Replicate open item and automatically/technically clear in

• Centralized open item management in Central

Finance system

• No Central Finance-specific technique for posting

back to the source systems (project solutions based

on existing scenarios)

Not suitable for central reporting or central processing (since

clearing status not correct)

Centralization of finance operations reporting and central

process orchestration

• A/R and A/P reporting (cross-system view of customer

or vendor account)

• Central dispute management, collections worklist and

credit evaluation scenarios

• Shared services and invoice management scenarios

Similar to existing ALE scenarios, these are customer-

specific scenarios where consistency in certain local

logistics processes must be determined in a case-by-

case analysis

Released with restrictions – what does that mean?

SAP plans to release Central Payments / Central Finance capabilities in S/4HANA OP 1709 with the status “Released with

Restrictions”

• Functional Restrictions

• Tax-related restrictions (VAT and Withholding Tax)

when paying centrally, tax reporting (for VAT and Withholding Tax can only be done in the Central System)

not all reports (and country variants) are supported

We will still use Note 2346233 to limit access / document restrictions and ensure customer accepts limitations

Customer can use productively after they have completely tested all relevant process variants and scenario


1610 Pilot Release Limitations for central payment

scenarios

1709 Improvements for central payment scenarios

Logistics processes in source system that depend on actual clearing

status of invoices in the source system may need to be modified:

with the technical clearing of the documents in the source system,

AP and AR reports in the source system do not indicate the actual

clearing status.

No changes planned in standard Central Finance product.

In implementation projects, ALE scenarios can be built to push

status back to source system (not recommended). Logistics

process can be modified to query Central Finance system.

Payment request (and down payment request) has to be created in

the Central Finance system in order to apply it to the central

payment.

Customer can extend replication to include these items in their

implementation project; standard solution is not included in 1709,

but remains a roadmap topic.

Central handling of SEPA Direct Debit is not automated because

mandates are not replicated and synchronized.

Mandate replication and synchronization supported. If mandate

created in local logistics process, it will be replicated to central

system; if mandate is created in central system, it could be

replicated back to local in ALE scenario.

Credit card sales for customers Credit Card sales will work if settlement run is triggered from the

local system

One-time-account postings (customer and vendor) One-time vendor / customer postings working

The legacy open items that you have in the source system before

switching to central payment have to be paid and cleared in the

source system.

No change planned

Limitations associated with the Central Payments scenarios

*Always consult SAP Note 2346233 for updated information regarding the functional limitations of centralizing payments.

Enhanced VAT/TAX Configuration Check

(S/4HANA 1709 FPS0)


It is possible to activate an enhanced check

for tax related postings

Activation per combination of

Source System and Source Company Code

With Central Payments this check is

mandatory!

Prerequisite:

SLT real-time replication of source system

customizing (SAP Note 2494127)

Caution:

Central VAT and Withholding Tax reporting is not

possible for all cases -> see documentation!

not all reports (and country variants) are supported

Activate VAT Configuration Check for Company Codes

FI/CO Postings

CO-PA Toolset


Today a replication from costing-based CO-PA in a SAP ERP source system (ECC or S/4) into

(account-based) “Profitability in S/4HANA” in the Central Finance is not supported out-of-the-box.

A standard replication as part of the Central Finance set of enabling capabilities is a planned

roadmap item.

In the interim, with S/4HANA 1709, it is planned to provide for a tool-set such replication as part of a

custom implementation project.

The planned tool-set includes:

• CO-PA mapping tool

• Enhanced replication
