Built-in templates for Legal Consolidation in SAP BPC

Hi guys
I am doing a demo for legal consolidation and was wondering if there are built-in input scehdules (templates) in SAP BPC to assign the consolidation methods to entities (to let the system know how an entity needs to be rolled up in a group)?
Also are there any input schedules (templates) to enter the Ownership % and Control % for various subsidiaries under a parent?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

I don't think any of the default applications come with pre-built input templates.  The legal applications does come with a number of pre-configured business rules, but as far as pre-built input templates go none are available.  That being said, it is pretty easy to build a simple input template using the dynamic templates that come with BPC.  Starting with one of these you should be able to configure one of them for your demo without much trouble.  Let me know if you need help with that.

  • IC elimination for legal consolidation

    I am wokring on legal consolidation and am working on legalapp application.
    I notice that the input schedule template for IC elimination refers to dimension members of application finance. Similarly the Logic file (ICElim.lgx in the server refers to dimension and members of finance application.
    Are we expected to adapt tthe templates and logic files or are we supposed to perform IC elimination in Finance application and then transfer values to Legalapp application.

    Regards

    You don't have to copy data from finance to legalapp for the intercompany eliminations.
    You enter Intercompany data directly in the legalapp application for the intersections of IC accounts and intco counterparts.
    Matching is normally done by creating logic that posts the entered ic data directly to the counterpart entity. From this you can create matching reports.
    IC elimination and EQ elimination are being generated by the combination of the stored procedures 'sprunconversion' and 'sprunconso'. The legalapp application has examples for both of them.
    I have never adopted the templates provided by apshell.
    Hope this helps,

  • Set up a template for sales quotes in SAP Business One.

    I would like a sales quotation template to contain the same 10 items so that I do not have to enter the items each time. What is the best way to do this? Is there any sales quotation template in SAP for this?
    I am using SAP Business One 2007A SP0 PL49 and B1UP.

  • DataBasis for Legal Consolidation

    Dear all,
       We are implementing Legal consolidation with BCS 6.0. We only consolidate data with company level of data. Should we use 0BCS_C50 as our dataBasis or other cube (like 0BCS_C10) and remove the all profit center relayed objects? 
    Best Regards,
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    Do not know if the cube 0bcs_c50 was designed for using with EC-CS. I only know that it is treated as obsolete.
    The cube has item (0CS_ITEM), subitem (0CS_SITEM) and subitem category (0CS_SITEMCT).
    I'm preaty sure that subitem is linked to item as subaccount to account (the same type and length).
    The subitem category must be an analog of the MoveType (CHAR 3 both).
    The dimension (0CS_DIMEN) is a compounding attribute to the consolidation unit (0CS_UNIT). It's definitely was entered in order to have some surrogate instead of time-version-dependent hierarchy of ConsUnits.
    In the modern BCS system we have items with a possibility of creating nodes and MoveType is a separate infoobject.
    The hierarchy of 0COMPANY (or the other infoobject) to be used as ConsUnit is version & time-dependent. So, there is no need in Dimension.
    More than that. Please compare 0CS_UNIT (C50) & 0COMPANY (C11).
    0CS_UNIT - awkward CHAR 18 - with a lot attributes that might be not relevant for your situation, plus compounding attribute.
    0COMPANY - simple plain CHAR 6 without any burdening, but with hierarchy version & time dependance.
    So, 0BCS_C50 is really obsolete!

  • Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

    Hi there,
    after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
    Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
    We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Dierk

    Hi Dierk,
    Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
    Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
    The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

  • Consolidation for SAP BPC

    HI Gurus,
    I have gone through the documentation provided by SAP  for  SAP BPC Admin document
    which  just talks about the various business rules available for consolidation.
    Can someone o explain in brief the sequence  steps that one needs to follow for consolidation? (e.g. First develop the dimensions - account, entity, etc., then application - finance, rate, ownership, then set up the consolidation rules, then methods, then automatic adjustment detail etc.)
    Also it will be helpful if someone can actually describe the required properties in each dimension to perform consolidation?
    (e.g. Account needs to have ElimAcc for Eliminations etc.)
    Regards
    kishan

    Hi  Kishan,
                     For consolidation if your working in BPCNW version,here are the requirements.
                      In general you have 3 applications...
                          1.Consolidation-For doing all the consolidation part
                          2.Rate----
    For doing all the currency conversions and Elimainations
                          3.Ownership
                    Here are the  required dimensions dimensions....
                      C_Acct (A)
                      C_Category (C)
                      C_Datasrc (D)
                      Flow (S)
                      Group (R)
                      Entity (E)
                      Intco (I)
                     Time (T)  
                     R_Acct (A)
                     InputCurrency(R)
                     Groups(R)
                     O_Acct (A)
    these are the basic requirements for legal Consolidation.
    The sequance of steps are 1.Load the master data(Dimensions)
                                           2.create the Applications.
                                           3.Load the Appset and Application Parameters.
                                           4.Customizing the Logic(We have the existing logic in BPC-BI use that  Logic).
                                           5.Reports are based on your need.
    If your an Finance background you should have known the steps to process the logic i.e sequence of steps.....if not reply me i will let you know..
    Hope these helps you...
    have a nice day......

  • Legal Consolidation: Entity structure question

    Hi Experts,
    Just want to ask if technical Entities are required in order for Legal Consolidation to work in SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP6? I'm using both R-Type (Currencies) and G-Type dimension (Conso Groups). In my first structure, I only have the following set up in my Entity and Groups dimension:
    Entity Dimension:
    ID          EVDESCRIPTION          PARENTH1     CURRENCY     INTCO     FX_TYPE     ELIM
    ALL_COMP     All Company                         
    COMPT1          Company Group 1          ALL_COMP                    
    COMP1          Company 1          COMPT1             USD          I_COMP1          Y
    COMP2          Company 2          COMPT1             USD          I_COMP2          Y
    COMPT2          Company Group 2          ALL_COMP                    
    COMP3          Company 3          COMPT2             USD          I_COMP3          Y
    COMP4          Company 4          COMPT2             USD          I_COMP4          Y

    NON_GROUP     Non Group     
    In this set up, my Consolidation results in error "RUN_LOGIC:Accounts and entities do not match data in application OWNERSHIP". But if I change my set up to the following(with technical Entities), I don't get the error:
    Entity Dimension:
    ID          EVDESCRIPTION          PARENTH1     CURRENCY     INTCO     FX_TYPE          ELIM

    Am I just missing some properties or set up in my first that's why I'm getting the error or do I really need to create technical Entities for consolidation to work??
    Thanks,
    Marvin

    Hi nilanjan,
    I was pertaining to the Entities with ID that starts with "E". Anyway, I tried removing the values "Y" for property "ELIM" in the Entity dimension and removed the values for "ENTITY" and STORE_ENTITY in the Groups dimension and I don't encounter the error and consolidation calculates okay.
    Thanks,
    Marvin

  • Legal Consolidation VS Management Consolidation

    Hi Gurus,
    In the reporting application types
    " Financial type allows to perform Management consolidation function and in Consolidation type allows to perform Legal consolidation function. "
    What is the difference between Management consolidation and legal consolidation ?
    I am bit confused can some one explain me what exactly it mean with an example??

    Hi,
    For the consolidation purpose,the data record contains at least the following fields:
    company
    company-partner
    Profit Centre
    Profit Centre-partner.
    For legal consolidation, only company-related data matters. Because Profit centre data will be taken from the other source.For management consolidation, only Profit centre-related data matters.
    There will be 2 initial data sets,  should be created as Consolidation Areas to meet the business requirements , for example ASML -Legal Consolidation,ASMM-Management Consolidation.This is as according to the best in practice approach to have different sets of data for legal and management reporting.  Management is focused on per segment, per product reporting and statutory focused on the legal entity view. 
    Each consolidation area will only hold the relevant consolidation unit.  That is, the statutory consolidation area will only hold company codes and will not post/process to profit centres at all.  The management view will hold Company codes/profit centres (sub assignment object) and the users will post only to the relevant company codes/profit centres

  • Does BPC 5.1 support separate Group/Currency dimensions for Legal?

    Hello All,
    I see in the documentation that I have for BPC 5.1 that currently the Legal Application does not support separate Group & Currency dimensions for Legal Consolidations.  Does anyone know if this is still true?  If not, is there new logic/documentation of this somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi
    BPC each application can have only one rate dimension and normally its currency but for legal consolidation we use Groups as rate type dimension and where you can include you currencies also.
    The reason being the LC copies the numbers to groups first and then consolidate and similarly it uses same logic to convert into different currencies hence you can use same dimension for both.
    Else create user defined dimension for currencies which would make life miserable.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Analyzer Security for SAP BPC 7.5 SP6

    Hi ,
    We have recently installed Analyzer add-in on our excel for Adhoc reporting on SAP BPC 7.5 SP6
    But analyzer is not considering the data security restricted for specific region.
    For eg: If a planner is assinged to EUROPE planning role and when he creates reports using analyzer he is able to see the data for all the regions(NA,EMEA,ASIAPAC).
    Is there anyway we can restrict the planners to see the data relevant to their role in Analyzer.
    we had a look at security in Admin client. Is there anyway to handle this.Thanks much.
    Regards,
    Sanjeev

    Hi,
    You can use Bex analyzer for detailed reporting. Both the analyzer and BPC reports can be connected using the normal excel functionalities (in a single excel workbook) so that BPC CV selection will be fed into Bex as variables and relevant data records are displayed in Bex reports. Performance of Bex analyzer is slow. That is one of the main reason it was replaced with BO reporting tools.
    If you are using BPC 7.5NW, then there is a standard functionality called DRILL THROUGH. Using this functionality you can drill down to detailed data in BW.
    Bex and BPC have different authorizations. You can maintain authorizations in BW roles and try to manually replicate same authorizations in BPC (there is also a how-to doc on automating this synchronization).

  • How to setup the complex ownership relationship in SAP BPC

    Hi Buddies,
    I am new to SAP BPC. For legal consolidation, I am confused how to setup the ownership in BPC. The senario is following:
        P is the parent company, S1 and S2 are subsidiaries.
        1) P owned S1 80%, ownded S2 90%, meanwhile S1 owned P 20%
            How to setup this?
        2) P owned S1 80%, owned S2 70%, and S1 owned S2 10%.
            How to setup this?
    For above 2 senarioes, how to calculate the Minority Interest? ( Using different consolidation rules?)
    And if there are subgroup, how to see the subgroup result?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Will,
    Thanks for reply... Actually, I've tried that before(putting comma after the flag "all," presuming the 71st step shows that I should have 3 members in the memberset under the ICDatasrc dimension. But it also did not work.
    Nope, step 71 did not tell us to use piping and consequently expanding the col key range.
    Thanks...

  • BPC v7 for Legal and Tax Consolidation

    We need to save data by year using the legal organization structure and currency rates in place in that year.   It needs to be saved for at least 11 years for annual report purposes and tax audit purposes.  There are over 2000 entities including parents in any one years org structure.  Has anyone dealt with large entity hierarchies saved for multiple years?  What is the best way to handle a situation like this.  I know that in Hypereion Enterprise you can consolidate different years data with different organization structures but I am not sure that BPC can handle this.

    SAP BPC's Legal consolidation provides for this very issues. If you can have a look at the IFRS Starter kit for BPC 7.0, it has already the org structure that can change from period to period. The actual hierarchy itself does not change over time, but the way its consolidated is driver by an application called Ownership in which group structures can be defined.
    This will allow you to define structures that are impossible to represent in a traditional hierarchy, eg Joint venture owned by a company's two subsidiaries.
    In the IFRS Kit, there is documentation describing how consolidation works in this way.
    This same functionality is available in both MS and NW version.
