In this step, you define the necessary Flow types for your product types.

A flow type must be defined for all possible flows in a transaction so that they can later be assigned.

Examples

To your flow types, you assign

  • a classification,
  • flow category and
  • calculation category.

The classification divides the flow types according to business criteria. The flow category allows the system to interpret your settings, the calculation category determines the representation in the cash flow.

Alongside the settings which determine whether the flows are to be updated in Cash management and FI (i.e they are cash forecast and posting relevant), this step allows you to consider data for valuation, accruals/deferrals and display in the drilldown reporting tool. Furthermore, you establish whether payment requests and individual payments should be possible for certain flows.

  • Flow types can be used in drilldown reporting. In the drilldown reporting tool, you can choose a display in your reports which subdivides the position and income relevant amounts separately. In order to control which flow is considered in which amount, you must make the choice here.
  • Flow types that you mark as valuation relevant are considered in the valuation run. Flow types marked as accrual/deferral relevant are used in accrual/deferral and are automatically included in the step Money market -> Functions -> Define accrual/deferral to determine the accrual/deferral procedures and methods.

  • Via payment requests, you can initiate payments via an enhanced payment program. For this, payment details must be maintained correspondingly in the transaction. For individual payments, you determine whether this flow may be settled together with others or whether they must be processed individually.
    Here you must note that for payment requests, optional conditions are involved whereas for individual payments, required conditions are involved. This means that if the indicator is set for the payment request, then a payment request CAN be generated. However, the indicator for the individual payment means that an individual payment MUST take place.

Activities

  1. Create a new flow type via New entries, by specifying an alphanumeric key and a name.
  2. Choose a classification and a category. According to which classification you have chosen, the system proposes permitted categories. The calculation category is automatically specified by the system.
  3. Set the Cash forecast-relevant indicator if you require an update in Cash management and the Posting-relevant indicator if flows are to be passed on to FI.
  4. Establish whether the flow is to be considered in your drilldown reports and if so, whether it should be used for position-relevant or income-relevant amounts.
  5. For flows that are the basis for valuation, set the Valuation-relevant indicator, for flows that are to be accrued, set the accrual/deferral-relevant indicator.
  6. In order to generate payment requests and individual payments for this flow, set the corresponding indicator here for withdrawal and addition.
  7. Save your entries.
