For the classification of maintenance plans, you can use the default class type 80. In this class type, you can create your own classes and structure them in a hierarchy. For the classes, you then define characteristics and possible characteristic values. The business role maintenance planner contains the tiles Manage Classes and Manage Characteristics to allow you to do this. For more information about the meaning and importance of classes and characteristics and how to create them, see the documentation on the SAP Help Portal under Classification System (CA-CL).

After you have created classes and characteristics, assign one or more classes to each of your maintenance plans. In the new Classification area with the two subareas Classes and Characteristic Values, you can call up the class hierarchy and assign classes or delete class assignments. Furthermore, the characteristics assigned to the classes are listed. Depending on your settings in the classification system, you can copy the characteristic values that are valid for the maintenance plan from the input help or enter them manually. If you have classified maintenance plans, you can use classes, characteristics and characteristic values as search criteria in the maintenance plan and maintenance item list.


In the Web UI applications for creating and changing maintenance plans, you can use the new Classification section with the two subsections Classes and Characteristic Values.

In the maintenance plan and maintenance item list, the new Classification section is available under Define New Query and Change Query. If you enter classification data here, the system assembles maintenance plans of a given class with selected characteristic values in the results list.

● The year-to-date analysis provides a function known as the reset procedure. With this function, valuations that have been performed within a defined period can be reset on the day after the key date. In this way, all valuation performed always relate to the start of the period, and a year-to-date analysis is made possible for every valuation key date. The last valuation key date in a period (for example, December 31 when the period corresponds to a calendar year) is excluded from the reset. It is posted in the delta process and consequently represents the start date of the new period.

● In order that the IPX tab in the ECF valuation sheet can be used, both the ECF procedure and the IPX procedure must be in use. With this function, valuations that were generated for a key date with the IPX

Additional Details

Overview

The GR/IR reconciliation process is an exception handling process for all purchase order items, where invoice receipts and goods receipts do not balance after some time. As a G/L accountant and other involved parties, you need to understand the business situation at the level of a purchase order item and decide how to solve the situation. The app helps you to understand the root cause as quickly as possible and to perform the right series of actions. The app supports you with continuously reducing purchase order items with differing values in invoice receipts and goods receipts. Using Machine Learning even accelerates the GR/IR account reconciliation process through providing proposals learned from decisions taken in the past.

Machine Learning

To make GR/IR account reconciliation even more intelligent and to save time, you can optionally use the Reconcile GR/IR Accounts app with Machine Learning (ML). The ML service learns from decisions made in the past and applies the learned knowledge to the new business situation, and proposes the next meaningful steps, the priority and root cause for each item. Machine Learning proposals are highlighted in the app, if the Machine Learning service is activated.

Process Automation

To reduce high manual effort, you can optionally use the Process Automation, where you can define your own business rules to decide what should happen with the individual items after a certain time period has passed and apply them in an automated fashion. You can also use Machine Learning within the Process Automation. When defining your business rules you can use the proposals to determine, for example, the next step in the GR/IR account reconciliation processing, the processor or processing department. After deriving the next processing step based on your business rules, you can also, for example, send an automated email to the processor or trigger write-off of open items.

NoteTo use the app, you need a separate subscription license. For further information, please contact your SAP Account Executive.


● To adapt the process of reconciling goods receipts and invoice receipts that do not match to your requirements, you can define the statuses and root causes that best fit to your goods and invoice receipt reconciliation process. A set of statuses and a set of root causes is delivered with the default configuration:

○ To define your own statuses in Customizing, use transaction SPRO (IMG Path: Financial AccountingGeneral Ledger Accounting Periodic Processing Reclassify Define Status Management for GR/IR Clearing Process .


○ To define your own root causes in Customizing, use transaction SPRO (IMG Path: Financial Accounting General Ledger Accounting Periodic Processing Reclassify Define Root Cause for GR/IR Clearing Process .

3.2.3.3 Contract Change

3.2.3.3.1 Tracking Contract Changes Using Change Type Reasons

Revenue Accounting determines change types based on the contract changes that were made. Change type reasons provided by Revenue Accounting are used to explain the performance obligation (POB) change types. For example, the contractual price change of a POB is determined as a contract modification and its change type reason is contractual price from operational document was changed.

1. The Define Change Type Reasons customizing configuration is delivered with default change reason codes and reason code descriptions.The default change type reason codes are output from the POB default change type determination along with the contract modification or change of estimates.You can define your own reason codes with name space X*, Y* and Z* to explain the change type from the FARR_CHANGE_MODE_DETERMINATION BAdI.

2. Three new fields were added to the FARR_D_CHG_TYPE table as follows:○ POB Change Type (POB_CHANGE_MODE): Change type for each changed POB (R for change of

estimates or C for contract modification)○ Change Type Reason Code by BAdI (REASON_CODE_BY_BADI): Reason code for POB change type

determined manually or by BAdI○ Change Type Reason Code (REASON_CODE): Reason code for determining a certain POB change type

3. Additional view is Reason for Change Type delivered in the Revenue Explanation UI to explain the change type with the following columns made visible:○ Performance Obligation○ Applied Period


Finance

○ Performance Obligation Change Type○ Change Type Reason○ Contractual Price○ Standalone Selling Price (Total)○ Currency○ Allocated Amount○ Effective Remaining SSP○ Effective Remaining Amount

4. If you implement the FARR_BADI_LOG_POB_DATA BAdI, you can save POB change types (stored in the FARR_S_POB_LOG_DATA-POB_CHANGE_MODE structure), change type reason codes (stored in the FARR_S_POB_LOG_DATA-REASON_CODE structure) and change type reason codes by BAdI (stored in the the FARR_S_POB_LOG_DATA-REASON_CODE_BY_BADI structure) to trace each POB change.

● Saves the POB as Error and saves the contract as Pending Revenue Worklists - Contracts with Errors.● Error message is raised and the POB cannot be saved.

The FARR_BADI_POB_CUST_VALIDATION BAdI is improved with a worklist message handler parameter (IO_WL_MSG_HANDLER). If the BAdI validation fails, you can now save the contract with errors to Pending Review Worklists - Contracts with Errors using the worklist message handler parameter.

3.3.2.2.1 Enhancements for Hedge Management

With this feature, you can use the following new functions: the new target quota category Target Limit Within Band, NDF, FX Option, FX Swap, and FX Collar can be used to create FX hedge requests, and the due date shift function can be maintained in the master data of your hedging area.

Technical Details

Type Changed





Additional Details

Target Quota Category - Target Limit Within Band

This target quota category allows you to define a target limit (target quota) within a lower limit (lower quota) and an upper limit (upper quota) of a target quota band.


Due Date ShiftThis feature enables you to hedge your planned exposures using hedging instruments that do not match the period of the exposure exactly. By activating the due date shift function in the master data of the hedging area for a specific hedging classification, you can hedge a planned exposure with a due date in period 11/2018 using a hedging instrument with the due date 10/31/2018. In the Hedge Management Cockpit, the hedging instruments with a due date in 10/2018 are displayed as hedges in the analysis items of 11/2018. Further, the automated designation process considers the due date shift and searches for exposure items in the following month.

● The due date shift is available for hedging areas with analysis item definition By Time Periods, reporting time pattern Calendar-Related, and period length Monthly. You can activate the due date shift within the hedging area master data for a specific hedging classification.

● The following types of due date shift can be applied:○ BOMN1 - Beginning of Next Month

If you opt for this type, the end date of the hedged item and the value date of the hypothetical derivative (representing the exposure) are shifted to the first day of the following month.

○ EOMN1 - End of Next MonthIf you opt for this value, the end date of the hedged item and the value date of the hypothetical derivative (representing the exposure) are shifted to the last day of the following month.

The due date shift allows you to report your hedging instruments in the Hedge Management Cockpit in the month following the due date of the hedging instrument. This means that these hedging instruments are used to hedge the exposure items of the following month.For hedging classifications relevant to hedge accounting, the automated designation process considers the due date shift and searches for exposure items in the following month. The end date of the hedged item and the value date of the hypothetical derivative is either the first day or the last day of the month following the due date of the hedging instrument.

NoteThe due date of the hedging instrument is not changed.

ExampleYou have created hedging instruments in period 10/2018 with a total amount of 300,000 USD. If you have defined the due date shift as BOMN1 in your hedging area, the hedging instruments with a total amount of 300,000 USD are reported in period 11/2018, even though their due date is in 10/2018.

The hedged item gets 11/01/2018 as the end date, and the hypothetical derivative gets 11/01/2018 as the value date.

NoteThe function needs to be activated in the master data of the hedging areas on the General Settings tab in the Hedging Classification area.

3.3.2.2.2 Additional Fields for FX Transactions

This feature enables you to assign the following new fields to your foreign exchange (FX) transactions: Market Identifier Code (MIC), Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) code, International Securities Identification Number (ISIN), and the contract time.

Technical Details

Type Changed





Additional Details

The new fields help to identify an FX transaction uniquely and have the following varying purposes:

● Market Identifier Code (MIC)A market identifier code (MIC) is a four-character international standard code (ISO 10383). MICs are used to identify exchanges, trading platforms, and regulated or non-regulated markets as sources of prices and related information to facilitate automated processing (exchanges, settlement, and other automated processes).

● CFI CodeThe Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) code is used to define and describe financial instruments for all market participants. CFI codes are used for trade repository reporting, such as for EMIR regulations. You may receive such CFI codes when you are trading financial instruments on trading platforms.

● Sec. ID (ISIN)The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) uniquely identifies a security. ISINs are used, for example, for trade repository reporting, such as for EMIR regulations. You may receive such CFI codes when you are trading financial instruments on trading platforms.



To be able to maintain the relevant CFI code for an FX transaction, the area menu has been enhanced by the following new entries:

● Define CFI Code GroupsYou use this function to specify the first two characters of the CFI code and the remaining four attributes belonging to the group.

● Assign Attributes to CFI Code GroupsYou use this function to assign the relevant attribute values to the CFI code groups. These values are valid for each of the six alphabetical characters of the CFI code.

ExampleFor an FX swap transaction (CFI group SF), you usually define the following values for Attribute 1:○ A - which stands for a spot-forward swap○ C - which stands for a forward-forward swap○ M - which stands for Miscellaneous

For Attribute2 and Attribute 3, you may currently define the value X for Not Applicable/Undefined.

For Attribute 4, you may define the following values:

○ C which stands for Cash○ N which stands for Non-deliverable○ P which stands for Physical


To create and activate market identifier codes (MICs), use the Customizing activity Specify Market Identifier Codes available under Market Data Management Master Data .

3.3.2.2.3 Exposure Items for Balance Sheet Hedges

With this feature, you can create a new kind of exposure items, which you can use for balance sheet exposures. These exposure items refer to a single, non-aggregated exposure position identified by a technical reference. The reference-based exposure items are identified by the fields: Company Code, Risk-Free Currency, Currency, Object Category (technical name of exposure source), and Object Reference (ID of the exposure position). These exposure items are valuation area independent, they have an exposure item ID and description, they have an amount, and a specific due date. The due date can change over the lifetime of the exposure item.


Finance

Technical Details

Type Changed




Additional Details

To enable this new kind of exposure items in the hedge management cockpit, the analysis item definition in the hedging area master data has been enhanced. The analysis items reflect the granularity on which you monitor and hedge your FX exposures in the hedge management cockpit. In the new Analysis Item Definition field, you decide which kind of analysis items is relevant for the hedging area. The following settings are available:

● By ReferenceThis kind of analysis item is relevant for balance sheet exposures, where you need to assign the hedge to one specific balance sheet position which has a specific due date.The analysis items contain only one exposure based on a non-aggregated exposure position with an exposure position type for which the aggregation indicator is not set and the No Planning Period and Planning Year indicator is set. The hedging instruments are assigned to the analysis items by adding the hedged exposure item ID on the Administration tab to the financial transaction data.

NoteFor hedging areas of this kind of analysis item definition the following applies:○ The risk-free currency is set to Local Currency by default. This cannot be changed.○ The exposure aggregation level is not available.○ The reporting time pattern is set to None by default.○ Target quotas are not needed, so the target quota is set to None by default. Consequently, on the

General Settings tab, the Relevant for Target Quota column is hidden.○ On the General Settings tab, the differentiation criteria Currency and Company Code are selected.

You cannot add another differentiation criterion.


Example Analysis Item - By Reference● By Time Periods

The analysis items are defined by the differentiation criteria and the reporting time pattern of the hedging area. Incoming and outgoing exposures and hedges with the same differentiation criteria and time period belong to the same single analysis item.The exposure aggregation level of the hedging area decides which exposure items are created for an analysis item.Further, you can define target quotas for the analysis items in the hedging area.

Example Analysis Item - By Time Periods

NoteThis is the category relevant for your existing hedging relationships

The following new hedging scenarios to which new hedge accounting calculation rules are assigned are available:

● Scenarios for Balance Sheet Exposures○ 931 FVH: FX Risk with Full Fair Value (IFRS 9) with hedge accounting rule 631 P/L effective: Spot +

Forward + CCBS + Others○ 932 CFH: FX Risk with Full Fair Value (IFRS 9) with hedge accounting rule 632 Hdg Reserve: Spot +

Forward + CCBS + Others○ 941 FVH: FX-Risk with Spot, Forward (U.S. GAAP) with hedge accounting rule 641 Des. Comp.: Spot /

Non-Des. Comp.: Forward● Scenarios for Exposures Arising from Planned Forecasts

○ 942 CFH: FX-Risk with Spot, Fwd + Fwd Points Amort. (U.S. GAAP) with hedge accounting rule 642 Des. Comp.: Spot / Non-Des. Comp.: Fwd + Fwd Points Amort.

○ 943 CFH: FX-Risk with Intrinsic, Time + Premium Amort. (U.S. GAAP) with hedge accounting rule 643 Des. Comp.: Intr. / Non-Des. Comp.: Time + Premium Amort.

With a fair value hedge you hedge the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of balance sheet positions, such as, nominal values of loans in foreign currencies and nominal values of dividend payments.

With a cash flow hedge you hedge the risk of fluctuations in a cash flow. The cash flows can be of the type Planned Forecast, such as revenues, or Recognized Asset/Liability (=> Balance Sheet Hedges), such as, interest payments. For these differenct categories of cash flows you need to define different hedging areas.

The hedging areas for planned forecast cash flows have period based analysis items, which allows to bundle different exposure positions within an exposure item.

For the balance sheet hedges, you need to define hedging areas with analysis items By Reference which allow you to hedge one specific exposure position. In this case, the analysis items contain only one exposure item based on one non-aggregated exposure position (exposure position type for which the aggregation indicator is not set and the No Planning Period and Planning Year indicator is set).

● Balance Sheet Exposures○ No cost of hedging reserve needs to be calculated.○ Planned cashflow hedge: Posting to position component 1302 Effective / Hedging Reserve.○ Fair value hedge: Posting to position component 1343 P&L Effective / Designated Components


Finance


● For the new hedging scenarios for U.S. GAAP some new settings are available in the hedge accounting calculation type, which simplify the calculation of the hedge accounting key figures:○ Discounting of Elements

At the release of designation of hedging relationships, the system calculates the elements (hedge accounting key figures ELEM_FWD, ELEM_CCBS, ELEM_OTHER) for the hedging instrument and for the hypothetical derivative. The actual (hedging instrument) and aligned (hypothetical derivative) elements are used in the determination of the posting logic (calculation rule cost of hedging reserve).This setting controls whether the elements calculated at release of designation are discounted or not.○ Discounted

If you have entered a payment term shift in the hedging area, your hypothetical derivatives have different times to maturity than the hedging instruments. So, the discount factors will differ which is influencing the posting logic.

○ UndiscountedThis setting has the effect, that the excluded (undesignated) element will correspond to the amount that has accumulated in the cost of hedging reserve at the end of the hedging relationship.

○ Market Value Component CalculationThis setting controls the calculation of the market value components for hedging instruments and hypothetical derivatives in hedging relationships. The following settings are available:○ Complete

The market value of FX forwards is decomposed into four components:○ Spot, reflecting the effect of the change in the FX spot rate between inception and valuation.

The spot component is discounted.○ Forward, reflecting the effect of the change in the FX forward rate between inception and

valuation.○ CCBS, reflecting the effect of cross-currency basis spreads on the market value.○ Others, reflecting other influences such as, for example, bank fees.

The system calculates the Forward, CCBS, and Others Element.The market value of FX options is decomposed into three components:○ Intrinsic value, reflecting the difference between spot/forward and strike.○ Time value, reflecting the possibility of changes in option value based on the volatility of the

You now can execute a prospective effectiveness testing using linear regression during the release of designation. In addition, system can automatically create the documentation of the hedging relationship during the release of designation.

Technical Details

Type Changed




Finance





Additional Details

Prospective Effectiveness TestAt the time of designation tdesig., the hedging instruments as well as the hypothetical derivatives (representing the exposure) have certain values for the total NPV and market value components. These amounts are calculated at designation date using the market value at designation date.

In the course of time after designation, the total NPV and market value components of the hedging instruments and hypothetical derivatives change. Ideally, the values of the designated components of the hedging instruments and the hypothetical derivative move in opposite directions but with the same absolute amount, so that the total amount of the designated components (hedging instruments + hypothetical derivative) is stable. In such cases, the hedging relationship is deemed effective.

To prove the effectiveness of a hedging relationship, a prospective effectiveness test is performed at the time of designation. If this test fails, the hedging relationship is not deemed effective and therefore must not be designated.

To this end, the total NPV and market value components are calculated at designation date using various alternative sets of market data (representing different possible future market data constellations). This could be artificial market data or historical market data (taken from t1 to tn). For each alternative set of market data, the change in the values of the designated components is compared between the hedging instruments and the hypothetical derivative. The change in the values for all alternative sets of market data is finally the basis for the linear regression, which, in the case of an ideal hedge, should result in a slope close to -1.


If you want a hedging relationship to be designated only in cases when the effectiveness has been proved, you need to do the following:

● In the Customizing under Define Effectiveness Test Methods, you need to define an effectiveness method with Eff.Test Method Category 22 Linear Regression with MDS). Under Define Hedging Profiles, the Test Plan Category must not be set to 2 Effectiveness Testing is Disabled. In addition, you must assign the prospective effectiveness test method with Eff.Test Method Category 22 Linear Regression with MDS) in the Prosp. Eff. Method field to complete the settings for effectiveness testing.

● Define market data sets using the Manage Market Data Sets app.● Assign the market data set in the relevant hedging areas, on the Hedge Accounting II tab, together with the

hedging profile to a combination of company code, valuation area, and hedging classification. During the creation of a hedging relationship, this market data set is included in the generated test plan.As a result of the above settings, a prospective effectiveness test is integrated in the designation process and performed automatically during the release of designation using the Release Hedging Business Transactions app.

Automatic documentation of hedging relationshipThe documentation of the hedging relationship is automatically created during the release of designation. You can access the documentation in the Manage Hedging Relationships app on Documentation tab. If you reverse the release of the designation, the documentation is set to Reversed.


The delivered PDF forms provide detailed information about the hedged items (including the hypothetical derivative) and the hedging instruments of the hedging relationship. You can create your own PDF forms using the Form Builder (transaction SFP).


● Under Transaction Manager General Settings Hedge Accounting for Positions Define Hedging Profile , you make the following settings to activate the automatic creation of documentation:○ In the Documentation Handling area, you do not set the documentation as optional in Documentation

Optional (Yes/No) field.

NoteIf you set the documentation as optional, no documentation will be created during release of designation.

○ To complete the settings for the documentation you have to assign the PDF form (one of the predefined PDF forms or your own PDF form) in PDF-Based Forms: Form Name field.The following predefined forms are available:○ TR_F_THX_NOTE_HREL_FXRISK_FX for FX transactions○ TR_F_THX_NOTE_HREL_FXRISK_OP for FX options○ TR_F_THX_NOTE_HREL_FXRISK_OP2 for collar FX options

During the FX option exercise process you must enter the hedging classification of the FX option on the Administration tab of the underlying spot transaction.

NoteIn case the hedging classification is not filled, the FX spot/forward is not designated into the hedging relationship.

To finalize the process, you must release the business transactions using the Release Hedging Business Transactions (transaction TPM120). The system calculates the hedge accounting key figures at the Exercise Date and assigns a new market data container to the hedging relationship for the FX option as well as for the underlying FX spot/forward transaction.



● You must assign an hedging profile (relevant for FX forwards) in the Profile Underlying field within the hedging profile of the existing hedging relationship (in the Customizing activity Define Hedging Profiles). The assigned hedging profile is needed to find the hedge accounting rule for the spot transaction.

● You can define Rate valuation for forward exchange transaction procedures, which get the Do not Execute in the Case of Hedge Accounting indicator.This enables you to assign the needed valuation procedures for designated subpositions and different valuation procedures for the freestanding subpositions in one positions management procedure.

Additional Settings in the Hedge Accounting Calculation Type● Discounting of Elements

At the release of designation of hedging relationships, the system calculates the elements (hedge accounting key figures ELEM_FWD, ELEM_CCBS, ELEM_OTHER) for the hedging instrument and for the hypothetical derivative. The actual (hedging instrument) and aligned (hypothetical derivative) elements are used in the determination of the posting logic (calculation rule cost of hedging reserve).


This setting controls whether the elements calculated at release of designation are discounted or not.○ Discounted

If you have entered a payment term shift in the hedging area, your hypothetical derivatives have different times to maturity than the hedging instruments. So, the discount factors will differ which is influencing the posting logic.

○ UndiscountedThis setting has the effect, that the excluded (undesignated) element will correspond to the amount that has accumulated in the cost of hedging reserve at the end of the hedging relationship.

● Hypothetical Der. Forward RateThis setting controls how the system calculates the forward rate during the creation of hypothetical derivatives for hedging relationships. The following settings are available○ Yield Curve

The theoretical forward rate is calculated based on the yield curves of the two involved currencies.○ Swap Rate

The forward rate is calculated as the sum of the spot rate and the swap rate according to the relevant swap rate curve (see also Define Swap Rate Curve Structure and Assign Swap Rate Curve Structure to Currency Pairs).

○ According to Evaluation TypeThe system behavior for FX forwards depends on the value of the setting FX Valuation Method chosen in the evaluation type / valuation rule. In case of the valuation method Discounting Before Currency Conversion (zero method), the yield curve is used. In case of the valuation method Currency Conversion Before Discounting (par method), the swap rate is used.

○ From Financial TransactionThe forward rate is copied from the financial transaction.

For FX options, the system uses the yield curve.

NoteFor FX options as hedging instruments, the strike adjustment for the hypothetical derivative uses the spot or discounted forward rate, depending on how the intrinsic value is calculated. You can control the intrinsic value calculation with the Intrinsic Value Without Day Count Basis indicator in the evaluation type on Evaluation Control tab in Valuation Control area.

● Market Value Component CalculationThis setting controls the calculation of the market value components for hedging instruments and hypothetical derivatives in hedging relationships. The following settings are available:○ Complete

It is relevant during the calculation of the net present value of the hypothetical derivative if the FX Valuation Method in the relevant evaluation type on the Evaluation Control 2 tab is set to Currency Conversion Before Discounting and, in addition, in the FX Fixing Details field, the Consider Fixing Date and Settlement Currency indicator is selected. If this is the case, the currency conversion is performed using the rate at the fixing date.The following settings are available:○ None

No fixing information is derived from the hedging instrument. Therefore, the hypothetical derivative for a non-deliverable forward is an FX forward.

○ From Non-Deliverable Forwards OnlyThe fixing date and settlement currency are taken from the non-deliverable forward, which acts as the hedging instrument. The hypothetical derivative for an NDF is an NDF.

○ From FX Forwards and Non-Deliverable Forwards○ If the hedging instrument is a non-deliverable forward, the fixing date and settlement currency are

taken from the non-deliverable forward. The hypothetical derivative is an NDF.○ If the hedging instrument is an FX forward with a due date shift according to the hedging area

settings, the fixing date is set to the due date of the FX forward. As a result, the hypothetical derivative looks like a non-deliverable forward even though the hedging instrument is an FX forward.

Enhancements to Account Assignment References for Exposure Subitems and FX Transactions

● For exposure subitems the account assignment reference transfer is enabled.● For FX transactions the hedging classification is introduced as additional characteristic for the derivation of

the account assignment reference. This allows you to distinguish account assignments by the relevant hedging classifications.

3.6.1 Automatic Option Delta Factor Calculation

The Market Risk Analyzer-based calculation of option delta factors is provided for OTC options and listed options. The option delta factor is automatically updated when creating and changing OTC options and listed options.

When processing financial transactions, database tables instantaneously provide analytical source data for the Commodity Position Reporting and Mark-to-Market Reporting.

In the Commodity Position Reporting, the option delta factor for OTC options and listed options can reflect the following:

● Full underlying position● ‘In the money’ and ‘Out of the money’● Delta-weighted position (standard option delta method)

In the Mark-to-Market Reporting, the option delta factor is used as attribute and as a key figure.

To implement an individual delta factor calculation, you can use the BAdI CMMF_UPDATE_MRA_KF (BAdI: Update External Key Figures for Commodity Evaluation).

● You can use standard FTR interfaces (BAPI) to process commodity OTC options. With the new BOR object BUS5761 you can, for example, create, exercise, reverse, or settle financial transactions.

● For analytical purposes, you can use the BAdI CMMF_UPDATE_MRA_KF to override the analytical key figure values, like the option delta factor that are calculated by the evaluation process with individual key figure values.

● The commodity derivatives are integrated with the Correspondence Framework of Treasury and Risk Management.

TM integrates directly with SAP Credit Management when you configure TM and SAP Credit Management on a single client. If you configure SAP Credit Management on a separate system or client, TM uses Web Services to interact with SAP Credit Management.

If you configure SAP Credit Management on a separate system or client, TM informs SAP Credit Management about the credit limit check amount approved for a customer in a specific forwarding order using the Notify of Credit Commitment (CreditCommitmentNotification_Out) service operation in the Transportation Request Processing process component.

If you configure SAP Credit Management on a separate system or client, TM informs SAP Credit Management about the credit limit check amount in billing documents that are related to an approved forwarding order using the Notify of Credit Commitment (CreditCommitmentNotification_Out) service operation in the Customer Freight Invoice Request Processing process component.

For more information about SAP Credit Management, see SAP Library for SAP S/4HANA under Enterprise Business Applications Finance Financial Operations Receivables Management SAP Credit Management (FIN-FSCM-CR) .


In Customizing, you can specify that the credit limit check feature can be enabled by forwarding order type. If you make this specification, the system automatically performs a credit limit check when you save a forwarding order. You can review the credit limit check status for orders in the Forwarding Orders worklist, and perform a manual check in an individual forwarding order.

For more information about enabling the credit limit check for a forwarding order type, see Customizing for Transportation Management under. Forwarding Order Management Forwarding Order Define Forwarding Order Types .

○ A procurement product is based on a single article that has the function of a sales product. Procurement products are created by using the new Create Procurement Products - Logistical Products app.For information about this app, see Create Procurement Products.

The app proposes procurement products based on the possible valid combinations of order unit and issue units of the sales product for which procurement products have not yet been created.

You can then define which procurement products or sales products can be procured by stores and distribution centers from which internal or external supplier within a given period by using the new Assign Logistical Products - Sites and Suppliers app. For information about this app, see Assign Logistical Products.


Articles for which stock separation is not required and for which procurement products do not need to be created can be created and processed in the same way as before the introduction of logistical products.

The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to the new SAP Fiori apps: the Create Procurement Products - Logistical Products app and the Assign Logistical Products- Sites and Suppliers app.

The Display Article app (MM43) and the Change Article, Maintain Article app (MM42) can be used to display information about the components of a logistical product on the Basic Data screen:

● Logistical product category of the product● Associated sales product

If the product is a sales product, the name of the product and the sales product are the same because the product references itself.

NoteProcurement products can only be created by using the Create Procurement Products - Logistical Products app.

NoteIf more than one purchasing organization is assigned to a site, no source list entries can be created in the Assign Logistical Products - Sites and Suppliers app.

For information about the effects of the use of logistical products on data used in purchasing and stock transport ordering, see Working with Logistical Products.


Logistical products can be exchanged via ALE using BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT or the IDoc of the article. The relevant logistical product data is stored in segment E1BPE1MARART1 of IDoc type ARTMAS09 (message type ARTMAS), which has been enhanced to include the fields LOGISTICAL_MAT_CATEGORY and SALES_MATERIAL.

13.4.1.3.4 Configurable Validations for Cardinality Breaches in Test Structures

This feature enables you to set new project settings (context menu of the project/Properties/PMQ Settings/Project Settings/Validation Settings) in a new group Cardinalities which contains two options for the breach of cardinalities in test structures (Underrunning minimum cardinality in test structures and Exceeding maximum cardinality in test structures). These validations check whether the cardinalities for relation instances correspond to the specifications from the product module relations. Both options are configurable (Ignore, Warning, Error). The default setting is - as before - Warning.

13.4.1.3.5 Improvements for Importing Test Structures

This feature enables you to filter certain contents via a text field in the wizard for importing test structures. An alphabetical sorting can be carried out by clicking on the respective column header. The column Modification Date is sorted by date/time.

Previously, a directory had to be selected for the import of test structures. The last selected directory is now set as default when the wizard is started.


Test structures whose data version is not supported by the PMQ.Designer used are displayed in gray within the table. In this case a corresponding warning is displayed in the upper part of the wizard.

13.4.1.3.10 Object Extensions for Structures

This feature enables you to extend structures. Object extensions represent the last functional gap to msg.PM 3.x, which is thus significantly reduced. Extensions allow customers to customize delivered standard content according to their needs.

The title of the editor is indicated in the case of an extension by the addition "-extended". With the help of the

new button in the structure editor, a new enhancement object can be created. The buttons and allow navigation between the objects of an extension chain.

13.4.1.3.11 Customer Specific Default Settings for Projects and Workspaces

With this feature you can ensure that new projects and workspaces are initialized according to their specifications. The respective user can still set his own settings. In this case, however, only settings that deviate from the currently valid standard are permanently saved. Therefore, the use of the configuration file can also affect existing projects and workspaces.

The configuration file plugin_customization.ini is provided in the bin directory of the Designer installation to define the customer-specific default settings. All default settings in the file are commented out and can be activated or adjusted if required. The configuration file to be used is defined using the command line parameter –pluginCustomization. This parameter is now stored by default in the file PMQDesigner.ini for the user interface and in the file eclipsec.ini for the headless execution.

The previously existing headless command SetProductiveObjectModification and the option lockedObjectsMode on the command ImportContentArchive are no longer required, since they can now be specified using a configuration file.

13.4.1.3.13 Change List for PSV Import

This feature enables you to produce a list that contains all changed, added and deleted content objects and packages since the last full build. This serves as preparation because of the creation of a C runtime compilation and the subsequent PSV import into the SAP system using CAIMAN can lead to unacceptable runtimes for large contents. In future releases, the CAIMAN component will use this list to reduce the amount of data to be transferred to the SAP system.

13.4.1.3.14 Improvements for Formula Editing

With this feature you can configure the previous validation for reserved M10 words, which always up to now generated a warning message by default, with the setting options Error, Warning or Ignore in the project settings (context menu of the project/Properties/PMQ Settings/Project Settings/Validations) under Other/Reserved words in names (M10).

The validation checks, whether objects exist that have a name that corresponds to the M10 syntax.

Further the auto-completion for M10 source code was extended by the completion of all preprocessor definitions predefined in msg.PMQ.

Besides, the existing hover for M10 source code elements has been extended by information for predefined preprocessor definitions, local and external variables, result variables and auto-index variables.


Industries

In this context, the data type and dimension are now also displayed for the following objects:

● Content objects (for example formulas, user exits)● Attributes, methods and message fields declared by 'data'● Enumeration elements, table columns and structure fields

The extension also includes the display of type comments at the level of product modules or tables in the M10 hover and in auto-completion.

Technical Details

Type New





13.4.1.3.15 Detail Improvements

The following features describe detail improvements:

● PMQ.Designer○ Improved Display of Comments

The display of comments for product modules, tables and table columns has been improved. If no comment is set on the level of the product modules or tables - if available - the corresponding type comment is displayed (option Display from type)A copy of the type comment when creating new elements is therefore no longer necessary. The behavior has been adjusted accordingly.

○ Consolidation of Overrides for Product Module (Type) Folders The previous functionality "Search for unnecessary overwrites" has been extended. The search started via the context menu now also contains unnecessary overwriting of attribute and method folders of product modules, templates and product module types. The result is displayed via the view Console and can also be cleaned up via the command.

○ Improved Display and Deletion of Test InstancesThe display of product module instances in the test structure editor has been improved. In addition to the labels, the (decorated) icons of the relation objects are now also displayed. In addition, improvements have been made to the display performance of the test structure and test result editor.When deleting multiple referenced instances, the user can choose whether only the current occurrence or all occurrences in the tree are to be deleted.

○ Headless Command for Importing Test StructuresA new headless command ImportTestStructures has been added, which allows the import of test structures (and included test cases) by specifying a source and target path. The build must be


executed explicitly as a subsequent command. The creation of test data (manually or via plugin_customization.ini) must be activated.

○ Improvements for Folders in Test StructuresThe behavior for showing and hiding folders in the test structure editor has been adapted to the behavior of the product module editor. In the list and detail view, folders can now be shown or hidden

using the button ○ Improving the Output of Headless Test Commands

The output of the test execution commands of the batch mode of PMQ.Designer has been standardized. The qualified names of the currently executed test case are now displayed with percentage progress. In addition, the mass test command has been extended by the output of the result values of the calculation instructions.The execution status (OK | Checking error and Error with associated error message) is now output for each executed test case.

○ Incremental Build in Headless ModeThe headless command Build has been extended by the optional parameter -incremental, which allows the execution of an incremental build of all projects in the workspace. This reduces the runtimes of the headless deployment for Java and C runtime by approximately 75% compared to the previous release.To achieve such improvements, the workspace in the headless deployment must not be changed. The latest changes are retrieved from the version control system before each new deployment. The new parameter causes only the changed objects and their dependencies to be built.

○ Display of the Last Calculation Result in the Debugger

In the view PMQ Variables of the Debugging perspective, a special variable is now displayed after each step operation that took place at the end of a calculation (calculation of formulas, functions, user exits, methods or attributes).

○ Refactoring of Tables for Deleted Structure Type FieldsIf a field in a structure type is deleted, the corresponding columns in the implementing tables are now deleted by refactoring. Exceptions are columns in external tables and columns that are part of a key or table index.

○ Improvements for Creating Structure Types

The structure type editor has been extended with the button Create structure type .The structure type of the opened editor is preset as the basic type in the installation wizard.

○ Search for Inherited PropertiesInherited single data on overwritten elements can now be searched for by activating the option Consider single value inheritance in the section Inheritance State of the PMQ Base Search. This option is deactivated by default.

○ Validation for Negative Sort KeysThe system now checks whether negative sort keys exist for elements, packages and folders. After entering a negative sort key and saving the changed object, a warning appears in the Error view.

○ Quick Fix for Incorrect Language-Dependent ValuesIf a language is removed from the technical schema, warnings are issued for the language-dependent values of the elements that use this language. In this case, a corresponding warning message is created. This message has been extended with a quick fix that deletes the language-dependent values of all elements that refer to a non-existent language.

○ Checking the Workspace Version in Headless ModeThe behavior for checking the workspace version in headless mode has been extended. A warning now appears in headless mode - as in UI mode - if the versions of PMQ.Designer and the workspace to be opened are incompatible. Such a check within a batch process can prevent unexpected program behavior with possible data loss.


Industries

○ Plugin for Checking CharactersFor PMQ.Designer an example for a user-specific plugin for character checking is provided (see delivery structure …\Samples\CustomerValidationPlugin\). With the help of this plugin, invalid special characters are recognized and marked. This allows problems in downstream IT systems to be avoided at an early stage during the development of product data. Invalid characters can be configured by regular expression.

● POTATO○ Support of Object Libraries and Object Extensions

The export and import behavior of POTATO has been adjusted. It is now possible to export and import objects from object libraries and extension objects. A separate folder is created for each project from which the data is exported. This avoids indexes in file names in the case of objects with the same name. A new data version of the POTATO configuration has been created (data version 1812). As of this release, the version is displayed in the format YYMM - as already for PMQ.Designer.

13.4.1.3.16 Error Corrections and Usability Improvements

The following features fix smaller issues:

● PMQ.Designer○ The version could not be changed when creating a C runtime deployment. This has been fixed.○ For entries from enumeration extensions, the function "Search in values and restrictions" did not work

if the corresponding base enumeration was in a library. This has been fixed.○ When cleaning up unnecessary overrides on attributes, different value contraints on nullability were

not recognized if the difference was only baseline nullability. This has been fixed.○ When importing PM3 test instances, detailed error messages are now output if errors occur due to

invalid XML.○ Entries with the same name in enumerations are now displayed correctly. Furthermore, a validation for

this error case has been added.○ The structure copy wizard was not able to handle complex structures of aggregated product modules

(incorrect display, partially missing functionality). This has been fixed.○ Attribute and method folders have references to their child elements. If such a reference points to an

element that no longer exists, then this case cannot be displayed useful on the user interface. A quick correction to remove these references has been added.


○ The functional scope of the PMQ Basic Search and the PMQ Expert Search are not congruent. Therefore, a message window is now displayed if the search query of the PMQ Basic Search cannot be copied directly to the clipboard as an OCL query. The following search criteria are currently affected: Section „Inheritance State" (= inherited) for attributes and folders and Section „Test Instances" and „Contents" for Test Objects.

○ When using the PMQ.Designer- Batch interface (PMQDesignerBatch.bat), deadlocks could occur under certain circumstances, so that started jobs did not end. This has been fixed.

○ Resource Working Sets of projects are now supported in the view PMQ Explorer.○ The headless behavior of PMQ.Designer has been adjusted. Structural changes (new/deleted

elements, renaming) could cause the indexes in the deployment workspace to be out of date. The command Deploy now implicitly executes a (full)build, which means that a separate triggering of the command Build is no longer necessary.

○ Several improvements have been made to the custom builder framework. The technical base was changed to a task-based approach. With the help of the new interface IValidationProblemHandler global validations (e.g. uniqueness checks for the complete workspace) can be implemented. Markers can now be set depending on the project or library name. This is especially useful for objects with the same qualified name (e.g. base object and extension object).

○ The technical base of attribute and method folders for product modules, templates and product module types has been revised. In this context, several bugs have been fixed.

○ If a table is created based on a structure type, all columns now have the default value of their structure type field - even if the default value is <NULL>.

○ The properties Label and Description were partly copied from the type level and partly not when creating subordinate elements. These inconsistencies have been corrected, a copy of the properties Label and Description is always created.

○ The keyboard shortcut for switching the Detail view in the test structure and test result editor has been changed from SHIFT+S to CTRL+ALT+S.

○ User-specific symbols were not displayed in some editors and selection dialogs. This has been fixed.○ In enumeration extensions, subordinate entries of inherited enumeration entries were displayed twice.

This has been fixed.○ The error markers in PMQ.Designer are now selected even if the error log was closed before.○ The option 'Update GUIDs for stable object references' has been removed from the dialog 'Update

product data', as it is now an integral part of updating to the latest product data version (option 1 of the dialog).

● POTATO○ The handling of relative paths has been adapted. Relative path specifications in POTATO configurations

were previously interpreted relative to the installation directory of PMQ.Designer. The interpretation is now relative to the POTATO configuration file. The behavior is therefore analogous to Deployment configurations.

○ In the course of supporting workspace file restrictions, various utility classes have been moved from the plugin de.msg.pm.datatransport.core to the plugin de.msg.pm.datatransport.transporter.excel.These classes include methods for formatting and parsing information in Excel cells. Furthermore, the shift is necessary in order to be able to create version-specific classes for parsing (necessary for importing) in the future. The original classes/methods from the plugin de.msg.pm.datatransport.core in the package de.msg.pm.datatransport.core.util will be marked deprecated in the current release and deleted in the next release.

○ The values for the parameter loglevel of the headless command RunPotatoCommand have been standardized with those of the POTATO configuration. In addition to the previous values ERROR|WARN|INFO, the values ALL|OFF|DEBUG|FATAL are now also permitted.


Industries

○ The abbreviations used in POTATO-Excel (e.g. for restriction types) have been standardized to two characters. Furthermore, various column names in Excel have been adapted to PMQ.Designer. In the case of enumeration restrictions, the values of the selected entries are no longer written to the Excel file, but rather their names (alignment with PMQ data format).

○ Missing path specifications for calculation functions after POTATO ex- and import led to calculation errors. This has been fixed.

○ Enumeration restrictions contained in the POTATO export without an assigned enumeration resulted in a null pointer exception. This has been fixed.

○ The interfaces that are incompatible for the PMQ transport are marked as deprecated in the current release and deleted in the future. This concerns the following methods of the class ProductDataManager, which have been moved to PM3ProductDataManager:○ getIdTypeIndex()○ getNameTypeIndex()○ getProductModuleTypeByID(String productModuleTypeID)○ getProductModuleTypeByName(String productModuleTypeName)
