“Financial Supply Chain parallels the physical or materials supply chain and represents all transaction activities related to the flow of cash from the customer’s initial order through reconciliation and payment to the seller.” (Killen & Associates, Inc., 2000)
“
”“The Financial Value Chain (is) a range of B-to-B trade-related intra- and inter-company financial transaction-based functions and processes. They begin before buyers and suppliers establish contact and proceed beyond the settlement process.”
(Aberdeen Group, 2001)

Financial Supply Chain Management – Definition
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 6
The logistical supply chain has been optimized
Financial processes have not been affected by this optimization
Considerable potential for optimization
Simultaneous engineering, precise timing of deliveries (Just in Time)
For example:
Payment, Invoice Processing
For example:
Financial Supply Chain Management – Definition
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 7
Do you have... High DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) High number of paper invoices High cost of invoicing and reconciliation (resources, time, etc.) High percentage of disputed invoices High number of days to reconcile a disputed invoice Large amount of uncollectible receivables Processes and systems not integrated with business partners Difficulty in predicting cash flow
Please
Investigate!
Is Your Financial Supply Chain inefficient?

*Source: www.cfo.com
Currently, there is no clarity in the interaction between buyers and sellers at the accounts receivable/payable level. Sellers finance their buyers about 90 percent of the time.*
There is considerable potential for optimization for all business partners.
There is plenty of room for improvements that will benefit both sides.
FSCM is the way to improve interaction with business partners.
Business Drivers for FSCM
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 9
A typical $1 billion company can save more than $7 million annually
Reduce working capital and float
Through process efficiencies, automated reconciliation, and streamlined dispute management, sell-side firms can eliminate 75% of supply chain transaction costs
Improve billing and payment processes
Efficient FSCM reduces the likelihood of cash flow surprises and maximizes returns on cash
Make more accurate cash management forecasts

Market Requirements and Motivation (I)
Industries with a large customer base and a correspondingly high volume of documents to post (such as insurance or telecommunications companies) are looking for an accounts receivable and payable component that can manage and process all business transactions within defined time restrictions.
With the focus on the integration of industry-specific processes and system architecture, system functions that will support seamless integration of customer-specific processes and data are required.
Accounting components must address the new requirements for system openness, flexibility, and customer orientation.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 25
Market Requirements and Motivation (II)
To meet the market requirements for a sustainable, flexible, and powerful accounts receivable and payable component, the following basic aspects have to be considered in today's system development:
Mass data processing Reduction of memory space for storing open and cleared items Performance of data change functions Performance of retrieval functions Fast data input Acceleration of all critical activities such as posting, payments, and returns processing Automation of all transactions as far as possible
Flexibility and system openness Flexible input format Business process enhancements and seamless integration of customer-specific data
without modification Separation of user interface, checks, data storage

Overview of FI-CA (I)
Financial Contract Accounts and Receivable SAP FI-CA is the response to market requirements for receivables
management for mass data processing industries and for high system integration.
FI-CA covers all standard accounts receivable and payable functions. Although FI-CA provides new functions, process enhancements for account receivable management, and a high degree of flexibility in functions, it does not replace the SAP classical application FI-AR.
FI-CA represents an alternative subledger for industries with Large volume of documents to process Large volume of business partners Industry- or customer-specific business processes that need to be
seamlessly integrated into the customers' system architecture
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 28
Overview of FI-CA (II)
Availability of FI-CA Previously, FI-CA was only available in the following SAP industry
solutions: IS-Telecommunications IS-Utilities IS-Media IS-Public Sector IS-Insurance
The component was not available for customers outside of these industries.
Now FI-CA is also available as an industry-neutral version (availability: Q3 2002)

Key Functions in Business Transactions (Overview)
Posting and Documents
Payments
Returns
Dunning
Installment Plans
Deferral
Write-Offs
Submission to External Collection Agencies
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 39
Documents and Posting (I)
Document Represents a business transaction that results in the update in
subledger and general ledger accounting The business view of a document shows
Document header Document items relevant for subledger accounting (open item) Document items relevant for general ledger accounting
Specific Features Posting
Documents are automatically imported from an operational SAP or non- SAP System
Documents can be entered and posted manually
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 40
Documents and Posting (II)
Cross-date posting Documents can be posted for several dates. (Receivables with recurring
dates, such as instalment plans)
Cross-company code posting The company code is recorded separately for each line item, and not in
the document header. This enables the user to enter items for several company codes in one
document, so that a cross-company code document can be posted.
Statistical items Reflect a receivable or payable in the contract account that should initially
not be visible in the general ledger Do not contribute to the balance of the document Do not result in an update in the general ledger Used, for example, for:
Deduction and down payment requests Statistical outstanding charges Installment plans
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 41
Documents and Posting (III)
Mass changesThe following data can be changed for several line items at once
Payment data Dunning data Due date data Locks
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 42
Payments (I)
Purpose To create and process incoming payments
Specific Features
Payment lots Groups of payments that are to be processed together Lots are created by entering the data from incoming checks or bank
transfers, either manually or using programs for fast input. Using an extensive assignment algorithm (clearing control), the system
processes the payment lots and assigns the payment to the related open item.
Overpayments can be posted as payments on account; underpayments are posted as partial payments.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 43
Payments (II)
Clarification account Payments requiring clarification are posted to separate interim accounts
and must be processed manually. A repayment can be initiated for payments which cannot be assigned to
an open item.
Payment program Enables the creation of outgoing and incoming payments Determines the open items to be paid according to the selection criteria
entered for the payment run, and according to the due date of the open items
Selects the payment methods and the appropriate bank Posts the payment document and clears the open items or creates
payment orders. Posting and clearing take place as soon as the order is confirmed with the bank statement.

creditworthiness. The charges and interest can be posted either statistically or to the
general ledger.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 47
Dunning history Dunning-relevant data for each item is recorded in a dunning history. No dunning information is stored in the item. The dunning history is referred to when determining the dunning level of
an item. The dunning history can be used at any time to provide information about
the individual dunning activities.
Dunning run reversal A dunning run can be reversed completely. The system reverses either the whole run or the items that were not
successfully posted and notes the relevant entries as being reversed in the dunning history.
Additionally, the system determines and resets the charges and interest posted during the dunning activity run and resets the creditworthiness for the customer in question.
Dunning (II)
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 48
Dunning (III)
Dunning run for installment plans Alternative dunning run can be processed for instalment plans Automatic deactivation of an instalment plan when a certain dunning level

SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 49
Deferral
Purpose To defer payment for business partners who cannot keep up their
payment obligations
Specific Features in FI-CA Deferral date
The deferral date is noted in the open item in addition to the due date. No dunning notices are sent and no payments are collected during the
agreed deferral period. Once the deferral date has passed without payment being made, the open
item is dunned with the original due date and bank collection is executed again.
Deferral history Deferral history is kept in the document
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 50
Installment Plan (I)
Purpose To arrange payment by installments for business partners who cannot keep up
their payment obligations

The installments are posted statistically in FI-CA and are cleared when payments are made. With every installment cleared, an corresponding part of the original receivables is cleared as well.
The individual installment is included in the dunning and payment run.
Installment plan set up Individual installments and their due dates are specified in the installment plan. Charges can be levied for an installment plan. The document number of the installment plan is recorded in the original receivables,
which ensures that there is a link between the original receivable and the installment plan.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 51
Installment Plan (II)
Interest calculation Interest can be calculated on the installment plan.
Instalment plan processing Installments plan can be changed manually. Due dates and the amount of installments can be changed. New installments can be added to an active installment plan. The sum of the instalments in an installment plan must always be equal to
the sum of the original receivables entered in the installment plan.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 52
Installment Plan (III)
Deactivating an instalment plan The instalment plan can be deactivated manually. The original receivable becomes active again and the link between the
original receivable and the installment plan is deleted. A deactivated instalment plan cannot be reactivated, and no further
payments can be assigned to the installment plan.
Instalment plan history The history is updated automatically for every installment plan. Can be used to determine the source items on which an installment plan
is based
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 53
Write-Off (I)

Additionally, rules that specify how the tax adjustment should be made are defined in Customizing
Check rules Check rules determine whether and which open items can be written off. The rules are defined with the help of a function module and allow the
implementation of customer-specific requirements.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 54
Write-Off (II)
Reverse write-off Write-off documents can be reversed, meaning that the receivables or
payables become open again.
Parallelization Write-off activities can be processed in a mass run. Documents to be written off can be selected according to various
parameters. A simulation run can be executed before the update run for monitoring
purposes.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 55
Submission to External Collection Agencies
Purpose Release and submission of receivables to external collection
agencies as well as management of the submitted receivables
Specific Features in FI-CA

SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 59
FI-CA and General Ledger Transaction figures are not updated automatically in the general
ledger when postings are executed in FI-CA. Instead, the data is summarized and transferred to the general ledger periodically for reasons
of system performance and to limit the volume of documents in the general ledger
FI-CA documents are grouped automatically and posting totals are recorded for each group. These are later transferred to the general ledger.
Posting and reconciliation programs are available to transfer the data to FI-GL
General Ledger Accounting can be managed in the same R/3 System as FI-CA or in separate one.
If General Ledger Accounting is managed separately, the data can be transferred by using ALE methods.
Integration: General Ledger Accounting
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 60
Integration: Cash Management and Controlling
FI-CA and Cash Management FI-CA updates the Cash Management component immediately when
a posting is made. The Cash Management liquidity forecast and cash position are
always up-to-date.
FI-CA and Controlling Overhead Cost Controlling is updated automatically during the
general ledger update.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 61
Integration: Sales and Distribution
FI-CA and Sales and Distribution As part of the integration of FI-CA, the industry solutions Utilities (IS-
U), Telecommunications (IS-T), and Public Sector (IS-PS-A) can transfer bills from Sales and Distribution to FI-CA instead of to FI-AR.
FI-CA and SAP Billing Engine The output data from the SAP Billing Engine can be posted to FI-AR
or to FI-CA. FI-CA can directly interface with the CRM Billing Engine (there is a
direct business partner-to-business partner connection in the RW-Interface; it is not necessary to use AR)
The Billing Engine will be part of the following mySAP solutionsmySAP Customer Relationship ManagementmySAP Telecommunications IndustrymySAP Media Industry ... more to come ...

It’ s the mySAP Financials catalyst that will set off a whole series of events that will fundamentally change how companies financially collaborate in the future. (…) It is a fundamental building block necessary for the automation of the financial supply chain, in which money and financial information flow hand-in-hand with goods and services.
