SAP Note 16713 - Liquidity forecast: displaying line items

Symptom:

You want to branch from the liquidity forecast to the FI line items.

Reason and Prerequisites

The relevant FI line items must be displayed for the displayed total.

Solution
Valid for Releases up to and including 4.6C:

It is not possible to branch to the FI line items, instead the system branches to the accounts receivable information system or the accounts payable information system. Such a display is possible for the cash position since the data is updated under the G/L account number. However, for the liquidity forecast the data is not updated under the customer or vendor number, but under planning groups, for example 'A1' for domestic vendors. Such a group can therefore contain many customers or vendors and the system would have to display a large number of items from different accounts. However, the liquidity forecast does not know which accounts, it knows only the planning group .
You can use report RFFDEP00 to determine which documents are hidden behind the displayed total.
The correction instructions that are defined in this note are not relevant.

Valid as of Release R/3 Enterprise:
It is possible to branch to FI line items. However, for performance reasons, you must not call this function for columns in which there are cumulated values, which means many open items would have to be selected and displayed. (Then it is better to use the above mentioned report RFFDEP00 .)
To enable this function, the open items are included in the new FDFIEP table. Help report ZFFDFIEP, which is attached to this note, makes it possible to fill and check this table. Of course, if you create or change documents in FI, the table is also updated. After the release upgrade to R/3 Enterprise, you can use the help report to update the table, that is to say include all open customer and vendor items. For this purpose, you must set the parameter 'REBUILD' during the report. Using parameter 'CHECK' you can then check from time to time whether all open items in the table are correct or whether you require a reconstruction. Additional accruals/deferrals 'S_BUKRS' (for company codes) and 'S_BELNR' (for FI document numbers) are available but are not usually required.
For example, it is useful to reconstruct the FDFIEP table if the system displays error message E031(FP) 'Parked document & & & does not exist' during the drill down in the liquidity forecast.
This may happen if you called a transaction in FI that could not update the FDFIEP table correctly, for example, if you called transaction FBV4 (Change Parked Document (Header)) to change the fiscal year in a parked document.
