3.1. I receive a request for information with the need of a new Financial Scheme

3.1.1. I receive a request for information with the need of a new Financial Scheme

I receive a request for information with the need of a new Financial Scheme. The triggering agent for this should be Group Accounting and Reporting team. Usually the first contact email has all the information needed but, in case of any doubt, questions should be addressed back to GAR team.


3.1.2. I analyse the request received for new reporting needs

I analyse the request received for the new Financial scheme and try to identify if there are already other similar Financial Scheme set in place.


In case similar Financial Schemes already exists and are set up, we can use the same methodology to set it up. 

For instance, if there is the need to create new headings for a Long Term heading and there is already a Short Term heading in use, I should identify:

  • BFC Dimension by scheme:
    1. I need to identify which will be the families impacted (IC for Interco only, B2 for ACTUAL2, etc.) 
      1. B2 BFC quarterly ACTUAL2
        B3 BFC quarterly ACTUAL3
        BF BFC monthly
        F2 BFC quarterly ACTUAL2 - Factoring Cy
        FF BFC monthly - Factoring Cy
        L2 BFC quarterly light ACTUAL2
        LF BFC monthly light
        X0 BFC Yearly ACTUAL0 - CBCR
        Y2 BFC quarterly light ACTUAL2
        YF BFC monthly light
    2. I need to identify the scheme
      1. SA0 Analysis with only Entreprise level without flows
      2. SA0F Analysis with only Entreprise level with flows
      3. SBA With site, year, all, level without flows restr

      10. SA1QF With part, conso, with flows
      11. SA1T With part,, all, without flows
      12. SA2F With part, all, with flows
      13. SA3 With part, Third, without flows
      14. SA4 By part and by share with flows
      15. SA5 By div without flow
      16. SA5Q By div for external part without flow
      17. SA6 By div without flow = SA3
      18. SA6F By div, all partners, without flow
      19. SA6O By div for external part without flow = SA4
      20. SA7 By div for external part with flow = SA4

              3. I need to identify the heading; 

A for Assets;

L for Liabilities;

R for Profit and Loss (Result)


Check GS03 ZFC-BALANCE


SM30 ZZF_BFC_HEADING




             4. Following the heading, the set accounts should match according to the rule ZFC-*, where the new accounts should be included.




       5. I should confirm the flows to be available in BFC, in order to identify the set of flows in BFC customizing.

3.2. I ask for adjustments in the impacted reporting tools to meet the new Financial Scheme needs

3.2.1. I ask for adjustments in BFC tool to match the new Financial Scheme needs

I ask BFC Admin team to adapt BFC simulation tool with the following information:

  • Heading to be included;
  • in which packages is the heading to be included (for instance:
    • L1005 Balance sheet (agregate report - retrieve only)
    • L2005 Balance sheet - Assets
    • L7010 Balance sheet - By flows
    • L3060 Special operations
    • L5605 Non current Assets - Intercompany
    • L5615 Non current liabilities - Intercompany;
  • Node and Subnode to be included in

(for instance:

Node: ZFC-A270 Other n/current financial assets, Net

Subnode: ZFC-A270-G Other n/current financial assets, Gross



3.2.2. I ask for adjustments in Quality systems QF1, WQ1 and QI1 PF1/WP1/PI1 target systems

I ask for the adjustments in Quality systems; either QF1, WQ1 and QI1, according to the impacted company codes/systems.

These adjustments are to be asked to Digital Technology department, through the active ticketing tool. (at this time, Service One Digital Workplace > IT - General Accounting & Close (GAC)/Treasury & Invoice to Cash (TITC)/ Other processes.

In the request, I share the modifications needed, namely update of tables or set of accounts.

Example:

update of SM30 table ZZF_BFC_HEADING/ZZF_BFC_SETACCT

update of set of accounts ZFC-BALANCE



3.3. I guarantee the adjustments meet the new Financial Scheme needs
