4 Reconciliation Process flow with ICR_002-Add-on Data Selection (1) Data Matching(2) Post Corrections * Data Presentation & Analysis(3) Communication(4) 4 * Available through programming interface (BAdI) or Online posting in case of errors

5 New Reconciliation Functionality with ICR_002-Add-on Agenda: Single Steps of ICR_002 Add-on Supported Business Processes Data model Data selection automated matching and storage Data presentation and reconciliation Communication- and tracking support Availability Technical aspects Implementation, see the last slide FAQ: Is this tool replacing the Account-based CO-PA? yes Can all postings in FI, CO-OM, CO-PC be reconciled automatically with CO-PA? yes 5

6 Steps of Reconcile FI/CO with CO-PA Retrieve relevant data from FI, CO-OM and CO-PA Store relevant data in central system Global Special Ledger Assign documents automatically based on customizable business rules (hard rules; e.g. same reference, Sales Order, Materialnumber, and so on) Access central system (local or group accountants, controller) Find matching documents using customizable business rules (soft rules; e.g. same document date, local currency, and amount) Assign matching documents Communicate with other users by and workflow Enhancement of functionality possible through BAdI (e.g. posting of correction documents in operative and/or reconciliation system) Posting from FI,CO can be overtaken Online and in Batch into the Special Ledger Postings in CO-PA can be overtaken in Batch or start the TC: FBICS2 - GL Accounts: Select Documents into the Ledger. 6

7 Supported Business Processes Reconciliation of Open Items at key date GL accounts with open item management Customer/vendor accounts with open item management Reconciliation of documents according to posting date GL accounts with posting in FI,CO-OM and CO-PA IRC_002-Addon 7

8 Data Model Mandatory characteristics Company Partner company Document Number Transaction currency Amount in transaction currency Local currency Amount in local currency Additional characteristics Any additional document characteristics Material number Sales Order Sales Order item Purchase Order / Item Any customer definable characteristics 8

9 Data Selection with SAP-Integration SAP Integration Data selection across SAP systems Access via RFC (Remote Function Call) Function modules for data selection are available for 4.6C R/3 Enterprise SAP ERP Components for data selection FI Documents FI Open Items on GL accounts FI Open Items from sub-ledgers BAdI s to select Data from outside of FI and SAP-System Automatic derivation of Company from company code Group account from operative account 9

10 Data Selection from Non-SAP Systems Non-SAP systems SAP provides a programming interface for the data selection of documents and/or balances Pull principle Data selection program calls customer specific data selection logic (BAdI)* Data selection program stores data in ICR database Example: Read from legacy system Push principle Non-SAP application calls SAP function module SAP function module stores data in ICR database Example: customer creates web transaction for supplying data (*) BAdI = Business Add In in ABAP Objects 10

11 Data Selection & Storage: FI, CO <-> CO-PA, ICR_002 Control tables RFC destinations Last selection SL Global Ledger Y2 Tables: FBICRC002A FBICRC002T Data selection process Reconciliation System CO-OM BKPF Online/ U-exit FBICS2 BAdI CO-PA CO-PC BSEG 11 Online Posting from FI, MM, SD, CO-OM, into Ledger Y2 Posting from FI, MM, SD, CO-OM, to CO-PA are extracted by TC: FBICS2 Into Ledger Y2

12 Data Selection Further Aspects Pre-requisites Data delivery from the source systems contains global characteristics Standard validations Valid companies Valid group accounts Customer specific validations SAP provides BAdI User-exit Examples for customer specific validations Valid combinations of company/profit center Valid characteristics for any sub-assignments... Monitoring Storing of logs for data selection per company Information: date, time, user, 12
