Additional Details

You can use the app Other Transactions to enter acquisitions and retirements not affecting profit/loss; this is necessary for mergers and takeovers.

Effects on Existing Data

None.

Effects on Data Transfer

For a legacy data transfer, you may have to use different transaction types if the transfer occurs during the year. This is not necessary if the transfer takes place at the end of the fiscal year.

Effects on Customizing

New transaction types support you with making the correct entry for acquisitions and retirements not affecting profit/loss in the context of mergers and takeovers.

1.2.3.8 Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets

In the asset master record, you can enter the profit center and segment. In addition, the profit center and the corresponding segment are derived automatically if a cost center or internal order is entered in the asset master record. This enables you to consistently create asset reports at the profit center or segment level.

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component FI-AA

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Effects on Existing Data

For the profit center and the segment to be derived consistently and for postings to be made correctly on this basis, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

● If there is only a cost center in the asset master record, the profit center is derived from it.● If there is a simultaneous assignment, both of a cost center and an internal order and any other CO object in

the asset master record, it must be possible to uniquely derive one profit center.

Any segment stored is derived from the profit center.

If a reorganization of a capitalized asset master record causes a change in the profit center and segment information, the corresponding asset balances, such as acquisition and production costs and cumulative depreciation, are automatically transferred to the new profit center and segment.

Required Activities

To derive the profit center or segment for previously existing fixed assets, schedule a productive run in the Schedule Fixed Asset Accounting Jobs application using the Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting template.

NoteYou only need to resolve conflicts manually in case of missing or conflicting time-dependent assignments, for example if no cost center is assigned or if an internal order or cost center with different profit center information is assigned to the same asset master record.

1.2.4 Consolidation

1.2.5 Revenue and Cost Accounting

1.2.5.1 Target Revenue

This feature enables detailed margin reporting for fixed­price projects. For example, you can see margin by individual employee. The reported revenues are calculated by simulating T&E billing. The simulated revenues are posted to a target revenue account.

Technical Details

Table 31:

Product Feature is New

Application Component CO-PC-OBJ-EBR

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Additional Details

Target revenue can only be calculated for SAP CPM (Commercial Project Management) projects.

Calculation of target revenue for fixed­price projects is activated through the recognition key. A recognition key can only be assigned to a project before any actual postings have been made. Hence it is not possible to calculate target revenue for postings that existed before the recognition key was assigned.

Postings

Both line items for the target revenue are posted to the same G/L account, so the balance posted to the account is zero.

Page 36: What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708 … · What's New PUBLIC Document Version: 1.0 – 2017-08-07 What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

The line items are assigned to different profit centers:

● The target revenue is assigned to the employee’s profit center.● The offsetting posting is assigned to the project profit center.

The fixed­price revenue is assigned to the project profit center.

NoteFor performance reasons, target revenue is only calculated in event-based processing, not in period-end closing. Therefore, error messages from event-based processing have to be resolved and cannot be deleted, otherwise target revenue postings would be missing.

However, if you aren't using target revenue, you can decide whether to process period-end closing separately by journal entry or whether it is sufficient to post the revenue as a total. If the revenue is posted as a total, the error messages from event-based processing can be deleted.

2.3.9 Deletion of Personal Data in Quality Management

This feature enables you to block and delete personal data in a simplified way by using SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).

Personal data collected in business partner master data can be blocked as soon as business activities that use this data are completed and the residence time for the data has elapsed; after this time, only users with additional authorizations can access this data.

When the retention period for data expires, personal data can be destroyed completely so that it can no longer be retrieved. Retention periods must be defined in the customer system.

Application Component QM

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Additional Details

Based on the retention period defined for data in the customer system, an end of purpose (EoP) check determines whether this data is still relevant for business activities. The retention period is part of the overall lifecycle of personal data, which consists of the following phases:

● Business activity: The relevant data is used in ongoing business, for example, contract creation, delivery, payment.

● Residence period: The data remains in the database and can be used in case of subsequent processes related to the original purpose, for example, reporting obligations.

● Blocking period: The relevant data needs to be retained for legal reasons. During the blocking period, business users of SAP applications are prevented from displaying and using this data; it can only be processed in case of mandatory legal provisions.

● Deletion: The data is deleted and no longer exists on the database.

Blocking of data can impact system behavior in the following ways:

● Display: The system does not display blocked data.● Change: It is not possible to change a business object that contains blocked data.● Create: It is not possible to create a business object that contains blocked data.● Copy/Follow-Up: It is not possible to copy a business object or perform follow-up activities for a business

object that contains blocked data.

Only users with special authorization can display blocked data; they are not authorized, however, to create, change, or copy business objects with blocked data, or perform follow-up activities with these business objects.

With this object page, you can display the details of external billing document requests (EBDRs).

EBDRs are request objects that serve to transform and persist billing data that your SAP S/4HANA system has received from an external source (such as an external SAP system). EBDRs enable you to bill external billing data from different sources. Moreover, you can converge external billing data (for example, pay-per-use data) with internal billing data (for example, billable items from a delivery). This enables you to bill customers for offerings that combine different billing types through a combined, single invoice.

4.1.3.2 Create Billing Documents

The worklist in the Create Billing Documents app now also lists external billing document requests (EBDRs). EBDRs contain billing data from external sources, such as external SAP systems. EBDRs can be billed independently or converged with billable sales and distribution documents (such as deliveries and debit memo requests) to produce combined customer invoices. This process is called omnichannel convergent billing.

One major advantage of the omnichannel approach to billing is that it greatly reduces the administrative overhead that is traditionally associated with the combined billing of solution-centric offerings.

NoteThe following two new fields have been added to the app to provide you with information about EBDRs that appear in your worklist. You can use them as filters and additional worklist columns.

Use

Procurement departments across all company sizes are continuing to centralize their procurement processes. This is done either on a global or a regional basis.

6.2.4 Make-to-Stock Production - Repetitive Manufacturing

Use

In Repetitive Manufacturing, the master plan is represented by the planning table. The planning table is a tool for operative planning and is used to plan the production quantities: In a repetitive manufacturing environment, planning and control is usually carried out in a period and quantity basis. The layout of the planning table has been designed to support this requirement and is also based on periods to provide a very clear, easy-to-interpret overview of materials and production lines.

The planning table is the most important tool used by Production Planners / MRP Controllers to plan the production quantities. At a glance, the planner can check production quantities, monitor the available capacity of the production lines and check up on the availability of the products produced on each line.

You can directly enter and change production quantities in the planning table. You can assign ‘non-assigned’ production quantities to the production lines or you can reassign production quantities to alternative production lines.

You can use the planning table for planning with planned orders and production orders. The only prerequisite is that you must create a valid production version in the material master record.

9.1.2 Mass Schedule Maintenance Plans

As a maintenance planner, you can use this app to schedule all maintenance plans that are due within a specific time frame. This simplifies the creation of maintenance call objects for maintenance plans, especially if you need to schedule large numbers of maintenance plans.

You can view a list of all maintenance plans already scheduled within a certain time frame and generate new maintenance calls and call objects. You can specify scheduling options, such as the date and time for the system to start the scheduling and you determine maintenance plan options. You can enter a time frame within which the maintenance calls and call objects are to be generated, you can specify additional selection parameters for the maintenance plans and the technical objects and you determine the number of parallel processes if you use parallel processing for the automatic scheduling of maintenance plans.

Additional Details

When you create or change a maintenance order, you can assign maintenance notifications, technical objects, assemblies, materials, and serial numbers. Up to now, on the SAP Web UI, the object list only displayed the header notification and all the objects that have been assigned to that maintenance order on the Objects tab page in the relevant SAP Gui transactions. With this product feature, you can now add and remove objects directly on the Object List tab page. This means that technical objects, assemblies, materials, and serial numbers are assigned to the maintenance order on header level.

The header notification still has to be created or assigned on the General Data tab page. The system displays the header notification on the Object List tab page and selects the Header Notification checkbox. However, you can assign additional maintenance notifications directly on the Object List tab page.

The system does not create order operations automatically if you assign maintenance notifications.

In addition to being able to add new entries to the object list, you can also remove assigned objects.

Effects on Existing Data

Up to now, you could use the Object List tab page only in display mode and the table rows were greyed out. This product feature enables you to create new table row entries and offers a Delete button to remove entries from the list. Furthermore, the new checkbox Header Notification allows you to identify the header notification.

9.1.6.2 Maintenance Plan Call Information in Order List, and Order and Operation List (for Web UI)

With this product feature, you can list the maintenance plan call number, call status, completion date, call date, and planned date of maintenance plan scheduled calls in the Order List, and Order and Notification List worklists in the Order and Notification Information Center application.

You can open this application in the SAP NetWeaver Business Client, with the Work Overview menu item.

This feature enables maintenance planners to easily compare the dates of the order and the dates of the relevant maintenance call, to prove that all obligatory maintenance activities have been started before or on the date specified in the maintenance plan. If an accident happens, this can prove that the company has done every precaution, and therefore legally is not at fault.

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component FI-AA

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Effects on Existing Data

For the profit center and the segment to be derived consistently and for postings to be made correctly on this basis, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

● If there is only a cost center in the asset master record, the profit center is derived from it.● If there is a simultaneous assignment, both of a cost center and an internal order and any other CO object in

the asset master record, it must be possible to uniquely derive one profit center.

Any segment stored is derived from the profit center.

If a reorganization of a capitalized asset master record causes a change in the profit center and segment information, the corresponding asset balances, such as acquisition and production costs and cumulative depreciation, are automatically transferred to the new profit center and segment.

Required Activities

To derive the profit center or segment for previously existing fixed assets, schedule a productive run in the Schedule Fixed Asset Accounting Jobs application using the Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting template.

NoteYou only need to resolve conflicts manually in case of missing or conflicting time-dependent assignments, for example if no cost center is assigned or if an internal order or cost center with different profit center information is assigned to the same asset master record.

13.1.2.2.5 Revenue and Cost Accounting

13.1.2.2.5.1 Target Revenue

This feature enables detailed margin reporting for fixed­price projects. For example, you can see margin by individual employee. The reported revenues are calculated by simulating T&E billing. The simulated revenues are posted to a target revenue account.

Technical Details

Table 437:

Product Feature is New

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component CO-PC-OBJ-EBR

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Additional Details

Target revenue can only be calculated for SAP CPM (Commercial Project Management) projects.

Calculation of target revenue for fixed­price projects is activated through the recognition key. A recognition key can only be assigned to a project before any actual postings have been made. Hence it is not possible to calculate target revenue for postings that existed before the recognition key was assigned.

Postings

Both line items for the target revenue are posted to the same G/L account, so the balance posted to the account is zero.

The line items are assigned to different profit centers:

● The target revenue is assigned to the employee’s profit center.● The offsetting posting is assigned to the project profit center.

The fixed­price revenue is assigned to the project profit center.

NoteFor performance reasons, target revenue is only calculated in event-based processing, not in period-end closing. Therefore, error messages from event-based processing have to be resolved and cannot be deleted, otherwise target revenue postings would be missing.

However, if you aren't using target revenue, you can decide whether to process period-end closing separately by journal entry or whether it is sufficient to post the revenue as a total. If the revenue is posted as a total, the error messages from event-based processing can be deleted.

13.1.2.3 Treasury and Financial Risk Management

13.1.2.3.1 Cash and Liquidity Management

13.1.2.3.1.1 Cash Flow Analyzer

With the Working Day Shift function, you can now shift the amounts in non-working days to the next or previous working days.

With the Period Ending function, you can get an end-of-period report.

● If you choose By Calendar, the period end falls to the calendar end of the period, such as month end, and year end.

● If you choose By Interval, the period end falls to the end of the interval in a time period.

13.1.3.1.2 Billing and Invoicing

13.1.3.1.2.1 External Billing Document Request

With this object page, you can display the details of external billing document requests (EBDRs).

EBDRs are request objects that serve to transform and persist billing data that your SAP S/4HANA system has received from an external source (such as an external SAP system). EBDRs enable you to bill external billing data from different sources. Moreover, you can converge external billing data (for example, pay-per-use data) with internal billing data (for example, billable items from a delivery). This enables you to bill customers for offerings that combine different billing types through a combined, single invoice.

Technical Details

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Additional Details

After external billing data is received by your SAP S/4HANA Cloud system and persisted in the form of EBDRs, these EBDRs appear in the billing due list of the Create Billing Documents app. From the billing due list, they can be billed independently or converged with other billing due list items.

13.1.3.1.2.2 Create Billing Documents

The worklist in the Create Billing Documents app now also lists external billing document requests (EBDRs). EBDRs contain billing data from external sources, such as external SAP systems. EBDRs can be billed independently or converged with billable sales and distribution documents (such as deliveries and debit memo requests) to produce combined customer invoices. This process is called omnichannel convergent billing.

One major advantage of the omnichannel approach to billing is that it greatly reduces the administrative overhead that is traditionally associated with the combined billing of solution-centric offerings.

NoteThe following two new fields have been added to the app to provide you with information about EBDRs that appear in your worklist. You can use them as filters and additional worklist columns.

● The billing document request (BDR) reference field provides a reference number that uniquely identifies the billing data within the external system from which it originates.

● The BDR reference system field provides the name of this external system.

You can filter on sales documents, issues, and issue categories, and also add more filters, such as potential issues. You can also use the fuzzy search to search for sales document, customer reference, created by user, and sold-to party.

A donut chart displays your filter results with the total issues for each issue type.

The app displays a list of sales orders with issues, depending on what you have filtered on. From here, you can navigate to resolve these issues and to the relevant follow-up document object pages.

Note that if you want to use the app, you need to add it to your home page manually. You do this by choosing Edit Home Page in the Me Area. Next, search for the app in Sales Order Processing and add it to your home page.

If the tile for an affected analytical app was available on a user's SAP Fiori Launchpad in a previous release and the user opens the app as of SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708, the app opens with the new Design Studio look and feel. The Web Dynpro version of the app is still available and can be added to the SAP Fiori Launchpad using the App Finder.

Please note the following differences in Design Studio apps:

● When you open a Design Studio app, you are prompted to enter criteria for filtering the data. These filter criteria are not automatically displayed in the Filter Bar.

To see the filter criteria, open the Settings dialog by clicking . Then click Information.● In the new Design Studio version of the apps, you have to re-create your filter variants. Use the Web Dynpro

version of the apps to find your variants for reference.● If you need a screen reader, please use it with the Web Dynpro version of the app for the best results. The

accessible tile has the same name as the Design Studio tile, but, on the SAP Fiori Launchpad, the word "Accessible" is included in the lower right corner.

Effects on System Administration

The change in application type does not affect the set up of your business catalogs or business roles. Users who had access to the analytical apps before this release will also have the same access with the new Design Studio versions.

In the asset master record, you can enter the profit center and segment.

This enables you to consistently create asset reports at the profit center or segment level.

Technical Details

Table 602:

Product Feature is New

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component FI-AA

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Effects on Existing Data

For the profit center and the segment to be derived consistently and for postings to be made correctly on this basis, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

● If there is only a cost center in the asset master record, the profit center is derived from it.● If there is a simultaneous assignment, both of a cost center and an internal order and any other CO object in

the asset master record, it must be possible to uniquely derive one profit center.

Any segment stored is derived from the profit center.

If a reorganization of a capitalized asset master record causes a change in the profit center and segment information, the corresponding asset balances, such as acquisition and production costs and cumulative depreciation, are automatically transferred to the new profit center and segment.

Required Activities

To derive the profit center or segment for previously existing fixed assets, schedule a productive run in the Schedule Fixed Asset Accounting Jobs application using the Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting template.

13.2.1.2.5.1 Target Revenue

This feature enables detailed margin reporting for fixed­price projects. For example, you can see margin by individual employee. The reported revenues are calculated by simulating T&E billing. The simulated revenues are posted to a target revenue account.

Technical Details

Table 607:

Product Feature is New

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component CO-PC-OBJ-EBR

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1708

Additional Details

Target revenue can only be calculated for SAP CPM (Commercial Project Management) projects.

Calculation of target revenue for fixed­price projects is activated through the recognition key. A recognition key can only be assigned to a project before any actual postings have been made. Hence it is not possible to calculate target revenue for postings that existed before the recognition key was assigned.

Postings

Both line items for the target revenue are posted to the same G/L account, so the balance posted to the account is zero.

The line items are assigned to different profit centers:

● The target revenue is assigned to the employee’s profit center.● The offsetting posting is assigned to the project profit center.

The fixed­price revenue is assigned to the project profit center.

NoteFor performance reasons, target revenue is only calculated in event-based processing, not in period-end closing. Therefore, error messages from event-based processing have to be resolved and cannot be deleted, otherwise target revenue postings would be missing.

However, if you aren't using target revenue, you can decide whether to process period-end closing separately by journal entry or whether it is sufficient to post the revenue as a total. If the revenue is posted as a total, the error messages from event-based processing can be deleted.

Additional Details

You use the Transfer of Staffing Assignments tile to open the Application Jobs app.

An application job template is provided. Based on this job template, you schedule a job to transfer existing staffing assignments from customer and internal project management to the resource management apps after SAP S/4HANA Professional Services Cloud for resource management has been activated. This transfer is required so that assignments and key figures are shown correctly in the apps.

NoteOnce resource management has been activated, project managers can no longer staff resources using the customer and internal project management apps.

To use the Transfer of Staffing Assignments tile, you need to be assigned business catalog SAP_CA_BC_RSH_INTEG_PSP_PC. This business catalog is included in the delivered business role template SAP_BR_RESOURCE_MANAGER.

13.2.4.1.1.1 External Billing Document Request

With this object page, you can display the details of external billing document requests (EBDRs).

EBDRs are request objects that serve to transform and persist billing data that your SAP S/4HANA system has received from an external source (such as an external SAP system). EBDRs enable you to bill external billing data from different sources. Moreover, you can converge external billing data (for example, pay-per-use data) with internal billing data (for example, billable items from a delivery). This enables you to bill customers for offerings that combine different billing types through a combined, single invoice.

Additional Details

After external billing data is received by your SAP S/4HANA Cloud system and persisted in the form of EBDRs, these EBDRs appear in the billing due list of the Create Billing Documents app. From the billing due list, they can be billed independently or converged with other billing due list items.

13.2.4.1.1.2 Create Billing Documents

The worklist in the Create Billing Documents app now also lists external billing document requests (EBDRs). EBDRs contain billing data from external sources, such as external SAP systems. EBDRs can be billed independently or converged with billable sales and distribution documents (such as deliveries and debit memo requests) to produce combined customer invoices. This process is called omnichannel convergent billing.

One major advantage of the omnichannel approach to billing is that it greatly reduces the administrative overhead that is traditionally associated with the combined billing of solution-centric offerings.

NoteThe following two new fields have been added to the app to provide you with information about EBDRs that appear in your worklist. You can use them as filters and additional worklist columns.

● The billing document request (BDR) reference field provides a reference number that uniquely identifies the billing data within the external system from which it originates.

● The BDR reference system field provides the name of this external system.

13.2.5.4.5 Upload Supplier Invoices

With this feature, you can upload electronic invoice documents that you have stored as files on your directory. You can now activate SAP S/4HANA Cloud for invoice processing by OpenText. If so, the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the invoice data from the uploaded files. The system either automatically posts one supplier invoice per file, or if posting is not possible, the system creates one draft invoice per file. Each uploaded file is linked as an attachment to the corresponding invoice.

NoteYou require an additional license to be able to use SAP S/4HANA Cloud for invoice processing by OpenText.

For example, Canada tax authorities require tax reporting at company code and tax jurisdiction levels. You can set values for the reporting levels while configuring the reporting entity. The assigned values get defaulted when you run the reports. You can assign the organizational units to the report categories in the Define Advanced Compliance Reports app.

● Data PreviewSAP S/4HANA Cloud for advanced compliance reporting supports generation of multiple output formats, such as, XML, XBRL, TXT, and so on. The data preview option in the Run Advanced Compliance Reports app allows you to visualize and interpret complex output formats in a user-friendly and consistent manner. With data preview feature, you can -○ View repeatable elements in a table format, and non-repeatable elements in a form layout. If a repeatable

element in a table has child nodes, the child node is displayed as a link. You can use the link to view the child node details in a separate view.

○ Mouse-over on labels, and view the documentation for the respective elements. Note, that you can view documentation for an element only if the relevant information is available in the schema.

Coding SamplesAny software coding and/or code lines / strings ("Code") included in this documentation are only examples and are not intended to be used in a productive system environment. The Code is only intended to better explain and visualize the syntax and phrasing rules of certain coding. SAP does not warrant the correctness and completeness of the Code given herein, and SAP shall not be liable for errors or damages caused by the usage of the Code, unless damages were caused by SAP intentionally or by SAP's gross negligence.

Gender-Neutral LanguageAs far as possible, SAP documentation is gender neutral.

If when referring to members of both sexes, however, the third-person singular cannot be avoided or a gender-neutral noun does not exist, SAP reserves the right to use the masculine form of the noun and pronoun. This is to ensure that the documentation remains comprehensible.
