Out of the last 18 years as an information technology professional, I've been implementing SAP's FI/CO solution for the last 15. As Assistant Vice President of MIS for CSI Leasing, I'm responsible for implementing SAP's Leasing Solution globally. Don't let the title fool you. This is s S-M-A-L-L IT shop and my hands are into everything from contract negotiation and PMO to configuration and the occassional ABAP.

Mastering Value Ids in SAP Leasing Solution’s Lease Accounting Engine
Do you want the SAP Leasing Solution to calculate the Present Value of the rental stream so that you can perform the 90% classification test for operating or capital leases? Do you want to determine the implicit rate based on the stream of cash flows in order to amortize unearned income? Do you need to assess the leased assets from CRM to assign the apporpriate asset class? If you utilize SAP Leasing, you want to do all these and more, but you'll need Value Ids to make it happen. May. 26, 2008

Integrating SAP Alerts Management with SAP Leasing
Based on our particular design, it was helpful to use SAP Alerts Management to notify MIS resources of errors in both CRM Leasing Contracts as well as when those contracts error out in FI-LAE. While the CRM Action Definitions provide a configurable way to trigger alerts, FI-LAE does not. Find out how an implicit enhancement was used to raise SAP Alerts. May. 18, 2008

User Exits in FI-LAE Substitutions for SAP Leasing Solution
The FI-LAE (Leasing Accounting Engine) is a fascinating module to support the SAP Leasing Solution (as well as some others like Real Estate). It is very powerful and can be a very flexible tool if you understand where you can exploit areas of amending functionality with ABAP. In this case, I'll demonstrate how you can use familiar tools like FI Substitution and user exists to fill in values for FI-LAE Value Ids. May. 13, 2008

Finding where FI-LAE ValueIds are Used in Customizing for SAP Leasing Solution
This is a very short blog...a quick item that I discovered today and to my knowledge is not expressly available within an IMG menu path, FILAHELP or FILASYST. Feel free to enlighten me if I'm wrong; however. Have you ever wanted to know all the places a value id is referenced in the FI-LAE configuration / customizing tables? May. 13, 2008
