Project: Intercompany Reconciliation(ICR), China Auto Plug Adjustments

 

Overview:

China Plug:

There is a corporate requirement to balance the books by Business Area in order to address the local GAAP.  However, due to the nature of transactions, many upstream processes that create journal entries, are not balances by BA. Due to this, a manual process is undertaken during every month-end to identify the imbalanced documents and to have appropriate action taken on them.  Considerable amount of time is being spent on Considerable amount of time being spent during local GAAP financial close and reporting and there is no appropriate documentation is available for the plug posting that balances by BA.  

In order to address this issue, this project was undertaken.  The automated process involves identifying the documents that are not balanced by BA, applying rules defined in HANA to create the auto-generated BA balanced entry.  Any exceptions that filter out are available for manual review.  Separate PAK infrastructure is provided for user interaction to identify the exception issue and take appropriate user action to balance the entries by BA.  The solution involves SAP (ECC), HANA, BW, PAK, to process millions of records on a daily basis and provide audit-able results in time for a smooth month-end financial closing. 

 

ICR:

Automate the current InterCo process using HANA.Real-time replication of FI data from SAP core.Reduce load from SAP core and use HANA for intensive processing required by InterCompany reconciliation and settlement aging .Improve usability and pro-active reconciliation by leveraging dashboards and drill down reports.Reconcile UG data with reason code attributes and drill-down to detailed data .

Some of the important projects worked:

 

Expense Planning & Forecast: Used BPC for cost center budgeting and forecast. HR headcount planning.  The forecast is done monthly and quarterly. Budget is done 3 times a year.Actuals come from ECC – New GL and HR.The app set contains expense application,HCM application, Capital(depreciation – ECC ) and a non reporting application rate. The reporting is done in BPC using EV functions. Created input schedules in BPC.Security maintained at BPC using task and member access profiles. Worked on the dimension member formulas and script logic. Created BADI’s(using ABAP) for complex and customized rules not covered by standard script logic. Currency translation functionality maintenance with required Dimensions, properties, applications, script logic, business rules and process chain maintenance. Maintained cost center hierarchy in BPC dimension. Configured Data Manager Packages to upload flat file using Conversion file and transformation files. Loaded 2 yrs of historical data with transformations . Reconciling the data of BPC , planning extracts with BI, ECC application. Creation of BPC Audit reports and comments. Prepared Planning and forecasting design documents, and process flows. Documentation, training users and supported the BPC system.

Revenue Forecasting:

This application is used the revenue forecast planners to forecast the revenue for 5 quarters. The tool is developed using the integrated planning modular. It is used to forecast revenue for Hardware, Software and Upgrade. It is used by all the planners in the whole world. The budget is done in BPS and copied it to the IP real time cube. I was involved from the requirements gathering to user training. Standard planning functions like copy, delete, etc. Also wrote Fox code and ABAP Class-SE24 - user exit for custom defined planning functions. There are 19 queries, 5 web templates and 9 planning functions. I created a custom retractor – by RFC and a BAPI to update the sales order.

 

Budgeting:

The budgeting process is carried in BPS-SEM tool. All the cost center managers do the budgeting once a year. The cost center actual delta enabled DS 0CO_OM_CCA_9 is used. The actual are copied to the forecast periods and changed by the cost center managers. This application uses the standard planning functions and plus fox code to cover the custom functionalities. Automated the whole variable maintenance process by copying the standard SAP template and enhanced it to suit the customer needs.

 

Financial Reporting:Requirement gathering, conducted user workshops, created functional specs, technical specs and hands on development from activating data source, user exits, creating & design BI objects to publishing reports in portal.

Taxware Application:

The DS is DB connect to Taxware tables. Reports generated on taxware application and used for tax filing monthly.

 

Financial/Operational Backlog Reporting:

This is a custom application since there is no standard DS available. This is a custom DS based on the function module. The report give an overview of the operations backlog, financial backlog, Deferred revenue, revenue recognized, currency exchange gain/loss, Actual bookings, actual revenue allocation, etc. The reports generated are Backlog Analysis, Backlog Aging buckets, Backlog adjustment overview, Revenue Forecast report by RF dates, Shipment report, Business Operations Backlog, Financial Backlog, Financial Order Receipts, Finance Revenue Allocation, Deferred Revenue Analysis, Contingency Orders and Dates, etc.

·   Automated the whole Z data load in ECC to BI. It automatically triggers the program everyday from the last one week of the period closing and creates the variant based on the fiscal period and year, executes the program in the background, checks the status of the program and once it is done raises an event in BW and does a RFC call to pass the input parameters to the program and triggers the process chain.

·   Created a custom date info object which has all the time attributes like cal day, fisc week, fiscal period, cal quarter, fiscal quarter, etc. This solves the fiscal quarter time char issue in the reporting.
