SAP Fiori Apps for ERP Baseline – Application FICO

1 Purpose of SAP FioriSAP Fiori is a collection of apps that represent the new SAP user experience. SAP Fiori apps have a consistent design language and make use of a common technical infrastructure. They provide a consistent end-to-end user experience and can be used across all device types without creating additional implementation effort.

Organized by user role, the SAP Fiori launchpad is the central entry hub to all Fiori apps where users access apps via tiles. The launchpad has services for navigation, personalization, single sign-on, and search. The launchpad and the tiles are flexible and can be adapted to your needs. You can use the search in the SAP Fiori launchpad to perform a cross-entity search through core SAP Business Suite applications. The search uses the SAP NetWeaver Embedded Search technology on a SAP HANA database. New SAP HANA-enabled search models are delivered for core business objects.

The Fiori apps focus on critical and common activities and are designed around how people work:

• Role-based: Fiori apps decompose complex applications into a task-based experience with one central entry point for each user.

• Responsive: Fiori apps adapt to all sizes, devices, versions, and channels to provide a common user experience across all channels.

• Simple: Fiori apps follow the 1-1-3 experience (1 user, 1 scenario, 3 screens). They know and provide the right context and meaningful data integration.

• Coherent user experience with apps that speak the same design language. This implies coherence for common activities as well as coherence for your brand.

• Instant value with a low barrier to adoption, enabling customers to adapt and users to personalize.

• Interactive on desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms

All UIs are built using state-of-the-art technology such as HTML5 and SAP UI5 mobile. Fiori apps allow you to access the most recent version of your back-end data via OData services. Through previously defined roles and authorizations, you can specify which apps and which data a user is allowed to access.

The purpose of this document is to give the user all necessary information around the SAP Fiori apps for Finance and Controlling to be able to run them on top of the SAP Best Practices - Finance and Controlling processes.

The packages listed below are prerequisites for the configuration described in this guide.

You will find references to the documentation belonging to these packages in the corresponding chapters of this document:

3 SAP Smart Business for Cash Management SAP Smart Business for Cash Management is a collection providing an overview of the most important key performance indicators for a Cash Manager. The Cash Manager can stay up-to-date on the status of cash, liquidity, and bank accounts and easily identify certain issues and respond quickly as they arise.

3.1 Technical/System Prerequisites for SAP Smart Business Apps

3.1.1 SAP Business Function Activation for Smart Business Cash Management

After installing SAP ERP and completing the SAP ECC extension sets for the SAP Best Practices baseline, you need to activate below business function for Smart Business Cash Management Fiori:

3.1.2 Generic Enablement for Smart Business AppsFor more information, see the Building Block Configuration Guide: Generic Enablement (EE1), chapter 3.4 Generic Enablement for Smart Business Apps.

To enable the Smart Business for Cash Management in particular, ensure that the below steps are maintained.

3.1.2.1 Activating CA_KPI ServiceIn this activity, you activate the CA_KPI service to enable the KPI modeler.

Procedure1. Log on to the ABAP front-end server (also a SAP Gateway system).

2. Access the following transaction:

Transaction code SICF

3. On the Maintain Services screen, choose Execute (F8).



4. Navigate to the following services and choose Activate Service in the context menu:

default_host → sap → bc → ui5_ui5 → sap → CA_KPI

3.1.2.2 Assigning Role to User

UseFor SAP Smart Business, the KPI framework delivers such a HANA catalog provider with the PFCG role SAP_KPIFRW_TCR_S, there is nothing to do for the Smart Business applications. Just make sure that role SAP_KPIFRW_TCR_S is assigned to the test user.

Procedure1. Log on to the ABAP front-end server (also a SAP Gateway system).


Transaction code SU01

3. Enter <Test User Name> (for example, FIORI_USER and FIORI_ADM) in the Name field.

4. Choose Change.

5. Choose the Roles tab page.

6. Add entry SAP_KPIFRW_TCR_S into the list.

7. Choose Save.

3.1.2.3 Enabling User Access to KPI DataThe KPI data a user views in an SAP Smart Business tile is retrieved from the SAP HANA database. In order to view this KPI data, the user must be assigned a SAP HANA database user with the authorizations necessary to access the SAP HANA database.

3.1.2.3.1 Synchronizing SAP HANA Database Users

UseFor each user, you must ensure that a corresponding SAP HANA database user exists. A user requires both a user in the ABAP front-end server to enable navigation in the Fiori Launchpad and a database user in SAP HANA to enable access to the relevant views.

SAP supports the following methods for synchronizing SAP HANA database users with the existing users in the ABAP system:

• User synchronization using Identity Management or an existing Identity Management (IDM) solution implemented in your organization.

• Mass user synchronization using ABAP DBMS user management tools.

• Manual user creation in SAP HANA.



ProcedureOption 1: Mass Synchronization

To synchronize all relevant users automatically for a single ABAP system, use the mass synchronization report provided in SAP Note 1927767.

Using this report, proceed as follows:

1. Select the relevant ABAP users based on user type, user group, and ABAP authorization role.

2. Select the SAP HANA roles to be assigned to the relevant users.

By default, SAP HANA database users are created with the same name as the ABAP users.

Option 2: Manual User Creation

Alternatively, to manually create users in SAP HANA, proceed as follows:

1. In SAP HANA studio, go to the SAP HANA Systems view, choose Security Users.

2. Create the required database users and ensure that the user names are identical to the corresponding users in the ABAP system.

ResultThe users exist in the SAP HANA database.

3.1.2.3.2 Assigning Roles for Accessing KPI Data

UseIn this process, you will assign a SAP Smart Business role to a user.

Procedure1. In SAP HANA Studio, go to the SAP HANA Systems view and choose Security Users.

2. Specify the user ID and choose Granted Roles.

3. Assign the required SAP Smart Business roles to the user.

• For all users, you must assign the general role sap.hba.apps.kpi.s.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_RUNTIME.

• For users who must manage and model KPIs, you must assign the role sap.hba.apps.kpi.s.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_MODELER.

• You must assign users with an additional role sap.hba.r.sappl604.roles.fin::CashManager for Cash Management provided by SAP.

3.1.3.1.2 Other PrerequisitesBefore you start the configuration of this process, you must install the corresponding add-ons to SAP HANA.

For more information, see the Quick Guide attached to the SAP Note 1846294.

3.2 Cash Position

3.2.1 Description

This Cash Position app gives you instant visibility into cash positions for current and investment accounts in real time and helps you to analyze transaction history from different dimensions remotely.

It processes account transfers and payments immediately to update a position.


https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1846294


3.2.2 Key FeaturesSAP Smart Business for Cash Position provides you with an overview of daily cash inflow and outflow on the selected bank accounts. In this app, cash positions can be calculated for a specified date. Furthermore, you can check cash positions by individual dimension (country, company and currency) or the combination of dimensions (company and currency).

SAP Jam or e-mail integration offers the possibility for a Cash Manager to communicate the cash position, plan short-term liquidity, and trigger follow-up actions.

This cash position application combines analytical insights with operational actions and visualizes key performance indicators. This is all done via real-time back-end integration.

Users can easily adapt the user interface to their needs based on drag and drop and a powerful tile catalog. Color-coded visualization supports analysis based on defined target and thresholds in KPI.

SAP Smart Business is an open framework. Customers and partners can define their own KPIs and integrate with collaboration and analytical tools or existing applications.

3.2.3 Business Purpose for Cash Position

If a Cash Manager is not in the office and wants to see the cash position distribution in every company and every currency, the Cash Manager can get an overview of the real-time position or of a specific day about how much the money is in different dimensions, analyze transaction history, and plan the short-term liquidity accordingly. This app can be seen as an enhancement of our existing baseline cash position processes, give customer instant visibility into their positions, and analyze their bank accounts remotely.

This KPI allows you to filter and drill down cash position by various dimensions:

• Query view: sap.hba.r.sappl604.CashPositionQuery

• Type: total amount

• Dimensions:

oSAPClient: SAP client

oDate: date

oCompanyCodeName: company code

oCashCenterName: region

oBankName: bank

oCountryName: country

oCompanyCode: company code

oTargetCurrency: target currency

oSegmentName: segment (name)

oPlanningCurrency: transaction currency



oSegment: segment

oBalAmtInDisplayCrcy_E : balance amount in group currency

oAmountInTransactionCurrency_E: amount in transaction currency

• Calculations: Cash positions can be calculated for a specified date.

• Generic drill-downs:

oRegion (Cash Center in sample view CashCenter)

oCurrency

oCountry

oCurrency and then country

oBank

oBank and then currency

oCompany

3.2.4 KPI Configuration for Cash Position SAP Smart Business applications provide insight into the real-time operations of your business by collecting and displaying KPIs and reports directly in your browser. KPIs are used to monitor current performance against goals that have been predefined by your organization. Using the KPI modeler, you can define a KPI so that it is available to users of SAP Smart Business at runtime.

The KPI modeler allows you to model KPI and report tiles that enable targeted monitoring of key business data using the SAP Smart Business launchpad.

With the KPI modeler, you can define KPIs and reports to which you can apply numerous different evaluations so that you can respond to the ever-changing business landscape. You can also configure drill-down views that are accessed through the KPI tiles and offer additional perspectives on the relevant data.

3.2.4.1 KPI Definition The KPI definition delivered for Cash Position is as follows: You can define valuation/visualization on the KPI definition delivered, or duplicate it to create your own z version and then define evaluation/visualization.

You can create your own cash management group, for example: SAPCM_CA as pre-defined in above KPI, or you can use the pre-configured grouping from baseline and change the input parameter entry for the cash management group during the creation of the KPI.



6. Cash Management Configuration Guide (160), section 3.3.3 Maintain Structure: For groupings defined in the following customizing activity, the number of wildcard characters does not impact the priority of the rules. Any record that matches one of the “Exclude” conditions is excluded. Financial Supply Chain Management → Cash and Liquidity Management → Cash Management → Structuring → Grouping → Maintain Structure

One or more appropriate groupings for the selection and structuring of Cash Management reports must be defined and maintained. For example, cash management grouping: SAPCM_CA.

7. The bank accounts are visible under planning level F0 and assigned to cash management group, for example: SAPCM_CA (created in the above step).

8. Cash centers are available from the sample view CashCenter. You can copy the sample view and modify the copied view according to your needs.

9. Based on the Cash Management (160) Business Process Documentation, follow the process for demo data preparation and process steps, create the transactional data that enable you execute cash position (FF7A). This shows how your bank accounts will move in the next few days. Please make sure that the bank accounts are defined in the chart of accounts, that the company code and planning level are assigned in the bank accounts, and that the account is configured in the cash management group structure (for example, SAPCM_CA) and reports in cash management instead of the account number.

3.3 Liquidity Forecast

3.3.1 DescriptionWith Liquidity Forecast, you can forecast the liquidity trend for future days and identify the medium-term cash inflows and outflows generated by the posted debit-side and credit-side invoices.

The Liquidity Forecast illustrates medium-term movements in subledger accounts.

3.3.2 Key FeaturesSAP Smart Business for Liquidity Forecast provides you with an overview of liquidity changes in the subledger accounts. It can be used to obtain relevant information on forecast payment flows remotely.

SAP Jam or e-mail integration offers the possibility for Cash Managers to communicate the liquidity forecast, plan medium-term liquidity and trigger follow up actions.

This cash position application combines analytical insights with operational actions and visualizes key performance indicators. This all is done via real-time back-end integration. This information appears in the form of memo records in the cash position, or as planned items in the liquidity forecast.

Users can easily adapt the user interface to their needs based on drag and drop and a powerful tile catalog. Color-coded visualization supports analysis based on defined target and trend in KPI.

SAP Smart Business is an open framework. Customers and partners can define their own KPIs and integrate with collaboration and analytical tools or existing applications.

3.3.3 Business Purpose for Liquidity Forecast

For a Group Cash Manager in charge of the group treasury department, one of the top concerns is to ensure the liquidity of the enterprise. Besides the total amount in tile, the Cash Manager should be able to drill down and view the figure by company code, by currency, and by bank.

The Cash Manager can stay up-to-date on the status of cash, liquidity, and bank accounts and can easily identify certain issues and respond quickly as they arise.

The Cash Manager wants to take a quick look at the liquidity forecast and make sure the total amount of current accounts never drops to negative levels. The Liquidity Forecast app provides a trend line that shows overall liquidity forecast trends, as well as forecast “balance” and “net cash flow” of each day. For each specific day, the current accounts amount can be compared with the other investment amounts. If any particular day shows a negative amount, you can plan the money transfer into current accounts and plan the medium-term liquidity accordingly.

This app can be seen as an enhancement of our existing baseline liquidity forecast processes because it gives customer instant visibility of their overall liquidity forecast trend.

This KPI allows you to filter and drill down liquidity forecast by various dimensions:

• HANA database role: sap.hba.r.sappl604.roles.fin::CashManager

• Query view sap.hba.r.sappl604.LiquidityForecastQuery



• Type: trend

oCashSource: indicates whether the data is from cash or liquidity

oPlanningLevelName: planning level

oSegmentName: segment (name)

oAmountInDisplayCurrency_E: amount in transaction currency

oBalanceAmountInDisplayCrcy_E : balance amount in converted currency

• Calculations: The net amount and balance are calculated for each day in the specified date range.

Cash Management Customizing for back-end Financials:

1. SAP Best Practice Baseline – Cash Management BB160 Configuration Guide

2. Cash Management Levels (= Planning Levels) of type BNK (Bank) and PSK (Sub Ledger) must be defined.

3. Cash Management Groups (= Planning Groups) must be defined – each with a PSK Level inside.

4. Each G/L account must be configured with a house bank and house bank account ID.



5. Vender or customer should have been assigned with reconciliation account and cash management group according to the cash management group configured in Building Block 160.

Account → Financial Accounting → Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable → Master Records → Display → Company Code Data

6. Cash Management Configuration Guide 160, section 3.3.2 Define Groupings and Maintain Headers. Configuration Activity:

Financial Supply Chain Management → Cash and Liquidity Management → Cash Management → Structuring → Grouping → Define Grouping and Maintain Headers

Add your grouping with a name starting with SAPCM. Each grouping entry represents a category of liquidity structure. You make settings that affect the way the cash position and liquidity forecast is displayed or you can use the pre-configured grouping from baseline and change the input parameter entry for cash management group during creating the KPI.

7. Cash Management Configuration Guide 160, section 3.3.3 Maintain Structure. Configuration Activity:

Financial Supply Chain Management → Cash and Liquidity Management → Cash Management → Structuring → Grouping → Maintain Structure

You define the grouping structures that group together particular bank and/or sub ledger accounts in the cash position or the liquidity forecast display. The selection of a certain grouping during execution of Cash position & Liquidity Forecast influences the result of this report.

One or more appropriate Groupings for selection and structuring of Cash Management reports must be defined and maintained. For example, SAPCM_CA.

8. Specify a planning level for the grouping defined for each category of liquidity structure. Planning levels are maintained in the corresponding G/L accounts. If you want to show the liquidity structure by bank, each bank must have a separate G/L account for each category of liquidity structure, and the house bank and house bank ID must be maintained in the G/L. The liquidity structure information is calculated from documents posted to the G/L. Therefore, this information reflects the real situation only if the amounts posted to the G/L are reliable and capture the meaningful value of your liquidity structure items.

9. Vender or customer should have been assigned with reconciliation account and cash management group according to the cash management group configured in above Building Block 160.

Account → Financial Accounting → Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable → Master Records →Display → Company Code Data



10. Post memo record, customer/vendor invoice and payment. Make sure that this posting is properly reflected in invoice level of the Liquidity Forecast report:

1. Enter transaction FF7B.

2. Fill in company code and suitable Grouping (for example, SAPCM_CA).

3. Verify the change in liquidity forecast in the corresponding currency, amount and expected date. This information appears in the form of memo records in the cash position, or as planned items in the liquidity forecast.

4. Look at the chart in the liquidity forecast tile on the dash board.
