FM and other ECC master data groups

  • Master data from ECC are the same master data extracted and used

in both, BI Reporting & BI-Integrated Planning

  • FM dimensions are used in budget prep process, including for Grants

budget, and not Grant Sponsor’s dimensions (for e.g. not Sponsor’s fiscal year basis)

  • Key Master data needed for Budget Prep, from ECC-FM:
  • Funds
  • Fund Centers
  • Commitment Items
  • Funded Programs
  • Functional Areas
  • Grants
  • Other ECC master data whenever used (e.g. Cost center), which are

also extracted from ECC, are always mapped to FM dimension equivalents, before Retraction (e.g. Fund Center)

Budget (Planning) data concepts (1)

Plan or Budget Versions

A BP version is used to record budget data at a given point in the budget build or development process. In most cases, Budget versions will ‘look’ identical to the one that preceded it, e.g., version D3 (First Public Hearing) looks like version D5 (Adopted Version). But to accommodate the responsibilities of the various organizations reviewing the budget, each version will hold potentially different data versions as ‘used’ by them in the budget prep process, e.g., version D1 (Budget Office Prep version) data will be different from version D5 (Adopted Budget).

Sample BP Versions

D-1 Department Budget Version (Budget Office prior preparation) D-2 Department Budget Version (Department Up-date & Approval) D-3 Department Budget Version (Budget Office Approval) - First Public Hearing D-4 Department Budget Version (Budget Amendments before 2nd Public Hearing) D-5 Department Budget Version (After 2nd Public Hearing – Adopted Budget)

slide-22
SLIDE 22

28

Budget Year or Plan Year The year for which the budget is being prepared. The Plan/Budget Year is a single number, four digits in length. The Plan Year will actually span

  • ver two calendar years, from 01 July to 30 June, each year.

Example: Budget Year 2010-11 Starts July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011

(same as State’s financial fiscal year)

Discuss: What is the appropriate equivalent terminology for Plan/Budget year at the State? Appropriation Year? Enactment Year?

BP Overview: Planning process and tools (1)

Overview of Process Steps and how these are related to each other:

1) Set up Infocubes with all required Characteristics & Key Figures for data from ECC and other sources; 2) Create Master data, master data Texts & Hierarchies for the Characteristics for the reference data from ECC modules and other sources; 3) Create Info-Providers (Infocubes, ODS, etc) which have the budget data; 4) Create Aggregation Levels - select Characteristics/Key Figures from Infocube in Aggregation levels, to define aggregation level to perform planning; 5) Create Filters - represents the quantity of transaction data, for the operation

  • f planning functions and planning layouts;

6) Create BEx Queries & Web Templates, which facilitate Planning Layouts in BEx & Web; 7) For manual planning, create suitable Planning Layouts for users to enter data 8) At Aggregation Level, create Planning Functions, for e.g. copy, calculate %.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

30

BP Overview: Planning process and tools (2)

Other related planning environment setups include:

a) Set up Security Profiles – for an authorized individual view of Budget data b) Set up BEx Workbooks or Portal layouts/reports – for End-Users c) Set up custom Status & Tracking to control planning process of many users d) Define Data Slices to lock an area of completed data within the planning area against changes (e.g. by Version) Saving of Data: Changes to data and planning objects are automatically stored temporarily, and must be explicitly saved when you end the planning session. Planning Functions & Planning Sequences: After setups are completed and data is entered, execute the Planning Functions, to see the changed Key Figure values. Planning Functions can be arranged as Local/Global Planning Sequences – also run automatically with Process Chains.

Considerations for BP-FM Design: Master Data

  • Based on previous slides, review of few initial considerations

for the Realization phase:

– Need to coordinate BP design with FM, GM, PS & HR on ECC

  • Primarily, the source of actual data is ECC Transactional system
  • Hence, the blueprint decisions for transactional data from SAP ECC 6.0 impacts BP
  • Process challenge for ECC-BP master data maintenance – another level of coordination

– Approach to maintain common Master data between ECC & BI / BP

  • Who, what, when, how – to maintain master data, such as the following:
  • Cost Centers & Fund Centers
  • GL accounts & Commitment Items (Primary Cost Elements are automatically created)
  • FM Derivation Strategies
  • Validations & Substitutions for postings
  • To prepare 2010-11 SAP Budget, need to translate Legacy data to ECC6.0 Master data
  • Cross-walk challenges and mass Budget End-User training of new SAP account codes

Discuss-1 Reference of Project Numbers, from “sun-rise” to “sun-set”:

– Request #: Assign upon “Save” (similar to ECORTS stage) – Schedule #: Review NN-AGY-FYA-Request# format proposed (or LEG session year?) – Process: Manual assignment process, and combinations of projects

Discuss-2 Retraction of Capital Budget, from BI-IP to ECC-FM & PS:

– Details: By Project Number or lump-sum budget at a rolled-up Fund level; and – Timing: Immediately after HB2 or in Stages after monthly Bond meetings – Type: Non-Consumable Budget or Consumable/Non-Consumable Budget

Discuss-3 Need for long term Capital Budget estimates beyond 5 years: 10 or 20 years Discuss-4 Consideration for a Needs database and the carryover of any information. Discuss-5 Design complexity initially versus subsequent development of details.

Considerations for BP-FM Design: Versions

  • Based on previous slides, we need a few initial considerations

for Realization Testing:

– TO-BE Flow diagram for the Budget build process

  • Is the Flow diagram representative of OPB activities during Budget build process
  • What other interim Manual steps, processes or calculations are done by OPB

– No. of Budget Versions to be considered (in this session)

  • Is a cost/benefit analysis possible for retention of the discussed Budget versions?

How frequently do you refer back to the other Budget version data? Are those versions used in any subsequent calculations? Are these data versions useful for future years?

Initial HB2 considerations for DOTD systems in BI

Option-1 E-CORTS entry using Front-end Layouts:

– One-line entry of the Lump-sum for Highway projects; and – Individual project entries

Option-2 Direct entry into HB2 consolidation, using front-end custom Layout Option-3 Build BI interfaces for DOTD system data (i.e. data from LETS, STIP, etc) and and any other system data, used for DOTD capital projects Option-4 Consider replacing and managing of some of DOTD system data (e.g. STIP, LETS, etc.) within BI system

– Budget Partition, etc to be derived from BI system

Option-5 Build BI interfaces for DOTD system data (to meet Budget time-lines) and consider replacing some of DOTD system data within BI system in future.

TO-BE DOTD Highway Program discussion

Discuss-1 Options for Project Number creation:

– Timing: Stage-2 or …… – Dataflow: Project Number data to TRNS.PORT and other Legacy systems

Discuss-2 Retraction of Capital Budget, from BI-IP to ECC-FM & PS:

– Details: By Project Number or lump-sum budget rolled-up at Fund level; and – Timing: Immediately after HB2 or in Stages after monthly Scheduling/Bid meetings – Type: Non-Consumable Budget or Consumable/Non-Consumable Budget

Discuss-3 Need for long term Capital Budget estimates over 4 years (STIP), 5 years, or 7 years (Budget Partition) or any longer term plans Discuss-4 Considerations for an SAP-based Needs database and carryover of any info Discuss-5 DOTD aging system replacement considerations for LETS and other systems

Need analysis for TO-BE Legislative Tracking

  • Tracking of FPC proposed Amendments: The need to track whether FPC

proposed Financial & Technical Amendments were approved, further amended by House/Senate Chambers, or rejected.

  • Need to “undo” some of the Amendments proposed by LEG: Due in part

to the situation/development requirements of the Capital Projects, there are occasional needs to “undo” some of the Amendments proposed by the Legislature. Hence, another reason to track the Amendments throughout the Legislature process.

  • Influence/Provide support to the Legislative process: The tracking of

Amendments allows FPC to be more supportive of the Legislative process, in terms of providing Capital Project specific information on a timely manner for the Legislative decision-making process – i.e. Re-printing of House Bill 2.

  • Overall tracking of House & Senate Amendments: Based on available

information, viz., Excel sheet listing of Amendments from the House Committees and Internet-published information of Senate Amendments, FP&C would like to keep a record of all Amendments related to House Bill 2, for each year, as a general reference for future years. This would enable tracking of LEG approvals in previous Bills, for the same project.

Proposal for TO-BE Legislative Tracking

  • AS-IS:

Details of the Need tails as covered in the previous slide No AS-IS process exists for Capital Outlay Amendment tracking, not in BDS Excel Sheet generated with available information

  • Process:

Submission of information to Legislature by FPC (for consideration) Return of information from Legislature – Approved, Rejected, Amended SAP access for Legislature Analysts

  • System to capture the information:

Primarily, Text-based information (e.g. Technical Amendments) – Outside SAP Dollar-attached Text information – inside SAP BI Need to aggregate the final HB2 Budget (in $), as approved by Legislature

  • Brief details of the Solution: Similar to HB1 Operating Budget process

BSLT code developed for each Agency/Year for tracking HB2 Amendments Requirement to separate Amendments of the House & Senate Committees FRICE-W object captured for Long text requirement Excel info received from House and Internet info from Senate

Leading Practices

  • Increased visibility of budget and cost activity: This will allow OPB,

Agencies, the Legislature to be more cognizant of the Budget, Program and policies.

  • Identify financial and Program results: This leading practice, which is

implemented through account coding structure improvements, places emphasis on program results, and allows those results to be visible in budget preparation decisions.

  • Standardize budgeting and business planning processes for all

components of the State: This allows Agencies & OPB to use the same common

basis of data and processes to prepare/review/approve Budget data at various stages (viz., Agency preparation, OPB Review, Governor Executive Budget, Legislature review and Issue of Appropriation Letters).

  • Use enabling technologies to empower Analysts: Automation of processes

related to data compilation, budget development, review & approval process (viz., covering Agency prep, OPB review, Governor’s Executive Budget, Legislative review and issue of Appropriation Letters).

slide-65
SLIDE 65

  • Budget prep process will change from BRASS/Excel-based processes to the BI-based

Budget Prep system, using Business Explorer and/or Web Tools. There will be the need for Training to all authorized end-users for the Operating and Capital Budget processes.

  • In addition to the above process/tool Training, all Budget End-users need training to be

familiar with the new ECC-based account code structure (e.g. Fund, Grant, Func. Area, etc) sufficiently in advance, to be able to prepare/use the new Budget module.

  • Need for all Departments/Agencies to input ‘detailed budget’ for all Expense & Revenue

accounts in the budget preparation process and submit budgets online to OPB.

  • Master data in all ECC modules will need to be ready, together with multiple Cross-walks

to SAP (from AFS, BRASS, DOTD, ISIS-HR and CORTS/BDS) prior to Budget Go-live. Similarly, sufficient test data will also be needed for DEV and QA environments.

  • After creation of ECC Master data, the ISIS-HR data (Positions, Employee, etc) will need

to be “transformed” (Note: Options being considered) to the new ECC-Finance account code structure, in the HR data extraction process for Salary-based budget preparation.
