3.13.3 FIN_REP_SIMPL_4: ODP for Financial Analytics (New)

Use

As of enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606) the business function FIN, OperationalData Provisioning for Financial Analytics (FIN_REP_SIMPL_4) is available. With this businessfunction, you can use real-time operational reporting to anlayze financial data in SAP ERP. After thisbusiness function is implemented, customers can access and analyse their ERP data without the need for aseparate business warehouse (BW) system. This reduces the overall total cost of ownership (TCO) andtotal cost of implementation (TCI) of their analytics solution. Customers who do have an existing BWsystem can also use this business function to benefit from real-time analysis.

Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) ensures that the data is available in real-time as well as for datareplication. This provides unified data that can be later made available to a wide range of analyticsapplications. SAP delivers a number of search and analytics models, operational data providers, transientproviders, queries and specially enabled data sources to facilitate this.

3.13.6 JVA_GL_INTEGRATION: Business Function JVA, Integration with NewGeneral Ledger Accounting

Use

As of SAP ERP 6.0 enhancement package 6 the business function JVA, Integration with New GeneralLedger Accounting is available. With this business function, you can carry out Joint Venture Accounting(JVA) reporting and document recording in the General Ledger Accounting (New) (FI-GL (New))component. You can now reconcile JVA and FI-GL (New) data for the venture, equity group andrecovery indicator fields. The Customizing for JVA is also improved to make it easier to integrate FI-GL(New) and JVA. A number of fields are also added to the FI-GL (New) user interfaces (UI) to ensure thatusers complete the mandatory attributes required for JVA and FI-GL (New) integration.


Financial accounting data in JVA is no longer derived directly from the entry view. Instead the system

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 21

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

derives this from the split document which is created by the New G/|L application during the splittingprocess. The JVA entities venture, equity group and recovery indicator have been added to the FI-GL(New) application component. JVA derivation logic, including venture balancing and CO/FIreconciliation, is also added to the FI-GL (New) application component.

The following JVA transactions have been adapted so that they now post FI entries instead of JVA:

- Pre-Cutback Equity Change Management (GJEC)

- Prior period equity adjustment (GJ19)

- Farm in/out & Re-Determination (GJFARM_1)

- Suspense projects and equity groups (GJ17)

- Partner Suspense Clearance (GJ18)

The above changes to the reconciliation and derivation logic mean that the following month-endprocesses are also changed:

- The Transfer automatic postings to CO (GJ90) transaction is no longer required because thesystem now posts all the relevant information to both FI and CO. This includes realized exchangerate differences (RXD).

- The Unrealized exchange differences (GJ91) transaction is no longer required. You can now usethe FI report Foreign Currency Valuation (New) (FC_FAGL_VALUATION) instead.

- The Valuation for foreign curr balances of G/L accounts at a posting period (GJINO)transaction is no longer required. You can use the FI report Foreign Currency Valuation (New)(FC_FAGL_VALUATION) instead.

- The intercompany reconciliation for CO documents in JVA is no longer required. You can use thereal-time reconciliation instead.

The following restrictions apply:

- Parallel AccountingJVA does not support the ledger based approach to parallel accounting because only the leadingledger is reflected in the JVA ledgers. If you do want to use parallel accounting with JVA, you needto use separate accounts for each valuation (account approach).

- Cost ObjectsJVA is based on special ledgers that are not subject to the same restrictions as GL ledgers. Thus inJVA any combination of accounting data is possible. This is not the case in GL.This is especially relevant for cost objects. If you want to post cost objects to an account in theFinancial Accounting (FI) component, the account must also be defined as a cost element. Thisrestriction does not apply in JVA. Cost objects in JVA are more detailed and complete than costobjects in FI as a consequence. For this reason, you cannot reconcile JVA accounts with FI accountsthat are not defined as a cost element. This also means that certain JVA reports are still based onJVA tables. For example, the working capital reports are still based on JVA tables.


Caution: This business function does not support the migration of data. You should create a new systemwhere you activate the business function and complete the necessary prerequisite customizing andsettings. After you have set up the new system, activated this business function and completed thenecessary settings in the new system, you can transfer the data from your old system to the new system.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 22

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

After you activate the business function, you need to make the following settings to integrate thisbusiness function with JVA, CO and FI.

Ledger Configuration

You need to complete the following Customizing activities to configure the ledger:

1. Define ledgers for general ledger accountingYou define the ledgers in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Ledgers -> Ledger ->Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting.You also define the leading ledger here. If the leading ledger has already been defined, you need todefine the JVA ledger as the non-leading ledger. If the leading ledger has not been defined, you candefine the JVA ledger as the leading ledger.You also need to verify that the JVA and G/L integration is working correctly. The totals table needsto include the JVA fields venture, equity group, and recovery indicator to facilitate the integrationbetween JVA and GL. To ensure that this is the case, you can enter JVGLFLEXT as the totals table.Alternatively, you can use the FAGLFTEXT table as the totals table if it has been enhanced with thethree JVA fields. You can add the JVA fields in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) underLedgers -> Fields -> Customer Fields -> Include Fields in Totals Table.The JVA fields listed above are available as additional fields.Note: You should only add these fields to an empty database table. If you add these fields to anexisting table that already contains data, you may cause an error. This can lead to inconsistencies inthe subsequent processing. As best practice, you should use the JVGLFLEX as the totals table.However, if you want to define your own specific table, you should create a new table and add theJVA fields to this table.

2. Define and activate the leading ledgerAfter you have defined the JVA ledger as the non-leading ledger, you need to activate the ledger.You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Ledgers -> Ledger ->Defineand Activate Non-Leading Ledgers.After you select the JVA ledger, you can assign different company codes to the ledger. You can alsoselect various currencies for each company code.

3. Assign JVA scenario to the ledgerYou assign the JVA scenario to the ledger. You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting(New) under Ledgers -> Ledger -> SIMG.VC_FAGL_LEDGER_DC>Assign Scenarios andCustomer Fields to Ledgers..

Parallel Accounting

You need to complete the following Customizing activities to enable parallel accounting:

4. Define ledger groupLedger groups can be assigned to different accounting principles. To ensure that the relevant COtables are updated, you need to ensure that the JV ledger is assigned to the same accountingprinciples as the leading ledger. The accounting principle assignment is based on the ledger group.Thus, you need to define a ledger group which contains both the leading ledger and the JVA ledger.Once you have done so, you can assign your specific accounting principles to this ledger group.You define a new ledger group in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under FinancialAccounting (Global Settings) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define Ledger Group.

5. Assign accounting principle to ledger groupsAfter you have defined the ledger group, you need to assign the accounting principle to the ledger

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 23

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

group. You can do so in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting(Global Settings) -> Ledgers -> Parallel Accounting -> Assign Accounting Principle to LedgerGroups

CO-FI Real-Time Integration

You need to complete the following Customizing activities to integrate this business function with CO-FIreal-time integration:

6. Define a variant for real-time integrationYou also need to define a variant to facilitate the real-time integration between FI and CO and JVA.You can create a new variant or you can adapt an existing one in Customizing for FinancialAccounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Real-TimeIntegration of Controlling and Financial Accounting -> Define Variants for Real-Time Integration.You need to select the Cross-Venture checkbox. This checkbox is delivered with this businessfunction and is available on the details screen. If you select it, all CO postings which arecross-venture or cross-equity group trigger FI/CO reconciliation postings. This replaces the previousreconciliation logic.

Document Splitting

This section describes only the basic settings which you need to complete to integrate this businessfunction with the document splitting function. The document splitting function needs to be configuredseparately according to your specific business requirements. For more information, see Customizing forGeneral Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting.

You need to complete the following Customizing activities to integrate this business function with thedocument splitting function:

7. Define document splitting characteristics for general ledgerAfter you complete the ledger configuration described previously, you need to define the documentsplitting characteristics for general ledger accounting in Customizing for Financial Accounting(New) under General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting ->Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting. You need to define joint venture accounting as a document splitting characteristic for the generalledger. You also need to select the Zero balance checkbox. This ensures that every document isbalanced by venture and or equity group. This setting also facilitates reporting on the venture and orequity group level.

8. Define document splitting characteristics for COTo ensure that all CO objects are updated during the document splitting, you need to define all therelevant CO objects as splitting characteristics in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New)under General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> DefineDocument Splitting Characteristics for Controlling.Note: The document type is essential to the document splitting process. You need to make sure thatall document types are assigned to the correct process.

JVA Settings

9. You can complete the main JVA settings for this function in Customizing for Joint VentureAccounting under Environment -> JVA Company Configuration -> General Ledger Integration.

Account Determination

10. You need to define an offset account for transaction JVA in table T030 to facilitate equity changeand equity adjustment. You can use transaction SE16 to add the following data to the table:

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 24

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Chart of accounts (in the KTOPL field)

- Transaction JVA (in the KTOSL field)

- Debit account (in the KONTS field)

- Credit account (in the KONTH field)

Posting Rules

11. You use the transaction GJ49 to create the following posting rules for the existing functions EquityAdjustment (EQAD) and FARM:

- G1 (FI reversals)

- G2 (FI reposting)

- G3 (FI offset line)You only define the posting keys for each of these rules. You do not need to complete any of theother settings.

Venture Settings

12. You use transaction GJVV to define a substitute cost object for each venture/equity groupNote: You must assign the cost object that is defined as a substitute cost object to a profit center orsegment to facilitate the derivation of the profit center or segment during posting.

Account Settings

13. The accounts used to record postings from exchange rate losses and gains need to be defined as costobjects. This ensures correct and consistent document splitting in FI, CO, and JVA.

Document Entry

You can use the MCA Journal to enter MCA documents.

You can map currency swaps in the system and correct FX positions. You can park the documents andprocess them as ledger-specific postings or ledger group-specific postings in the new general ledger.

You can also execute single reversals or mass reversals.

Periodic Tasks

The following periodic tasks are available:

Profit and Loss Processes

You can lock, close, and transform P&L accounts, both document-based and balance-based.

Valuation

You can make valuations of the position accounts and balance sheet accounts and execute a restatement.

Adjustment of Implicit FX Transactions

You can adjust the FI postings that represent implicit currency swaps by making MCA-specific postingsto FX positions.

Balance Carryforward

At the end of the fiscal year, you can carry forward the account balances of FX positions and initialize theFX positions. All periodic tasks offer the option of aggregating the posting results, which means you candisplay aggregated FX positions.

Reports

- MCA Balance SheetIn the specific MCA Balance Sheet, the balances in the original currency form the basis fortranslation into the desired display currency.

3.13.8.3 FIN_GL_REORG_SEG: Business Function FI-GL (New), SegmentReorganization (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606), the business function FI-GL(New), Segment Reorganization is available. With this business function, you can reassign segmentsin new General Ledger Accounting. It provides you with a single point of entry for auditable androle-based process administration.

Management can trigger a change to the segment structure, which necessitates a change to the assignmentof segments to objects (such as profit centers, receivables, payables, and assets). Segment reorganizationallows you to split, merge, and change segments. This business function provides a standard procedurefor changing the affected objects and making corresponding adjustment postings.

You can use this function to change the segment assignment on a key date in the future. You can performsegment reporting in new General Ledger Accounting before and after making changes to segmentassignments. The system reassigns objects affected by the reorganization and transfers their balances innew General Ledger Accounting. The system logs all steps so you can verify them.

Roles

Segment reorganization supports the following users and their tasks:

- The reorganization manager is responsible for the entire reorganization project and does thefollowing:

- Creates the reorganization plan

- Generates the object lists (determines which objects are involved in the reorganization)

- Reassigns the objects

- Performs transfers based on specifications by object owners

- Completes the reorganization by closing the reorganization plan

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 30

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- The object owner assigns new segments to the objects in his or her area of responsibility.The reorganization manager cannot make changes to these assignments during reassignment andtransfer postings.

Process Flow

1. The reorganization manager creates a reorganization plan and specifies the reorganization date.

2. The reorganization manager executes the profit center master data transaction and changes the profitcenter for which the segment should be changed.

3. The reorganization manager starts the object list generation from the reorganization plan.

4. The reorganization manager assigns the objects to the object owner.

5. Before the reorganization period, the object owners process their object lists and specify whichsegments need to be reassigned to which objects.

6. Once the previous period (including any assessments, settlements, and so on) has been closed, thereorganization manager performs the reassignment from the reorganization plan.

7. From the reorganization plan, the reorganization manager starts the balance transfers for objects thathave been reassigned.

8. The system logs all affected objects, their old and new assignment, and the relevant object owner.

9. The reorganization manager sets the status of the reorganization plan to Completed.

For more information about the process flow of the reorganization, see the SAP Help Portal athttp://help.sap.com > SAP ERP Central Component > Accounting > Financial Accounting (FI)> General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New) > Segment Reorganization > SegmentReorganization Process.

Object Reorganization

Object types that include a segment are reassigned consistently. This includes profit centers and alldependent objects.

If the system cannot derive the segment from the profit center, or if the profit center is missing duringposting, the objects are considered in the reorganization and in allocation cycles.

Segment reorganization considers all balance sheet positions. For profit and loss (P&L) items, the systemassumes that the new segment posted in the new period is derived from the profit center. This is possiblesince you can assign the segment for the new period in the profit center master data. P&L postings withsegments that are not derived from the profit center are not reorganized.

Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets

You can specify the segment account assignment object in the master data of fixed assets. You can use acorresponding program to derive the segment for existing fixed assets.

In Asset Accounting, you can create various reports at the segment level.

In new General Ledger Accounting, you can create an aggregated report on changes in tangible assets. Inthe report, the values are cumulated on the basis of the G/L accounts. The report is provided by thepersonal object worklist.

The segment assignment inthe profit center master data is now time-dependent.

The system includes the profit centers that are affected by the reorganization of segments in thereorganization plan.

A profit center is entered in a reorganization plan when the following prerequisites are met:

- The analysis period of the profit center change (period start date) and the reorganization date of thereorganization plan are the same.

- The reorganization plan contains the change from the old segment to the new segment.

- In Controlling, the period is still closed for all transactions.

You cannot delete an analysis period for a profit center that has been included in a reorganization planbecause dependent objects might have already been reorganized.

Segment changes in the profit center are effective after activation.


If you activate the business function FI-GL (New), Segment Reorganization(FIN_GL_REORG_SEG), it affects when an analysis period with a changed segment is added. With the

In new General Ledger Accounting, you can transfer the affected open item balances from the oldsegment to the new segment. Since automatic document splitting information for the affected open itemsis updated, the follow-on processes (such as clearing) take the new segments as their basis.


- Selects the following data:

- Open items (including down payment requests and down payments) that are affected by thereorganization of segments

- Invoice-related items (such as residual items and partial payments)

- Changes account assignmentsTo ensure that the clearing processes are based on the new segments, the system applies thedocument splitting information for the affected open items to the reassignment. The system updatesthe document splitting information so follow-on processes apply the correct account assignments.This does not cause changes to the documents.

- Performs transfer postings

In new General Ledger Accounting, the system transfers the open item balances.

The reorganization of open items is included in the reorganization of objects, which determines theaccount assignment.

If the system cannot establish the relationship to the objects that determine the account assignment, or ifthe open item was assigned by a profit center, you have to specify new segments for the open items.

SAP-System______________________________________________________________


If you only activate the business function FIN_GL_REORG_1, the dataset in Cost Object Controllingis not affected. You must use the function for reorganizing open items to change segments in documentsplitting and to transfer open item balances from the old segment to the new segment in new GeneralLedger Accounting.

On the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Fixed Assets ->Information System -> Reports on Asset Accounting -> Depreciation Forecast, the programDepreciation on Capitalized Assets (Depreciation Simulation) (RASIMU02) is replaced by the newprogram for depreciation simulation (RASIMU_ALV01).

3.18.2 FIN_TRAVEL_4: Business Function Travel Management 4 (New)

Use

The business function Travel Management 4 (FIN_TRAVEL_4) is available as of SAP enhancementpackage 6 for SAP ECC 6.0 (EA-HRGxx 606), Enterprise Extension Travel Management Extension(EA-TRV 606). This business function encompasses the new and extended functions of the TravelManagement (FI-TV) component described below.

Unless specified otherwise, the new functions are available in SAP GUI and in the Web DynproABAP-based user interface.

Save Expense Report as Draft Without Check

This function is available in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based user interface only.

You can configure the Save Draft button in the expense report in such a way that the system does notcarry out any expense report checks. This function has the advantage that users can, at any time, quicklysave an expense report in process.

Expense reports saved without checks are assigned the Draft settlement status. Expense reports with thisstatus are subject to certain restrictions, for example, you cannot display or further process these expensereports in SAP GUI.

To further process (for example, approve or settle) expense reports in Draft status, these must first besaved in the Web Dynpro ABAP-based expense report in the Check and Send step to ensure that allchecks have been run and that there is a state of consistency.

You activate this function using the SWC entry in the HR feature for travel expense parameters(TRVPA). You can edit this HR feature in the Customizing activity Set Up Feature TRVPA for TravelExpenses Parameters. When doing so, refer to the "System Administration" section.

Enhancements to the Receipt Buffer and Receipt Overview

Integrating Receipts from Mobile Devices

You can integrate receipts from mobile devices into the expense report so that the system displays thesein the receipt buffer. Receipts from mobile devices are documents (such as a photographed taxi receipt)that are stored in the optical archive via ArchiveLink, and that include at least the following information:

- Expense Type

- Amount

- Currency

- Date

Users can add receipts from mobile devices to their expense reports from the receipt buffer and also linkthese to other receipts (see below).

Before you can integrate receipts from mobile devices, you must be using an optical archive withArchiveLink and have made the following entries in Customizing for ArchiveLink:

- In the Customizing activity Edit Document Types, you add an entry with document typeHRITRV_MOB.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 66

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- In the Customizing activity Edit Links, you link this document type to the business objectsBUS2089 and BUS2089B, your content repository, and a link table.

Adding Attachments to Receipts

Users can add files to individual receipts as attachments. The system archives these files that were addedas attachments in the optical archive via ArchiveLink.

Before you can add attachments, you must be using an optical archive with ArchiveLink and have madethe following entries in Customizing for ArchiveLink:

- In the Customizing activity Edit Document Types, you add an entry with document typeHRITRV_UPL.

- In the Customizing activity Edit Links, you link this document type to the business objectsBUS2089 and BUS2089B, your content repository, and a link table.

Displaying Attachments in the Receipt Overview

In the receipt overview, the new Attachments column indicates whether one or more attachments areassigned to a receipt. An attachment is either a receipt from an mobile device or was added as anattachment.

Users can display attachments from the receipt overview by choosing the button or the link in theAttachments column, and can add attachments.

Linked Receipts

In the receipt overview, users can link multiple receipts to one receipt. More specifically, a linked receiptcan contain the following:

- Travel plan document

- Credit card receipt

- One or more receipts from mobile devices

- One or more receipts created manually

If the individual receipts have different values for the same characteristics (for example, different dates),the system uses the values from the credit card receipt. If no credit card receipt exists, the system uses thevalues from one of the receipts from the mobile devices (the receipt added first). If there are also noreceipts from mobile devices, the system uses the values from the travel plan document.

Users can separate the linked receipts in the receipt overview. This also applies to receipts that the systemhas linked automatically. When you separate the receipts, the system restores the original receipts.Additions or changes made manually are lost in this case.

Using and Linking Receipts from the Receipt Buffer

When you open the receipt buffer (credit card buffer) in SAP GUI or open the receipt entry screen in theWeb Dynpro ABAP-based expense report, the system checks whether at least two of the followingreceipts match:

- Credit card receipt from the receipt buffer

- One or more receipts from mobile devices from the receipt buffer

- Travel plan document from the expense report

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 67

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

The receipts must fall within the trip duration and all of the following entries must match:

- Expense Type

- Amount

- Currency

- Date

The system takes all the matching receipts from the receipt buffer and links all matching receiptsautomatically in a receipt. Alternatively, the system opens a dialog box that prompts the users to decidewhich matching receipts are to be linked by the system.

You control this function using the RBA entry in the HR feature for travel expense parameters(TRVPA). You can edit this HR feature in the Customizing activity Set Up Feature TRVPA for TravelExpenses Parameters. When doing so, refer to the "System Administration" section.

Default Values for the Reasons in the Cost Comparison

You can define default values for the reason that users must specify if the travel expense report orexpense report exceeds the maximum values defined for the cost comparison.

- In the Customizing activity Define Reasons for Cost Comparison of Travel Expenses, you candefine (for each trip provision variant) the default values for the cost comparison of the total costs.

- In the Customizing activity Define Reasons for Cost Comparison for Each Expense Type, you candefine (for each trip provision variant and expense type) the default values for comparing costs ofreceipts with the corresponding bookings in the travel plan.

If you have defined at least one default value for the reason, the input field for the reason contains aselection list of the default values, from which users have to select one value as a reason. You canevaluate these reasons in the trip statistics.

For more information, see Activate Cost Comparisons.

New Functions in U.S. Settlement According to M&IE

Optimized Processing of Per Diems

In U.S. expense reports according to the Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) method, you can reducethe effort required to maintain the per diem rates by using the significantly reduced set of regions fromthe U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). In the Customizing activity Import US Per Diems/FlatRates from Internet, you can import the GSA data into the SAP system. Using the Business Add-In BAdI:Optimize GSA File, you can edit the GSA data (for example, add entries) before importing it into theSAP system. When you then import the per diems, the system imports only those data records for theregions specified in the GSA data, which may have been modified by the BAdI.

Reimbursement for First and Last Days of Multiday Trip

In U.S. expense reports according to the M&IE settlement method, you can specify for the first and lastdays of multiday trips what proportion of the full meals per diems is to be reimbursed. You enter thetax-free portion as specified by law and the portion that your company is to reimburse. You can alsospecify a separate portion that you use, for example, to determine the reimbursement amounts for thecustomer billing document; this specification is not used in the standard system.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 68

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

To specify the portions, you use the travel expense report constants FD_FA, FD_FZ, FD_KU, LD_FA,LD_FZ, and LD_KU, which you create in the Customizing activity Check Travel Expense Constants.

You can also use the method CHANGE_T706V_VALUES of the Business Add-In BAdI: ChangeReimbursement Amounts to overwrite the per diem reimbursement amounts calculated by the system foran expense report.

Enhancements to Credit Card Clearing Interface

New File Formats of Credit Card Companies

The expense report (including the travel expense report) supports the standard CCD format as well as thespecific file formats of the following credit card companies:

- MasterCard, file format MasterCard CDF 3

- Visa, file format VISA VCF 4

- American Express, file format AMEX GL1025

To import the credit card files with specific file formats, you require specific programs. You can findthese on the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> TravelManagement -> Travel Expenses -> Tools -> Credit Card Data -> Import Credit Card File forEach Company.

You can use the following Business Add-Ins to control how credit card files of the following formats areimported:

- File format Visa VCF4: BAdI: Adjust Visa VCF4 Credit Card Transactions

- File format AMEX GL1025: BAdI: Adjust AMEX GL1025 Credit Card Transactions

The credit card files with specific file formats use merchant category codes to classify the type oftransactions. In the following Customizing activities, you define the merchant category codes and assignthese to the transaction keys (and thus implicitly to expense types):

- Define Merchant Category Codes

- Assign Merchant Category Codes and Transaction Keys

Credit card files in the VISA VCF4 file format can contain additional blocks with detailed informationabout individual travel services, such as rental cars or flights. To enable these to be evaluated by theimport program, you have to assign the detailed information to the transaction keys and transactioncategories in the Customizing activity Assign VCF4 Detailed Information and Transaction Keys.

To import credit card files in the AMEX GL1025 file format, you have to define the account types for theAmerican Express credit card company in the Customizing activity Define Account Types for AmericanExpress (AMEX) and specify, for each account type, whether the transaction is to be paid by yourcompany or by the traveler.

For more information, see Settings for Specific File Formats.

New Fields for Additional Receipt Information

The following fields were added to the additional receipt information to include additional informationfrom specific file formats of the credit card companies:

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 69

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Departure (IATA code for the airport) - this field is also filled when an expense report is created, ifthe system uses a flight booking from the travel plan.

- Arrival (IATA code for the airport) - this field is also filled when an expense report is created, if thesystem uses a flight booking from the travel plan.

- Airline

- Flight Cabin Class

- Ticket Number

- Odometer Mileage

- Address of the provider:

- Name

- Street

- City

- District (U.S. County)

- Country

- Postal Code

- Telephone Number

When credit card files with specific file formats are imported, the SAP system imports the data from thecorresponding fields of the credit card files, provided these are specified.

The new fields for the additional receipt information are also available for user entries.

In the Customizing activity Field Control for Additional Receipt Information, you can specify whichfields the system shows or hides in the additional receipt information and which fields the user is requiredto fill.

Handling Equivalent Fields for VAT Refund

When credit card receipts are transferred from the receipt buffer, the SAP system also fills the fields(address of provider, except for telephone number and district or U.S. county) for the VAT refund in theVAT details, provided that the following prerequisites are met.

- The advanced handling of VAT is activated (see Advanced Treatment of Value Added Tax.

- The relevant fields for the VAT refund are ready for input (see Country-Dependent Field Control forVAT Details).

When an expense report is saved, the system checks whether the data specified for the refund of valueadded tax matches the address data for the provider in the additional receipt information. If this is not thecase, the system issues a warning message.

Reverse Charge Mechanism for Credit Card Transaction (CCD Format Only)

The reverse charge mechanism is a VAT-based rule that determines, in specific cases, that the customer isliable to pay VAT and not the provider. In the expense report, this rule can apply to domestic servicesprovided by a company located in a foreign country, for example, when a domestic flight is offered by an

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 70

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

airline based abroad.

The standard format for credit card files (CCD format) contains the following new fields for handlingcredit card transactions that are to be settled according to the reverse charge mechanism:

- Reverse charge indicator

- Reverse charge country (the country in which the product was purchased or the service wasprovided)

For more information about the extended CCD format, see SAP Service Marketplace athttp://service.sap.com/tm -> Travel Management in Detail -> Credit Card Clearing -> CreditCard Clearing Data Structures (>= ERP6.0 as of 01/11)

The system evaluates these fields when it adds a credit card transaction from the credit card buffer to theexpense report. If the reverse charge indicator and reverse charge country are selected and specifiedrespectively in a credit card transaction, the system sets the tax code that you have set in one of thefollowing Customizing activities, in the resulting receipt:

- If the service was provided domestically (in the home country of the trip provision variant used), thesystem uses the tax code that is entered in the VAT Code Reverse Charge field for the tripprovision variant and expense type in the Customizing activity Create Travel Expense Types forIndividual Receipts.

- If the service was provided abroad, the system uses the tax code that is entered in the VAT CodeReverse Charge field for the trip provision variant, expense type, and the country in theCustomizing activity Define Country-Dependent Default Values for Expense Types.

You can set the VAT Code Reverse Charge indicator only if the Input Tax per Travel ExpenseType is defined for the affected trip provision variants in the Customizing activity Define GlobalSettings.

This function can also be used in earlier releases by means of support packages.


You can continue to use your existing data without any restrictions.
