Automate Consolidation

Does anyone have some good tips for automating consolidation? We're currently using the Taskflow Manager to kick off the consolidation at certain times.
We'd like to add some things-
1) Send an email when the consolidation is complete
2) Log off all users when the consolidation begins (and lock the app while consolidating)
3) Post all "approved" JVs prior to consolidating
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Per Oracle Support:
1) Logoff users and/or keep them out of the system at the beginning of the consolidation
No you cannot log off users or keep them out of the system at the beginning of the consolidation
2) Post all "approved" journal vouchers priot to the consolidation
No you cannot post all approved journal vouchers
3) send an email when the consolidation is complete or has an error
yes you can send email when consolidation is complete or when error occurs.
(In Admin guide there is a option task flow which will explain the steps for sending email when consolidation is complete or when error occurs)
Please feel free contact me if You have any further queries
I couldn't find the info for #3 in the admin guide (except something about emailing from Shared Services), so I asked for clarification. Will post if it makes sense.
I figure you might be able to have IT set up a "redirect" page during times of consolidation. That would keep users out.
Also, in the Using Task Automation section of the HFM admin guide, there is an Execute action that talks about running .bat batch files from the command line editor...but I cannot for the life of me find this in the system.

Step Consolidation

Hi all
I'm having a problem with my requirement in Step Consolidation
The scenario is that when the frist level consolidation is consolidated. the consolidated values will be put on a dummy entity as LC so this values will be used in the second level consolidation since Company id has been replaced it should also have a unique intco that is use for interco elim
my problem is that how will i handle the interco since every company will be possibly having an interco in other companies outside its group
maybe you can give me some advice what is the best practice
thanks

Hi Rajat,
The good news is that there's no need for you to create two consolidation applications.
The first thing you need to do is set-up two groups for your two different consolidation levels, and in your ownership app ensure that the correct entities are assigned to each group. This will allow the system to differentiate intercompany postings according the Group in question.
If you want to store the sub-consolidation results against a specific entity please do the following:
- Create a new entity e.g. Sub Consol Company 3
- In the Store_Entity property of your group dimension enter Y against your consol group used for the sub consol
- In the Entity property of your group dimension enter e.g. Sub Consol Company 3
When you process the automatic consolidation rules the engine will save the sub consolidation results against the Sub Consol Company 3 allowing you to see the step consolidation results.
Fortunately if you're running a 7.5 system help is at hand. I recommend that you install the IFRS appset to see a working example of this config, the documentation around the solution is very good.
Good luck!

replying myself, ok if I skip to select "define variance" after changing model and click ok immediatly (so I get error message: "Base value not set" it updates the existing values in category for selected model (in reality the refresh should be done after changing model)
would be a nice Little fix (if hard just make a refresh button)

Nokia Messaging 1.2.2 has been released!

A new Nokia Messaging release (version 1.2.2) became available on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010. Please go to http://email.nokia.com on your device to download the latest version of the client. Note, if you are using the multiprotocol (built-in) client, no update is needed (E52, E55, E72, E75, 6710, 6730, N86 8MP).
Here are the highlights of this release:
Automatic consolidation of multiple accounts:
Nokia Messaging will automatically consolidate accounts when the user adds an email address that belongs to another Nokia Messaging account. In previous releases, the user would be rejected when adding a new email address to the Nokia Messaging account during setup. Now, the user may continue to setup their account and the new email address will be added to the account being configured.
Password handling simplification:
This release of Nokia Messaging now always aligns the Nokia Messaging password with the Email Service Provider (ESP) password. Users can now simply enter either their Nokia Messaging password or their current ESP password during authentication. If the authentication succeeds and their Nokia Messaging password is different from the ESP password, the account will be updated and the current ESP password will become the Nokia Messaging account password. If users forget the ESP password, they must go to the ESP to retrieve it. As such, the Nokia Messaging web site (email.nokia.com) no longer includes a Forgot Password function.
On-device email retention:
The device now retains 30 days of emails or up to 100 emails (whichever comes first). Also, the Sent Items and Draft folders as well as the subfolders retain 30 days of emails or up to 50 emails (whichever comes first).
Destination feature available on the Nokia S60 5.0 touch devices (X6, N97, N97 mini, 5800, 5530 and 5230):
Nokia Messaging can now automatically switch to WiFi internet access when it is available. Using the device’s Destinations feature, users simply add their favorite WiFi access points to the Internet Destination (or any other Destination that they configure), and Nokia Messaging will automatically switch to it when it is available. Initial setup must still be done with a valid network SIM in the device so that Nokia Messaging can validate the user’s service eligibility. With the new Tools menu item Access point, users can define a different destination to be used or even specify a fixed APN for special cases when a Destination is not appropriate.

Dear Nokia people,
I'm new to S60. I bought last week an XM 5800. Wich I'm liking pretty much. However, I think there is room for improvement in email handling. I'm just saying this as a user who knows things could be better.
Here's my case. I want to be able to view my gmail from my cell phone automatically. Wich sounds simple if it can be checked manually whenever I want (making that process automatic). But it isn't.
I've tried two methods:
1) Messaging
This creates an account and everything works great if you do it manually. When I try to set it up to get my mail I can either do one of two things under "Automatic Retrieval":
E-mail notifications, wich I'm assuming uses the IDLE funcionality. I've tried this option with both possibilities, "Auto-update" or "Only in home network". This only works when I have that inbox connected wich is a good idea since it's generating traffic (costly) and using connection (worse battery life). Maybe there could be an option, if a user wanted it, to keep the connection opened even if the program gets closed, wich would make good use of IDLE and not being annoyed by the warning about exiting the app and closing connection.
E-mail retrieval, this function seems to work, for about 1500 messages, then the phone becomes reaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow. This function should have some more options like retrieving only a certain number of mails AND only that certain number. What I'm saying here is that the phone should only handle for instance the last 50 mails and drop the rest, so if I have 50 mails and a new one arrives, the last one doesn't appear anymore (on the server yes, on the phone no). This would make the application run really smoothly and the phone would not freeze.
Even if this idea doesn't get implemented, at least make the option of Number of mails to be retrieved configurable under this mode, wich under this mode is ALL.
2) MfE
With MfE, I'm able to sync my calendar, nice. And, even if on the google sync site it says the don't suppor the email sync, it works with my mail. So I set up MfE to every 15 minutes to get my mail. This is the option I'm using right now because I don't have to be constantly updating my inbox or leave the connection opened.
The catch is that for this method to work, you have to forget about dividing mails into different carpets with filters in Gmail, I had to eliminate the "skip inbox" setting in the filters that worked with the mail I wanted to receive on my XM 5800. But I guess is a good solution until I find another.
So, in conclusion. It would be very nice to be able to set an IMAP account, like gmail to automatically (every certain amount of time) retrieve a certain number of mails and to keep the inbox with that quantity. Or, at least be able to configure how many mails the inbox should retrieve.
I hope this helps. If this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize and please direct me to where this should go.
Cheers from Chile

Minority interest

hi Gurus,
I am new to HFM so please give me rule for Minority Interest calculation with Automatic Consolidation.........
By 862107
Edited by: 862107 on Jun 9, 2011 10:35 PM

What we did is set up a calc in the calculate subroutine that caculates minority interest and puts it to the elimination company.
If HS.Entity.UD1("")="RETAILCONSELIM" Then
HS.Exp "A#MINORITYINTSUBS=(E#SUSSERCO.A#NETINCOME.W#Periodic"&{All_Top}&"*.1482)"

How to post automatically earnings prior first consolidation

Hi Gurús:
I´m starting a new consolidation in SEM-BCS. At the first consolidation (year 2007, period 12), one "consolidation unit" has earnings prior to this date. I would like to know if it´s possible in SEM to create an automatic task in order to distinghish between earnings prior and after first consolidation (because the calculation of the task Consolidation of Investment (CoI) will be different with 2 different data, earnings prior and earnings after first consolidation).
If its not possible to create an automatic task, can somebody help me about the manual posting in order to correct this data?.
Note: I´ve customized the item 80 as "earnings prior to first consolidation" and item 8 as "earnings after first consolidation".
Thank you in advance.
Juan Perez Cribeiro.

Hi Eugene:
At first time, thank you for your suggestion, but I have already made what you say. I know the customizing, but my "main" question is "how to move" this item (in my case, item 80).
Theoretically, if a subsidiary enters in the consolidation perimeter, for example, in June 2008 (and it´s correctly notified the system), and this subsidiary has "earnings prior the first consolidation" (for example, from January to May 2008), __how (and when) the system moves item 80__?
Thank you again for your help.
Yours sincerelly,
Juan Pérez Cribeiro.

Automatic entry for Common Stock , first consolidation in additional data

Hi,
I need to know why, after uploading the notification data, the system automatically populates an entry on the additional notification data for 'Changes in Investee Equity' at the activity "First consolidation". I must tell that there were no previous entries because this is the first consolidation on ECCS.
But, where is configured which FS Item should the system identify as the one related to the Common Stock? it is detecting the P&L carrying forward FSI instead of the common stock...
Thanks in advance!
Rushid

I finally got the solution by myself. In fact this behaviour is due to the configuration on tx CXJ5 of a combination of a set of FSitems + a set o subitems that are linked to one unique consolidation activity (01-first consolidation,16-horizontal mergers, etc.)
I hope this will help somebody else in a future.

Legal Consolidation, only one automatic adjustment done

Legal Consolidation package is automatically getting CANCELLED

Hi Experts,
I am trying to run the Legal Consolidation dtsx package which triggers the Consolidation.LGF script logic, but i am getting a strange cancellation message. It is automatically getting cancelled and when i look onto the log it shows Package - Running.
Does anyone have a clue on this ?
regards,
Samveer

Hi Fred,
You will need to provide screenshots of your parameter setting or type it out in the message for legal app and ownership applications. If not set properly, the message status you experienced is a typical norm.
The next step you need to check is the ownership application to ensure that you have the appropriate ownership structure setup for the period.
If you believe that you have set up everything appropriately, then scale back your ownership structure to a minimum to make sure that you can run the Consolidations package/process chain (automatic adjustments) to get the desired result. From there, you can build up your structure and test them to ensure expected results.
Are you on SP2 or SP3?

Automatic adjustments get duplicated when consolidating twice

Hi everybody,
We are getting a wired result when executing consolidation.
Right now we have only implemented the stock holder equities elimination and when we execute currency conversion and consolidation Script for the first time the result is correct, the elimination gets done properly.
But if we execute again the consolidation process, the elimination gets duplicated instead of deleting the first elimination and doing it again, the system adds the results so if the result of the elimination is 1000 after executing the process twice the result is 2000 and so on....
Has anyone expected this issue or can tell us whether this is normal or not??
Thanks in advance for your help or suggestions! Best regards!

Hi Jorge,
We have exactly the same problem...
Did you manage to solve it?? If so can you share the solution please?
Thanks in advance.

Automatic creation of PO via PR

Hi all , I have created PO automatically via PRs
Example
Item A 50 Pcs by Requisitioner 1
Item A 20 Pcs by Requisitioner 2
I observed that system creates 2 line items for each requisitioner .
I want PO to be created of 100 Pcs consolidated . and in tem details on deliveryschedule tab it will show the break up of this 100 PCs .
How I can make it possible

Hi Bhushan,
This consolidation of requisition qty is possible only when the delivery date of each PR is matching.
System will consolidate the requirement if it finds the common criterions like purchasing group, plant, company code etc.
So in ur case if u want to combine the PR's qty in single line item, u need to have common delivery date.
Then only it is advisable to combine the qty of each common item from the PR's.
Check it by changing the delivery date same for the item.
Thanks,
Ravi

Aging Report for consolidating Business Partners

I have a customer that is using consolidation functionality for its vendors. The BP parent it is set as multicurrency, the childrenu2019s for this parent are set with a different currency (USD, CAD, RMB etc). My question is how I can obtain a proper aging report for this consolidated BP (by BP children currency) as for now all the transactions are automatically converted in local currency even when Iu2019m selecting the BP currency to display.
Thank you,
Alex Corbu

Hi Alex
The best would be a query on JDT1 table linked to OINV for example. The problem as you mentioned is that although the document is against the sub account, it is automatically posted against the head account for balance and payment purposes. In the journal file it only keeps the Head account and not the sub accounts. In OINV (and other marketing documents) you can use the FatherCard field to identify the Head account and the CardCode the sub account. These will of course be linked by the Document number from OINV and the Ref1 from JDT1.
The above is assuming you need the information exactly the same as the ageing, as the ageing is by default pulled from the Journal tables. You could simplify this by using just the OINV table. Remember that the balance is made up of Invoices less Credit Notes, so in this instance it would be OINV minus ORIN entries.
Hope the above all makes sense, if not just ask.
Kind regards
Peter Juby
