Patent number: 10019763Abstract: A system stores financial accounting data in a Base ledger, together with overlying extension ledger(s). An engine receives both generic financial data, and financial data utilized for specific purposes. Utilizing a mapping table the engine stores in an underlying Base ledger, the generic financial data (e.g., a fixed asset acquisition). The engine stores in overlying extension ledgers, specific financial data (e.g., a linear asset depreciation and/or an declining balance method of asset depreciation) derived from that generic data. This reduces memory footprint by persisting the generic data in one location only. The stored data may be read utilizing dataviews combining data from Base and extension ledgers. A recursive algorithm may evaluate chain(s) of ledgers. Embodiments may be particularly suited to store in the Base ledger generic financial data common to multiple accounting principles (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Georg Dopf, Michael Conrad, Stefan Gauger, Joachim Kenntner, Joachim Liebler, Ruediger Raubeck, Andreas Reccius, Thomas Schachner, Thomas Schneider, Radim Sykora

Patent number: 9286321Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing an automated validity check of transaction data postings. In one implementation, a method is provided that includes entering at least one code for specifying at least one posting to be performed for a transactional data processing operation. The method may also include starting the transactional data processing operation, sending a request to a service component for performing a validity check of the at least one code, buffering one or more posting requests resulting from execution of the transactional data processing operation. Further, the method may include sending, in response to receipt of a first signal indicative of code validity from the service component, the one or more buffered posting requests with the at least one code to a posting component.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Martin Osterloh, Thomas Schachner

Publication number: 20140006233Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a financial accounting view of cost object expense list and a financials view of contract business object.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Inventors: Kathrin Hamburger, Elena Renkewitsch, Andrea Hahn, Michael Hoffmann, Thomas Breitling, Joachim Liebler, Kai-Michael Roesner, Alexander Fuerbach, Thomas Hoffmann, Peter Illg, Jutta Kaemper, Dietmar Kaiser, Enrico Mayer, Thomas Schachner, Michael Schmidt, Martin Walew, Dirk Henrich

Publication number: 20130159149Abstract: Systems and methods to provide integration of partner ERP systems into a host financial system using generic cost objects. In example embodiments, an accounting system having a generic cost object is maintained. A user interface for creating a configured cost object that represents a specialized business item is provided. Data that mirrors the configured cost object is received, which results in a mirror cost object. Accounting operations are performed in the accounting system based on the mirror cost object and a corresponding business control set by replacing the generic cost object with the mirror cost object. Output based on performance of the accounting operations based on the mirror cost object and corresponding business configuration set are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Thomas Schachner, Rudolf Gentner, Ralf Kuehner, Michael Hohendorf, Dirk Henrich
