed amongst the
remaining lines. Overages when creating a SES are not distributed to MAA lines on
which the final account assignment indicator has been set. The system checks the
distribution proportions in the PO, and proposes the open quantity in the same
proportion in the SES. When the final account assignment indicator is set on a service
line in a PO for which partial follow-on documents have been posted, the systems
displays a message to inform the user that the SES or IR distribution logic is changing
to the fill-up method. The distribution logic in a SES for MAA lines in which the final
account assignment indicator is set is the same as the distribution logic in IRs and
GRs. For more information see; Incoming Invoices for POs with Final
Account Assignment Indicator (New), and Goods Movements for
POs with Final Account Assignment Indicator (New)

PSM_USFED_PPAP_3: PSM, US Federal PPA and Payments (New)
Use
As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension Public Sector Management (EA-PS 605),
enhancement package 5, the following new features and enhancements to existing
features relating to Federal Government payment processing are available:
o
You can specify the Most Advantageous Payment Term (MAPT) method for
vendors. This specifies the method used by the Prompt Payment Act (PPA) net
payment due date calculation to identify which payment terms are considered
when determining the most advantageous payment term for an invoice.
o
You can specify alternate account assignments for posting penalty interests on
expired fund using the derivation tool.
The derivation tool is available in Customizing. To access it, use the link listed
under Effects on Customizing below.
o
PPA now includes a feature to calculate the payment due date, added to FI
vendor invoice transactions. This includes adding the Invoice Receipt Date field,
adding the PPA Exclude Indicator on expense lines, and the PPA log.
o
PPA penalty interest is calculated in the financial clearing transactions. If a credit
memo is cleared against an open item, only the open balance is used to
determine the amount of PPA interest. Interest expenses on asset lines are
posted on the asset account itself. This ensures that the additional penalty
amount is reflected in the total value of the asset.
o
Previously, PPA penalty interest calculated from the payment program was
always posted to the expense account. Now, when the New G/L feature is used,
the penalty interest on asset line is posted to asset account itself reflecting in the
total value of the asset.
o
The payment warehouse report has been enhanced. Use the link to the release
note listed below to access details.
o
A new budgetary ledger area has been added to the default configuration
for federal accounting rules for use in account determination for credit memos.

You can use this to specify how vendor credit memos and customer credit memos are
to be shown on the trial balance and financial statements. They can be displayed as
offsetting adjustments to their "normal" accounts (that is, as negative payables for
vendors or negative receivables for customers) or as adjustments to a reciprocal
account (on the other side of the balance sheet), such as receivables, payables, or
advances.
Effects on Customizing
As with any other BL area, some customizing is required. You can find the necessary
step in SAP Customizing under Public Sector Management -> Functions for US
Federal Government -> Ledgers -> Budgetary Ledger -> Account Derivation ->
Definition of BL Areas.
