Purpose of this query

Each GBU (Ind Directors) and Function (Function Controllers) are required to report, every quarter, the realized PEC & CAPEX of the last quarter and the forecasted PEC & CAPEX for current Y, Y+1 and Y+2.

This report allows to check the cumulated PEC & CASH amounts at the end of the selected period with a detail on the different components of the PEC & CASH calculation.

Variables screen

The query has several variables in prompt, including mandatory, authorization and optionals :

Mandatory : 

*Calendar Year/Month : A single value has to be selected and will define the "Snapshot" date of the report. The report will show all the cumulated values as of end of the Year/Month selected.

Authorization :

Optional :

*Currency : By default all the amounts in the report will be shown in local (company) currency. By selecting a currency in this variable you can request BW to convert all the amounts to it. See below for details on the currency conversion.
*Zone : This is the zone (AP, LA, NA, EU) of the Company of the WBS.

Example : If you only want to see the costs of projects that have been active (had cost) in 2012, you should select "Date of last PEC >31.12.2011".             

Careful : If you select "Date of last PEC = 31.12.2011" then the report will only show the costs of the WBS for which the date of last PEC was exactly 31.12.2012

Only 2 general filters are applied on this query :

Key Figures

Commitments (Current)

Definition : It’s the present amount of the purchase requests and orders not yet received. Amount is without tax and in local currency. In the purchase order (ME23N) it corresponds to the "To be delivered"  in the PO header :

Calculation : None. Amount comes directly from RCS. You can see the details/documents via the CJI5 transaction

About the Posting date for commitments : For the commitment data, the posting date (and all linked characteristics : year, quarter, month) is based on the expected delivery date of the PO/PR : 

Note: This is the present (previous day or current day) value. It doesn't take into account the period selected in the query prompt (it is not possible to get the commitments at a selected date due to the way SAP manages that data)

PEC (Excl DP)

Definition : The PEC ("Prise En Charge" in french) is the actual costs (received costs). Although the standard formula normally includes the down-payments in the PEC, in this report the PEC exclude the down-payments (DP). The cost can correspond to :

In the purchase order header this corresponds to the "Delivered" value :

In the purchase order header this corresponds to the "Delivered" value :

Calculation : None. Data comes directly from RCS and can be checked by transaction CJI6.

Downpayments

Definition : The down-payment is the value of the advanced payments done to the supplier. Although it is normally included in the PEC, in this query the amount is separated in a different key figure.

 

Calculation : None. The data comes directly from RCS and can be checked by transaction CJI6, or directly on the purchase order history (ME23N).

Open GRNI

Definition : Amount of "Goods Received Not Invoiced", meaning the value of all goods and services received for which we have not yet received an invoice

It's the open balance of the FIGL GRNI accounts. Amount is in local currency and without tax.

In most cases it corresponds to the open balance on these accounts :

Z001/40100300AP TP OTH GRNI AUTO
Z001/40100310AP TP TD GRNI AUTO
Z001/40100350AP TP CORE BUSINESS
Z001/40100390AP-TP-GRNI CUSTOMS
Z001/40800300AP FA GRNI AUTO
Z001/40800301AP FA GRNI ADJ

Calculation : If M is the selected period in the query prompt, then the Open GRNI is the cumulated amount of all FI documents where :

    Posting Period <= M

    Clearing date is empty or >M

Open Invoices

Definition : Amount of all open invoices and other account payables (FIAP GL Accounts). Amount is in local currency and with tax.

In most cases it corresponds to the open balance on these accounts :

Z001/40150100AP -TP - SERV SGL Q
Z001/40100100AP TP TD REC ACCNT

Calculation : If M is the selected period in the query prompt, then the Open Invoices is the cumulated amount of all FI documents where :

    Posting date <= M

    Clearing date is empty or >M

Cash Out

Definition : Result is in local currency and without tax

Note: This Key Figure is called &quot;CASH OUT&quot; and not &quot;CAPEX&quot; because this report does not only take into account investment expenses. The report works for all projects (including re-invoicing WBS). This amount can only be called CAPEX if running the report with Project Type = II (Investment)

Calculation : The standard formula for the Cash out is

Cash Out = PEC + Variation of the payables balance

In this case :

PEC are split into "PEC (Ex DP) and "Downpayments".
The payables are split into "GRNI" (FIGL) and "Invoices" (FIAP)

So the formula is equivalent to :

Cash Out = PEC (Ex DP) + Downpayments  + Variation GNRI (FIGL) + Variation of Invoices (FIAP)

Since this report shows the cumulated values up to the selected period, the "Variation of the payables balance" equals to the "Payables Open Balance" at period M.

Therefore :

Cash Out = PEC(Ex DP) + Downpayments + Open GRNI + Open Invoices

  •  For costs not related to a purchase order, PEC is always equal to CASH (there are no GRNI/Invoices)
  • GRNI and Invoices amounts are displayed as negative numbers since it corresponds to debts.

Budget - Cash

Definition : Remaining budget based on Budget - Cash.

Group Budget - Cash

Definition : Remaining budget based on Group code PS Budget - Cash.

Currency conversion

By default most of the amounts (all except the Group Budget) will show in Local Currency. The local currency amount is coming directly from RCS without any conversion from BW.

If you want to convert the amounts to another currency, you can do it by selecting a currency in the "Currency" prompt when running the report.

If you choose a currency in the prompt BW will convert all the amounts using the Cumulated monthly mean (MMC) rate :

About taxes

About invoice split

When running this report by purchase order and purchase order item you need to take into account the in SAP the invoice can only be assigned to a single analytical element. There are 2 cases where this is relevant :

Example : 1 PO, with 1 item assigned to a WBS and 1 item assigned to a Cost Center --> only 1 Invoice

In this case SAP will automatically assign the full amount of the invoice to the first element. In the above example, the full amount of the invoice will be reported on the WBS, when in fact part of it should be reported into the Cost center.

To solve this BW will automatically split the invoice and allocate correctly the invoice value using a pro-rata with the PO value. Since RCS doesnt do such splitting, the data may look different when looking in RCS and in BW.

In case where in a single purchase order, an item has a multiple settlement rule (Ex : 40% on a WBS, 60% on a cost center), SAP will assign the full invoice on the first element.

To solve this BW will automatically split the invoice and allocate correctly the invoice value using a pro-rata with the PO value. Since RCS doesnt do such splitting, the data may look different when looking in RCS and in BW.

FAQ

Is it possible to have the Open Invoices without tax ?

Currently it is not possible. The standard formula requires the Open Invoice amount to include the taxes and currently this BW database doesn't have the tax information available.
