BCS "Prep aration for Group Change"

Has anyone used this functionality? We are having issues with set-up & execution by only using the SAP help documentation. We are not currently using any of the COI functionality and the documentation is pointing us at this for prep for group change.
If anyone has this functioning and can point us at better documentation of can help answer some questions, please let me know. Thanks.

I have only used this in conjunction with COI functionality. Hence if you are not using COI, my suggestion is to not use Con Group Changes.

BCS Virtual Cube Cons Group Change

Hi,
We have a number of Bex reports that read from the BCS virtual cube for our month end reporting.
Quite recently, we prerfomed some Cons Group changes in the BCS application which has impacted our Bex reports via the virtual cube.
If we check the contents of the virtual cube with Cons Group displayed in the output, we see it is missing data (period blank) and this is the data that is being extracted to our Bex report.
If however we check the contents of the virtual cube without diplaying Cons Group, then we get our disired result.
Has anyone experienced anything similiar? Is it possible to get Bex to read the data we require?
Thanks in advance.

It is suggested you read the SAP BCS help for cons group changes.
In most cases the cons units should not be removed from the "divesting" cons group when adding it to another cons group. The cons group master data for the "divesting" cons group should simply be updated for these units with a period/year of divestiture - the period of change.
Additionally the cons group changes tasks move the balance sheet items from the "divesting" cons group to the "acquiring" group with posting level 02. 12 and 22 records to allow for reporting of pre- and post- change reporting on these cons groups.

SEM-BCS Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes

Hi All,
Is the task "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" only implemented when Consolidation of Investments has also been implemented?
Does "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" have any value on its own?
Any comments, replies or suggestions most welcome.

Hi,
I think that prep for cons group changes is independent (but supplementary to) from CoI.
See what is said in help:
"When in the middle of a fiscal year a consolidation unit is either acquired by a consolidation group (acquisition), divested from a consolidation group (divestiture), or <b>changes its accounting technique</b> (method change), the following data must be adjusted:
- Reported financial data
- Standardized financial data
- Consolidated data with posting level 20"
As you can see, not only consolidated data are to be changed, but also Standardized and Reported.
Moreover, as is seen above, changes of accounting technique will also trigger such activities.
So, my answers:
1. No
2. Yes.
Best regards,
Eugene

How do you change the volume used for group folders in Lion Server?

So I'm slowly acclimating to Lion Server, however, I'm not able to determine how to specify the parent folder for Groups. By default it's the /Groups root directory on the boot volume however I'm trying to change it to an alternate drive on a separate volume. I've tried removing the sharepoint from the 'Server' admin utility and adding the alternate Group folder (on a separate volume) but to no avail.
Has anyone else worked with this?

Hey,
Open Workgroup Manager app, from the ServerAdminTools, (link) enter your domain name for your server (FQDN), enter your OpenDirectory administrator user and password, go to Groups > Groups Folder.
Hope this helps.

HT1451 when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

SAP query for Material pricing group changes in material.

Dear all,
I'm trying to generate a query for Material Pricing group changes in material. For that I've to retrieve data from follwing three tables MVKE, CDHDR & CDPOS.
Firstly while generating infoset -
I tried it by joining tables MVKE & CDHDR, but system is not allowing it, also table CDPOS can't bejoined.
Then I tried by reading dirctly from table MVKE and then adding additional fields in it. query created using this infoset is giving the output, however it's giving only 1 entry per material entered in input.
for multiple entries in output for MPG changes in same material I tried creating addtional structure for table CDHDR & CDPOS but again I'm getting only 1 entry per material.
please suggest how I can get MPG changes done in specified time period for a material.
Thanks.

Hi
Check the report RSSCD100 and run it for object MAT_FULL for table MVKE. Use this report as a template for your own development.
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
PD: sorry, the table is DMVKE

Dear friend,
Check table: V_503_ALL
V_T512Z and V_511_B are the tables for assigment of Permissibility based on ESG and PSA
After creating new EG/ESG (grouping also).
Please note that when we update Employee Group/Subgroup of position in PP01, it is not effective to PF in master data which was maintained with that position & old Employee group/supgroup.
So you should check:
- Position
- PFs with old EG/ESG.

HT4974 Changing file service location for Groups

Who has found the "separate interfaces" for File Service data mentioned in the referenced article? I cannot figure out how to get Mountain Lion OS X Server to move away from the /Groups folder for Group Services.
TIA,
Tim

Hi there
I have been looking at this also and am also very annoyed that Apple has chosen not to surface this functionality in the Server administration GUI for system administrators. It must be part of their drive to 'prettify' OS X Server — a terrrible mistake and the persons responsible should be sacked and some people with real (painful) sysadmin experience be put in responsibility. Strong words I know, but read on...
The minute someone decides to install OS X Server they go from being a 'user' to being, whether they like it or not, a 'sysadmin'. It is no trivial thing being a systems administrator, and sysadmins very quickly, with respect to touching systems, become familiar with this sentiment : "Be afraid, be very afraid..."
The functionality to change the location of the File Sharing — Groups, Server Public (Shared Items) & Users — mount points exists in OS X Server. In fact it can (should be able to I believe — I have not tried it... yet) be changed with one command... if necessary preparations have been done.
To view all the server settings for file sharing issue this command in Terminal:
sudo serveradmin settings sharing
we will then see the following for Groups (there is more listed for users etc. folders I haven't shown), I have blanked out some site specific information.
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:dsAttrTypeStandard\:GeneratedUID = "xxx"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbName = "Groups"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:afpIsGuestAccessEnabled = no
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbDirectoryMask = "0755"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:ftpIsShared = no
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:afpName = "Groups"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbCreateMask = "0644"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:ftpIsGuestAccessEnabled = no
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:nfsExportRecord = _empty_array
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:path = "/Groups"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbIsGuestAccessEnabled = no
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:name = "Groups"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbInheritPermissions = no
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:ftpName = "Groups"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:smbIsShared = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:afpIsShared = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:isIndexingEnabled = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:dsAttrTypeNative\:sharepoint_group_id = "xxx"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Groups:mountedOnPath = "/"
This is based on, in my installation, of having the Groups folder in the original default location of "/Groups". One of the lines shows clearly what needs to be changed to move (change mount point) '/Groups' to a new location...
The concern I have with the way you moved the Groups folder is it may not work cleanly long term because just symbolically linking the folder may not be sufficient.
Also using rsync with '-avvE' options copies the extended attributes (ACLs) but setting/copying the (traditional) Unix owner and group ownership & permissions (which are also used by OS X) are not done. If the command is executed as root then all the copied files & directories will change owner & group to root's. The following rsync switches should be used
--owner
--group
--perms
preferably though the Unix 'cp' command should be used with the '-a' switch, something like this:
cp -a /Groups /Volumes/VolumeName/SomeNewFolder
N.B. no trailing '/' is used.
Of course this is untested by myself as yet, and you should check and confirm yourself. I have a Parallels OS X virtual machine I will install OS X Server on to try this, I will not do on my production server.
You will note that I have not listed the the serveradmin settings command to change where OS X Server should look for the '/Groups' folder can you see what it should be? I can post what I believe it should be if you wish, let me know.
Of course all of the above relies on the fact that OS X Server will not get 'upset' with us changing a setting outside of a, non-existant in the first place, GUI surfaced settting function. Which again is why I would like to test this on a virtualised server. Of course you can give it a try, I would be obviously interested to hear how it goes — I would do a full backup first though. After making the serveradmin settings change I would reboot the server.

COI not reading equity data after consolidation group change

Dear experts,
I am running the consolidation of investments task for a new group that has been created on 012.2009. This new group CG2 is a child of an existing one CG1, and all the consolidation units that I have in 012.2009 under CG2 were in 012.2008 under the CG1.
In my new group GC2 all the units have as first consolidation period 012.2009 and on the parent group they have as last consolidation period 012.2009.
The problem is that when I run the COI task the system does not read the equity data for these consolidation units. I have both, equity data and Investment data defined to be read from additional financial data. The system reads correctly the investment data for the parent consolidation unit, and tries to eliminate it, but as it does not read the equity data of the child so it takes the value to consolidation a difference, that is incorrect.
Does anyone know what I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Sónia

Hi Sonia
i dont want to confuse you as Dan is guiding so far. let me put my thoughts some here.
CG1 12/2008
   - CU - A    Parent    12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU- B                   12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU - C                  12/2008 to 999/9999
do you have any another sub node for CU-B and CU-C? as B has investment in C
New Group: 12/2009
CG1
   - CU -A    12/08 to 999/9999
   - CU - B    12/08 to 12/9999
   - CU - C     12/08 to 12/2009
   CG2 group supose to be like this
CG1
    -CU-A
    -CU-B
       I--- CG2
             CU - B   Parent 12/09 to 999/9999
             CU - C                12/09 to 999/9999
     - CU-C
Now with above scenario you can invest in C from B and system will treate as FIRST CONSOLIDATION based on AFD Investments/Equity
How did you maintain B investments in C at CG1 12/08 level?
and or    as per Dan
You have to run PREP for CONSOLIDATION GROUP CHANGE task before CT task and after Elim Taks but before COI task
thx

Consolidation Group Change and Consolidation Activity

Hi Experts,
I am new in SAP consolidation, I have a question regarding the difference between the function "consolidation group change" and "consolidation activity".
If I read in the sap library, these 2 functions are separated, but if I look at the content, I saw some similarity where the consolidation group change also included the investment activity like acquisition and divestiture.
Could anyone explain what are the difference between these 2 function?
When I was a user, if the group acquiered a new cons unit, I just add a new cons unit in the consolidation group hierarchy, assign consolidation method, add the additional financial data for the ownership percentage (activity = first consolidation), enter the reported financial data, run CI function and add one more column in my report painter.
When I read SAP library, I saw the "consolidation group change" function talking about the consolidation activity, now I wonder, what are the difference? What is the business scenario for using the "normal" CI activity and the "consolidation group change"? Please anyone advise. Thank you.
regards,

Normal C/I is a regular acquisition or divestiture. Cons Group Change could be movement of a company from one consolidation group to another (i.e., parent A sells company 1 to parent B). Or you own a company 20% and purchase an additional 60% and must switch accounting technique from Equity to Purchase. BCS will need to book Cons Group Change entries to account for the acct technique change. (In the past, at 20%, you would only book equity pickup, or equitization entries, to the parent as PL30 adjustments in the CoI. Now you must bring in the complete balances of the company due to purchase method of consolidation. BCS books consolidation-group specific adjustments to do this.)
Example....
"Normal C/I activity"
New company A needs be consolidated in Cons Group 1 starting in 03/2007. Add the company to the Cons Group master data, set the accounting technique, update additional financial data w/ activity First consolidation and load data for the new company. Run COI
"Cons Group Change"
Company A is consolidated in Cons Group 1, but starting in 06/2007 they will be sold to a parent in Cons Group 2. Update the Cons Group master data...setting company A to divest in 06/2007 from CG1 and to First Consolidate in CG2 starting in 06/2007. If using Org Change logic, create an Org Change number and define a sender/receiver relationship for CG1 --> CG2. In additional financial data, create a total transfer activity w/ org change logic from CG1 to CG2. Run Org Change task and BCS will zero out balance sheet related to company A in CG1 on posting level 02/12/22. In CG2, similar postings will book "catch up" entries in 06/2007 to bring full balance sheet into CG2. In CoI, company will be transferred to new parent.
Hopefully that makes sense...

Excellent reply SeanEllis Thank you.
Yes after I had the ideas, wrote a survey and created the Skype Room group, I discovered the Forum thread about Skype Ideas and had the same thought. they are already doing this. So, I guess the benefit of mine is to raise awareness of this Skype Idea Community Board.
In my Skype Room guidelines, there is a link to the Survey which has links to all the Skype Ideas Boards for all the Skype clients, (Win7,8 iOS, Mac)... well Mac didnt have one, but I linked to the Mac blog & community.
I completely agree and love the explanation of the process to elevate the most Kudo'd (voted for/ popular) idea requests for implimentation. Very Impressive. People don't relaize that Skype/MS is listening... as you said ... to the clear focused voice of the most voted for and commented on Ideas for Skype changes.

Reset Release Strategy for any change in the Purchase Order

Hi,
Is it possible in SAP standards to reset release strategy for even minor changes in the Purchase Order irrespective of whether it is value change or any change in the text or Purchasing group change or whatever it is?
If so, where do we need to make the configurations.
I have seen in some thread about resetting the release strategy for decrease in Purchase Order value.Even that was possible through some BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
S.Raghavan

hi sandesh,
sorry, i know it's too late.
i tried your suggestion, it works blocking the purchase order after release strategies are setted.
sandesh, raghavan:
i need to reset the strategies after to make any change in the po. i'll appreciate your help if you can give it.

New page for group headers - the first page is blank

In the Section Expert, if you set the Group Header #1 to "New Page Before", and there is a Page Header section, the first page will show the Page Header with no further data. The rest of the report does the page breaks correct, that is, a new page every time the grouping changes.
How do you stop this blank page at the beginning?
If you assign New Page After in the Group Footer, there is a blank page at the end of the report, which is also annoying. What am I missing?
Robert

If you are using "New Page Before" then use the condition by clicking on X+2 corresponds to it and write
Not OnFirstRecord
For "New Page After" write
Not OnLastRecord

If you want to do something with groups do something like:
