BPC Consolidation - automatad elimination postings to "elimination entity"

Dear Experts!
My client is running on BPC 10 NW. I have requirement to post automated eliminations (IC elimination and common stock/investments) to artificial "elimination entity".
Unfortunately "Adjustments and Elimination" business rule dedicated to use with consolidation-type model seems not to support such an option. It always posts elimination into entity which elimination is related to and at the same time to CONSO entity which is the entity where all consolidation numbers are posted.
I also tested "US Eliminations" and although it posts eliminations to "elimination entity" its functionality is very limited and inflexible (only IC calculations, no support for minority interest, no support to different consolidation methods).
It means I really need "Adjustments and Elimination" business rules. Does anyone know how to force "Adjustments and Elimination" business rules to post eliminations in elimination (artificial) entity?
Regards
M.

Hi Marek,
Is it just one entity per rule? If yes, have you tried the force destination members option?

BPC Consolidation without Tranding Partner - Intco

Hi experts,
I'm doing the blueprint on a customer to implent the BPC Consolidation 7.5 NW, but for my surprise on FI-NewGL the chart of accounts is oppen by the inter-company level, in other words, the system has many accounts for all the intercompany possibilities. So today the customer export the period and do the IUElimination on excel matching a pair of accounts.
My question is, is it possible to build the consolidation on BPC without the trading partner, doing the matching for all the accounts possibilities ?
I suspect this is impossible, one of this reason is the COI, Am I correct ?
Best Regards

Ok Clodualdo,
Just to explain better the question, the scenario is this:
On ECC, the chart of accounts was made in order to open all the cases of intercompnay, in other words, we used to see one or two, accounts of Customer Interco x Vendor Interco, here they have 40, for all the cases of elimination matching, they absorbed the concept of tranding partner(interco) to the accounts, example:
In other Companys,
Master data:
Company Account Tranding Partner Ammount
A 1000 B 100
B 2000 A -100
A 1000 C 80
C 2000 A -80
Note, if you want to use the same account to do the intercompany you can because you have the tranding partner.
Here,
Master data:
Company Account Ammount
A 1000 100
B 2000 -100
A 1001 80
C 2000 -80
Elimination Hoped at BPC
Company Account Ammount
A 1000 -100
B 2000 100
A 1001 -80
C 2000 80
Total 0
Note, they use many accounts on the holding, which represents one of their companies, and the other side is always the same account, modifying the company, but the total ammount is the same, they don't eliminate by the High or Less value, is just a reclassification, with a debit(or credit) in the holding versus one debit(or credit) at the controlled.
In this situation is irrelevant the use of the tranding partner.
I appreciate if someone could explain which is the problem to do the elimination on BPC without the tranding partner (interco) ?
If have problem, I was think to carry the data to BPC and do a reclassification marking the tranding partner, anyone see like me ?
Best Regards

SAP BPC Consolidations vs SEM-BCS

Hi all,
Has anyone compared the features/functionalities of SAP BPC Consolidation with SEM-BCS consolidation? What are the advantages of BPC Consolidation over SEM-BCS, and vice-versa? For a brand new implementation, what is the preferred tool?
Thanks,
Sujoy Banerjee

Hi Sujoy,
In general if you are starting out with a new implementation, BPC is the recommended solution for several reasons:
1) It's a unified solution offering both Consolidations and Planning
2) It's designed to be owned and managed by business users, not IT
3) It's integrated with the Enterprise Performance Management for Finance suite, which also includes profitability and strategy management
If however you need support for complex consolidation scenarios, such as legal consolidations, you may want to consider BCS.
You should be able to find several documents comparing the two solutions if you go the Support Center (https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/support) and do a document search on BPC vs. BCS.
Hope this helps.

BCF in BPC - Consolidation on YTD Model

Hi
I would like to know whether we need to run the BCF for every period in BPC- Consolidation NW 10 with YTD model.
If you’re using a YTD model for consolidations, then you need to run the BCF
package for each period of the new year. This is necessary to record the opening
balance for each period because in a YTD model, the opening balance isn’t summed
up from the prior periods.
Regards
SAP BOSS

Hi,
if by BCF you mean the carry forward of balances business rule then the answer is yes, you need to run it for every period in a YTD model.
Alternatively you could copy the opening balance flow data from one month to another as it remains constant throughout a financial year, showing always the closing amount from the prior year end period.

Arnold

Re: Consolidation and Elimination in BPC

Hello,
I like to share a scenario with you all -
We planned not to use Consolidation of Investment in BPC. Run all other eliminations; receivables/payables, revenue/expenses etc. In this case do i need to fix Percentage(%) of ownership in BPC?
Kind regards,
RJ

Hi RJ,
You need to check all the possible scenarios where you would use owership %. I have listed few below
1. COI - you are not setting this any way
2. MI Computationk
3. Good will computation
4. Intercompany elimination for JV/associates or transactions with JV or associated. - ( we eliminate only proportional % for JV's). But we will not eliminated transaction if it is associate.
5. Dividend Elimination - As MI portion of dividend paid is to be computed.
US elim is best to use, when elimination is always 100% and all the companies are consolidated using purchase method.
Hope this helps,
Kranthi

ECCS - consolidation Monitor - Elimination Rev/Exp error

Dear ECCS experts,
When I am runing interunit elimination for revenue/expenses(CX20), I am getting error for cost item being not reflected. e.g
I posted entry as follows
Cost A/c -Dr 1000 (Company ocde 2000)
to Revenue A/c - Cr1000 (C.cd 6000)
When I run interunit elimination for revenue/expenses only Revenue effect is coming and cost a/c effect is missing.
Can anyone tell me what assignment I am missing for this error? or How to resolve this error?
Regards
Sanjay D

For us to better help, please give specific details of the error that arises upon the execution of the interunit elimination task.
Based on the other information provided it appears that the cost item is not included in the elimination method assigned to the task and it is therefore not eliminated. Please provide details of the method for us to help resolve this. Or, it could be that there is no trading partner for the cost posting, or that the trading partner is not included in the cons group for which the elimination is executed.

White Papers required on Consolidation with Elimination

Hi
Please let me know if any white papers are avaible on Consolidation after elimination

Hi Kent,
AD has many features that IT Administrator might benefit from.
The first ofwhich is Centralized Authentication. All user accounts are managed in a single location. This means that you can use your credentials among any of the machines in the environment.
Another item this allows is better security for sharing resources. Security groups are very useful for targeting access to resources such as file shares.
Group policy allows to you enforce settings across a number of machines or users. This would allow you to set different policies for users logging into the Terminal servers vs users logging
into their workstations.
As for the users, I think you can convince them via AD provide the shared resource and Centralized Authentication features.
By the way, if you decide to use Active Directory, I would recommend to order 2 servers, one is primary and another one is as back up.
This ensures that you do not have a single point of failure for your Active Directory Domain.

Elaine

BPC - Consolidation - Data Loading - Will BS/PL accounts data ONLY be loaded from ECC?

Dear All,
In BPC, when we load data from ECC for Consolidation, my understanding is that we load only BS and PL accounts' data for/by the entity.
Apart from BS and PL data, will there be any data that will have to be loaded into BPC for consolidation?
The following three financial statements -
-Statement of Cash Flow
-Statement of Changes in Equity
-Statement of Comprehensive Income
are actually derived/calculated from the loaded BS and PL data. This is my understanding. Pls. correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
Balance sheet, PL and those three financial statements are derived from BS/ PL accounts, however, there should also be "flow" information. Otherwise you won't end up with a correct consolidated cash flow or equity movement. ( or you can prefer to enter flow detail manually)
Second thing is, while getting BS & PL accounts, you will also need trading partner detail, otherwise you won't be able to do the eliminations. (or you can prefer to manually enter trading partner detail for intercompany accounts)
Thirdly, you should also consider other disclosures. (Depending on what standart you are implementing - IFRS, US GAAP, Local Gaap whatever...)
Hope this gives an idea.
Mehmet.

BPC consolidation in MDG

Hi,
We have a requirment where to create & govern BPC GL's and its hierarchies in MDG 7.0. Do we have any success story on this ?
Please let us know the approach to be followed. Should be consider Account / Acccdet / FRS / FRSI entity types or Leverage FSI & FSIH for this ?
I saw in documentation saying FSI & FSIH are more for BCS, can they be leveraged to BPC. (Please note in BPC we have a lot of cutom attributes)
Appreciate your help on this.
Saran.

Hello Saran
FS Item in consolidation is Group account in SAP ECC. You have to link the group account to the GL account. FSI entity type is your group account which will be replicated as FS Item in BCS and group account in ECC.
GL account is not linked to BCS or BPC directly. You have to create them in ECC for day to day operations. Each GL account is linked to your Group account - Check FS00 for GL and FSP0 for group account. The flow is -
1. Create FSI i.e your FS item in BCS / BPC - Replicate to BCS or BPC
2. Create Group Account in MDG - this will replicate to ECC
3. Create GL account and link the group account to GL - this will create a GL account in ECC with link to group account.
Regarding your query on FSI and FSH - Yes you can do it. Use collective processing to assign the FSI to FSH. Create a separate CR type without single processing tick. Create a blank CR and then use collective processing for the assignment, Make sure you have created Breakdown category and Trading partners - Company in MDG first as its linked to FS item.

BPC Consolidation Account Dimension - R_ACCT X C_ACCT X O_ACCT X P_ACCT

Hi everyone,
I search for all the forum and I didn't find any explanation about the use of the "standards" accounts on BPC, we are using BPC 7.0 for NW.
Why BPC NW differentiate the dimensions depending on which application are going to be included?
For example BPC NW has four dimensions for the account C_ACCT(consolidation), R_ACCT(rate), P_ACCT(Planning) and O_ACCT(Ownership).
In our consolidation project we have the planning front too so at the end we will have only a group chart of account for both.
Can we maintain only an account dimension or is there a technically requirement to mantain three or more account dimensions?
One for Legal App, one for Ownership App, one for Intercompany Matching App and one for planning?
So we should have to use same dimension, an example the C_ACCT, on all application or we have to use each dimension in their owing application and change them with same data? That's the question.
Could someone explain what would we do in this scenario? Please don't send documentation because on every one we read are saying to use different, but how is the maintenance for that, explain this.
Best Regards
Alexandre

Hello Alexandre,
You cannot use the same account dimension in all these applications, because the Rate and Ownership applications are designed to store currency conversion and ownership related data, so it would make no sense to add a financial chart of account to these applications. You could however use the same CoA between your Consolidation and your ICMatching, the idea to have two different ones is that you only have Intercompany data from some of your accounts and you may also want to use different roll-ups of your account to perform you IC Matching.
Here are the 4 account dimension:
- R_ACCT used in the Rate application, contains type of rates (like "END", "AVG)
- O_ACCT used in the Ownership application, contains method and percentage of consolidations (like "METHOD","PCON","POWN,...)
- C_ACCT used in the consolidation application, containt the financial Char of Account (Balance Sheet, P&L, ...)
- P_ACCT used in the planning application, contains account specific for Planning.
You could share the same CoA between your Consolidaiton and Planning, as long as you can defined a common one that fits both purposes

BPC Consolidation application - YTD or periodic

Hi,
YTD or Periodic - For legal consolidation (IFRS, USGAAP), what would be the best option for a customer with ECC, BW and BPC landscape. Are there any major issues in mapping specific consolidation process in YTD application (like reconciliation with ECC data ect).

Hello Lokesh,
The IFRS focuses mainly on the reporting aspects of financial results of an enterprise. Consolidated or not, for all listed companies, these requirements impose strict norms that need to be adhered to for reporting the financial results. Therefore, if an enterprise has many subsidiaries and the numbers are reported for the group as per the IFRS norms, it still presupposes that ALL the norms have been adhered to.
In respect of Business Objects Planning and Consolidation, SAP has come up with a Starter Kit for IFRS adoption. It is pre-configured with all reports, controls and rules for performing, validating and publishing a statutory consolidation in accordance with IFRS standards. An enterprise may have the desired setting for its Consolidation Definition. One of the settings is choosing a pre-defined variant that allows it to have either Periodic or YTD setting to be selected for a given category, data period and currency. For more information, follow this link:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/bofc10/en/FC10_SK_IFRS_ConfDesc_en.pdf
In my view, for legal consolidation, the consolidated financial information is valid only if it is YTD. The periodic values are needed only for calculating the movements - for Statement of Cash Flows. This aspect is well taken care of in the Consolidation Processing u2013 either Full Processing or Incremental processing.
If you want to reconcile the balances as per ECC, BI as well as BPC, you have to consider only the YTD values.
Hope this gives adequate information for clarifying your doubt.

BPC consolidation for each month

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am having a query on how BPC system run the consolidation process for the specific months.
In our current support project, we are running consolidation for the client on a monthly basis. So in the transformation file we keep changing the month in the selection to make the system understand the month till which the data has to be uploaded from the ECC cube to BPC cube.
My query is, for example if we are running June 2014, in the selection we give June 2014 and so BPC system takes data from ECC till June 2014 and if I see my May 2014 consolidation monitor the status will be "done". So when I upload data till June 2014 how will system understand that this is for June 2014 consolidation and should not disturb any other months consolidation.
Kindly help me on the same.
Regards,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
when you upload the data in bpc they will added all under 2014.JUN and you will work with these data, the previous data has another date, e.g. 2014.MAY and so you will not have issues, in all the packages, script, data entry,etc. you will work with 2014.JUN as parameter.
Regards
Roberto

BPC Consolidation SPRUNCONSO stored procedure

I am working through the stored procedure for subsidiary investment and equity elimination using the stored procedure SPRUNCONSO. I get there error "CSD-090 Nothing extract from ownership". I have followed the administration guide but seem to be missing some configuration. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

The error generally means you need to check 3 possible issues.
-Check for the property "IS_INPUT" in the Account dimension of the OWNESHIP Cube
-Check if you have some base member from the Account dimension of the OWNESHIP Cube with IS_INPUT = "Y"
-Check If you have valid information (data) in the OWNERSHIP cube for the selected Category Time.
There was a prior Forum Message that outlined all the known Stored Procedure Errors and what to look to improve.
Let us know if this helps.
