Innovations in the Information System

Description

General Innovations

List display variants which are based on the ABAP List Viewer (ALV), can be saved starting with Release 4.0a. Beyond that of course, all other new ALV functions are also available in these reports.

You can finds further information about the ABAP Listviewer in the "R/3 Library" under CA - Cross Application Components -> General Application Functions -> ABAP Listviewer.

The year-dependent commitment items are now available for all IS-PS customers. That is why as a rule, a fiscal year must be entered for the commitment item in the reports selection screen. Furthermore, you can enter a plan variant. For futher information about the new commitment item structure see New Master Data Structure: Chart of Commitment Items.

Beginning with Release 4.01A, funds centers can be time-dependent. That is why as a rule, a key date must be entered for the funds center in the reports selection screen. For further information about the new funds center structure see Time-Dependent Funds Centers.

Funds Management account assignment object authorizations are now checked in the reports according to the authorization group. For further information see New Authorizations.

Logical Database F1F

Extensive changes have be made to the logical database. If you have used F1F to create your own programs, you must - as a rule - adapt these programs to the new F1F structure. The changes are summarized below. In any case, the current structure of the F1F logical database must be displayed using transaction se36.

The changes can be divided into roughly 2 areas:

1. Changes in existing fields of nodes
1. Master data nodes FKRS, FFND, FCTR, FPOS now contain additional or other fields.
2. Budget nodes BPBT, EPBT, VEPT, BPBY, EPBY, VEPY, BPBP, EPBP now contain only amount fields in FM area currency. The budget line item nodes no longer contain fields that already exist in budget summary records.
3. The nodes FMFI, FMCO und FMCF no longer contain FM account assignments because these result from the master data node.
2. Replacements for existing nodes
1. Node FSUM was replaced by Node FMTO.
2. Former nodes FMMR, FMMM und FMZU have been replaced with the new node FMOI.

In every report selection screen which uses the F1F logical database, the following 3 new selection fields now appear:

• Report currency

• Conversion date

• Exchange rate type

Using these all amounts can be displayed in the entered report currency instead of the FM area currency.

Master Data Reporting

All reports assigned to the Master data index node in the report tree, and display no hierarchy graphics, are now based on the ALV. The default diplay variants as delivered by SAP contain in part other fields than those to date.

Summary Records

The Drilldown node in the Funds Management report tree was renamed to Summary Records. This node essentially contains drilldown reports. Beyond that it contains 2 reports based on the ALV: Under node Commitments/Obligo/Actuals program List (RFFMTO10) and under node Assigned Funds program Budget Deficits in Annual Budget. So there are 2 programs for commitment/actuals based on different tools but display the same information. The List program has all ALV functions. It cannot, however, display hierarchical information. If you are interested in hierarchical information or special drilldown functions, execute the Drilldown Reporting (2FMB40001) report. The Budget Deficits in Annual Budget RFFMAV03ls> report displays all FM account assignments with budget deficits.

Drilldown Reports

All changes which affect all drilldown reports are described in the following.

• Characteristics

• Due to the changeover to year-dependent commitment items, the Commitment Item characteristic is now technically displayed in another field. That is why this characteristic must be transferred again to all customer drilldown reports.

• The new Carryforward Level characteristic displays a status with reference to the year-end closing: If a document or one of its preceding documents stems from an earlier fiscal year, an "x" will be displayed in this column. These documents, however, will only be diplayed separately if you have activated the carryforward level. You can make these settings in the Customizing of Funds Management Government in section Actual and commitment update/integration under General settings -> Enter miscellaneous settings. For futher information about possible entries see Carryforward level for commitment documents and Carryforward level for invoices.

• The hierarchical characteristics funds center and commitment item or WBS elements must manditorily be included in all drilldown reports

• Key figures
  Key figures were completely reorganized. Beginning with Release 4.01A, the following key figures are delivered:

• For budget: Current budget value, distributed value, distributable value (for each annual budget, overall budget and period budget)
  Please remember for those drilldown reports you have done yourself, that budget key figures only have meaning in connection with Value type. Only in this connection are you able to, for example, make a differentiation in payment and commitment budget or budget and release.

• For assigned funds of budget: Assigned value, amount still available for assignment (for both the annual budget and overall budget)

• For commitment/actual: Cumulated hierarchically and hierarchically not
  cumulated.

These new key figures are already in use in the drilldown reports deliverd by SAP. Drilldown reports which you yourself have created must, as a rule, be converted to new key figures.

If in the selection screen of a drilldown report funds, funds centers or commitment items were restricted by classification, the programm now enters the selected objects in the repective select option. In doing so, it is also possible to save these selection restrictions in program variants for background processing.

The technical names of the current drilldown reports that work with funds center and commitment item hierarchies begin with a "2". Reports that work with the budget structure hierarchy begin with a "3". Reports from earlier releases that begin with a "0" should no longer be used. Only new drilldown reports are included in the current report tree.

To ensure that the current drilldown reports are working, you should, in any case, carry out the steps described in Customizing.

Line Items

The line item reports for funds transfers (RFFMEP1U), commitments in Workflow (RFFMEP1W) and commitments/actuals in hierarchical order of the FM account assignment (RFFMIEP1) hae been removed. Funds transfers are now displayed along with and by the commitments line item report RFFMEP1O.

The commiments/actuals report for assigned budget (annual budget RFFMAV01 or overall budget RFFMAV02) now display the two possible commitment types separately. They are hard and soft commitments. For further information concerning commitment types see Behavior of Availability Control in Commitment Postings.

Matching

There is a special matching programs for invoices and payments of FI documents.

Effects on System Administration

Effects on Customizing

If you want to use the new reports, you must import the report tree as well as the new drilldown reports from client 000.

To do so, carry out the following steps:

• Create/Change report selection then choose Report tree -> Import.

• Import report from client 000, for both Master data hierarchy and for Budget structure hierarchy.
