Creating US GAAP accounting system in Bank Analyzer 8.0

[Former Member]

Dear Members,

I am trying to create a USGAAP accounting system in Bank Analyzer AFI  for a client demo. I did configure most of it exactly lik S_IAS.  but i am running into issue when i configure the RDL/result view area. I have a result type, RDA configured and assigned to the accounting system.

PEBT successfully derive the Finanical position objects, financial statement entities, GL derivation and fails at writing the entries into RDL. Error is 'Field is missing in the structure'. My assumption is that there is no result view created for USGAAP.  Not able to create result view manually.

My question to the experts is, Is it possible to create a local gaap manually in the system? Is there a business content available for US GAAP?

Accounting principle wise IFRS and USGAAP don't have lot of difference but i still need to show different accounting systems in BA.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Srini,

Did you define number ranges for RDL posting documents and the number ranges for GL posting documents? 

Thanks,

Mo

Dear MG,

I configured everything from scratch manually.  It require quite a bit of configuration. Below are some of the main steps. If you have a sound knowledge on assignment of which BT type, Item types are assigned to the external BTs and Internal BTs during accounting process and their key figures then derivation of Key figures and GL Derivation are easier.

I can run the simple loan scenario using USGAAP end to end.

My scenario is

1. Disbursement of a mortgage loan with contractual cash flow.

2. Partial Repayment

3. P&I

4. KDV for 3 months.

Config steps.

1. US Legal Entity

2. Define accounting standard

3. Assign period & currency & market data area

4. Create a entry in global valuation environment for Accounting system. (Using EIR method - Amortized cost)

5. Create a FPO entries

6. FPO entities

7. Create separate result area

8. Create separate result view and result types and data structures

9. RDL number ranges

10. Generate structure

11. Start generation

12. Create GL Connector number ranges entry

13. Processing internal business transaction for update secondary and KDV configs
14, Derive Key Figures for USGAAP

15. GL Derivation

Above are the major steps. I might be missing some steps. But system works as expected for my test scenario.

Cheers,

Hey Mo,

I have done all the config and derivation that i am aware of to make the Local GAAP work. I am creating a simple checking account FT and BT with deposit transaction.

Error is

Assignment of component /BA1/C55MCADCA structure of component data to field symbol MCADCA is failed.  This is indicator MCA/DCA character and automatically derived.

I have enclosed the error log as a picture.

Is this problem resolved? Have you tried to include the MCA/DCA indicator in the result type ? As  the error text says , the MCA/DCA indicator is set programatically .

Hi Srini,

I'm basically tryinng to do the same thing as you but am stuck earlier in customizing.

Did you define a new "Accounting Standard" in IMG (SDL ... Setting for Attributes) or did you use e.g. the existing IAS entry to define your accounting system?

Of course any further input would be helpful, too ... 😉

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Manfred
