Unit 1 : SAP FSCM Financial Supply Chain Management

Definition
Financial Supply Chain Management is designed to optimize the financial supply chain with the aim of
maximizing and retaining long-term profits.
Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) is therefore an integrated approach to increasing the
transparency, control, and supervision of all processes linked to the flow of capital, the result of which is
(for example) a reduction of working capital, an increase in cash flow projection, and a reduction of
process costs.

SAP Financial Supply Chain Management as part of mySAP ERP consists of different FSCM components,
which can be used to optimize the financial supply chain either independently of one another or in
combination with one another.

1.4 Define Formula

Using the formula definition for the score calculations you define the value areas for the score. You
can define these as required - both the form (numerical or alphanumerical) and range. If you use
numerical score values, make sure that the formula result only outputs whole numbers for the
score.
To define the formulas, use the SAP Formula Editor. In SAP Credit Management, the functions of the
formula editor have been enhanced. For more information about the additional functions, click
here.
In addition to some attributes of the business partner (for example, region, date of birth), you can
use additional fields in the formula editor. These are as follows for the formulas for calculating the
credit limit:
1. Credit Segment
2. Currency
3. Score
