1 Organization Structure
The following organizational definitions have been done at VIL.

1.1 Company Code

Definition and Meaning
The company code represents the smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for purposes of external reporting. Generally, a company code is defined to represent a legal entity. The process of external reporting involves recording all relevant transactions and generating all supporting documents required for financial statements (balance sheets, profit and loss statements and so on). All transactions in the financial application are recorded with reference to a company code. It is a four character alphanumeric key and is entered while posting business transactions or creating company code-specific master data like G/L Master Record, Vendor Master Record, for example.

Definitions at VIL
To meet the business requirement, the following company codes are created:

(i) VIL Manufacturing
(ii) VIL Narmada Glass
(iii) VIL Marketing
(iv) VAL
(v) VCL (decision awaited in Steering Committee)

Similar such companies will be defined at a later stage to define the subsidiaries or group companies of Videocon Group.

1.2 Business Area

Definition and Meaning
Business areas are used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes, covering the company's main areas of operation (product lines, branches). All balance sheet items, such as fixed assets, receivables, payables, and material stock, as well as the entire P&L statement can be directly assigned to business areas.

Definitions at VIL
The business area will represent a location, whether a production facility or a branch. This will facilitate branch reporting requirement. The following business areas have been defined for VIL.
Business Area Description
Chittegaon
Noida
Dehradun
Refer Annexure-FI-1 for complete list of business area.



1.3 Chart of Depreciation

Definition and Meaning
The chart of depreciation contains the defined depreciation areas. It is predefined to contain the rules for the evaluation for assets. The company code will be allocated to the chart of depreciation. One company code can be attached to only one chart of depreciation. The chart of depreciation and the chart of accounts are completely independent of one another.




1.4 Depreciation Area

Definition and Meaning
An area showing the valuation of a fixed asset for a particular purpose (for example, for individual financial statements, balance sheets, for tax purposes, or management accounting values).

Definitions at VIL
There will be only three depreciation areas, which are as follows:
(i) Depreciation for accounting
(ii) Depreciation for costing
(iii) Depreciation area for Income tax




2 Master Data

2.1 Asset Classes

Definition and Meaning
Asset classes are the most important means of structuring fixed assets.
Unlimited number of asset classes may be defined in the system. Asset classes are used to structure the assets according to the requirements of the organization. Asset classes apply in all company codes. Examples of Asset classes are Land, Building, Plant and Machinery, etc.

Definitions of Assets Class at VIL

The following asset classes for assets are defined at VIL with the GL Accounts as Mentioned Below. Separate asset classes will be created for local and import where bifurcation is required.

• Goodwill
• Land
• Plant & Machinery
• Building
• Furniture & Fixture
• Patent, Trade Mark & Designs
• Vehicles
• Computers
• Electrical Installation
• Office & Factory Equipment
• E.S.P. A/c
• Furnace
• Capital WIP


2.2 Asset Master

2.2.1 Master Data Maintenance
In order to make it easier for the user to create, maintain and evaluate master data, the varied individual information is structured according to its area of use and the relevant functions in the system. The asset master record consists of two main parts:

General Master Data
This part of the master record contains concrete information about the fixed asset. The following field groups exist:
• General Data (description)
• Inventory (Quantity)
• Posting information (for example, capitalization date)
• Time-dependent assignments (for example, cost center)
• Information for plant maintenance
• Origin Data (Vendor Information)
• Internal Specifications
• Valuation of Net Asset
• Depreciation Areas for managing different asset values under the same asset master record.

Data for Calculating Asset Values
Depreciation terms can be specified in the asset master record for each depreciation area in the chart of depreciation. In order to make these specifications, the master record contains an overview of the depreciation areas. In addition, there is a detailed display available for each depreciation area. If there are depreciation areas that are not needed for a specific asset, it is possible to deactivate these depreciation areas at the asset level.

The following depreciation will be defined in the asset accounting:

(i) Depreciation for accounting
(ii) Depreciation for costing
(iii) Depreciation area for Income tax


Number Assignment
The asset number uniquely identifies a fixed asset. It always consists of the main asset number and the asset sub-number. There are two ways of carrying out number assignment in the system:

• External number assignment
• Internal number assignment

In the case of external number assignment, the user directly assigns the asset number. The system displays only the defined number interval, and issues an error message if a number is already assigned. In the case of internal number assignment, the system automatically assigns consecutive numbers.

In VIL, internal number assignment will be defined for all asset classes ie., the assets will be managed with numbers assigned by the system.



3 Business Process

3.1 Assets Master Maintenance
The Asset Management component is used for managing and supervising fixed assets with the SAP R/3 System. In SAP R/3 Financial Accounting, it serves as a subsidiary ledger to the FI General Ledger, providing detailed information on transactions involving fixed assets. Asset accounting encompasses the entire lifetime of the asset from purchase order or the initial acquisition (possibly managed as an asset under construction) through its retirement.

The Plant Maintenance (PM) component offers functions for the technical management of assets in the form of functional locations and equipment. In other words, the Asset management is tightly integrated with the plant maintenance module of SAP. In VIL, Plant maintenance will separately create an equipment master for asset that is managed in the PM module.


3.1.1 Scope

The functions for handling assets enable you to illustrate and document the handling of fixed assets for accounting purposes.

3.1.2 Expectations / Requirements:

1. Identifying fixed assets cost center wise, profit center wise, & co code wise.
2. Details of assets lying at vendors.
3. Insurance details of each asset.
4. Register of fixed Assets.
5. Details Of WIP Assets


3.1.3 Explanations of Functions and Events

1. Determination of Asset class: Each GL Account in the balance sheet represents asset class for example, plant & machinery, vehicles.
2. Definition of chart of Depreciation, Depreciation area, method of depreciation & key of depreciation for each asset class.
3. Maintenance of Asset Master- This part of the master record contains general information about the fixed asset.
4. The asset number is a sequential number internally assigned by the system.


3.1.4 Business Model
Attached Flow chart.

3.1.5 Changes and its Implications

1. Proper assignment of Asset to cost center & profit Center.
2. Account Determination for each asset will accumulate FI data based on each asset class.
3. Actual date of acquisition has to be mentioned in master data of assets.
4. Maintain the record of Assets, which is transferred across the cost center/profit center.

3.1.6 Description of Improvements

1. Fulfill the Co. law requirement pertaining to the fixed Asset through
System (Provided that all transactions including depreciation is posted in the system).
2. Proper monitoring of Assets will be possible with detailed information.
3. Maintain block wise Assets for Income tax purpose
4. The SAP’s Asset Master feature acts as one umbrella to manage all information related to the asset. The asset master record has the feature of storing the description, physical inventory details, quantity, location, cost center, plant, business area, insurance details. Further in SAP, the depreciation related information will be stored under the same asset master under different depreciation areas.
5. Automatic calculation and posting of depreciation on a monthly basis.
6. Computation of profit/loss on sale of asset.
7. Information system provides list of assets by class, cost center etc.
8. Asset explorer provides details of transactions and planned depreciation values across multiple years in the same screen.


3.1.7 Gaps and Possible Approaches to Bridge the Gaps
None

3.1.8 System Configuration Considerations
None

3.1.9 Data Migration Considerations

The balances of Assets gross value and depreciation of opening assets to be uploaded in SAP for that the individual asset wise detail is required e.g its gross value, accumulated depreciation, cost centre, business area, plant, location etc.

3.1.10 Interface Considerations
None

3.1.11 Authorization and User Roles
Creation and change of asset master
Maintenance of depreciation key


3.2 Acquisition of Assets

3.2.1 Scope

Proper recording of all types of transactions related to fixed assets and proper control over the assets.

3.2.2 Expectations / Requirements:

1. Recording of all assets at its fair value.
2. Capitalizing all expenses incurred until the assets are ready and put to use; like freight, first time insurance, erection charges etc.
3. If any Assets acquired on loan, capturing the interest up to the period of Capitalization.
4. Detail of hypothecated assets.
5. Proper accounting of inventory (in-house produced goods) which are transferred to fixed assets like air conditioners, moulds etc.
6. Acquisition of spares specifically for capital assets being purchased and directly capitalized to an asset or asset under construction at the time of receipt only while in fact it may remain in stores physically therefore for inventory tracking of these spares statistical posting (only quantitative detail) is required. Similarly at the time of issue of these spares later on again a statistical reduction is required.
7. Acquisition of assets with free of cost spares, these spares are required to be maintained as inventory having the same material code regularly purchased with NIL value without affecting the MAP of regularly purchased spares, because these spares have already been capitalized as fixed asset.

3.2.3 Explanations of Functions and Events

1. For purchase of any Asset, concerned Dept. raises the purchase requisition.
2. Accounts dept. creates the asset master.
3. For Purchasing new Assets, PO is raised by two ways –
a) Account Assigned – If PO is Account Assigned, then on the preparation of GRN the Asset is directly capitalized.
b) No Account Assignment – If PO is not Account Assigned then on the preparation of GRN Inventory Asset A/c is debited. Once the Asset is ready to use the Inventory Asset A/c is transferred to the Asset A/c.
If the Asset is excisable, then 50% of excise will be utilized in the year of put to use & the remaining 50% of excise will be utilized in the following year.
1. For the assets, which are not yet installed, an asset master is created as Capital work in Progress. As and when the asset is installed, the balances under WIP asset will be transferred to the final asset, for which an asset master record will be prepared under an appropriate asset class.


3.2.4 Business Model

Attached Flow chart.

3.2.5 Changes and its Implications

1.Purchase Requisition of Fixed Assets must specify the cost center.
2.Internal order in CO module will be used for WIP Assets.

3.2.6 Description of Improvements

1. Manage the history of Assets from their origin to their disposal/scrapping.
2. Proper capitalisation of all the incidental expenses till the time of capitalisation.
3. Cost centre wise Assets detail will be available.
4. Capitalisation of asset can be done through AUC (Asset under construction) wherever relevant.
5. From AUC part capitalisation is possible with the balance written off as expense in a cost centre.
6. Revaluation of asset is possible as well as unplanned depreciation on assets that are devalued.


3.2.7 Gaps and Possible Approaches to Bridge the Gaps
None

3.2.8 System Configuration Considerations
None since the Asset Accounting module will be on the same R/3 system server.

3.2.9 Data Migration Considerations
The balances of Assets gross value and depreciation of opening assets to be uploaded in SAP for that the individual asset wise detail is required e.g its gross value, accumulated depreciation, cost centre, business area, plant, location etc.

3.2.10 Interface Considerations
None

3.2.11 Authorization and User Roles
Asset acquisition
Asset capitalisation




3.3 Retirement of Assets

3.3.1 Scope
Fixed asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio.

3.3.2 Expectations / Requirements:

1. Calculate the profit/loss on sale of assets.
2. Proper accounting of accumulated depreciation of the asset sold.
3. Inter business area, profit center transfer should be taken care.


3.3.3 Explanations of Functions and Events

1. Retirement with Revenue- In this case first post the revenue to customer from sale of assets & then the asset retirement. The gains or losses realized were calculated automatically and posted to the accounts defined in customizing.
2. Retirement due to scrapping- When an asset is retired without revenue, the system generates a loss for asset retirement without revenue equal to the retired. Net book value instead of the revenue and gain/loss posting.
3. In case of assets given to dealers and employees loss/profit on retirement or transfer should be separately accounted.
4. In case of transfer or retirement of asset during the month system should calculate depreciation up to the date of transfer or retirement.


3.3.4 Business Model
Attached Flow chart.

3.3.5 Changes and its Implications

Present at VIL only the excise invoice at the time of sale of asset is being created while there is no accounting effect comes on the block of asset, as well as no entry of Profit/ loss on sale of asset has made in books of accounts.

Presently VIL is using depreciation run at year-end to move to next fiscal year while there is no depreciation booked monthly. SAP recommends running and booking the depreciation monthly. If the depreciation is not run monthly it does not show the accurate figure of assets value and it will not calculate the profit and loss on sale of asset.

3.3.6 Description of Improvements

1. Arriving at the profit/loss as & when the sale of asset is done.
2. Disposal detail maintained at the asset register.
3. Even though the asset is scrapped or retired historical information
of the asset will continue to be available in the system.
4. Keep track of subsequent revenue or cost relating to asset after retirement.

3.3.7 Gaps and Possible Approaches to Bridge the Gaps
Accounting of gain/loss on sale of asset to dealers/employees will not be possible to be accounted differently from other retirement transactions.


3.3.8 System Configuration Considerations
None

3.3.9 Data Migration Considerations

The balances of Assets gross value and depreciation of opening assets to be uploaded in SAP for that the individual asset wise detail is required e.g its gross value, accumulated depreciation, cost centre, business area, plant, location etc.

3.3.10 Interface Considerations
None

3.3.11 Authorization and User Roles

When we past to expenditure accounts in FI it updates, CO automatically provided. We create expenditure accounts as cost elements.

All expenditure accounts need not be cost elements expenditure accounts like interest, Depreciation, Non-operating expenses -will not be consolidated for costing -they are debatable.


Cost elements creation
Manual Automatic

When we select manual, when expenditure account is created and posted in FI, we want that expenditure to update co-create that expenditure account as CO element. If we do not want to update co-records that expenditure create expenditure account only and not to create as cost element -here we have flexibility. If we choose automatic, when we create an expenditure account automatically cost element will be created. When we post to that expenditure account in FI, automatically CO records will be updated-no flexibility.

UNDER STATUS DESLECT BLOCKED CHECK BOX:

Accounts creation is at end user area, users at the time of posting, they will not check whether account is there as not they create new account and post accounts.

We will have number of duplicate accounts in SAP once we create an account and past transaction-IT can not be deleted

In live environment after up leading accounts - select blocked check box. No body can create any account whether original account or duplicate account. When there is a necessity to create a new account an authorized person say accounts manager deselects the blocked check box, create the account and afterwards select blocked check box.

We have to create the accounts now. We are deselecting the blocked check box.

We have created 1000 accounts
We want to view current assets balance or transaction.
We can not get directly-we have to verify each and every account and add the respective accounts- in this example account no.100001 and 100003

We are preparing balance sheet on liabilities we have items like share capital, Reserves & surplus-We have to verify each and every account and assign to the respective items-it takes so much time to assign accounts.

To get account balances directly or to assign accounts easily SAP has given account groups.

Accounts Current assets (200000-200099)


When we create the accounts, we create within the range. Cash account will be created within the range of 200000-200099."

Equity share capital will be created within the range of 100000-100099.
When we want to see current assets balances-we give current assets or at the time of crating balance sheet for Share capital-we give the range 100000-100099

While crating account groups we take client's balance sheet and crate the groups-after implementation also we wants to see the way he used to get.

WHILE CREATING THE ACCOUNTS GROUPS:

1 Series for liabilities
2.Series for assets
3.Series for income
4.Series for expenditure

We have 1000 accounts the user at the time of posting to expenditure account he need not see all accounts he gives 4 only expenditure accounts will appear.

Afterwards we require liabilities account groups with 1 series –10 account groups.

How many groups we can crate with 1sries . available accounts (1999-1599)=400 accounts. New account groups with 1series we can create 400/100=4 groups .

Retained earnings accounts:
In the year end: P & L account balances transfer to surplus in P & L A/c Reserves & Surplus (100100-100199) Balance Sheet A/c balances –carry forward to next year as opening balance.

This is required in the year end and not during the implementation. SAP has made mandatory this step during the implementation. If the consultant does not do this step, we will have problems in the year end.

Though accounts are not yet created assign on account for retained earnings account purpose. We can specify retained earnings account any account number which is with in range 100100-100199.

Generally we specify the first account i.e.100100 as Retained earnings account and when we start creating the accounts the first account to be created is 100100 surplus in P & L Account.

Field status variant and field status groups

At the time of posting on screen we get around 70 fields. Fields are quality, text (Narration), business area, value date

Debit 70 Filed
Credit 70 Filed
------
140 Filed
====
If we start filling up all the fields it takes so much time to post one document.

SAP has given a facility to make any filed as

1. Suppress 2. Required 3. Optional

1. Suppress: The filed will not be visible on screen a the time of posting.

2. Required: We have to enter values to the field compulsory. The field value will appear with question mark or tick mark-without entering the values we can not go to next screen.

3. Optional: The field will be visible on screen our choice to enter values or not the fields selection is not common to all accounts. It depends on the account what we are using. In case of sales account quantity filed is required. In case of repairs account quantity filed is not required, we have 1000 accounts – we have to create 1000 scenarios. In stead of creation of 1000 scenarios SAP have given field status groups.

Filed status Group Suppress required optional

Repairs A/c General

Equity share capital
Sales A/c materials quantity select
Purchase A/c
Cash A/c Bank Accounts
Bank A/c cost Accouts

1. When we create accounts we have to assign field status group.
2. For filed status group we is field is suspected and which filed is optional.
3. At the time of posting by the user-he gives the account number the screen will appear based on the fields selection to the field status group which is assigned in account number.

TOLERANCE GROUPS:

This is two types
1.GL Accounts 2.Employee

a) Receipts / Payment transactions
b) Mandatory area

Retained area called open item management.

This is used for vendors, customers and balance sheet accounts where clearing is required.

Outstanding expenses A/c
Salaries 500000

Bank 15000 Rent 15000
Wages 100000

If we see the account in the month end or year end-we will have no of credits and no. of debits. We don’t know which item is pending and how much is pending.

As per SAP open item management –At the time of making payment –System will as against which provision we are making the payment. When we specify the payment is being made against rent provision. It clears the transaction.

The advantage is we can see the account in 3 ways.

1) If we select open items payable Eg.Salaries and Wages.
2) If we select cleared items :paid Eg.Rent and bank
3) If we select all items: Payable + paid

The same way we use for vendors and customers and also.

Vendors X A/c
Bank – For 1 100 1 1000
Bank –For 2 200 2 2000
Bank-For3 300 3 3000
Bank for 4 400 4 4000
Bank for 5 500 5 5000

Bill wise out standings we can see for vendor.

We can have tolerances (payment differences). It can be amount tolerance or percentage tolerance or both it can be debit amount or credit amount.

Outstanding expenses A/c
Salaries 500000
Rent 15000

Bank 15000 Wages 100000
Bank 100000 Commission 100005

There is difference of Rs.5 in the account for commission which need not be paid.
We can difference tolerances.

Tolerance
Group Amount percentage
A 100
B 5%

A) We have to assign tolerance group in account –in outstanding expenses A/c we have assigned tolerance group A

B) At the time of making payment system checks
Provision 100005
Payment 100000
Difference 5

If the difference of Rs.5 is within tolerance group amount. i.e.100 system will clear the provision and transfer to sundry balances written off account at time of making payment.

Disadvantages:

1. Tolerance group is given at account level and not at the transaction level.

Outstanding expenses A/c.
Diff to give
Salaries 500000 200

Bank 15000 Rent 15000 15

Wages 100000 500

Bank 100000 Commission 100005 100


2. There is not flexibility amount percentage tolerance group.
A 100
B 5%
C 0

Outstanding Expenses A/c.

Salaries 500000
Bank 15000 Rent 15000
Wages 100000
Bank 100000 Commission 100005

If we give tolerance group A in outstanding expenses account if the difference is less than tolerance group amount and transferring sundry balances written of account automatically.

When we give tolerance group C instead of A in outstanding expenses account.

Outstanding expenses A/c.

Bank 100000 Salaries 500000
Bank 15000 Rent 15000
Bank 100000 Commission 100005
Provision 100005
Payment 100000
-----------
Difference 5
=======
Not payable payable

Transfer 5 Now Rs.100000 as part payment

To sundry balances off a/c and clear the transaction.
This is mandatory area.

Tolerance Group Amount Percentage
A 100
B 5%
Bank C 0

Instead of crating group C - keep the filed blank and give amount zero.

While creating 1000 GL accounts, Vendor accounts and customer accounts.
Keep tolerance group field blank, system expects we have created blank
