Business consolidation

I am creating leading ledger for company based in Dubai which is the subsidairy of indian holding company. Fiscal year of both companies is different. Will there be any issue in consolidation of these two companies in business consolidation in SAP.?
Is possible to consolidate leading ledgers of two companies whose fiscal years are not identical in SAP business consolidation?

hi,
maybe you can use transaction OC50 - Gain/Loss from asset retirement
hope that helps

Impact of only balances in local currency in business consolidation

Hi,
We are doing business consolidation based on classical GL
and extracting data for consolidation from GLT3 table.
In some cases we are not getting the transaction currency
amount for certain GL Accounts in GLT3, it is giving the same amount as Local Currency.
Is it a impact of tick only balances in local currency, if so
how do we go ahead correcting it.
Thanks in Advance
Phutane

Hi,
Remove the Tick mark 'Only Balance in Local Currency' in the master record.
This should solve the issue.

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.

SEM-Business Consolidation starter question

Hi there,
It`s my first attempt in Business Consolidation, hence I`m trying to first create a Data Basis
I am referring to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/67/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and it states that I need to first create the following :-
SEM_BCS_TOTALS
SEM_BCS_DOCS
SEM_BCS_INVDTA
SEM_BCS_SUPDTA
I have checked in my Business Content and it`s not there. Please advice if I need to custom create these InfoCube/Virtual InfoCube ?
Next question would be assignment of the followings :- What exactly do I input ?
InfoProvider for MultiCube reporting
InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
Appreciate if someone can guide me through my first steps since I it`s my first time doing Business Consolidation.

Hi,
 I created a new Data Basis named Data_Basis_1.
 Selected 0BCS_C11 as Total Records Stream
 Hit 'Yes', when prompted for "Do you really want to generate the data basis?"
 Selected SEM_BCS_CHA01 as InfoObject Catalog for Characteristic and SEM_BCS_KYF01 as InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
 and it worked magically!
 So, the next logical thing to do would be to assign the Source to the Data Basis created so far.
 According to the link below, the following needs to be done ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/12/f35e32342c4bbd9b36bd18c0371c47/content.htm
 1. Create a source data basis. Enter system A as the RFC Destination. Then under InfoProvider enter your InfoCube with the planning data.
 2. Assign this new source data basis to your data basis.
 3. Create a Load from Data Stream method and select your system A as the RFC Destination and your InfoCube with the planning data as the InfoProvider. If the structure of the planning data does not match the corresponding fields of your data model, define suitable mapping rules.
 4. Execute the new method.
 My scenario here is SEM and BW both resides in the same box. There is a logical connection to SAP R/3 to SAP BW defined
 Please advice how do I proceed here onwards ?
 Appreciate your help, mate!

BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM

Hi Gurus...
Could you please send any document related to BCS (BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM )

HI. Sudheer
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
The following sections contain the documentation on the BW-based component Business Consolidation.
The documentation on the R/3-based component Business Consolidation is located elsewhere. This documentation can be accessed, for example, by calling up Application Help in your R/3-based Business Consolidation system.
Purpose
You can use the SEM component Business Consolidation (Consolidation) to determine the resources of a group (or a similar enterprise or organizational unit), the claims by others to those resources, and the changes to those resources. Consolidation also provides the means for internal and external enterprise reporting.
You can consolidate on the basis of customer-defined consolidation units. Consolidation units can represent, for example, companies, plants, business areas, profit centers, and cost centers. You can also portray matrix organizations (for example, using a combination of companies and profit centers).
You can standardize the financial data reported by individual consolidation units to adhere to the accounting and valuation standards of the group. You then translate the standardized financial data from the various local currencies into the group currencies. Finally, you can eliminate the effects of group-internal relationships (for example, from interunit trade and services). Thus, you calculate the consolidated financial statements as if the group were a single entity.
You can use the analysis functions of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) and those of SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) to analyze and report on your consolidated financial statement data.
Integration
The Consolidation component provides functions to collect master data and individual financial statement data from data files from non-SAP systems as well as SAP systems.
All SEM components are based on BW. These are:
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS)
Corporate Performance Monitor (SEM-CPM)
Stakeholder Relationship Management (SEM-SRM)
Business Information Collection (SEM-BIC)
The data processed by Consolidation is written to the BW system. There you can share the data between Consolidation and the other SEM components. For example, you can:
Collect SEM-BPS planning data for use as reported financial data in consolidation
Use consolidated actual data as the basis for further planning in SEM-BPS.
Features
Versions
You can use versions to execute parallel consolidations with different categories of data (for example, actual data, planning data, forecasting data), using different accounting principles (for example, US GAAP, IAS, German HGB), using different valuations, and/or for simulations.
Hierarchies
You can create hierarchies for almost all characteristics (for example, consolidation units and financial statement items), where some hierarchies have special, consolidation-specific properties.
Consolidation Charts of Accounts
The component enables you to use different charts of accounts for consolidation. For example, this allows you to generate several consolidated financial statements in parallel to accommodate different accounting principles.
Collection and Standardization of Reported Data
You can use online data entry or flexible upload to collect individual financial statement data and other consolidation-relevant data into the consolidation system.
You can post manual entries, for example, to standardize the reported data to meet the accounting and valuation requirements of the group.
Consolidation Tasks
You can automatically execute the following consolidation tasks:
Currency translation (which translates the financial data into the currency of the consolidation group)
Validation
Interunit eliminations (for example, for payables and receivables, revenue and expense, or investment income)
Elimination of interunit profit/loss in inventory
Consolidation of investments
Reclassification
Allocation
Balance carryforward
The automated postings are controlled by the task settings you define once beforehand in Customizing.
Reporting
After performing the consolidation tasks, you can use BW reports to analyze your data. SAP provides pre-defined BW business content (InfoCubes, queries, etc.) for this purpose.
You can use XBRL to create individual or consolidated financial statements.
Execution and Monitoring of the Consolidation Process
You use the consolidation monitor to execute the consolidation tasks and to monitor the entire consolidation process.
Constraints
The automated execution of the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred assets is presently not available.
The automated execution of consolidation of investments presently only covers the purchase method with the activities first consolidation and subsequent consolidation.
You can use manual posting to perform the consolidation tasks that are not yet automated to meet the statutory requirements for creating consolidated financial statements.

SAP Business Consolidation without Planning License

Would like to know what features are not available in BPC if the Planning License is not owned.
How would it affect the BPC BW layer? Would some cubes be hidden?
Will there be less packages available in Data Manager?
Am trying to understand , what would be the limitations (BPC developer standpoint) by not having Planning license.
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,

Business Consolidation - Flexible Upload

Hi Gurus,
In order to transfer reported financial data from files created with the RFBILA00 program (like EC-CS), using Financial Statement Version u201CCONSu201D, with item u201C8u201D for Net Result (in LiabEquity), and with item u201C9u201D for PL Result (in Income Statement), the issue is that this items 8 and 9 are no cover with the system in SEM-BCS.
Please we need help in order to generate data in SEM-BCS in items 8 (Net Result y LiabEquity) and item 9 (PL Result in Income Statement).
Thanks

It is necessary with BCS to create a one-sided reclassification for posting level 00 to accomplish the net income to retained earnings adjustment for a balanced balance sheet each period end. You should find details regarding this at SAP's website for BCS as well as in this forum.

Report painter- business area and Cost center

Hi All,
we have a requirement to create the Report painter report where in the Revenue will be By business area and cost of the particular cost center by Cost element.
i.e revenue by Business area against cost by department.
It it possible to use report painter to create such report?. when i was going through the report painter it does not allow me to pull the cost by department .
Best regards
Rajesh dhulipalla

Hi,
Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.
Regards,
Ravi

Consolidation unit's hierarchy can not be organized well in BCS

Hi,gurus here.
We are using SEM-BCS to analyse business consolidation based on BW.
In BW,the consolidation unit's hierarchy is good,but when we execute the data load task in BCS,the consolidatioin unit in BCS can not be organized as an entire hirarchy well.
What's wrong?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your answer.
Youu2019re saying that although the data is loaded is ignored in the reporting.
But if data is loaded isnu2019t it considered in the consolidation methods? As in the method for IU IU Elimination and Reconciliation or Consolidation of Investments?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.
