III. Cost Center and Financial Statement Report
Validation Process:-
Purpose
With the validations, you can validate the information at the time of entry in the SAP system.
In this process we will authenticate the result of “Cost Center” and “Financial Statement reports”
by each business area to be compared with consolidated result of both reports.
If system populates the same bottom-line for each business area for each cost center and
financial statement report which means that item “I. Create Cost Center Group” and “II. Edit
Financial Statement Structure” as explained above are systematically synchronized according to
SAP rules and all validation checks are completed at maximum level and in subsequent period at
cut off date we will get the standard reports within the same parameters
A. MOST POPULAR COST CENTER REPORTS (with Drill Down option):-
S_ALR_87013624 - Actual/Actual Comparison -> Cost Centers: Fiscal Year Comparison
S_ALR_87013614 - Plan/Actual Comparisons -> Cost Centers: Current Period/Cumulative
S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance
B.FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORT (No Drill down option):-
S_ALR_87012284 - Financial Statement
In this write-up we would run S_ALR_83013624 -> Cost Centers: Fiscal Year Comparison report
and this report to be compared with S_ALR_87012284 report by each business area and with MSH
consolidated financial statement report for complete validation check

of 32
A.S_ALR_87013624 - Actual/Actual Comparison -> Cost Centers: Fiscal Year Comparison
Screen Flow-01
Enter S_ALR_87013624 to SAP-easy menu and system will take you to this screen and enter
“Fiscal Year”, “From Period” and “To Period”
In this option Select Group/Values is very important option will allow you to populate MSH
consolidated result for whole Mount Sinai Hospital includes Hospital Operation, Funds, Research-
SLRI and MSS-Mount Sinai Services
In terms of business area MSH option will populate BA 1950, 1951, 1952 and 1953 surplus/deficit
and for Cost Element Group you need to enter MSHPLCF
MSHPLCF is cost element structure based on HOSP chart of account. The range of accounts and
nodes are in-line with Financial Statement Structure, basically MSHPLCF is customized cost
element structure specifically designed according to MSH reporting requirements
After entering all information hit Execute button or F8
Enter fiscal year and period
For consolidated result enter MSH

After entering Execute Button/F8 system take you to following screen. There is two button + and –
which help out to play around with shrinking scattered information. Before rolling down it is better
to collapse screen by clicking minus – as shown below
This is the CONSOLIDATED result of MSH and the sum of all business area report should tie -in
with cumulative dollar value of MSH report which is surplus/deficit of MSH

DRILL DOWN OPTION:
We can pull out any source document by putting cursor to the dollar value and the system will
take you to Level 04 documents which is main source document of the reporting transaction
There are FOUR-04 Business Areas are set-up in SAP for cost center Actual/Plan report, these are
listed below;-
Business Area Cost Center Group Cost Element Group
1950 MSHOPS MSHPLCF
1951 SLRI.1950 MSHPLCF
1952 MSHOPS.1952 MSHPLCF
1953 MSHOPS.1953 MSHPLCF
Screen Flow-03
For validation check we will run each business area report by entering transaction code
S_ALR_87013624

Similarly we need to run all other business areas report (e.g.1951/SLRI.1950, 1952/MSHOPS.1952,
1953/MSHOPS.1953) with the same cost element group MSHPLCF by using transaction code
S_ALR_87013624 and the net dollar value at the bottom of each report current actual to be
compared with MSH consolidated report the sum of each business area report should equal dollar
value of MSH total, if there is any discrepancies in tie-in number means there is variance in
reports.
B.FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORT S_ALR_87012284
S_ALR_87012284 - Financial Statement (Static/No Drill Down option)
This the report we need to run to check the authenticity of cost element structure and validation of
all cost center report generated within the same cut off period. For validation purpose this system
populated result for each business area and the result should be matched with consolidated
FINANCIAL STATEMENT report by using transaction code S_ALR_87012284
Screen Flow-01
Financial Statement report without allocation of business area, this report is being used for fiscal
year 2013 but for comparison purpose we have to enter fiscal year 2012 with reporting month
Main Fields:
Chart of Accounts: HOSP
Company Code: 1900
Financial Version: 1900
Language: EN
Chart of accounts
HOSP
Fin. statement version 1900

Screen Flow-02
After hitting executing button or F8 take you to this screen which has both balance sheet and
income statement dollar value for MSH-1900 (sum of all business areas) because we did not enter
business area field
The
sum of
this
report
should
be
matched
with
Cost
Center
Group
report
ran for
MSH

of 32
This is the point where we can compare S_ALR_87013624 and S_ALR_87012284 result at MSH
level. For confirmation of validation check both number should exactly tie -in. If in case there is
difference in result we need to go back and confirm through “Edit Financial Statement Version” by
using transaction code FSS0, if any cost element is ungrouped or Incorrectly assigned account
net result will not tie-in
B.1.FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORT BY BUSINESS AREA:-
Screen Flow-03
We can run this report by using same transaction code and system will populate FINANCIAL
STATEMENT by business area. In this screen shot we ran BA 1950
BA 1950

of 32
Screen Flow-04
After hitting execute button or F8 system will take you to this screen which has only BA 1950
result and the same we should get from MSHOPS Cost Center report by using transaction code
S_ALR_87013624. If both bottom-line tie-in means Cost Center report and Financial Statement
report are exactly match if something wrong with the result means we need to revisit to Financial
Statement structure tree and see some account are still ungrouped so first we need to remapped
missing account than result would be match
BA 1950
Bottom-
line
should
tie-in
with
Cost
Center
Group
MSH

of 32
Similarly, we will run other business area report for 1951, 1952 and 1953 and the sum of 04
business report should matched with total of 1900 Financial Statement report
Result
You have successfully validated Financial Statement reports and Cost Center reports by
comparing the bottom-line of each business area and consolidated reports. Both report are tie-in
means Financial Statement structure, Cost Element Group and Cost Center Group are perfectly
mapped and system populated accurate result
