For Asset Accounting, the balance carryforward takes place as part of the balance carryforward program for General Ledger Accounting. You can call up the carryforward program in General Ledger Accounting using the tile Perform Balance Carryforward.

For the balance carryforward in Asset Accounting, there are the following changes:

● Until now, the new fiscal year opened at the start of processing, that is, before the processing of the asset-related data. Now the new fiscal year is opened as soon as the system has processed all assets. Therefore, it is particularly important that you perform the balance carryforward in time.The new fiscal year is opened even if incorrect values were calculated for the assets in the new fiscal year. If incorrect carryforward data exists, execute the balance carryforward again (repeat run).

● When the balance is carried forward, the system no longer processes only active fixed assets. For consistency reasons, the system now also processes deactivated assets. You can see the deactivation date, as previously, in the master record of the asset.

Additional Details

Following features were included in the Run Advanced Compliance Reports app in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1802 release:

● SchedulingSAP S/4HANA for advanced compliance reporting allows you to schedule the report run generation based on your requirements. You can choose to generate the report run immediately, or schedule the runs for a later point in time. You can also cancel the reports runs that are in-process. The following scheduling options are available in advanced compliance reporting:○ Immediately (Short Runs): This option allows you to execute your report runs immediately. This option

should ideally be used in scenarios, where you expect the report generation process to be complete in less than the timeout interval, say, for example three minutes. You may get a timeout message, if the report generation takes longer than the timeout interval. .

○ Immediately (Long Runs): This option should be used for relatively complex report generation processes that may require longer execution time. For example, you should choose this option, if a report generation is expected to take longer than the timeout interval.

○ Schedule Later: Allows you to schedule your report runs for a specific date and time. You can schedule your report runs in different time zones.

● Reporting ActivitiesReporting activities are steps that need to be performed to complete the end-to-end compliance reporting process. In the Run Advanced Compliance Reports app, you can view and process the activities that are relevant for your compliance reporting scenario.Reporting activities can be of type report generation and non-report generation. When you process activities of type report generation, you can generate the legal documents, and submit them to the government. For non-report generation activities, you can navigate to the configured Fiori applications. You can track the progress of activities in the application home screen. In the activities screen, you can:○ You can manually set the status of activities to in-process or completed.○ You can skip an activity execution.○ You can enter comments for individual activities.

Note that, you can see the activities screen only if your reporting task contains both report generation, and non-report generation activities.

Product Feature is Changed

Country Dependency Valid for all countries

Application Component FIN-LOC-SRF-DEF

Availability SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1802

Additional Details

Following features were included in the Define Advanced Compliance Reports app in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1802 release:

● Reporting ActivitiesIn the Define Advanced Compliance Reports app, you can create new reporting activities using the Reporting Activities tab. Reporting activities are steps that need to be performed to complete end-to-end compliance reporting process. Reporting activities are reusable entities that can be assigned to multiple report categories. Reporting activities can be of type - Report Definition, or SAP Fiori Application.To add a reporting activity of type Fiori Application, you need to provide the Semantic Object and Action for the app. To find out the app's Semantic Object and Action, see the SAP Fiori apps reference library. You can enter the parameters required to process the activity. While creating a report category, you can assign the reporting activities - report definitions or SAP Fiori Applications to the category. While assigning you can edit the parameter values. You can set the sequence in which the activities should be processed in the Run Advanced Compliance Reports app.

NoteWe recommend that you only add activities that are relevant to your reporting process.

● Document SplittingSome compliance reporting scenarios require you to split the output documents before you can send them to the tax authorities. The split can be based on number of records, or some attributes like asset type. You can now enable document splitting by specifying a query in the Define Advanced Compliance Reports app that splits the output document into the required number of files.For example, Columbia DIAN reporting is one of the use cases where document splitting helps ensure alignment with the compliance rules. As per the regulations, the generated documents for Columbia DIAN reporting must not exceed 5000 records. So, if the generated document exceeds 5000 records, you can create and enter a query that provides an output to split the document into smaller documents with a maximum of 5000 records each.

Balance Sheet Recognition

The date of the balance sheet recognition is the due date of the hedging instrument minus the payment term. A specific reclassification algorithm exists for the hedging reserve in this case.

The following settings can be made:

● 0 - NoneThe exposure is not recognized in the balance sheet during the term of the hedging instrument. So no reclassification takes place on the balance sheet recognition date.

What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1802Finance P U B L I C 51

The hedging reserve and cost of hedging reserve amounts accumulated between designation date and dedesignation date are reclassified on the end date of the exposure subitem.

● 1 - Immediate Reclassification at Balance Sheet Recognition DateThe hedging reserve and cost of hedging reserve amounts are immediately reclassified to the P/L on the balance sheet recognition date.

● 2 - Reclassification at the End Date of the Exposure SubitemIf this value has been maintained, the calculated classification amounts between designation date and balance sheet recognition date are frozen until the end date of the exposure subitem.

Effects on Existing Data

The Display Treasury Position Values app was enhanced to support the reporting functionalities for the Exposure Item product group.

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 period 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.

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:

What's New in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1802Professional Services P U B L I C 127

● 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 using and displaying 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.

SAP strongly recommends that you switch to the flexible workflow for purchase requisitions as soon as possible. As of SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1808, the Settings for Release Strategy and Settings for Release Strategy Classes apps will no longer be supported.

5.6.13 Manage Workflows for Service Entry Sheets - Lean Services

With this feature, you can use the flexible workflow for service entry sheets, enabling you to define your own approval process. The flexible workflow allows you to use either the automatic, one-step, or even multi-step approval. The app also provides several options for determining the approver, such as the assignment of an approver by using a role, but you can also assign specific users or even teams as approvers.

When you add new workflows, you can specify the following:

● You can define start preconditions for a new workflow, for example the workflow is started if the total net amount of the service entry sheet is greater than EUR 10.000.

● For each approval step, you can define separate preconditions, for example: Account assignment category 'Cost Center' is used.

● Accordingly, you can assign a recipient to each step, for example by using the role Person Responsible for Cost Center, or you can assign a specific user as the approver.

If you have created several workflows, you can define the order in which their start conditions are checked. As soon as the start conditions for a workflow are met, this workflow is used.

RecommendationSAP delivers the workflow Automatic Release of Service Entry Sheet as a fallback option. By default, this workflow is activated.

We recommend to define this workflow as the last one in the order. So, it is started if none of the other workflows applies. You can also configure your own workflow that is to be used as a fallback option.

You can activate and deactivate workflows, and you can copy existing ones and modify them according to your requirements. If a workflow is no longer required, you can delete it.

11.16.1.2 Deletion of Personal Data in Zero Tax Declaration

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 period 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.

This feature enables you to archive the zero tax documents so that you can retrieve the history data.

12.1 Implementation: Configure Your Solution

With this feature, you can adapt the pre-configured SAP Best Practices solutions via Self-Service Configuration User Interfaces (SSC UIs). The SSC UIs inside the Configure Your Solution app have been grouped in configuration items. Each item is assigned to a lead application area, for example, Sales. It shows a set of related SSC UIs (configuration steps) for this application area in a specified sequence. You can see the status of a configuration item or step (Open or Confirmed), whether a configuration step is mandatory to be completed, if it is country-dependent and whether the settings must be repeated in the production system.

In addition, the app offers different filter criteria to find configuration steps, access assigned documentation, and add own notes to individual configuration steps. All SSC UIs have unique IDs to enable easy referencing.
