While it’s hard to miss marketing information on SAP Fiori and SAP HANA, there are lots of other innovations in SAP Controlling you may be overlooking. Many of the innovations that went under the SAP HANA umbrella can be used on any ERP system. In this session we’ll cover:
• Using virtual InfoProviders on ERP table structures to enable new reporting in SAP Material Ledger and Profitability Analysis (account-based and costing-based)
• Activating some business functions delivered in recent enhancement packages, such as cross-company actual costing, parallel cost of goods manufactured, operation level costing, stock in transit, and many more
• Leveraging cross-company actual costing to allow SAP Material Ledger to transfer values across company codes and stock in transit as a logistics enabler
• Using parallel cost of goods manufactured and parallel asset accounting to extend parallel accounting functions originally delivered with new general ledger
Walk away with tips for modernizing your company’s CO-PA and SAP Material Ledger reporting.

In sap we have two types of bank statement are there:
Manual Bank Statement
Electronic Bank Statement
If you receive an electronic statement then you just need to upload it to sap for the purpose of
preparation of bank reconciliation statement. If it is manual one then you need to enter the
statement manually into sap.
Introduction:
An Automated Clearing House (ACH) Payment is a form of electronic funds transfer that provides
a secure, efficient method of receiving payment through the ACH Network. The ACH Network is
a batch-oriented processing and delivery system that provides for the distribution and settlement
of electronic transactions and payments among financial institutions.
ACH payments offer the following benefits:
Eliminates the handling of paper checks
Reduces any payment problems due to lost, stolen or misdirected checks
Eliminates mail delays
Provides for greater payment certainty for cash planning
Provides an opportunity to electronically update and streamline your cash application and
receivables operations
More effective and secure.
Business can execute international transactions without having a foreign bank account
ACH format creates payment media for domestic payments in the USA. Incoming and outgoing
payments in US are supported.
ACH format is in accordance with version 004000 and conforms to the specifications of the
National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA).
The National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) has worked with the Office of
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to amend ACH operating rules, minimize vulnerabilities in the
ACH network and prevent entities banned by OFAC from using the network as a conduit to send
or receive overseas funds.
NACHA Format Options: (i.e. CTX, CCD, CBR, PPD, POS, POP, PBR, IAT….etc)
In this document we will explain the creation of NACHA format file (National Automated
Clearing House Association) which need to be submitted to Banks for processing the ACH
(Automated Clearing House) transaction by CTX format
CTX Format – Corporate Trade Exchange is a NACHA format that incorporates multiple addenda
records that are structured in variable length fields. The addenda records are the remittance detail
for the ACH payment. The CTX Format is the suggested format as it is completely electronic and
therefore the most efficient

AUC is Asset under construction where some assets are in construction phase and cost needs to
capture through internal order for the time being. Once asset is fully completed then cost would
be transferred to another cost object (E.g. Cost center, Order etc...) and settle with final asset.
E.g. XYZ Company constructing building for their office. While construction many expenses are
attached to it. Till the time it is created we cannot charge it in building account hence we need to
create AUC account where cost will be stored.
Assets under construction (AUC) are a special form of tangible assets. They are usually displayed
as a separate balance sheet item and therefore require a separate account determination and their
own asset classes. During the construction phase of an asset, all actual postings are assigned to the
AUC. Once the asset is completed, a transfer is made to the final fixed asset

Enhancement Packages 5 & 6 – Where to find the business functions that matter...John Jordan
When SAP introduced the concept of enhancement packages and packaged functionality in business functions, administrators were relieved that they would not have to test everything when they upgraded. However, it made some business functions difficult to locate.
In this session from Controlling 2014, Janet Salmon dives into hard to find functionality important to Controllers including:
1. FIN_CO_COGM: Parallel valuation of cost of goods manufactured allows for different costing approaches for each accounting principle your company follows
2. LOG_MM_SIT: Actual costing and stock in transit allows you to pass production variances to other plants, even if they are assigned to other company codes
3. LOG_EAM_OLC: Operation level costing provides a more detailed view of your service and maintenance costs
4. FIN_CO_CCMGMT: New user interfaces for cost center, order and activity type master data and first planning applications
5. FIN_CO_CCPLAN and FIN_CO_ORPLAN: New user interfaces for cost center planning, order planning, and project planning
Leave this session with the ability to go back to the office and quickly identify and use the business functions that benefit you.

SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA – Moving controlling and finance closer to...John Jordan
New users have traditionally struggled to understand the way SAP separates Financial Accounting and Management Accounting where most legacy systems see the two as one. While it’s easy enough to understand how a payroll account flows from the profit and loss statement into cost center accounting because the account information stays the same, the situation becomes more challenging as a revenue account flows into profitability analysis and is transformed into a value field, or a cost of goods sold account becomes multiple value fields depending on the cost components involved. In its latest product release, SAP is bringing the two worlds closer together. In this session we’ll look at how SAP is addressing these issues with its new product SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, part of SAP Simple Finance. This presentation will delve into how the requirements for internal and external reporting are converging and how this convergence impacts SAP Controlling.
This session will cover:
*Changes to report revenue and cost of goods sold by the CO-PA dimensions and how break out the cost of goods sold into multiple accounts
*How overhead is captured and allocated either from cost centers to CO-PA dimensions (assessment) or from high-level to lower-level CO-PA dimensions (top-down distribution)
*The underlying architecture and how FI and CO line items are linked.
*New reports that visualize the transformation of expense into cost of goods sold, work in process, and assets under construction
*How the period close process has been accelerated in SAP Controlling
Get a sneak peak at the first planning applications that allow you to plan costs according to the new paradigm of SAP Simple Finance, where the account is the leading dimension for all accounting activities.
Since the official release of SAP Simple Finance during SAPPHIRE, there has been tremendous interest in the latest SAP Finance solution offering. Join this webinar to get a quick overview of SAP Simple Finance and SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA including the simplifications and innovations this solution offers, the underlying technical components, the prerequisites and deployment options available.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Transfer of depreciation from asset accounting to
controlling
The depreciation values for the international accounting principle are updated to the leading ledger in the
SAP General Ledger application (or the global accounts in the classic general ledger) and to version 0 in
controlling. The depreciation values for the second accounting principle are updated to a nonleading ledger
in the SAP General Ledger (or the local accounts in the classic general ledger) and to a delta version in
controlling.
* Improvements
Allows global manufacturing organizations to set activity prices that
take account of depreciation according to IFRS and local GAAP.
In previous releases, only the values in the leading ledger were
transferred to controlling. Other values were unavailable for
controlling and therefore could not be used to determine activity
prices and update inventory values for the goods manufactured.

24. Calculation of activity prices to reflect multiple accounting
approaches
During all operational processes (such as confirmations and backflushing in logistics), the hours worked
are valued with the planned activity rate in version 0 in controlling. At period close, activity price calculation
is used to determine the actual activity rates for the leading version (international accounting standard) and
the alternative version (local GAAP) in that period. Both are calculated as deltas to the initial standard
activity price.

Inclusion of multiple activity rates in alternative valuation run
Allows multiple valuation runs to be created to determine the value of the cost of goods manufactured. The
periodic costing run uses the activity price for the leading valuation (version 0) while the alternative
valuation run uses the activity price for the alternative valuation. It is then possible to revaluate inventory
(create closing entries) to take account of both valuations.
*
* Improvements
Reduces manual effort at period close.In previous releases, the alternative valuation run could include
different approaches to the valuation of raw materials, such as
FIFO, LIFO, and so on, and initiate activity price calculations for
the periods selected. Now activity prices for the relevant version
can be included in the run.

32. Stock in Transit for (Cross-Company-Code) Sales
Processes
During the transportation phase companies, can keep ownership of the materials that are sent to a
customer or another company code (visible as stock in transit in this company).
Alternatively, ownership for these materials (during the transportation phase) can be directly transferred to
the receiving company code (visible as stock in transit in the receiving company code).
There is also an option to move materials from one stock in transit to another.

Transport Order
* Improvements
This functionality enables companies to track and manage ownership
changes better when selling materials to a customer or another
company code.
Companies can more easily fulfill the legal requirement of showing all
the stock values in the group.
In sales processes and cross-company transfer processes, it was
impossible to model stock in transit. The ownership of the
material was not reflected correctly in SAP ERP.
When selling materials from one company code to another using the
two-step approach, the stock value did not automatically appear
in the balance sheet after the first step.

Cross-Company-Code Actual Costing
By activating this business function, you can extend material and actual costing to run across company
codes without losing actual costs and actual cost component split at the company code border. The
intercompany sales process allows transfer of the costs and cost component split information from the
sending company code to the receiving company code. Calculation of mark-up or intercompany profit in
such a value chain is also supported.

* Improvements
• Markups and transfer profits visible in cost element
• Legal valuation: show transfer profit in actual cost component split
• Group valuation: rollup of price variances
• Group valuation: rollup of actual cost component split
Up to now, customers could not transfer actual cost component split
information from one company code to another.
Marks-ups could not be used in a cross-company-code sales
scenario.

36. General Mechanism of Cost Transfer
• The new stock in transit processes secure that the inventory
value is always recorded and present in material ledger.
• When a stock transfer between company codes is posted, ML
records the value from the purchase order in parallel to the cost
at the sending side.
• The PO price is used for the legal valuation, the cost is used for
group valuation. The difference of both is shown as mark-up.
• If actual costs at sender are recalculated the mark-up and the
group costs are adjusted.

37. Comparison of Views
37
• There are 3 different implementation options:
• Legal View (LV): contains the markup, but will show no cost component
information from supply chain members outside the own company. Materials
purchased from affiliate companies will populate only the material cost
component and the markup
• Default in currency type 10.
• Transparent Legal View (TLV): Contains the markup, and will preserve cost
component information coming from affiliate companies if the logistical
process allows that.
• Activated by a BADI in currency type 10.
• Group View (GV): Can be used in parallel to the LV or TLV in a parallel valuation.
Does not show a markup, since all processes are treated as if the plants were part
of the same organization, without taking company code borders into account.
• Currency type 11 or 31.
• An implementation can use either LV or TLV. GV can be added for both
• The 2 typical scenarios to evaluate would be only TLV or LV + GV

40. Screenshots in Transparent Legal View
Plant 2000 sold 5 PC to plant

Consider the different currencies:
GBP in plant 200
EUR in plant 1000
Currency conversion will take place
using the rate GBP /EUR
The PO / Invoice Price was 4000
EUR
The cost component info is
transferred (TLV is activated via
BADI)
The consumption cost component
for the material in plant 1000 is
‘other cost’. Therefore the ‘Delta
Company Code’ is mirrored there
41. Usage of Transit Stock (Legal View)
1. Material is produced
in plant 2000 using 2
materials and one
activity
2. Material is moved
into the transit stock,
keeping its value
3. Material arrives in
plant 1000 at the PO
price of 4000 EUR
