COI Questions..

1>>The dividend income, share in profit which updated investment value in the 'Equity method', does these account has to be defined as P& L account or balance sheet account?
Is there any specific need to define these share in subsidiary's profit account as balance sheet account to meet the consolidation requirement...
2>> The investment entries which are required to be captured in the source system for 'Purchase method', are normally done using the AR/AP subledgers or done directly by journal entry. I am referring to initial investment entries only not the elimination of investment ..

Hi Dan,
Thanks.
1.>> Dividend, share in the profit has to be created as balance sheet account for 'Equity method' purposes.?
I beleive the one effect of dividend, share in the profit is P&L and the dues will be updated to investment account maintained in 'Equity method'. Let me know your views.
Does the holding company not show the dividend, share in the profit from subsidiary as income fo the period?
How about the dividend , profit share, bonus accounting in source system for 'Equity method'? is it also accounted normally by journal entry.
2>>Does the equity issues to intercompany under 'purchase method' also captured via journal entry with trading partner details? Is it not routed thru subledger?

COI Question

When the AFD Investment, Equity table is updated manually, the investor , investee details are filled in.
But if the investment, Equity data has to be read from 'Totals table', do we have to ensure thru the BDC that investor, investee data is filled in?
Is the Investor , investee fields filling in is must for both ' Investee Data' and 'Equity Data' , when the data is entered in ECC? or can it be filled in BI transformation logic for this accounts? is there any other options..
Please let me your views, experience on this...

Yes the BDC should require investee for investment data. However it is not necessary for this information for equity data.
In my experience, the load-from-datastream mapping has a condition for the investment account to map trading partner to investee. That solves the requirement for investee on investment account.

COI Joint venture

Could some one calrify the following on the COI
Question 1
For jointventure consolidation, the US GAAP says to follow Equity method if the subsidiary is incorporated one. If it is not to follow proportational consolidation.
What does it mean by incorporated. Does this means US registered company?
If so all JV's outside US can be consolidate on the basis of proportional consolidation?
Question 2
Suppose A is holding 60% stock in Joint Venture B and using proportional consolidation. I understnad reclassification function can be used for this. If so at the period end do we have to load the periodical balance each month thru flat file. Do I have to maintain Joint Venture B as company in BCS?
Or is there any alternative mechanism?

Hi,
A joint venture (JV) is an association of two or more parties formed to diversify risks, achieve operational efficiencies, and share in costs and revenues. Sharing is proportional according to each partyu2019s interest in the venture. Each cost object that is used to post joint venture accounting expenses must be assigned to a single joint venture.

COI Complex Question.

To put it in example there is one legal consolidation group (ABC) and another consolidation groups (XYZ,123 )which does not require to be included in legal consolidation. Group XYZ is accounted by equity method and group 123 is not requiring any consolidaiton but in same system for management help purpose.
When the joint venture is started it will be under legal consolidation group and it will be consolidated using Purchase method. But JV A1 is completed the major % of ownership will be transferred from ABC to another groups(XYZ) which exist in the same system. After divesture the Joint venture A1 will is accounted using Equity method for ABC, but XYZ needs to account using Purchase method. If I change the accounting technique for A1, then it will not be consolidated in XYZ also. But XYZ also need to run the consolidation for their purpose in same BCS system.
How to ensure that A1 company is consolidated in XYZ , after major sale off by ABC.

4> So only if we report using virtual cube the logic will be correctly read? Suppose if we want to datamart the data to another cube and report will not read the logic? I will be facing this scenario.
Does it means that intercompany elimination will eliminate all AR/AP irrespective accounting method?.
For example A & B have accounted in ECC for intercompany AR/AP transaction. 'B' is data is maintained in ECC, but it is not consolidated since 'Equity method is assigned to it. Will the eliminatin will take placein BCS?
If so how the virtual cube logic will help in interpreting in consolidation reporting.

COI Equity Accounting Activities

Hi Guys
I have a question regarding activities available for equity accounting.
There only seem to be two i.e. Net profit and Dividends received. I thought there was a third activity for bonus payments??
Am I wrong?
Cheers

Hi Dan
Thanks for your quick reponse. I do know about this in the Appropriation of earnings but perhaps I should explain better what I am trying to do.
I have an associate. In my location of values I have the following in the Equity Adjustment Holdings
Net Profit
Dividends Received
Other Comprehensive Income
I have also set up the required equity posting entires for the three steps that I have defined above.
When I run COI the activities shown are just two. Net Profit and dividends received. For disclosure requirements I must show the investor company share of:
Net Profit
Dividends Received
Other Comprehensive Income
So I need equity accounting in COI to perform three activities. It performs the first two but not the third. I was almost sure there used to be three equity activities available in the past.
How do you deal with the above because this is an IFRS requirement??
Regards

Equity Method Questions!!

I would like to generate an accurate u201Cprofit/loss on valuation of equity method applicable stocksu201D following equity increase/decrease of equity method company.
Example
Holding Entity, u201CHEu201D that would like to generate consolidated financial statements, has 40% stock of equity method company, u201CEq001u201D. The book value of the 40% stock is 200,000.
When invested initially, the stock holderu2019s equity at u201CEq001u201D was 400,000 and the current yearu2019s net income is 15,500.
Questions
1.How should u201Cownershipu201D of equity method company configured?
A.PCON=100%, POWN=40%, PMIN=60%
B.PCON=40%, POWN=40%, PMIN=0%
2.Is the balance sheet amount of equity method company to be uploaded (1) the closing balance or (2) the increase/decrease in the current year?
3.Which process is a better choice between (1) setting u201CDestination Equity Accountu201D from consolidation business rules or (2) setting an extra business rule regarding equity method?
Test Results
After setting PCON 100% & 40% at ownership application, closing balance at 415,550, and current period net income of 15,500, the test results are as follows;

For automated equity method acounting (not proportional) it is necessary to correctly configure consolidation of investments (hint: execute COI check setting program to determine any inconsistencies).
Once COI is configured it is necessary in the master data to assign the equity method to those cons unit where it is to be applied. These master data settings are time dependent and should be assigned accordingly.

COI Parent unit

Group      ABC has following investment pattern:
ABC owns 100% of company A> Company A own 100% of company A1 & A2
ABC owns 20% of company B> Company B own 100% of company B1 & B2
Now which company has to be flagged as parent in 'Accounting technique' assignment?
I have flagged Company A and company B as parent, but still system gives the message at COI execution saying that...
''There is no parent unit in consolidation group combination''. Am I missing something for the parent defintion...
Edited by: Gokul on Aug 5, 2008 8:01 AM

I have question with following scenario...
There are 3 companies A.B,C.
Group 1
                Company A
Group 2
               Company B
               Company C
Company A own 80% of Company B , B own 75% of COmpany C.
1. Am I correct to make Company A, B as parent in respective group?
2. As per your current statement I need to include Company B in 'Group 1' also to generate the MI at Group 1 level. otherwise B's MI would not be generated at group 1 level. Is it correct statement?
3. if so do we need to include everychild under ...means in this example Company B need to be included in 2 groups?)

Duplicate consolidation unit in hierarchy ( where COI is active) in EC-CS

Hi all
I ve a question regarding duplicating(multiple assignments) existing Consolidation unit in the Hierarchy(tcode:CX1X)
There are several groups where One of the COI Cons Unit is now duplicated ex: 1000 cons Unit
Ex: GROUP1
Cons UNit = 1000
Group4
Cons Unit = 1000
Cons Unit = 2000 - PU
Now we are adding new COns Unit along with CU = 1000 in New Hierarchy
Group6 -
( New Group Created and added new cons units: 2001 -2003)
Cons Unit = 1000 - PU
cons Unit = 2001
Cons Unit = 2002
Cons Unit = 2003
With Above Cons Unit - 1000 Triple in 3 Different Groups.
I did tested COI, Then System Posting 3 Different Documents by Group Level. CAUSE of 3 Group Level
>> The fact is The real COI assignment is at "Group4" >>>
Please Advise, if this is normal or i should take care differently?
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thx
Ramana

Hi Dan
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I agree with you and also I am expecting same in system behaviour. But system is not proposing Full Transfer instead proposed Partial Div, Increased CAP/Red Cap and Step Acq process. this is what I have acheived in the system.
Exicsting Investor CB A PU reduce 100 % Invest -2000 .00 Ttype 140 TP CU B ( take out 100% share) in CG1
CB D PU Increase 100 % Invest 2000.00 Ttype 140 TP CU B in CG2
still i am not able to move full transfer from old CU A - new CU D with INVESTMENTS.
any thoughts please
thanks in advance

COI Method in Accounting Technique

Hi
my client is looking to clear system Generated Goodwill where this is offset with Negative Goodwill.
We were looking to impair both the +ve and -ve Goodwill. However the current config posts the Amortisation Balance sheet entry to seperate accounts than the Capitalised Goodwill/ accounts.
There is 1 single COI methiod assigned to all companies. My question - if we create a seperate COI method for the different Amortisation treatment, are there any downfalls to changing the assigned COI method in the accounting techniques, during the fiscal year. Also once changed, can this be changed back again in the next period ?
Regards

Dan
I am trying a few things in a sandbox, and we do not get PL02/12/22 docs, however upon CoI, you get a method change doc.
I have come across another issue in that I have gone back to the period in which GW was created, updated the GW activity to amortise the GW, and then rerun COI. The amortisation is posting at different group levels than the GW. This seems like a bug, but I was wondering whether anybody had come across this before.

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

Fresh J:
A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.
