Company code consolidation

I have a question regarding Company consolidation.
I have five company codes each using the same Chart of account.  Now I want to do the consolidation of company codes.  How do I go about it ?  Please advise the best method.
Can I use the group chart of account and create a financial statement version and select the group account numbers in it ?
If that is the case, I am doubtful about how we can adjust inter-unit business eliminations, etc.
When do we need to use EC-CS ?  Should I use this in my scenario ?  Do I need to create a group chart of account for EC-CS and assign the same to the operational chart of accounts ?
If my company codes use different chart of accounts, how the same company codes are consolidated ?
Please guide me briefly.
Regards

  • Company code consolidation impact to BW

    Hello,
    Our company is going to consolidate 2 company codes.  The data in ECC will be changed at the database level.  the question is how do we sync up BW?  Do we have to do reloads of all the data?  This is a huge effort and risky with the LO extractors.  what are some best practices?

    Hi Rajiv,
    Thanks for your prompt response, I just need to understand that by using Special GL functionality can I avail the following attributes in Consolidation:
    1) Intercompany eliminations (eliminations for Acct Receivable/Payable)
    2) Elimination of Intercompany Profit & Loss in transferred Inventory
    3) Consolidation of Investment.
    Would appreciate if you could throw some light on EC-CS and the basic configurations required for Consolidation.

  • ECCS - Adding Profit Center to Company Code Consolidation

    Hello Gurus,
    We use ECCS for our consolidation. We do only Legal consolidation and we also use Functional Area as a sub-item category for all the IS accounts. We are now trying to add Profit Center as one of the attributes. Initially, we planned to use the sub-item category, however, we can have only one and it's already taken by Functional Area. Is there a way I can
    1. Add PC as an attribute
    2. Enhance ECMCT to allow additional Sub-item?
    Appreciate your advice and guidance.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    The documentation at the menu path: t-code SPRO > Enterprise Controlling > Consolidation > Add Characteristics states:
    Add Characteristics
    The SAP standard consolidation database includes various preset characteristics, such as the consolidation unit, the financial statement (FS) item, the subitem, etc. If the information requirements of your group demand additional fields, you can define your own socalled custom characteristics.
    This step shows you two ways to add characteristics to the consolidation database:
    You can add up to five subassignments to the FS item.
    You can add navigation attributes to the characteristic consolidation unit. The system then automatically assigns the same attribute to the characteristics partner unit and investee unit as well.
    After adding a characteristic, the system generates the associated ABAP Dictionary objects and maintenance views.
    To the consolidation database, you can also add characteristics based on structures that already exist in the SAP system (e.g. Region). However, you can also add characteristics, the structures of which still need to be generated.
    Recommendation
    Since custom characteristics extend the consolidation database, you should carefully examine which characteristics are to be added. SAP recommends, in particular, that you first finish creating the new characteristics, and that you make sure that want to use this set of data, before you activate the new characteristics and start the generation. This way you can avoid time-consuming deletions if a characteristic must be removed. Also, keep in mind that you can no longer delete a characteristic once you have posted data with the characteristic.
    Example
    Examples of subassignments for FS items are the Product Group and the Geographic Region.
    An example of an attribute for consolidation units is the Company Type.
    Standard settings
    The standard SAP system already includes the following subassignments for FS items:
    Partner unit
    Subitem category and subitem
    Transaction currency
    Acquisition year
    Acquisition period
    Unit of measure
    The standard SAP system already includes the following attributes for the consolidation unit:
    Country
    Company
    Consolidation business area
    Profit center
    Controlling area
    The attributes company, cons business area, profit center and controlling area are particularly useful when you use the integrated collection of reported financial data from your consolidation units.
    Activities
    1. Reorganize the field catalog. When this is done, the system copies the system field catalog into the customer field catalog. Choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
    If you use integrated collection of reported data, during the reorganization you should include SAP's standard attributes in the selection. Note that, initially, these attributes are not included in the Reorganization selection screen.
    2. If desired, create one or more new characteristics.
    Enter the technical name (field name) of the new characteristic. The technical name must begin with the letters "ZZ".
    Also set the appropriate indicator to define how the structure of the characteristic is to be built.
    Technical Background Information:
    Description, type, and length are properties of characteristics that you can enter directly or define by assigning a data element or domain. Data elements and domains are ABAP Dictionary objects that act as a central store of table field properties:
    A data element defines the meaning of a field in business terms with texts and a reference to a domain.
    A domain describes the technical properties of the field and defines permissible values for the characteristic if either of the following conditions is met:
    - There is a list defining fixed values
    - There is a reference to a check table
    Normally data element and domain assignments are used to refer to check tables. You can, however, create a characteristic without any validation or texts by assigning a standard domain (for example CHAR07, NUM12).
    Ways to create a characteristic:
    a) Assigning a data element
    Activate this indicator and assign a data element. The domain assignment is made by assigning the data element.
    Note: If you run the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory and the system reads the required additional financial data from the totals database, you need to create the characteristic "product group" and assign it to data element FC_PRGRP.
    b) Assigning a domain
    Activate this indicator, then specify the meaning and assign a domain. By assigning a domain you define the type and length of the characteristic, and possibly you refer to fixed values or a check table.
    c) Referencing a characteristic
    Activate this indicator, then specify the description and set a reference to another characteristic. This has the effect of assigning the domain of the referenced characteristic.
    d) Creating a characteristic with a new data element and check table
    Activate this indicator, the specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system generates a new check table for the characteristic.
    e) Creating a characteristic without a check table (using a standard domain)
    Activate this indicator and specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system does not generate a check table.
    Caution: Assigning data elements or domains does not itself ensure that validation, reading characteristic value texts, and Possible Entries Help will work as expected. The following conditions must be given:
    The domain must have a check table or fixed values.
    There must be either a text table with references to the check table, or the texts must be in the check table itself.
    These conditions are always fulfilled by fields in the standard field catalog.
    3. If needed, define compound relationships between characteristics in the detail screen of Characteristic Maintenance.
    Some characteristics are dependent on other characteristics; that is, the values of dependent characteristics are meaningless in theabsence of values for independent characteristics. Such a relationship is called a characteristic compound. Technically, a check table then contains a key that consists of two parts.
    Example: The Region, a dependent characteristic (check table T005S), forms a compound characteristic with the Country, an independent characteristic, because a region can be maintained or interpreted only if a country is specified.
    Note the following restrictions when defining compounds:
    Compounds can only be defined for characteristics that have a check table.
    When a data element/domain is assigned, a compound is predefined by the existing check table.
    Compounds can only be defined while creating a dependent characteristic. You do this by specifying the independent characteristic in the detail screen.
    Only single compounds are permitted. Multiple compounds cannot be made.
    The compound must be defined while creating a new characteristic, and before the new characteristic is saved. This is because the save process generates the check table for the characteristic.
    Note: You do not use characteristic compounds to create regular assignments between two fields (such as, consolidation unit A having the local currency USD). Rather, a compound characteristic describes the structural dependency of one field on another (as in FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 01 being a different item than FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 02).
    4. Specify further properties of the characteristic:
    Define the display options and the sequence number of the characteristic for reports and so forth.
    Activate the Subassignment indicator for all characteristics used as subassignments for FS items.
    Activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator for all subassignments whose value is determined by the breakdown category (e.g., as with the characteristic subitem category).
    Activate the Default value indicator if applicable. Then the characteristic appears in the implementation step Define Default Values. A default value is not necessary and cannot be set if you activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator
    5. Enhance the checking specifications if needed:
    For characteristics without a standard check table, you can enter a text table, a text field, and a long text field. The text fields must use the field type character. You can also specify a view name, usually a view of the check table and text table.
    If the system fails to automatically determine the transaction codes for displaying and changing the master data, you can specify them manually.
    6. To the characteristic consolidation unit assign any newly created characteristics as an attribute. Only independent characteristics can be assigned as attributes to consolidation units.
    These attributes are used for sorting your consolidation units.
    Note: Prerequisite for assigning attributes is the reorganization of the field catalog, that is, you need to have copied the field catalog into the customer field catalog. To do this, choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
    7. Save and activate the new characteristic.
    The Save process stores the new data and, if applicable, creates new tables and views in the ABAP Dictionary.
    The Activation process sets the status of the tables, views, data elements, etc. to "active". It also generates the objects that are necessary to enable the consolidation functions to process the new characteristics.
    You can activate several characteristics in one step by choosing characteristic maintenance of all characteristics in the initial screen, selecting and activating the inactive characteristics.
    8. After activating the characteristic, you are asked whether to generate the view modules. Confirm the generation.
    If you exit Characteristic Maintenance and want to ensure that all view modules were generated correctly, choose Environment -> View maintenance modules -> Reorganize.
    9. Assign the new characteristics to field groups, if applicable.
    Field groups are groupings of characteristics. These let you structure the fields in the field catalog. Individual fields may belong to multiple field groups.
    Further notes
    Choose Extras -> Log display to display the logs for the activities Save, Activate and Delete.

  • F.01 - extract to consolidation on company code level

    Hi everyone
    We're trying to do an extract to consolidation on company code level (1). When popup dialog "Filename for extraction file" appears we can choose between presentation server or application server.
    When choosing presentation server and logical filename ECCS_FILE we get error GC027 (Error opening file c:\temp\EXTRACT_CS_CO.txt).
    Doing so choosing application server however works (whereas path isn't the same).
    We already checked and double-checked settings of logical file name and logical path in transaction FILE.
    Any suggestions what to do or isn't it supposed to work via presentation server?
    Thanks in advance and best regards to all
    Renaud

    I have not seen anything that you have mentioned to enter file path?
    Is this being customised for your Company?
    How did you download this before?

  • How to link ECC Company code with BCS Consolidation unit

    I have to create new consolidation unit in BCS, parallelly in SAP R/3 also I have created a company code.
    I could read following in the forum :-
    The Company Codes from ECC are assigned to the characteristic Company in BCS, thus creating a one to one relationship between ECC & BCS company codes.
    BUT HOW TO DO THE SAME.
    Also any advise on Profit centre and cost centre etc in BCS in line with ECC. This is first time I am configuring in BCS,

    Typically in ECC company codes are assigned to a company. The company is typically used for cons unit in BCS, but it is not uncommon for company code to be used as cons unit.
    When company code is used, it is an attribute of the characteristic company and thus in the load mapping, the company is mapped to the attribute company code. This results in company code being mapped to company.
    Otherwise, if company code is in the databasis as the cons unit role, then it is simply mapped to company code to company code.
    For profit center and cost center, these are typically assigned the role subassignment, but it is not uncommon for profit center to be a cons unit for a matrix consolidation. However, these characteristics must first be included in the totals/databasis infocube.

  • Assign company code to consolidation staging ledger

    Dear Guru,
    When I execute tcode GC41, there is an error message , it said :
    No ledger for consolidation has been specified
    Message no. GC191
    Diagnosis
    No consolidation staging ledger was allocated to the company code.
    System Response
    If an extract is to be created for consolidation, then every company code must also be allocated to the consolidation staging ledger. This means that every company code is posted directly to two ledgers.
    Procedure
    Every company code which is to be transferred to consolidation must be allocated to the consolidation additional ledger. The consolidation additional ledger must point to the GLT3 data base.
    How to assign company code to consolidation staging ledger?
    I check Tcode OCZ2, there is Ledger 9 (Additnal Consolidation Ledger), should I create new ledger for consolidation staging ledger? How to make it?
    Thanks before.

    There are some steps that one must do in order to populate the Cons tables.
    Some of them you may find in SPRO t-code. SAP.help.com is not very bad in this also.

    Hi Ruchika,
    In fact i didn't tell you the scenario.
    2 company codes currency is SGD.
    This they want to do consolidation without new gl & EC-CS.
    This is where the hicup is,  we have to choose Business area consolidation only.
    But the question here is should we need to have 2 chart of accounts.
    In my view there has to be only 1 chart of accounts.
    But my doubt is whether we need Group chart of accounts or not in this scenario.
    Please throw some light on this friend/friends.

    its clear  plant assign to 3 company code,what about depots and distribution channale it work independent or assign to company code?
    If depots are located in differnt city,then It should be plant not storage location and assign to 3 company code
    then if it is the case what about Distribution center(functions as like depot with slight changes of sampling being done & no safety stock)?
    Is it feasible & how to map this in SAP?
    for this take help of sd guys
    It may be plant or sale organization if not sale organization ,then create it plant ,but no manufacturing activity and not under MRP
    Distribution center acts as co-coordinator for getting the goods from FG stores and sending to individual depots as per the requisition
    This can be achive with  Stock transfer between plant

  • Consolidated balance sheet for 3 company codes having different fiscal year

    Hi,
    In our current organisation, we have 3 company codes assigned to the company.
    All the three company codes use the same chart of accounts.
    Among the 3, 2 company code are having the same fiscal year variant, controlling area and tha same local currency.
    One company code has different fiscal year variant , controlling area and local currency.
    Now is it possible to see the balance sheet in f.01 for all the 3 company codes.
    If no, could  anyone let me  know if I have to use the multiple ledger concept to do thid.
    I am aware that multiple ledger concept appears when the same company code has different fiscal year variants , we can  see tha same posting in different fiscal year variants.
    I am not sure if I have to use the multiple ledgers to see the consolidate balance sheet for the three companies.
    Please provide me with a clarity on the same.
