New Consolidation Rule Engine

Since August 2025 (release 2508) you benefit from a new rule engine to automate your consolidation postings. This engine is inspired by SAP Financial Consolidation and aims to offer the same level of power and flexibility valued by its users. With release 2602, we continue to enhance the consolidation engine, giving you more flexibility, more automation possibilities, and clearer insight in your group-level postings - including the consolidation of investments. 

Below is an overview of the new capabilities. 

Flexible rules to automate consolidation postings

The enhanced rule engine now supports a broader range of consolidation scenarios, allowing you to define precise and reusable rules for group-level postings.

​These rules can be used to automate:

• Purchase, equity method
• First consolidation
• Subsequent consolidation
• Changes in equity and changes in investments
• Method changes
• Divestiture

You can also apply them to other group postings, such as reclassifications or KPI calculations.

More information: 

Variables, functions and operators to automate complex eliminations

You can now design more sophisticated logic using variables, functions, and operators. This enables complex calculations based on multiple data sources.

Examples include:

• Non-controlling interests
• Direct ownership % (owned shares / issued shares)
• Earning per share
• Profit in inventory elimination using margin rates

Sample formulas:

• SOURCE (Source amounts) / ISSSHA (Nb of issued shares) => Earning per shares 
• 100 * SOURCE_QTY (Source quantity) / ISSSHA_P (Nb of issued shares - partner unit) => Direct ownership %

Enhanced logs for investee unit analysis

The new log capabilities make auditing faster and clearer.

Define your own consolidation methods

You can now create your own consolidation methods using Self Service Configuration. 

Once created:

1. Assign the method to consolidation units in "Manage Group Structure"
2. Use the method in "Group Structure Filters"
3. Build rules specific to your new method in "Manage Rules for Automatic Postings"

Pre-delivered content

​Release 2602 delivers new rule groups and rules to help you accelerate your setup, including:

• Net income calculation (released and reported data)
• Intercompany eliminations
  - Sales
  - Operating income & expenses
  - Financial income & expenses
  - Profit in inventory
  - Dividends
  - Assets & liabilities

OData API to read consolidation selections

​A new OData v4 API allows you to read consolidation selections - reusable sets of master data filtered by items, units, attributes, or hierarchy nodes.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

IFRS 18 was published on April 9, 2024 and will replace IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 aims to enhance the comparability of financial statements across companies. It's effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Year 2026 must be presented as comparative figures.

Key changes:

• Structure of the income statement 
• Management-defined performance measures
• Aggregation and disaggregation
• Cash flow statement

Unchanged requirements in IAS 1 have been transferred to IFRS 18 and other standards.

Pre-delivered content for IFRS 18

To help you comply with this new standard, we deliver pre-defined content for IFRS 18. New cloud customers will receive these compliant configurations by default. ​Existing cloud customers won't receive these updates automatically by default, to safeguard your unique system customizations from being overwritten.

Above is an example of the pre-delivered content, with the update structure of the consolidated Profit or Loss Statement, where IFRS 18 requires:

• Blue: present two new defined subtotals - operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes
• Green: classify income and expenses into operating, investing and financing categories in the statement of profit or loss - plus income taxes and discontinued operations

Balance Validation in Manual Posting

You can run balance validation checks on a draft document that was created by a manual posting in the Post Group Journal Entries or in the Import Group Journal Entries app. 

To do so, you activate the balance validation for the required manual posting tasks in the configuration and assign the balance validation rules to these tasks. If the validation isn't successful, the system blocks the posting. A corresponding error message is displayed, and you can navigate to the balance validation log to view more details.

The system starts the balance validation when you choose Create or Check in the Post Group Journal Entries or in the Import Group Journal Entries app:

• The task is derived from the document type
• If a group journal has extension versions, the system only validates the main version
• If a group journal has multiple consolidation groups (posting level 30), the system only validates the primary consolidation group
• Depending on the result of the validation, a success or error message is displayed, and you can navigate to the balance validation log to view further detail
• If an error is detected, the posting of the group journal is not possible

As an SAP S/4HANA user, you can pay your suppliers with stablecoins. Or receive payments in stablecoins. Key to it is SAP Digital Currency Hub. Here's a process-focused perspective on it.

Poland's tax reporting landscape is evolving, and SAP has introduced new tags in the Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) structures JPK_V7M(3) and JPK_V7K(3) to help businesses stay compliant with the country's electronic invoicingrequirements. 

Understanding the Four New Tags 

In this blog article, we' ll explain what the new tags mean and how to use them, along with examples to make things clearer. 

The new structures JPK_V7M(3) and JPK_V7K(3) of the Polish SAF-T VAT report now include the following tags designed to simplify the reporting process: 

• "NrKSeF": This tag is the KSeF Reference Number, which serves as an identifier for invoices in the National e-Invoice System (KSeF).  

• "OFF": Use this tag for invoices referred to in Article 106nf(1) of the act that don't have a KSeF identification number and haven't been submitted to KSeF.  

• "BFK": This applies to either electronic or paper invoices not categorized as e-invoices by KSeF, for example in cases where it’s not mandatory to issue invoices using the National e-Invoice System.  
• "DI": Represents any proof of transaction other than an invoice issued through the KSeF. This applies to all other cases of documents that will not have a KSeF number, have not been sent to KSeF and can’t be categorized as ‘BFK’ or ‘OFF’.

Examples 

To help companies meet the new standards, let's look at examples of where these tags are applicable. 

The ‘NrKSeF’ Tag 

Use the "NrKSeF" tag when there's a KSeF Reference Number for an invoice. This number identifies the invoice within the National e-Invoice System. For example, if you're processing an invoice registered in KSeF, you should tag it with the appropriate "NrKSeF" number. 

Complete this field if, as of the date of submission of JPK_VAT, the invoice has been assigned a KSeF number. 

The ‘OFF’ Tag 

Apply the "OFF" tag to invoices referred to in Article 106nf(1) of the act that don’t have a KSeF number as of the date of submission of the records.  

This designation applies to invoices issued during the period of malfunction of the National e-Invoice System, according to Art.106nf(1). This designation indicates that, due to the inactivity of this system, the invoice does not have a KSeF identifying number as of the date of submission of the JPK_VAT. 

If an invoice exists in e-Document processing but still lacks a KSeF Reference Number, mark it as "OFF". 

The ‘BFK’ Tag 

The "BFK" tag is for invoices not handled by KSeF, such as paper invoices, vendor invoices for foreign transactions or invoices with document types that are excluded from KSeF. This category also includes invoices from cash registers, invoices from consumers in B2C relations issued outside of KSeF, invoices for financial services using KSeF exemption, etc.  

This tag allows you to indicate transactions that for various legal reasons fall outside of the KSeF.  

If the document is not marked with DI, OFF or KSeF th en it is reported by JPK_V7K(3) and JPK_V7M(3) with status BFK.

The ‘DI’ Tag 

Use the "DI" tag for all other documents that serve as transaction proofs but are not an invoice and do not qualify as ‘OFF’ or ‘BFK’.  

For example, daily reports from cash registers, internal documents, customs documents, or other accounting documents.  

Invoices issued in the offline24 mode must also be tagged with the ‘DI’ tag.  

DI should be also assigned to invoices, which should be registered in KSeF, but due to different reasons cannot be registered. This may happen in the initial period applicable with KSeF, when for various reasons, mainly technological and configuration ones, the taxpayer is unable to register the invoice in KSeF, but will have to forward it to the business partner. 

With SAP Document and Reporting Compliance you can select for which type of transaction DI is relevant. See the example below. 

Why This Matters

These tags help you accurately categorize your transactions, ensuring compliance with Polish tax regulations while reducing reporting errors.  

You can also find detailed information about the changes in the JPK_V7M(3) and JPK_V7K(3) structures in the Regulatory Change Manager. 

For detailed guidance on implementing KSeF requirements in your SAP system, check out the related blog articles. 

• How Official Document Numbering helps to fulfill the Polish KSeF Requirements in S4HANA Public Cloud 

• How you can manage Polish KSeF Requirement in SAP S/⁠4HANA Cloud Private Edition & SAP S/⁠4HANA 

• How to store long Supplier Invoice Reference Numbers in SAP S/4HANA ERP Products 

 Staying updated with the latest legal changes is essential for navigating the ever-evolving taxation landscape. By understanding how to use these tags, you can ensure compliance with national regulations, reduce errors, and streamline your tax processes. 

Strengthening Access Visibility, Automation, and Governance

As organizations continue to modernize their system landscapes, access governance must adapt to increasing complexity. Managing users, roles, groups, and entitlements across hybrid and cloud environments calls for clearer visibility, smarter integration options, and dependable audit support.

The Q4 2025 updates to SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance (IAG) introduce a fresh set of enhancements spanning application integrations, APIs, job management, and reporting. These additions bring more flexibility, improved insight into access data, and expanded options for governing access. As a result, this helps teams work more efficiently as their environments grow and evolve.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in this release!

Seamless Application Integration with SAP HANA Cloud

SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance now supports deeper integration with SAP HANA Cloud, enabling synchronization of users, groups, and group authorizations. This integration lays the foundation for consistent access governance by supporting risk assessment, user provisioning with group assignments, and certification processes, all from a centralized governance layer.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

User Filter Support Across All Applications

User filter functionality is now extended to all SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance integration scenarios. This enhancement allows customers to exclude users who do not need to be governed, ensuring governance efforts remain focused and effective.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Enhanced Access Request API for Greater Flexibility

The Access Request API has been enhanced by removing the mandatory domain field and introducing flexible user identification options. Users can now be retrieved using identifiers such as email, global user ID, or a universal search parameter.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Manage Jobs - Change History Visibility

A new change history capability has been introduced in the Manage Jobs application. Administrators can now view updates made to jobs, including pause and resume actions, as well as the users responsible for those changes.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Business Role Coverage Report

The new Business Role Coverage Report provides clear insights into how user roles are mapped within business roles. With smart filters, intuitive selection tools, and easy download options, administrators can quickly identify gaps and ensure proper role coverage.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Unassociated Access Report

Embedded within the Business Coverage Report, the Unassociated Access Report helps administrators identify roles and groups that are not linked to any business roles. Users can drill down into details and refine searches using smart filters to pinpoint specific unassociated accesses.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Access Report

The Access Report provides a comprehensive view of all users along with their assigned and unassigned accesses. It also shows how accesses relate to business roles, making it easier to validate access origins and appropriateness.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Access Usage Report

The new Access Usage Report combines the functionality of the previously separate Unused Access and Actively Used Access reports into a single unified view. It supports on-premise and ABAP-based systems, including SAP HANA on-premise and SAP ERP.

Please refer to the following for more information: Help Portal Documentation

Closing Thoughts

These enhancements mark another strong step forward for SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance, bringing greater clarity, flexibility, and control to how organizations manage access across increasingly complex landscapes. From deeper integrations and APIs to unified reporting and stronger audit transparency, this release is designed to help teams govern access with confidence, efficiency, and precision.

As access governance continues to evolve alongside cloud and hybrid environments, SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance remains committed to delivering practical, scalable innovations that reduce risk, simplify operations, and support compliance at every stage. We’re excited to see how these capabilities help you strengthen your governance processes, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you as even more improvements arrive in upcoming releases.

Hello SAP Community, 

As we move into February, it’s time to explore the latest updates and enhancements delivered during January 2026. In this edition of  What's New, I’ll walk you through the latest features and improvements delivered in SAP Profitability and Performance Management Cloud – Universal Model (SAP PaPM Cloud UM).  

To stay up to date with previous blog posts from my colleagues, you can always go through and read them all using PaPMCloudUMWhatsNew tag. 

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in February. 

Report  

Drag-and-Drop Reordering of Inserted Tabs in Reports 

You can now reorder inserted tabs within the Report page editor. 

This enhancement allows you to reorder inserted tabs using drag-and-drop directly within the Report screen. It improves flexibility and usability by enabling tab order adjustments without removing and reinserting tabs. This works directly within the Report screen once the tabs have been added. 

To reorder tabs, switch the Report Page to Edit mode. After inserting tabs, simply drag and drop them within the page editor to arrange them in the desired order. 

Home Screen Applications References in Reports 

You can now link Home Screen apps to Report Elements. 

A new button is available under Set Reference functionality in Reports, providing a drop-down list of Universal Model home page applications. This allows you to select and link an app in the same way as already existing references. 

This enhancement provides more flexibility to customize reports and navigation by directly connecting report elements with the relevant application from the home page application 

To create a link, switch the Report Page to Edit mode, hover over the grid, and select the Set Reference icon. 

In the Set Reference configuration window, open the Other tab. Choose Apps, and then select the required Home Screen app from the drop-down list. 

Data Screen 

Export numeric values to Excel without currency symbols 

You can now export report data to Excel with numeric values only, without currency symbols. 

In addition to the existing right-click export, a new export option Export to Excel – Numeric Values Only is available. When selected, amounts containing currency information in the report are exported as pure numeric values, allowing Excel to recognize them as numbers for easy validation, calculation and further processing without manual cleanup. 

The existing export functionality remains unchanged and continues to export values together with currency information. 

This is also applicable to export from Show Elements in Reports.  

Consistent column formatting in drill-down views 

As you already know, you can explore the detailed records behind aggregated key figures directly in the Data screen - in Pivot mode key figures are displayed as clickable links. When you select a key figure, a second list view (drill-down detailed view) appears at the bottom of the screen, showing the detailed data records that contribute to the selected value.  

From now on, column formatting defined in pivot tables is applied to drill-down detailed views in the Data screen.  

When you drill down to detailed records, the system inherits the column formatting settings from the originating pivot view. This includes display options such as “Text only”, “Value only”, “Text Last” and “Text First”. 

As a result, detailed records are displayed consistently with the aggregated pivot view, improving readability, and ensuring a uniform data presentation across different levels of analysis. 

To change the formatting for Grouped Row Data, hover over the Group field to see the menu where you can choose the required Text Arrangement option. 

To change the formatting for the Column labels, proceed as follows: 

1. Choose the Column pane in the sidebar element and choose Edit (pencil icon) next to the field name.
2. In the popup window that appears select required Text Arrangement from drop-down list with options.
3. Choose Save or Cancel to discard changes. 
4. Choose Refresh to apply the changes. 

After changing the formatting, the drill-down view must be re-applied by selecting the number for which you want to display details. 

This is also applicable to drill-down views in Show Elements in Reports. 

Dynamic hide and read-only conditions at cell level across Data Screen views 

You can now configure dynamic conditions in Adapt UI to control the visibility and editability of fields at cell level, with consistent behavior across both the Object Page and the Data screen view. 

Conditions defined in Adapt UI allow you to hide or show specific field values and to switch between editable and read-only states. The same logic is applied consistently to: 

• fields on the Object Page, and  
• corresponding cells in the Data screen. 

 When the defined conditions are not met, fields remain visible and editable in both views. All hide and read-only rules are saved as part of the Adapt UI configuration and persist after reload or re-login. 

You can base hide and read-only conditions on values of other fields within the same row, and the behavior updates after refresh when those driver values change. 

You can also remove or disable the configured conditions to restore the default state, where fields are fully visible and editable. 

Once defined for one record, the rules/conditions are applied across the entire dataset. 

Hidden Conditions  

Read-Only Conditions

Hello SAP Community and Happy New Year! 🎉

Welcome to the first 2026 edition of the “What’s New” series for SAP Profitability and Performance Management Cloud Standard Model (SAP PaPM Cloud SM). As we kick off the year, we’re excited to share a few updates focused on strengthening operational visibility, improving the user experience, and supporting smoother collaboration across teams.

Let’s dive into what’s new! 😊

User Settings | User Profile

Great news! We’re introducing a new User Profile entry point in the application header to make user-related actions easier to find and faster to access. This enhancement is designed for signed-in users and provides a centralized place to review account details, adjust display preferences, manage notifications, and quickly access application information

With this update, users can open the User Profile (top-right) and access three options:

• User Preferences
• About
• Sign Out

Previously, these options were accessible from the hamburger menu (left-side navigation). They are now moved to the User Profile (top-right) to keep navigation focused on application areas, while user actions remain consistently available in the header.

Choosing User Preferences opens a dedicated dialog titled “User Preferences”, with three sections on the left for quick navigation:

• Account

• Language and Format

• Notifications

This keeps frequently used personalization settings in one place and reduces the need to navigate across different areas of the UI.

The About option opens a dialog titled “About This Application”

Choosing Sign Out logs the user out of the application.

To learn more about User Profile, please refer to the User Profile | SAP Help Portal

Settings Screen | Destination Settings: SAP Cloud ALM

A new enhancement has been introduced in the Destinations Settings section under the SAP Cloud ALM option. When changes are made to the SAP Cloud ALM destination configuration and saved, an exception log is automatically sent to SAP Cloud ALM within the Integration and Exception Monitoring. This ensures full traceability of the changes, faster troubleshooting, and improved audit trail compliance for destination changes.

Modeling | Runtime Attributes (Stored Procedure Viewer)

When a modeler activates a function, SAP PaPM generates runtime artifacts (such as tables and stored procedures) that support execution.

In some cases, activation can fail, and the stored procedure may not be available in the database making it harder to understand what went wrong.

With this enhancement, modelers can now view the generated stored procedure source code directly in the Modeling UI under Runtime Attributes, helping them troubleshoot and identify modeling issues more easily even when activation is not successful.

What’s improved

• More self-service troubleshooting: Quickly check the generated procedure text to understand activation problems and adjust the model accordingly.
• On-demand loading: The procedure source is fetched only when the modeler opens/views it, keeping the Modeling screen responsive.
• Secure approach: Designed to support debugging without exposing procedure source code through general logging for broader audiences.

Where it’s available

This viewer is available under Runtime Attributes for these function types:

• Allocation
• Calculation
• Conversion
• Derivation
• Transfer Structure
• Join
• View

How to use it

1. Go to Modeling and select a supported function
2. Activate the supported function if not yet activated
3. In the Properties Panel, choose the drop-down arrow of Runtime Attributes.
4. Expand Stored Procedure to load and display the stored procedure text

Successful activation:

Failed activation:

Teams | In-App Notification

An enhancement for notifications in the SAP Profitability and Performance Management Cloud Standard Model is now available.  If the user has notifications enabled, they will receive the new team-related notifications by email, in-app, or both.

Users will be alerted in the following scenarios:

• When they are assigned to or unassigned from a team
• When their team is added or removed as a child team
• When their team’s name or description is updated
• When their team becomes obsolete, or is restored from an obsolete status
• When their team is deleted

See sample image below:

To learn more about notification settings, please refer to the Notifications | SAP Help Portal

The “Edit Contact” screen will open, where you can view the selected contact’s core information such as first name, last name, and job position, as well as the roles currently assigned. 

In the lower section of this screen, Accounts Payable/Dunning Contact and E-Bill Contact roles can be added by selecting the applicable country from the Applicable Countries options. (E-Billing (all LOB), E-Billing Software & Maintenance, E-Billing Cloud). 

After making the selection, click “Save.” There will be three blue dots that circle whilst the update is in progress. You will now be able to see the contact in the card with the new role assigned. This will also be assigned real time in our back-end systems.    

Create Contact  

If you want to create a contact, click on the “Create” button at the right-hand side of the “Your Finance Contacts”. This brings up a screen where you need to input the mandatory fields – First Name, Last Name, Email, and Job Position, then click “Create Contact”. Mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk. 

A confirmation message will appear indicating that your request is being processed and may take a few minutes. You can continue working during this time. To check the latest status, refresh the card. 

If you enter an e-mail that already exists against a contact in our database, you will receive a warning message that you need to use the existing contact, by adding a role and choosing the e-mail address of the existing contact, rather than creating a duplicate contact.    

Transfer  

Click on the “Transfer” button to the right-hand side of the “Your Finance Contacts”.  

This brings up a screen where you can see the roles you want to transfer. By clicking the downward arrows on the right side, you can view the available options for different LOBs. 

After making your selection, you can search for the contact you want to transfer the role to at the bottom of the screen. Select the contact and then click “Submit”. 

If you would like to transfer a role to a new contact, you must first create the contact. Then, on the role transfer screen, search for the contact using the search field and select it to proceed with the transfer. 

Edit 

This is used for removing or adding a role. You can also edit a contact’s name or e-mail address as long as they are not S-user in which case Super Admin will have to edit.    

Click on the pencil-shaped icon as the edit icon. On the screen that opens, you can make the required changes. Click the downward arrow to select the role you want to add or remove, then click “Save”. 

Note that you cannot remove a role, unless there is someone else in the company that has the same role.  

Delete  

This is used to delete a contact and break the relationship between the company and the contact.  This will not only remove the contact from “Your Finance Contacts” card but will also remove the contact from the back-end systems.   

There are two caveats to this. There must be someone else with the role assigned, and most importantly, the user must not be an S-User.    

Click on the pencil-shaped icon as the edit icon and then “Delete Contact” button.  You will first be asked to ensure that there is another person with that role.  If not, you will need to assign that role to someone else first.  Once you have confirmed “Delete”.  If the user you want to delete is a S-User, then you will only be able to remove the role, but the contact will not be deleted in the back-end systems. 

In short, customers can update their own "Purchase Order Responsible Maintenance, Purchase Order Responsible Cloud and Maintenance Responsible, the person who should receive the CPI notification. 

Following the go-live, Accounts Payable/Dunning and E-Bill contacts can also be maintained by customers via self-service.
