Definition of Balance Sheets and P&L Statements

Balance Sheets and P&L statements represent a picture of the


financial position of a company at a point in time (typically, at the
end of a reporting period)
The resources (assets), both financial and property, are displayed on
the left-hand side of the balance sheet

Claims (liabilities and equity) against those resources are displayed on


the right-hand side of the balance sheet

To balance, the assets of the company must be equal to the claims


(liabilities and equity) against those resources

The profit and loss statement summarizes the revenues generated and
expenses incurred for a specific period

Balance Sheets and P&L Statements in SAP BW

View and analyze Balance Sheets and P&L statements as of


BW 3.0B Support Package 18

Include balance-dependent position of accounts (Contra


items) and the calculation of retained earnings in the balance
sheet/P&L structure

Contra item:
The balance of certain financial statement items should be
reversed
It is necessary to show the value on the other side of the balance
sheet
Within a consolidation chart of accounts, you can assign to such
FS items an FS item of the other side of the balance sheet, a so-
called contra item

Virtual InfoCube with Services

Overview
Does not have its own physical data storage in SAP BW
A user-defined function module is used as a DataSource
The properties of the DataSource can be defined more precisely with
a number of options

Use
A virtual InfoCube with services can be used if you want to display
data from non-BW data sources in SAP BW without having to copy
the data to the SAP BW structures
The "classical" SAP RemoteCube via SAPI is also mapped into a
virtual InfoProvider with services, with the default options of NO
SID support, NO navigational attribute support, and convert
restrictions
The data can be either local or remote
You can also change the data with your own calculations before
passing it to the OLAP processor

Attribute 0BAL_DEPEND

The balance sheet hierarchy uses the attribute 0BAL_DEPEND. This


has three different values:
Normal aggregation (default value):
The accounts are fixed either on the assets side or on the liabilities
side of the balance sheet this is valid for the most accounts

Some accounts need to be flexibly displayed in the hierarchy,


dependent on their current state. For these, the following two values
are relevant:
Aggregation only with debit sign (1):
The leading sign of the accounts sum will be checked if it is
positive, the accounts will be aggregated to the leading node and
displayed on the assets side
Aggregation only with credit sign (2):
The leading sign of the accounts sum will be checked if it is
negative, the accounts will be aggregated to the leading node and
displayed on the libilities side

Transaction Data

2 Virtual InfoCubes:
General Ledger Accounting (0FIGL_VC1) for Period Accounting

Cost-of-Sales Ledger (0FIGL_VC2) for Cost of Sales Accounting (US


GAAP)

These two Virtual InfoCubes contain no data. Queries based


on them are supplied by the implemented services with data
from the appropriate BasisCubes 0FIGL_C01 and 0FIGL_C02

To allow the balance dependent positioning of the nodes in


the balance sheet hierarchy, a special function module
calculates the data from the BasisCube on the fly and shows
the result in the query

Balance Sheet and P&L in SAP BW Web Applications

Important Note:

If you want to present the Balance Sheet and P&L


Statement in SAP BW Web applications, please
implement note 707830

With BI Content 3.3 Add-on (available in October


2003) the Balance Sheet and P&L Statement is
automatically available for SAP BW Web Applications

Summary

SAP AG 2005, Jie Deng / 26


How to Implement Your Own Content

Implementation steps in SAP BW:


Define a Basis InfoCube which contains the transactional data from
R/3. This Basis InfoCube should contain InfoObject 0GLACCEXT and
0FISCVARNT.

Create a function module (the virtual Cube with services), which


should be copied from RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1 or
RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC2.

Define a Virtual InfoCube with services containing the appropriate


function module

Analyze transactional data by creating Queries based on the Virtual


InfoCube. InfoObject 0GLACCEXT and 0FISCPER should be included
in the definition of the query.

SAP AG 2005, Jie Deng / 27


Mandatory InfoObject 0GLACCEXT

Financial Statement Item (0GLACCEXT) is a central object for this


solution
Only the Hierarchy of 0GLACCEXT has the hard coded attribute
0BAL_DEPEND. No other hierarchy has this attribute!

Function module for Virtual InfoCube with Services (RS_BCT_


FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1/VC2) is hard coded for InfoObject
0GLACCEXT. No other InfoObject will work for this function module!

If you would like to use this solution to display the Balance Sheets and
P&L Statements in SAP BW
Please do not create your own InfoObject for financial statement item
instead of 0GLACCEXT!
Also, please do not copy this InfoObject to the customer name space e.g.
Z*!

SAP AG 2005, Jie Deng / 28


Consideration of Performance Aspect

When you analyze the transactional data in BEX Analyzer or the


Web, the function module (Virtual InfoCube with Services) will be
executed every time when you drill-down, filter, or perform any
other navigation. So the performance aspect is very important in
this case.
By using the Virtual InfoCube with Services in this solution, you
need to consider the following potential performance
degradation:
When Basis Cube contains too much data
If Virtual InfoProvider function module does not support navigational
attributes, the OLAP engine will still support it, but may result in a
performance problem
When performing complex restrictions
Handling of compound characteristics
Handling of exclude conditions
Not able to use OLAP Cache

Important SAP Notes (1)

Documentation:
Regarding the Documentation of Balance Sheets in SAP BW, please
refer to SAP Note 673564.

Content activation:
Since 0FIGL_C01 and 0FIGL_C02 is not in the dataflow for Virtual
InfoCube 0FIGL_VC1 and 0FIGL_VC2, you need to activate these two
Basis InfoCubes before you activate Virtual InfoCubes. Please see
SAP Note 616899 for further details.

Display Balance Sheet /P&L Statements on Web:


Implement SAP Note 707830 to display Balance Sheets and P&L
statements in SAP BW Web Applications if you have SAP BW
release which is lower than BI Content 3.3 Add-on.

SAP AG 2005, Jie Deng / 30


Important SAP Notes (cont.)

Restrictions with standard Business Content:


For technical reasons, we can not currently deliver transfer rules for
hierarchies. You must create transfer rules manually after you
activate the standard business content. Please see SAP Note 663945
for further details.

Reporting:
Regarding the standard delivered Business Content, error occurs if
the reporting and comparison time periods overlap or if reporting
and comparison time periods are identical. This is a program error.
Please see SAP Note 703761 for further details.

4 Key Points to Take Home

As of SAP BW 3.0B Support Package 18, it is possible for you to view


and analyze Balance Sheets and P&L statements in SAP BW queries
where the display hierarchy is based on any Balance
Sheet/Profit&Loss statement structure

Balance-dependent positions of accounts in the Balance Sheet/P&L


structure are now included in the view as well as the calculation of
retained earnings

With the function of Virtual InfoCubes with services it is possible to


calculate the data from the BasisCube on the fly and show the result in
the query

SAP-delivered Standard Business Content for this solution. InfoObject


0GLACCEXT (financial statement items) is delivered as a central and
mandatory Object to display Balance Sheets and P&L Statements in
SAP BW
