10.2 FIN-SEM Strategic Enterprise Management

10.2.1 FIN-SEM-BCS Business Consolidation

10.2.1.1 Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS): New and Changed Functions

Use

General/Infrastructure

Transports of Business Partner Data

Transports of master data to consolidation units now let you also transport the associated business partnerinformation. As a result, you can also transport all master data of consolidation units, including theremaining customizing settings and the remaining master data of SEM-BCS.

Mapping of Predefined Attributes to Attributes of SAP Business Information Workbench (SAPBW)

SEM-BCS master data is modeled in InfoObject maintenance of SAP BW and in the structures that arefixed in the consolidation system. For example, the master record of a consolidation unit contains:

- A type and custom attributes - as defined in the BW InfoObjects

- Predefined attributes, such as the local currency key

In earlier releases, these two parts were kept separate to ensure consistency. For example, even if a BWInfoObject is created for the local currency, this object is not the same as the predefined attribute for thelocal currency, the latter of which is used in the consolidation functions. This separation ensures the dataintegrity and consistency of the data model. However, this separation also prevents BW Reporting fromaccessing the predefined attributes.

Starting in ERP 2005, you can map certain predefined attributes to their respective custom attributes. Thisprovides access to the values of these attributes in BW Reporting (when this uses the respective customattributes).

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

Increased Performance

Reading of transaction data from the transactional InfoCube has been accelerated. At the same time, theworkload when reading from the transactional InfoCube has been shifted from the database server to theapplication server.

The performance measurements in the statistics report program UC_STAT0 now show much more detail:

- Numerous new measuring points have been defined for functions, tasks, and monitor activities.

- The report program now writes ASTAT (application-specific statistics) data records, which you canuse in statistics tools such as the transactions ST30 or STAD to produce yet more detailed analyses.

If you model a matrix organization in Customizing, the system now buffers the valid combinations ofconsolidation groups in a dedicated shared memory area of the application server. This speeds up thelaunching of the consolidation monitor as well as the execution of tasks. New computations of the validcombinations of consolidation groups are now only necessary after making changes to master data.

Document analysis has been improved, which also accelerates task execution.

Task execution now displays the current status of processing progress.

MultiCube reporting now supports loading of delta datasets, which often reduces the volume of data to beread.

"Garbage Collector" for Generated Objects

The "Garbage Collector" function identifies generated objects that are no longer needed, and deletes suchobjects from the database. The function processes the following SEM-BCS-specific, generated objects:

- Selection screens for the workbench and the monitor

- Tables and views of the consolidation area

Integrated Data Collection

Collection of Master Data and Hierarchies from SAP Systems (ERP, R/3, BW)

Collection of master data has the following new functions:

- Master data and hierarchies can be collected from any SAP BW InfoObject. Two technical scenariosare possible:

- Master data of a BW InfoObject is first replicated in SAP BW from any BW data source (as inan extraction from SAP ECC) and then, in a second step, transferred to SEM-BCS.

- Master data of a BW InfoObject is virtual. In this scenario, when master data is transferred toSEM-BCS, the data is directly extracted from the BW data source and immediately loaded intoSEM-BCS.

- Combinations of consolidation units (such as companies and profit centers) can be collected from aBW InfoProvider.

- The new "Load" function features the following subfunctions:

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 7

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Source selection condition

- Target selection condition

- Mapping of sources to targets

- BAdIs for custom logic

Collection of master data also supports master data integration with the SAP ECC component EC-CS:Here you can use flexible upload to load into SEM-BCS master data files that have been downloadedfrom FI-GL and EC-PCA, despite their ECC-specific format. Mapping functions and BAdIs can be usedhere, too.

Uploading of Files That Have Been Downloaded with FI-SL Rollup

This function lets you upload files that have been downloaded from a transactional system by means ofFI-SL rollup. If you want to synchronize the customizing settings in SEM-BCS with those in atransactional system, you can export a portion of the SEM-BCS customizing settings into a file, andupload the file in the transactional system. Then you can use a rollup to write transaction data to a file, forexample, from the profit center ledger (totals table GLPCT). You can then use flexible upload to uploadthe file of transaction data into your SEM-BCS system.

Uploading of Files That Have Been Downloaded with RFBILA00

In the transactional system, you use the program RFBILA00 to write transaction data to a file. Then youcan use flexible upload in the SEM-BCS system to upload the file as reported financial data.

Management of Assets and Liabilities (Including Fair Value Differences)

The Entity "Assets and Liabilities"

You can extend your data model with the new entity "assets and liabilities." This provides the followingfunctions:

- You can maintain master data specific to this new entity (by means of manual data entry of masterdata, or automatic loading).

- You can enter additional financial data for this entity (by means of manual data entry or automaticloading). Depreciation of additional financial data is automatically continued in the periodinitialization function.

- You can extend the document database with this entity.

- The entity can be posted when you manually post documents.

"Capitalization and Valuation Allowances of Assets and Liabilities" Function

This function creates automatic posting documents that are managed by the master data and the additionalfinancial data. Posting documents are created for the following activities:

- Capitalization of new assets/liabilities with an option to record deferred taxes in the balance sheet

- Valuation allowances (that is, write-up and depreciation) of assets/liabilities

- Retirement of assets/liabilities

The entries can be posted in local currency, group currency, or both.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 8

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

Fair Value Surpluses and Fair Value Deficits

Fair value surpluses and fair value deficits (also known as hidden reserves and hidden contingencies) is atypical application for assets and liabilities. The system uses the postings in the "capitalization andvaluation allowances of assets and liabilities" function to record these fair value differences. Thesepostings are used in consolidation of investments to help calculate goodwill and minority interests in netincome or retained earnings.

Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory

Supply Chains

In earlier releases, the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory activity assumed that currentassets such as inventory were sold by one consolidation unit to another unit of the same consolidationgroup, and the second consolidation unit, in turn, sold the asset to a third party.

Now the activity can accommodate supply chains of more than two consolidation units. The systemcalculates and eliminates the interunit profit or loss along the entire supply chain within a consolidationgroup. Entries are posted with posting level 30 (consolidation group-dependent entries).

Equity Method

The elimination of interunit profit/loss in transferred inventory is now able to treat consolidation unitsaccording to their accounting technique.

The activity supports the accounting techniques purchase method, equity method, and the new accountingtechnique equity method for nonconsolidated units. (The new technique applies to consolidation units,whose upper units have a controlling interest, but are nevertheless merely included using the equitymethod.)

The interunit profit/loss of a consolidation unit using the equity method is only partially realized.Therefore, only the group share is eliminated. An exception is when a consolidation unit using thepurchase method sells an asset to a nonconsolidated unit: In this case, the system eliminates the entireinterunit profit/loss because of the controlling influence of the upper unit.

Equity method entries are posted to the upper unit of the "equity method consolidation unit," which isanalogous with the subsequent activity in consolidation of investments (C/I). Likewise, elimination ofinterunit profit/loss in transferred inventory reuses the posting items that are specified in the C/Icustomizing settings for equity method postings.

Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Assets

The elimination of interunit profit/loss in transferred assets activity features the following functions:

- Elimination of interunit profit or loss incurred from sales of assets within a consolidation group

- Adjustments to depreciation at the buyer of the asset

- Post-transfer: an option to continue depreciation according to the settings of the seller or buyer

- Inclusion of incidental costs for the buyer and (when applicable) for the seller when calculating theinterunit profit/loss and the depreciation adjustment

- Posting logic that takes into consideration impairment tests for the buyer

- Processing of supply chains

- Reversal of all elimination entries when an asset is sold to a buyer that does not belong to theconsolidation group (sale to third-party)

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 9

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Elimination of interunit profit/loss incurred when a self-constructed fixed asset is sold

- A scrap value can be entered for each noncurrent asset

- Logging of the results of the elimination of interunit profit/loss in transferred assets

- Collection of all applicable data using manual data entry or automatic means (such as flexibleupload)

- Data model for assets and liabilities, which enables the seller and the buyer to enter the asset dataindependently from each other

Consolidation of Investments

Mutual Stock Method

This release fully supports the accounting technique "mutual stock method." The mutual stock method isan alternative accounting approach to the equity method for use in management consolidation. However,the mutual stock method is normally not permitted in statutory GAAPs (generally accepted accountingprinciples).

Organizations typically employ the mutual stock method in management consolidation when aconsolidation unit is consolidated with the purchase method in the top consolidation group of a hierarchyof consolidation groups, and when that consolidation unit is contained in lower-level consolidationgroups, as well. The consolidation unit is consolidated using the purchase method in one of thelower-level consolidation groups, whereas it is consolidated using the mutual stock method in the otherconsolidation groups.

Reporting of units consolidated with the mutual stock method is the same as with the equity method. Boththe reported financial data and the two-sided eliminations are not shown in reporting (except for theentries for elimination of investment income). However, consolidation of investments entries are shownin reporting.

When the mutual stock method is used, the activities elimination of investment income and consolidationof investments produce postings that are complementary to those of the purchase method. This providesfor easier interpretations of the results when dealing with complex hierarchies of consolidation groups:The sum of the results for each consolidation group reflects the overall result of the top consolidationgroup. No adjustments are necessary for the top consolidation group (in contrast to the equity method).

Other advantages of the mutual stock method:

- Financial statement balancing adjustments are posted at the investee units (the "originators" of theimbalances) - not at the upper units as in the equity method.

- Upper units themselves can be consolidated with the mutual stock method. (Currently, the equitymethod does not permit the consolidation of upper units.)

In this release, the following functions have been modified to accommodate the mutual stock method:

- Data modeling:SAP BI standard content contains the new InfoObject 0BCS_DIDIE (direction indicator forelimination of investment income). To use the mutual stock method, this InfoObject needs to beadded to the totals InfoCube, and to the data basis and consolidation area.

- Manual and automatic elimination entries for investment income are posted to the new field"Direction Indicator for Elimination of Investment Income."

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 10

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Consolidation of investments posts entries for the mutual stock method.

- All group-dependent consolidation functions (reclassifications on posting level 30; consolidationgroup validations) have been modified.

- Reporting functions have been modified.

Goodwill in Divestitures

IAS 36 (rev. 2004) introduces new rules for the treatment of goodwill when part of an investment or anentire investment is sold. Divestitures that do not cause the loss of control over an investee unit no longerdirectly result in a reduction in goodwill that is proportionate to the reduction in ownership. Instead, thegoodwill entry remains unchanged, at first. In a subsequent step, however, the goodwill is tested forimpairment and adjusted if necessary.

To meet this requirement, you can use the version-dependent setting Goodwill in Divestitures to choosehow to reduce goodwill:

- Proportionately to the divestiture (the behavior in earlier releases)

- Completely or not at all (standard behavior starting with this release)

If you choose complete or no reduction, there is another indicator that determines whether the goodwill isreduced completely or not at all. This indicator is located in the investment data that triggers the activity.

If goodwill is not reduced, the system computes the arithmetic difference which, according to traditionalposting logic, would have been recorded as a goodwill impairment, and posts that amount as a gain fromdivestiture to the income statement.

However, if the goodwill entry is completely reduced, the amount to be posted consists of two elements:The effect on net income is computed in the same way as in a partial divestiture without goodwillreduction. The complete original value of goodwill and the accumulated amortization are reduced. Theoffsetting entry affects net income, as well.

Goodwill in Acquisitions

New rules of IFRS/IAS in IFRS 3 and IAS 36 (rev. 2004) require flexible treatment of goodwill as part ofregular testing for impairment, and provide accountants with more freedom in deciding how to treatgoodwill when changes in ownership occur. New functions have been implemented to accommodatethese rule changes:

New Goodwill Treatment "Direct Writeoff"

You can directly write off goodwill with an effect on net income.

New Goodwill Amortization Method "Goodwill Amortization Over Remaining Life"

The goodwill treatments ordinary amortization and periodic reduction allow for unchanging reductionsto goodwill in which the begin and the life of the goodwill entry is defined in the consolidation ofinvestments method. Up to, and including, SAP SEM Release 4.0, the system always computed theamount of ordinary amortization based on the original acquisition cost, and extraordinary amortizationsin later periods had no effect on the amounts of ordinary amortization (straight-line amortization over theentire life). Starting in this release, you can use goodwill amortization over remaining life, which adjuststhe actual life after an extraordinary amortization (write-down) or write-up occurs.

New Activity "Capitalization of Manual Goodwill"

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 11

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

You can use this new activity to capitalize a goodwill entry you have manually created. As a prerequisite,you need to have created the manual goodwill entry specifically for this activity. This activity capitalizesthe goodwill and posts an offsetting entry to the goodwill offsetting item. (In contrast, the offsetting entryfor automatically-created goodwill is posted to the investment and equity items.) You have the option tocapitalize a type of goodwill that is independent of the actual percentage of investment ownership and,hence, is not affected by any subsequent divestitures or transfers of that investment.

Subsequent Changes to Goodwill Settings

You can make subsequent, manual changes to the goodwill original value, the method of goodwilltreatment, and the negative goodwill indicator for automatically-created goodwill entries in the periodthey are created. When you execute the consolidation of investments task again, the system takes thesetting changes into account. This function is not available for goodwill entries that have been created intransfers or organizational changes.

New Customizing Setting "Goodwill Treatment in Acquisitions"

You can define how goodwill is treated for all direct acquisitions (other than first consolidations) and forall indirect acquisitions. If you make this setting, it overrides the respective settings in the consolidationof investments method. For example, this lets you specify across-the-board that all goodwill incurred inindirect acquisitions is to be directly eliminated.

"Goodwill Treatment" Field Within the Additional Financial Data for Goodwill

This field enables the system to always treat a goodwill entry according to the goodwill treatment, forwhich the goodwill entry was activated - that is, independent of the current setting in the consolidation ofinvestments method and independent of the new global customizing settings for goodwill treatment.

Historical Posting Mode

This tool enables the migration of legacy postings of consolidation of investments from EC-CS toSEM-BCS. It calculates new statistical postings of consolidation of investments by executing thehistorical entries of consolidation of investments. The following prerequisites must be given:

- You need to transfer the totals data that was created in consolidation of investments from EC-CS(for the fiscal year for which you are using the tool).

- You need to transfer the reported financial data (investments, equity, and so on) from EC-CS (forthe complete history).

- You need to transfer the additional financial data for goodwill from EC-CS (for the completehistory).

- EC-CS and SEM-BCS need to have the same settings for consolidation groups, consolidation units,consolidation of investments methods, and statistical items.

Local Sorting of Activities

Consolidation of investments activities are executed in a specific sequence. The system automaticallydetermines this sequence; however, you can manually override this. In addition to such manualadjustments to the sequence of activities, which considers all activities at once (global sorting ofactivities), this release introduces "local sorting of activities." Local sorting allows you to group activitiesby investee units, which you can then separately display or sort. (This feature already exists in EC CS.)Although local sorting of activities is less flexible than global sorting, it provides a clearer overview, in

10.3.8.4 Customer/Vendor Integration (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) Customer/VendorIntegration for the business partner is part of Master Data Synchronization. Master DataSynchronization can synchronize master data objects within an SAP System that are similar from abusiness perspective yet technically different. It ensures the seamless integration of various SAPapplications into business processes.

FI Customer/Vendor Integration for the business partner is now called Customer/Vendor Integration.The terms FI customer/customer and FI vendor/vendor can be used interchangeably within Master DataSynchronization.

Customer/Vendor Integration has been enhanced with the following functions:

- Bidirectional synchronization (new)Synchronization takes place in both directions between customer, vendor, and business partner.When the business partner is updated the corresponding customer/vendor can be updated at the sametime. Likewise, when the customer/vendor is updated the corresponding business partner can also beupdated at the same time.

- Posting (changed)

- A new method is available for posting data in the customer/vendor master records. The postinglogic is not dependent on the interface.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 31

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- The method for posting both customer master records and vendor master records inCustomer/Vendor Integration is the same.

- The batch input for the vendor that was used to date has been completely removed.For further technical information about the change in posting logic, see SAP Note 851444.

- Data assignment (enhanced)The following enhancements and changes have been made to data assignment:

- You can process tax numbers centrally for the business partner, customer, and vendor on theIdentification tab page. Data entered in the Tax Numbers section is assigned to the taxnumber fields for the customer and vendor.

- You can assign the vendor field to business partners in customer-based BP roles or the customer field to business partners in vendor-based BP roles in online processing mode.

- The trading partner field no longer appears several times on the business partner interface. Itcan be updated in customer master records and vendor master records.

- The following attributes for the contact person can be synchronized between the businesspartner and customer master data:- Department Numbers- Functions- Authority- VIP IndicatorTo do this you have to activate the assignment of contact persons and make the requiredassignments in Customizing for Master Data Synchronization. For more information, see thedocumentation for the corresponding IMG activities.

- The standard industry of the standard industry system for the business partner is alsotransferred to the vendor master record.

- All data assignments defined in the standard system can be overridden by implementing the Business Add-In (BAdI): Data Assignment BP <-> Customer/Vendor/Contact Person for theenhancement spot CVI_CUSTOM_MAPPER (Data Assignment Between BP andCustomer/Vendor/Contact Person). Card masters and bank data can also be enhanced. SAPwill supply a standard implementation for this.

- There are new assignment tables for links between business partners, customers, and vendors.All links created are stored in the following tables:- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Customer and Business Partner- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Vendor and Business Partner- CVI_CUST_CT_LINK Link Between Relationship and Contact Person for CustomerIn addition the assignment tables BD001 Business Partner: Assignment Customer -Partner and BC001 Business Partner: Assignment Vendor - Partner are still availablefor entries that already exist. It is not necessary to convert these tables in this release, as thenew access logic includes both of these tables.

- The following attributes for the contact person can be synchronized between the businesspartner and customer master data:- Department Numbers- Functions- Authority- VIP IndicatorTo do this you have to activate the assignment of contact persons and make the requiredassignments in Customizing for Master Data Synchronization. For more information, see thedocumentation for the corresponding IMG activities.

- The standard industry of the standard industry system for the business partner is alsotransferred to the vendor master record.

- All data assignments defined in the standard system can be overridden by implementing the Business Add-In (BAdI): Data Assignment BP <-> Customer/Vendor/Contact Person for theenhancement spot CVI_CUSTOM_MAPPER (Data Assignment Between BP andCustomer/Vendor/Contact Person). Card masters and bank data can also be enhanced. SAPwill supply a standard implementation for this.

- There are new assignment tables for links between business partners, customers, and vendors.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 52

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

All links created are stored in the following tables:- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Customer and Business Partner- CVI_CUST_LINK Assignment Between Vendor and Business Partner- CVI_CUST_CT_LINK Link Between Relationship and Contact Person for CustomerIn addition the assignment tables BD001 Business Partner: Assignment Customer -Partner and BC001 Business Partner: Assignment Vendor - Partner are still availablefor entries that already exist. It is not necessary to convert these tables in this release, as thenew access logic includes both of these tables. You have the option of converting these tablesusing the reports CVI_MIGRATE_CUST_LINKS (Convert Assignment Table for LinkBetween BP and Customer) and CVI_MIGRATE_VEND_LINKS (Convert AssignmentTable for Link Between BP and Vendor).

In the Customizing for the area Synchronization Control you can activate or deactivate both thesynchronization of an individual object pair and the synchronization in a certain direction. The followingsynchronization scenarios are supplied in the standard system:

- Synchronization of business partner to customer

- Synchronization of business partner to vendor

- Synchronization of customer to business partner

- Synchronization of vendor to business partner

In the Customizing for the area Customer/Vendor Integration you can execute all specific IMGactivities and Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for the object pairs business partner/customer and businesspartner/vendor.

For detailed information about the steps to be carried out, see the documentation for the IMG activitiesand Business Add-Ins (BAdIs).

For more information about the new, changed, and deleted IMG activities and Business Add-Ins forCustomer/Vendor Integration, see Changes to the IMG for the SAP Business Partner for FinancialServices.

In addition to manually synchronizing Customizing settings for the business partner and thecustomer/vendor you can automatically synchronize certain Customizing settings in certaincircumstances. The following reports are available for this purpose. These can be executed from withinthe Synchronization Cockpit:

- Synchronize Customizing for Contact Person Attributes (CVI_MAPPING_CONTACTS)

- Synchronize Customizing for Legal Form and Legal Status (CVI_MAPPING_LEGAL_FORM)

10.3.10.4 FIN-FSCM-TRM-TM Transaction Manager

10.3.10.4.1 BAPIs in the Foreign Exchange Area (New)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) there are new BAPIs inthe foreign exchange area.

The following methods already exist for the business object ForeignExchange:

Method Function module

Change BAPI_FTR_FXT_CHANGE

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 60

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

Create BAPI_FTR_FXT_CREATE

CreateSwap BAPI_FTR_FXT_CREATESWAP

GetDetail BAPI_FTR_FXT_GETDETAIL

PrepareChangeStructure BAPI_FTR_FXT_PREP_STRUC

Reverse BAPI_FTR_FXT_REVERSE

Settle BAPI_FTR_FXT_SETTLE

The interfaces for the existing BAPIs have not been changed and their functions have only changedslightly:

- The BAPIs return a success message in the RETURN parameter due to a success. Warning messagesare returned for the consistency check.

- If errors occur, an error message is included in the RETURN parameter as well as error and warningmessages that have occurred in the consistency check.

After the coding has been restructured and grouped together for services, the architecture of the BAPIs inthe foreign exchange area is as follows:

In the function group FTR_API, services are provided using function modules. These services correspondto processing a tab page for the online transaction. In the BAPIs, the services are simply called up in theappropriate sequence and supplied with data. This means you can easily create additional BAPIs. IfBAPIs do not fulfill the required functions, customers can create a remote-enabled function module in thecustomer namespace which calls up the required services.

The business object ForeignExchange has been enhanced using the following new methods:

Method Function module

DealCreate BAPI_FTR_FXT_DEALCREATEDealChange BAPI_FTR_FXT_DEALCHANGEDealGet BAPI_FTR_FXT_DEALGET

- With the DealCreate method you can now create a foreign exchange transaction completely withonly one call. You must enter the general data, data for a specific product category, payment details,and other flows for the method.

- With the DealChange method you can change all the data for a foreign exchange transaction withonly one call-up. You must enter the general data, data for a specific product category, paymentdetails, and other flows for the method.

- The DealGet method gets the complete data for a foreign exchange transaction (general data, datafor a specific product category, payment details, and other flows).

For the new BAPIs, the concept of selected field changes has been changed. Now a change parameterexists, also when creating, for a structure or table parameter. This change parameter indicates the fields ofthe parameter that are to be transferred. This means it is also possible to create fields without a value, thatwould usually have default values in the application.

Since payment details and other flows possibly occur several times and are therefore to be transferred as

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 61

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

tables, the TABLEINDEX column exists. This column creates a unique assignment between a parameterentry and a change parameter entry.

The parameters PAYDET_COMPLETE_INDICATOR and ADDFLOW_COMPLETE_INDICATORalso exist for the payment details and other flows. These parameters specify whether the entries that aretransferred to the table are complete or not. If they are set, the transferred entries are complete and existin the transaction. However, entries that are not transferred in the BAPI are deleted. If they are not set, thetransferred entries are changed and created.

10.3.10.4.10.2 Bond Issues (Enhanced)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-F 600) you can map issues frombonds. The following functions are available:

- Positioning an issue is mapped using a new transaction category. There is likewise a separatetransaction category for an issue redemption. Multiple issue transactions can be created for an IDnumber. Positioning and redemptions are possible for product categories 040 - Bond and 042 Bondwith Installment Repayment.

- Condition-based flows (interest, repayments) can be posted using a payer/payee or payment request.Information from the master data of the respective securities account is used as the default value.You can override this information when posting condition-based flows or other flows manually.

- When entering issue transactions, issue charges can be accrued/deferred for the term of a bond.

- For the accrual/deferral of interest and the calculation of amortizations and valuations, the samefunctions are available as for asset positions.

- Securities account positions or subledger positions for issues are displayed with positive nominalamounts and negative values.

- For evaluation purposes, the issue position can be grouped with hedging instruments (for example,swaps) using a reference. The new reference category ICH - Issuance Contract Hedge is availablefor this purpose.

The following restrictions apply:

- It is not possible to assign a liability position to an issue program.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 71

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Redemptions from issues are only possible in the same liability securities account and the samegeneral valuation class as for positioning. The system therefore does not display redemption andpositioning as separate positions. This means it is not possible to map redemptions as separate assetitems (for example, according to German Commercial Code).


You need to make settings for issues in the following IMG activities:

Define Securities Account CategoriesHere you create securities account categories for securities account type 2 - liability securities account.Positioning and redemptions of issues can only be entered in securities accounts with a category of thatkind.

Define Transaction TypesHere you define transactions types for the new transaction types 300 - issue: positioning and 400 - issue:redemption.

In the IMG activity Assign Update Types to Condition Types, you define update types for conditiontypes for asset and liability positions.

For more information see the release notes on reporting Issue Position.

10.3.10.4.10.3 Securities Account Master Data (Enhanced)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) you can specify thesecurities account category, securities account type, and payment information in the securities accountmaster data.

The securities account category distinguishes asset securities accounts from issuance and lendingsecurities accounts. Only security issues are managed in issuance securities accounts. Only lent securitiesthat are part of a securities lending transaction are managed in lending securities accounts.

In addition to the house bank, house bank account, and payment currency, you can now specify furtherpayment information. This information is used as default value if condition-based flows are posted fromthe relevant securities account (interest, dividends, repayments) using a payer/payee or payment request.


It is not necessary to adjust or change data for securities accounts that already exist in the system. Thesystem treats securities accounts without a securities account category as asset securities accounts.

Syndicated Facility (New)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) you can mapsyndicated facilities as well as bilateral facilities.

The following new functions exist:

- You can assign multiple business partners (banks) as facility participants to a facility. You canvariably determine the issued commitment for each facility participant both individually and duringthe term. This makes it possible, for example, to map a dependency over time of the banksparticipating in the facility.

- One of the banks takes on the leading role of the administrative agent. This bank carries out allcorrespondence and processes all payments, amongst other things. You can assign a rank that youdefined beforehand in Customizing, to the other syndicate members. You can make time-dependentrank assignments.

- One of the banks participating in the facility can assign its commitment either completely or partlyto the secondary market, in other words, to other banks. You can store information about this fordocumentation purposes in the system.

- You can define multiple lines of credit for a facility. In addition to the main line of credit whichdescribes the total credit lines, you can also determine further sublines of credit and assign them tospecific facility participants.

- You define the lines of credit that can be assigned to the facilities in a separate transaction. Whendefining swinglines (sublines of credit for short-term financial borrowing in a foreign currency), youcan define the appropriate foreign currency. Drawings from the swingline are then always translatedinto this currency. When defining a line of credit, you can also enter whether a drawing is permittedon this credit line or whether it can merely be used to define further sublines of credit.

- When drawing on a facility you have two options:

a) Syndicated Drawing:The drawn amount is split between all syndicate participants according to their confirmed

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 73

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

amount.

b) Competitive Bid:The requested amount is provided by one single bank only.

- To calculate charges that are due on the utilization or non-utilization of the facility, you can definescaled charges. For example, you can define a charge amounting to 10 basis points for utilizationbelow a threshold amount. For greater utilization you define a charge of 15 basis points.


The data from the bilateral facilities that already exist in the system must not be adjusted or changed.


In addition to the IMG activities for bilateral facilities, the following activities are relevant for syndicatedfacilities:

- Define Product Types:With the facility category field you control whether bilateral or syndicated facilities are mappedwith the facility product type. If the facility category field is not filled, the system assumes it is aproduct type for bilateral facilities per default. In addition you can determine whether to considercompetitive bids when calculating utilization charges.

- Define Partner Rank:Here you define the ranks that can be assigned to the syndicate participants.

10.3.10.4.10.5 Securities Class Data (Enhanced)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) the generalclassification system was included in the transaction FWZZ - Class.


To use the classification system, you need to make the necessary settings in Customizing under ActivateLink to Classification Tool. Then when you call up the transaction FWZZ - Class, the Classification tabpage also appears for the selected product type.

10.3.10.4.10.6 Foreign Exchange Transactions Using the XI Interface (New)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600), the TransactionManager for Treasury and Risk Management provides XI interfaces for automatically transferringtransactions that were concluded on a marketplace.

The following financial products from the Foreign Exchange Transactions area are currently supported:

- FX Spot und Forward

- FX Swap

- FX Options (plain vanilla)

In contrast to the previous BAPI interfaces, XI interfaces function independently of their Customizingsettings, Customizing terms, and their organizational structure. It is sufficient for your business partner (acounterparty or a marketplace) to simply send you the structure characteristics of the transaction.

Note:

The MiniApps in the CFM area of the Transaction Manager were prototypes and were based on theBusiness Connector. This technology is no longer used. The MiniApps have therefore been deactivated.


You can use tools from the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) to technically map external formats (forexample, XML) to the SAP XI interface TreasuryDealNotification . There are two new Business Add-Ins(BAdIs) for business mapping. You can use these, for example:

- when translating the external partner ID to the key in your business partner master data.

- for specifying terms that depend on your Customizing settings (for example, product types andtransaction types).

Received transactions are held and further processed in different data structures. The following steps arecarried out sequentially:

1. Internal SAP Step: The system converts the XI message and preassigns the EXT structures.

2. Call BAdI:(FTR_XI_INTERFACE_MAPPING, Method MAPPING )You can implement this BAdI if, for example, you prefer the actual view of the

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 75

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

TreasuryDealNotification message type or you have enhanced the interface with your ownfields/elements.

3. Internal SAP Step: Default values of INT structures.

4. Call BADI:(FTR_XI_INTERFACE_MAPPING, Method GET_ID_TYPES):Here you give SAP the ID types for the business partner identification from the view of the provider(counterparty) or exchanges.

5. Internal SAP Step: When you have informed SAP of your ID types, SAP tries to select an existing business partnerusing this data and the "external" business partner ID included in the message. Note: (See SAPbusiness partner master data, tab page "Identification." Alternative ID numbers can be defined thereand assigned to the "ID types.")

6. Call BAdI: (FTR_XI_GENERAL_MAPPING, Method PRE_MAPPING)You can implement this BAdI to carry out, for example, checks and further steps that are only usefulafter successful conversion of the business partner IDs.

7. Call Derivation Tool:Two sequences are always carried out here:

- Sequence for general transaction information.

- Sequence for specific mapping for each financial product.

If you have not implemented any of these BAdIs up to now, you must execute the externalbusiness partner IDs for internal business partner IDs and their company code (requestor), andassign a product type and transaction type. Other fields are optional.

8. Call BAdI: (FTR_XI_GENERAL_MAPPING, Method POST_MAPPING)You can implement this BAdI to make, for example, checks and further steps that are only usefulafter processing in the derivation tool.

9. Internal SAP Step: You must have specified all data in the required fields to create the transactions. BAPI interfaces areused to check and create the transactions.


You can find the new BAdIs in the IMG under Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> TransactionManagement -> External Link

- BAdI: Receive XI Message Type "TreasuryDealNotification" (FTR_XI_INTERFACE_MAPPING)Here you have complete access to the TreasuryDealNotification interface or the enhancements.

- BAdI: Receive Financial Transactions (General View)(FTR_XI_GENERAL_MAPPING)Here you have access to flat structures that have already been processed. They should facilitate

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 76

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

mapping and how you proceed.

Further transactions are also available that allow mapping with the derivation tool. You can also defineassignments and derivation rules without any programming knowledge:

- Mapping for general transaction information.

- Mapping for spot exchange and forward transactions

- Mapping for foreign exchange swaps

- Mapping for currency options

10.3.10.4.10.7 Asset Backed / Mortgage Backed Securities for Investors (New)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600) , you can map assetbacked securities (ABS) and mortgage backed securities (MBS) from the view of an investor. Thefollowing functions are available:

- There is the new product category 042 - Bond with Installment Repayment for ABS / MBS. Everytranche has its own ID number. In the class data, the new Tranche Classification field and ExpectedEnd of Term field are available as basic data. You can also assign a rank to the various businesspartners involved. You can enter data on the underlying asset pool for every ID number. You canmap repayments within redemption schedules using factors or nominal amounts. You can also mapABS / MBS repayments flexibly as installment repayments.

- Based on enhancements in the class data, the following BAPIs have been adjusted accordingly:BAPI_FP_CREATEFROMDATA Create Class

BAPI BAPI_RSS_CREATE Create Redemption Schedule Set

BAPI_RSS_CHANGE_SCHEDULE Change Redemption Schedule

BAPI_RSS_ADD_SCHEDULE Add Redemption Schedule

BAPI_FP_GETDETAIL Read Class

BAPI_RSS_GET_DETAIL Read Redemption Schedule

- The system differentiates between the original nominal amount and the nominal amount for productcategory 042 - Bond with Installment Repayment. The original nominal amount is the amount thatexists without taking into account the nominal amount that has already been repaid.

- Specify the original nominal amount when creating a purchase or sale. The system calculates thenominal amount based on the relevant redemption schedule in the class. The nominal amount can beadjusted within specific limits. The corresponding factors in the redemption schedule cannot bechanged.

- You specify the original nominal amount for a securities account transfer, a valuation class transfer,and for exercising rights of notice. The corresponding factors in the redemption schedule cannot bechanged.

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 77

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- You can adjust the nominal amount within specific limits for manual debit positions. Thecorresponding factors in the redemption schedule cannot be changed.

- A new component is available for accumulated repayments in position management within the newposition management category 8 - Securities/Loans with Installment Repayment (WithoutIndex-Linked Bonds). Therefore, the system does not recognize an installment repayment as outflowand does not calculate rate gains/losses.

- Fields are now available for the original nominal amount and for the accumulated repayments wheninitializing a new valuation area and for the legacy data transfer.

- The current redemption schedule is fixed in the class master data for every amortization flow. Thecash flow and the effective interest rate are therefore still recognized at a later date. This meansdifferent variants of the effective interest method are provided to calculate amortization results.(Immediate adjustment of effective interest rate, deferred adjustment, or constant effective interestrate). You can also waive amortizations for installment repayments.

For loans from SAP Loans Management that are created and repaid in release mySAP ERP 2005, you canuse the new functions in the Position Management of Treasury and Risk Management to manageinstallment repayments (position management procedure and amortization procedure).

The following restrictions apply:

You cannot change the nominal amount in the interest condition period (regarding the calculation date)for product category 042 - Bond with Installment Repayment. Otherwise, the system does not calculatethe interest amount correctly. You must therefore choose an interest period that is small enough in theclass.


- Classes with other product categories cannot be managed with the new position managementcategory 8 - Securities/Loans with Installment Repayment (Without Index-Linked Bonds).

- It is not possible to transfer positions with previous position management categories to the newposition management category 8 - Securities/Loans with Installment Repayment (WithoutIndex-Linked Bonds). This means that the new function for managing installment repayments cannotbe used for repaid loans from SAP Loans Management that were already managed in the PositionManagement of Treasury and Risk Management.


The following IMG activities are relevant for ABS / MBS:

- Classify Asset PoolHere you can define classifications for the asset pool. Different tranches (= ID numbers in thesystem) are formed from an asset pool. You then assign a classification for the underlying assetpool in the class master data.

- Define Security TrancheHere you can define classifications for tranches. You then assign a classification for the ID numberin the class master data.

- Define Partner Rank

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 78

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

Here you define the ranks that the different partners can have. You then assign a rank to differentpartners in the class master data.

- Define Position Management ProcedureThe new position management category 8 - Securities/Loans with Installment Repayment (WithoutIndex-Linked Bonds) is available in the position management procedure. A separate component isavailable for accumulated repayments for positions of this kind.

- Define Amortization ProcedureThere are two new settings options in the amortization procedure. For the Treatment of EffectiveInterest Rate (SAC), you can specify which cash flow and effective interest rate should be used tocalculate amortization results. You use the Amortizations for Installment Repayments indicator tocontrol whether the system generates such amortizations.

10.3.10.4.10.8 Securities Lending Transactions (New)

Use

As of release SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financial Services 6.0 (EA-FS 600), you can map securitieslending as financial transactions in the system. This is restricted to transactions in which a position in thesystem is lent to another company. Securities lending transactions are mapped using product category 770(contract type derivatives).This function is available for all financial transactions in Treasury and Risk Management, regardless ofthe product category.

The following functions are also available:

- You can create fixed and open-ended securities lending transactions. You can roll over fixedsecurities lending transactions and terminate open-ended securities lending transactions.

- You transfer a lent value (partial) position at the start of the securities lending term from thesecurities account to a lending securities account. You transfer it back at the end of the securitieslending term.

- The lent positions are still visible in subledger position management and can be valuated.

- The system makes sure that lent positions cannot be sold or transferred to other securities accounts.

- You can define whether dividends or interest flows are generated for lent positions or not usingsettings in Customizing.

- You can define the revenues from a lending transaction using two methods:

- As a percentage which refers to the market price (number or nominal amount multiplied by themarket price) when the contract was concluded.

- As a fixed amount

You can enter a calculation frequency and other payment information for both methods.

- You can define two types of collateral for a transaction:

______________________________________________________________SAP AG 79

SAP-System______________________________________________________________

- Securities collateral:The collateral can be defined time-dependent in the system. (The system does not make anypostings to the general ledger.) If the relevant data exists in the system, the system displays therelevant market values.

- Cash collateral:Is entered as a flow and can be posted to the general ledger so that it can be displayed as aliability in the balance sheet if necessary.

The following restrictions apply with regard to mapping securities lending transactions in the system:

- You cannot map any securities lending transactions in which a position is borrowed from anothercompany.

- The number (or nominal amount) of the lent security must be fixed for a specific period / time. Itcannot be changed during the term, notice, or rollover.

- No positions are managed for the defined securities collateral. This means that positions cannot bevaluated and do not appear in reporting. Therefore, interest and dividends cannot be calculated.

- It is not possible to exercise rights on lent positions or carry out corporate actions.

- It is not possible to valuate a securities lending transaction.Note: This only applies to the securities lending transaction as an independent entity but not for lentsecurities which can still be valuated.


The following IMG activities are relevant for securities lending transactions:

- Define Product Types and Define Transaction TypesNote: During the definition of the product type, you need to enter whether it is a fixed oropen-ended securities lending.

- Define Flow Types, Define Condition Types, and Assign Flow Types to Transaction Type

- Define Update Types and Assign Flow Types to Update Types

- Define Update Types and Assign Usages
