Symptom

How to select the item type when defining cash flow statements versions?

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Resolution

Item Type:

  • Opening Balance/Ending Balance/Period Totals
    Applies to the reporting items that taken from G/L account balances. When the Item Type is set as Opening Balance/Ending Balance/ Period Totals, the accounts assignment the invoice accounts and the original accounts in the account configuration column does not work.
  • Debit Transactions / Credit Transactions
    Applies to the reporting items that taken from the document line item level. It means whether you want to get debit transactions or credit transactions on certain cash/bank accounts for the reporting items. The debit transactions here would read all the normal debit postings in accounting document line items, as well as those credit postings with negative posting. The credit transactions would read all the normal credit postings in accounting document line items, as well as those debit postings with negative posting.
    Please note that when you choose Credit Transactions, the amount displayed in the cash flow statement is displayed as an absolute value for the postings and therefore it is shown as a positive number.
  • Only Debit/Credit
    Only applies to item type Opening Balance/Ending Balance/Period Totals, when 'Only Debit' is selected, the reporting item will not show any result when the report item balance is a credit balance. If you select 'Only Credit', the report item does not display any result when the balance of the reporting item is a debit balance.
  • Debit Balance/Credit Balance
    Only applies to item type Period Total, when 'Debit Balance' is selected, the reporting item displays the debit total of the period balance and if 'Credit Balance' is selected, the reporting item shows the credit total of the period balance. If both "Debit Balance" and "Credit Balance" are checked, it is the same effect as they are not selected, the system will get the total period balance for certain accounts assigned.
