flow type overlap

we define commodity forward product type : 910, tranaction type: buy, under FTR_edit,

"CF flow type" tab, I find two flow type Y017(outgoing payment) posting relevant and Y010(buy forward) , CM, posting relevant

payment flow type tab: Y005, Y011

other flows tab: Y017

Does it mean CM means cash flow related? if this is the case, Y010 should be under "CF flow type": tab, but Y017 is not CM relevant, why it appear in "CF flow type" tab?

Y017 appear both in "CF flow type" tab and "other flows" tab, how is other flows in FTR_EDIT defined?

in SPRO, I have assigned Y003, Y005, Y006, Y011, Y017, Y010 to product type 910 and transaction type buy, why some is not listed in FTR_EDIT?

>> Does it mean CM means cash flow related?


A.: indeed, it means if a selected flow is to be transferred to Cash Management (known as the transaction FF7A) or not.


every Flow type is defined (see IMG -> ... TRM-> Transaction Manager -> MM/ FX/ Securities/ etc. -> Transaction Management -> Flow Types -> Define Flow Types) if it is relevant:

  • to Cash management;
  • to Posting;
  • to Position;
  • to P/L;
  • to Valuation;
  • for Accrual/ Deferral.

this definition depends on the nature of a chosen flow - see the description on Flow type in Transaction Manager Terminology - General Information about the Transaction Manager - SAP Library


>> but Y017 is not CM relevant, why it appear in "CF flow type" tab?

A.: I believe you mean the tab 'Cash Flow'. Certain flow types could be not relevant to Posting and Payment at all, though still visible in the tab 'Cash Flow', as their are part of deal structure, e.g. Nominal Amount Increase in case of Interest rate Swap - this is purely Notional amount, though it is used represent in the tab 'Cash Flow', as this is the base for calculation of interests.

>> in SPRO, I have assigned Y003, Y005, Y006, Y011, Y017, Y010 to product type 910 and transaction type buy, why some is not listed in FTR_EDIT?

A.: some of Flow types might be optional, e.g. the ones with Flow Category - '90 - Other Flow/ condition'. In this case you should capture these in the tab 'Other flows'.

General remark: I would assume, you are using instruments, provided by RDS initiative - please check provided documentation for the setup and meaning of these flows.

Hi Experts,

I 'm looking at the classification of flow type, as I mentioned earlier, other flows tab: Y017, but both my flow type Y005 and Y007 both flow category is 90(other flows), why only Y017 is in the other flow tab when treasury deal is created?

secondarily, my cash flow tab in  treasury deal display includes Y017 and Y010, in the flow type configuration, both choose posting relevant, but Y011 also choose posting relevant in the flow type definition, why it not appear in " cash flow" tab in treasury deal display?
