FIN Financials
FIN_LOC_CI_20: Business Function RE-FX, Localization Topics for Italy (New)
Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FIN 617), business function RE-FX, Localization for Italy (FIN_LOC_CI_20), you can use new functions that enable you to meet legal and business requirements in Italy in the Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) component as follows: F24 Payment File Preparation This function enables you to prepare the F24 payment file. This is relevant when the tax authorities in the municipality in which the real estate object belongs allow you to pay the property tax (ICI/IMU) using the file. You can prepare the F24 payment file and send it as a payment order to your bank. When the tax installment is due, the bank then transfers the property tax to the relevant tax office according to the F24 payment file data. ICI/IMU Form Creation You can use this function to create the ICI/IMU form when there is a change in any data that relates to a real estate object, and the change affects the property tax (ICI/IMU) calculation. You can report the changes to the public registration office by submitting the ICI/IMU form. All the changes that you reported and the details of the public registration office registered must be recorded in the cadastral master data of the architectural objects as described in Maintaining Cadastral Master Data. Registration Tax (IRE) Payback Posting You can use this function to post the IRE payback amount during the periodic posting of the contract. The system posts the amount and inserts the payback amount in the next due invoice that is sent to the tenant according to legal requirements in Italy. Splitting and Merging of Cadastral Objects You can split or merge cadastral objects to mirror changes made to the cadastral objects by the public registration office: o You split a cadastral object when, for example, the public registration office created new cadastral objects from an existing one. You need to mirror these changes in the system by splitting and closing the existing cadastral object. You merge some cadastral objects when, for example, the public registration office merged existing cadastral objects into one. You need to mirror these changes in the system by merging the relevant cadastral objects.

Posting of the Security Deposit Interest You can use this function to post the interest of the security deposit. When you sign a contract with a tenant, they must pay a security deposit to you. The tenant charges the interest of the security deposit on a yearly basis or when the contract is terminated. Note: To use this business function, you have to activate the Financials Extension (EA-FIN) Enterprise Extension.

Dates of Commodity Forwards (enhanced)
Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), changes and enhancements have been made for commodity forwards that are not related to a business function. These changes will be active immediately after the installation or upgrade. Effects on Existing Data Transaction Management: The contract end date (not visible in FTR_EDIT) of commodity forwards has been changed from forward date to payment date. This means that new or changed commodity forward transactions will be valid up to the payment date. This change can be seen, for example, when selecting transactions in the logical database FTI_TR_DEALS. It checks whether a transaction is valid at the key date of the selection. This change is effective for all new or changed commodity forward transactions in SAP enhancement package 7. Information System: The node MAIN_DATA of the logical database FTI_TR_DEALS has been enhanced by the forward date. The forward date is an additional selection and output field for commodity forwards.

Adjustment of Term End Date for Commodity Swaps and Commodity Forwards
Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), a report is provided for the derivation of the term end date for commodity swaps and commodity forwards. The system provides the report FTR_CTYINSTR_DATE_ADJUST. You use this report only once for all commodity forwards and commodity swaps that are currently processed to derive the end date of the term from the last available payment date. This is to ensure that Position Management as well as the Market Risk Analyzer uses the same date to check whether the term of a financial transaction has already expired. Note: In the past, if the last price fixing date did not match the payment date, it was not possilbe to perform a consistent valuation of positions for commodity forwards or commodity swaps. Before you can perform this report, you need to have executed the relevant support ticket. To perform this report, use transaction SE38.

External Document Number in Exposure-Relevant Transactions (enhanced)

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), changes and enhancements have been made to the External Document Number as part of the integration of Logistics with Treasury and Risk Management. For each commodity exposure created in Treasury and Risk Management, a unique external document number is automatically derived from theattributes of the preceding source documents (such as purchase orders, sales orders, and goods receipts) and of material stocks in Logistics. To enable the relevant attributes to be considered and concatenated, the maximum field length of the External Document Number field has been extended to 75 characters. The External Document ID field is displayed in the transactions FTREX1, FTREX2, and all other subsequent exposure-relevant transactions. The dynamically used field length and the displayed field content depend on the type of the source object (logistics document or material stock) and their attributes to be included: Example of a stock exposure on plant level: The material stock contains 100 tons of copper in plant 1000. The derived external document ID is Copper 1000 Example of stock exposures on storage location level: Plant 1000 includes the storage locations A and B. Storage location A contains 60

tons of copper. Storage location B contains 40 tons of copper. The derived external document IDs are Copper 1000 A and Copper 1000 B. Example of an exposure from a purchase order: Purchase order 4711 contains the position 000010. The derived external document ID is 4711000010. Note: The following BAPIs do not support this derivation: BAPI_TEX_EXPOSURE_CHANGE BAPI_TEX_EXPOSURE_CREATE BAPI_TEX_EXPOSURE_DELETE BAPI_TEX_EXPOSURE_GETDETAIL BAPI_TEX_EXPOSURE_STARTRELEASE Effects on Customizing For material stock exposures only, you can specify which attributes are considered for the automatic derivation of the external document ID. To specify this granularity, and thus to determine the structure and the field length of the external document ID, navigate in Customizing to Logistics - General -> Treasury and Risk Management Integration -> Materials Management Settings -> Material Stock Raw Exposure -> Define Relevance Settings. See also For more information, see the documentation of the report Material Stock Treasury Exposure (transaction MATREX).

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Derivative Contract Specification

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3) has been enhanced by functions for derivative contract specification (DCS). The DCS is a template for creating derivatives. It contains rules and conditions that are agreed upon at an exchange and that form the contract basis for trading with a specific commodity or for a specific financial instrument. The import and processing of market data based on DCS is supported for the product types Commodity Future and Listed Option. Each derivative can be identified by a combination of a DCS and a marketidentifier code (MIC), and a key date. New functions: Create or Change DCS (Customizing) The Customizing settings for specifying the DCS can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Functions -> Market Data Management -> Master Data -> Market Data Based on Derivative Contract Specifications -> Derivative Contract Specifications -> Specify Derivative Contract Specifications. Alternatively, you can use the transaction FDCS01. Entering DCS-Based Commodity Prices: The transaction for entering and processing prices can be found under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Market Data & Simulation for Commodities -> Market Data or under Transaction Manager -> Commodities or Derivatives -> Environment -> Market Data -> Manual Market Data Entry -> Enter Commodity Prices Based on DCS (FDCS17). Physical Commodities (Customizing): The physical commodity represents a specific good with a specific quality (charge)

traded on a futures or spot market or exchange. Physical commodities are used to determine material stock exposures based on the batches in Logistics. In the commodity master data, a physical commodity is assigned to a corresponding abstract commodity (FCZZ). The Customizing settings can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Functions -> Market Data Management -> Master Data -> Market Data Based on Derivative Contract Specifications -> Physical Commodities. Entering and Assignment of MICs to Pricing Locations/Real Commodities (Customizing) The market identifier code is a four-character international standard code (ISO 10383) that specifies a universal method of identifying exchanges, trading platforms, and regulated or non-regulated markets as sources of prices and related information to facilitate automated processing (trade, settlement, and other automated processes). The Customizing settings can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Functions -> Master Data -> Specify Market Identifier Code, and Assign Pricing Locations to MICs (TPM_MIC_LOCATION). Note: Pricing locations are assigned to real commodities that are associated with a specific abstract commodity. DCS-Based Commodity Curves: o All contract specification-based derivatives are automatically included in the commodity curve that is based on that contract (derivatives must not be assigned manually to a commodity curve). Each combination of DCS, MIC, and key date defines a grid point of the commodity curve. For all grid points, the system checks whether quotations are available. Commodity curves can be processed under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Master Data -> Maintain Commodity Curves (TANCCMASTER) and Overview Commodity Curves (TANCC11), and displayed under Market Data & Simulation for Commodities -> Market Data -> Display DCS-Based Commodity Curve (TPM_TRCO_DCSMD).

Period Definition (Customizing): A BAdI with selected default period definition methods is provided. These period definition methods determine when, for example, futures are issued, traded, or settled. The Customizing settings can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Functions -> Market Data Management -> Master Data -> Market Data Based on Derivative Contract Specifications -> Derivative Contract Specifications -> Period Determination. Enhanced Functions: Commodity Master Data: To assign DCS data to physical commodities, the Contract Basic Data tab is provided. The relevant transaction can be found under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Master Data -> Commodity (FCZZ). Financial Instruments: Listed options, commodity futures, commodity forwards, and commodity swaps (floating price/single index, average price/multiple index) have been enhanced by

DCS master data fields (see transactions FTR_CREATE or FTR_EDIT). Furthermore, the transaction Journal (TJ05) has been enhanced accordingly. Commodity Price Fixing: The transactions Automatic Interest/Price Adjustment (TJ05) as well as Reverse (TJ05_REV) now consider DCS-relevant data for commodity price fixing. Security Master Data: The class data also contains DCS-relevant data. The relevant transaction can be found under Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> Derivatives -> Master Data -> Listed Derivatives -> Class (FWZZ). Datafeed The datafeed was enhanced by a new data class for the Excel upload (transaction TBEXN). For the file upload, the file structure was adapted according to DCS requirements. Raw Exposures and Exposure Positions: The transaction FTREX1 and all subsequent exposure-relevant transactions and reports (such as FTREX12 or FTREX15) support the DCS now. Hedge Accounting for Exposures (E-Hedge Accounting) E-Hedge Accounting now supports DCS-based floating prices from Exposure Management. For this, the new risk category Commodity Category Price Risk is provided. The respective transaction can be found under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Hedge Accounting for Exposures -> Hedging Relationships -> Hedge Plan (THMEX).

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Undiscounted MtM for Commodity Financial Transactions

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3) has been enhanced by the undiscounted MtM for commodity-based financial transactions. The mark-to-market (MtM) value is a comparison of the contract price with the market price. It determines the prospective profit or loss of a financial transaction (commodity forward, swap, or future). For the MtM, the Key Figure Analysis program (AISGENKF) has been enhanced to include the key figure category MTM_UNDISC. Note: To calculate and show the undiscounted MtM, you must define a valid, formula-based key figure in the Report Layout. By specifying the evaluation date and horizon date, you define for which date the transactions and market data are selected. The Key Figure Analysis program can be found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Analytics -> Mark-to-Market & Sensitivities. Furthermore, the undiscounted MtM is also considered in the transactions NPV Analysis (JBRX) and Commodity Positions Report (TISCERN).

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Commodity Swaps

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3) has been enhanced by a symmetry function, and an automatic generation of commodity swap flows. Swap Symmetry: The sides of commodity swaps (product type 81A) are generally symmetrical in terms of the commodity ID, quantity, unit of measure, currency, spot price, and payment date. For these fields, you can specify that the system assists you with data entry by proposing symmetrical values for you to apply. Alternatively, you can make a setting for commodity swaps to be symmetrical by default.

Release Notes for SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0

Page 13 of 19

SAP

What's New? Release Notes

When you create or change commodity swaps after having opted for the setting Proposed Symmetry, the system proposes values on the other side of the swap, and you can adopt or edit these values. If you opt for the setting Forced Symmetry, both sides of the swap have to be symmetrical. The values of the fields on one side of the swap that are relevant for symmetry are automatically copied to the fields of the other side of the swap. The fields on the other side of the swap cannot be edited. Automatic Flow Generation: The flow generator assists you in creating commodity swaps and their conditions. After you have entered the conditions of a commodity swap once, the flow generator automatically generates all flows for the commodity swap. This means that you do not need to enter the data again for each flow. Effects on Customizing To activate the swap symmetry function, navigate to the Customizing activity under Transaction Manager -> OTC Derivatives -> Transaction Management -> Transaction Types > Define Transaction Types , choose a transaction type for the commodity swap (product type 81A) for processing. In the Commodity Swap screen area under Swap Symmetry, choose the value Proposed Symmetry or Forced Symmetry. To activate the flow generator for the commodity swap transaction types, navigate to the Customizing activity under Transaction Management -> Transaction Types -> Define Transaction Types . Choose a transaction type for the commodity swap (product type 81A) for processing. In the Commodity Swap screen section under Mult. Flow Gen., choose either To Be Activated for Each Transaction or Activated by Default. See also FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: TRM, Financial Risk Management for Commodities 3

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3), the system supports the reporting of open quantities and the cross-deal settlement of commodity forwards. The system now provides the report Display Open Commodity Forward Quantities (FTR_CTY_POS). You use this report to display the open quantities (that is, quantities that have not been settled) of commodity forwards before performing the related offsetting transactions. This is useful when you need to clear the purchase or sales quantities for financial transactions. This new transaction can be found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Treasury and Risk Management -> Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Trading -> Collective Processing. Furthermore, the new program Open Commodity Forward Quantities and Mass Cash Settlement (transaction FTR_CTY_POS_MCS) is provided. You can use it to display the open quantities of commodity forwards, and to trigger an automatic mass cash settlement for all selected commodity forwards. For this, the system uses the prices from the market data table of the derivative contract specifications. This new transaction can be found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Treasury and Risk Management -> Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Back Office-> Collective Processing.

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Commodity Exposure Quantity Position Reporting

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3) has been enhanced by a quantitybased reporting function for commodity price exposures. The system provides a new comprehensive table with BEx queries and a WebDynpro application giving a quantitative overview of exposure positions and commodity positions of commodity forwards and commodity swaps. If a financial or a physical transaction is changed, the respective positions are updated immediately. The high performance-data access is based on an Operational Data Provider (ODP). The data can be accessed by BEx Queries, either in an ERP system or in a BI system. The reporting is related to specific risk profiles. A risk profile represents a customer segment, like traders or consumers, and contains a set of segment-specific reporting rules. For the reporting, transactional data for Financial Risk Management for Commodities as well as additional characteristics are supported. To differentiate exposure position amounts, the following reporting groups are applied: Market price exposure (financial and physical transactions) Contract price exposure (financial and physical transactions) Material stock exposure (physical transactions only) Note: To consider financial and physical transactions that were already there before the activation of this new function, two reports are provided to transfer the respective data to the new table. Both reports can be found in the SAP Easy Access menu under Financial Risk Management for Commodities -> Exposure Management -> Tools -> Commodity Price Exposure -> Initial Load -> Initial Data Load for Financial Transactions (FTRCOEXLOADFTA) and Initial Data Load for Physical Transactions (FTRCOEXLOADTEX). Effects on Customizing The Commodity Exposure Quantity Position Reporting function can be activated in the Customizing under Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Exposure Management 2.0 -> Reporting. For individual enhancements, a BAdI is provided in the Customizing under Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Exposure Management 2.0 -> Reporting -> Risk Profiles for Commodity Price Exposures.

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Due Date Determination for Sub Raw Exposures

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3) has been enhanced by a due date determination logic for sub raw exposures. The due date determination logic determines the due date for sub raw exposures of the category Commodity Price Risk. If this logic is activated and set to Delivery Date, and if, in transaction FTREX1, Delivery Date is entered for a raw exposure with floating prices,the system automatically sets the Due Date of the sub raw exposure to the Delivery Date for all those sub raw exposures where the Pricing Date of the floating prices is before the delivery date and the fixing status is Fixed. Effects on Existing Data For existing raw exposures where the due date determination logic of the respective exposure activity type is subsequently set to Delivery Date, the user must manually update these raw exposures in transaction FTREX1. If the due date determination logic is changed from Delivery Dateto No Logic, you also need to adjust the raw exposures manually. To prevent a mixture of different due date determination logics for one exposure activity type, it is necessary to copy and adjust the respective exposure activity type. Effects on Customizing The settings for the due date logic can be found in Customizing for Treasury and Risk Management under Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Exposure Management 2.0 > Define Exposure Activity Types. Note: For more information, see the field help of the Due Date Determination Logic field. See also FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: TRM, Financial Risk Management for Commodities 3

FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3: Average-Priced Commodity Forwards

Use As of SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-FINSERV 617), business function TRM, FRM for Commodities 3 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_3), the system supports averagepriced commodity forwards. The system supports the calculation of average prices for single index-based commodity forwards. This function is integrated in the transaction framework (transactions FTR_CREATE and FTR_EDIT). The average-priced commodity forward is a sub product type of the product category Commodity Forward - 800. This type of commodity forward is related to a series of DCS-based future prices. It also supports the entry of the DCS contract size (the lot based on DCS master data). For each settlement date, the average price is calculated based on a series of fixed future prices (spot prices). At the end of the contract (due date), the average price is used to determine the settlement amount (difference between the average price and the spot price). The Customizing setting can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> OTC Derivatives -> Transaction Management -> Product Types -> Define Product Types.

In the Customizing settings for the exposure lifecycle, you can specify whether automatching needs to be performed for a given risk type. When the automatching function is activated, the system determines the predecessor of a new (or changed) exposure position. The system determines the predecessor exposure position on the basis of differentiating properties that match. The respective Customizing settings can be found under Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> Exposure Management 2.0 -> Exposure Lifecycle. Transfer from Exposure Management to Hedge Accounting for Exposures (E-HA) You can use transaction FTREX15 to transfer a range of exposure positions at once from the Exposure Management to the E-HA.
