Consolidation and Harmonization

Hello,
Couple of question from MDG Side.
Is consolidation possible with MDG,
for example, i have my data in various ERP systems (ERP1, ERP2, SRM, CRM, ERP3) i want the data to maintained in an ERP4
which will be my central hub for data.
accordingly harmonization part of MDG from the above example ERP4 should send data back to the ERP1, ERP2, SRM, CRM and ERP3 system as in when require.
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek
SAP MDG is used for data governance, especially when you want to create new data or change existing data. MDG is used on top of single ECC system data, so consolidation cannot be done by MDG. For consolidation purpose SAP MDM can be used.
Harmonization can be done by MDG. Data replication is a important feature in MDG. The data which is created or changed, after being approved by data stewards and master data specialists is stored in masters like MARA, LFA1 and can be replicated to different systems like ECC, SRM, CRM

Designing the consolidated and line item report for specific material

Hi
i have a R/3-report and it run only for 7-materials.That means we need to only those 7-materials in the selection screen of report.
Then we will get each material corresponding line item details(material no, profit center, variable cost, quanity, price, financial loss(this is calculated based on quantity) , Utility Consumption(calculated based on price, variablecost) ) in one report.
Another report will give same for consolidated values of financial loss, utiliy consumption.
so how can i design the consolidated and lineitem details report for each material. pls let me know

0VENDOR_ATTR - Vendor Master Data Attributes
0FI_AP_51 - Check Register Line Items
0FI_AP_4 - Accounts Payable Line Items
It should be noted, however, that this won't get you everything that you need, so you may have to create enhance one or more of these DataSources and create User Exit ABAP code to get the required data. Also, the 0FI_AP_51 DataSource isn't available if your source system isn't ECC6 EHP3 or higher. If your source system is less than that, you're going to have to create a generic DataSource for the data from the PAYR table.

Difference Between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation

Dear Experts,
Kindly help me to know
1) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Theoritically?
2) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Technically in BPC?
3) What is impact on /Difference on Business Process Flow in BPC in case of Legal Consolidation or Management Consolidation? (What should be done in Management COnsolidation and Legal COnsolidation in BPF in BPC)
Thanks in Advance
Ritesh

True accounting/legal consolidations encompasses the three following elements:
1. the general ledgers of the entities
2. elimination entries between entities (inter entity transactions such as sales/cost of sales, a/r and a/p etc.)
3. adjustments for partially owned entities
Using the legal app, rate and ownership apps, and the proper configuration, outlooksoft achieves a legal/accounting consolidation. Accounting consolidations also link to a legal hierarchy of entities.
Any consolidation that is referred to as management or financial consolidation etc. can have differing connotations. In Outooksoft software, management consolidations does not include item 3.
However, when the terms are used by the client they can have different meanings. They could mean either :
A true legal consolidation BUT tied to the Management hierarchy of entities (as opposed to a legal hierarchy) OR An aggregation without item 3 above and tied to the Management hierarchy of entities.
9 times out of 10, clients usually want the first rather than the second alternative. Financial statements
rolled up using legal consol should equal that using management consol.
However, when clients do planning, they may have their entities plan as if they were fully owned. They could also have their entities provide actals for less than 100% in the case of partially owned entities. In these cases, you have to adjust appropriately.
From an Outlooksoft config point of view, you need the legal, rate and ownership app and the related configuration for a legal consolidation. Management consol depends on client definition and client practice in the data that they collect from the entities.
In the area of BPFs, the key difference between legal and management COULD be the steps (1-3) and the maintenance of the different hierarchies and ownership values.
Hope the above helps.

Separate Appsets for Consolidations and Planning

Hi BPC Gurus
We are on NW 7.5 version. We are implementing Consolidations and Planning. Our Planning functionality has 9 applications and Consolidations will have 4 applications.
At this point we have decide whether to have one Appset for both Consolidations and Planning or two different appsets.
From the business perspective, there is no dependancy between the two. We never move data from planning and Consolidation, nor do we share dimensions like account, entity etc.
Could any one give me the pros and cons of having one appset and two appsets in this case
Thanks
Anjali

Because you don't have dependency between the consolidation and planning I think it is a recommende to use separate appset.
Pro:
- security separation and maintenance easier (heaving just one appset means a more complex security which has to be manage for each user for all applications (consolidations and planning)
- Load of dimensions are done separate which means faster login (dimensions are load per appset so heaving one appset means an user will load for 13 applications. heaving two appset user will load or 4 or 9)
- Appsets maintenance can be done in paralel - Optimize application can be done in paralel for applicationm from different appsets but it can not be done in paralel into same appset)
Contra
- Reporting with data from both planning and consolidation in the same time easier when you have just one appset.
I hope this will help you.

Payment Consolidation and Delivery Consolidation - BP Master

Hi,
BP Master has an option for Consolidating BP under the Accounting Tab. There are two options that follow: Payment Consolidation and Delivery Consolidation.
Can anyone help me by explaining how this option helps and where and how does the effect take place?
Regards
Sudatt

Hi Sudatta......
Read the below text......
There may be cases where you will need/want to consolidate the business activities carried out with
several business partners to specific business partner.
Example
You have a customer who is chain store. Each branch is a separate business partner with whom you do business
(receive orders, issue deliveries, etc.) but the payments for the goods you deliver to the different branches are
received from the main office of the chain store. In this scenario, the consolidating business partner is the business
partner master data record that represents the main office, and the consolidation method will be Payment Consolidation.
As a result, the A/R invoices you issue for the different branches, will be assigned to the main office business partner
to pay.
End of the example.
Specify here the business partner to consolidate the transactions of this business partner.
Payment Consolidation Select to display invoices of business partners that are linked to the same consolidating business partner in the Incoming or Outgoing Payments window.
When the head office pays for all invoices sent for its branches. In a specific payment document, you can select the branch business partner directly.
Delivery Consolidation Select to display deliveries of business partners that are linked to the same consolidating business partner in the Invoice window.
When the head office is invoiced for all deliveries shipped to its branches. In a specific Invoice document, you can select the branch business partner directly.
In short this option is used when transactions involved more that 1 party.

Rahul

What is the Difference between Consolidation and Aggregation

Hi Masters
What is the difference between Consolidation and Aggregation? i think both are same, what is the exact difference in-terms of HFM and Essbase?
regards
Taruni

The differences lies in the mechanism used to calculate and store the value. Dynamic members such as parent accounts or customs, derived views, parent periods, or <Total> members in the value dimension are performed on the fly in the HFM app server's memory without any discrete action on the user or adminisrator's part. These are aggregations in this context, and are distinct from amounts that are calculated and then stored in the HFM database which are either the result of direct data entry (from data loads or journals) or calculated amounts resulting from HFM's rules. "Consolidation" in your question would be one of the stored, calculated amounts in HFM.

Differences between Hyperion consolidation and Oracle Financials Consolidat

I'm looking for a document- recommendations etc. explaining why using Hyperion Consolidations versus Oracle Financials Consolidation ?
Thanks
Marcel

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
SAP ====> ORACLE
GL ==> Book In ORACLE
Document Number ===> Invoice Number
Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

Music does not appear in iTunes after consolidation and xfer to E drive

I followed the instructions listed on the web site for xfer of the music to an external hard drive. After I did the consolidate portion, the music did not show/appear in the e drive folder created for the music. The music does not show in iTunes now. I have not deleted anything since I can't see music in the e drive folder.
I am currently copying the music from the older folder to the newer folder to see if this helps.
Where does the consolidated music go?
Can it be shown in iTunes at all now that it has been consolidated?
Will pod sync now since music does not appear in iTunes?
Any help or information would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Rather than move individual files you might want to move the whole collection:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Library consolidation and disc space

Dear Mac community
When the latest iPhoto 6 update (6.06) was installed, it didn't contain my active iPhoto library. I realized that it was probably because that library a) wasn't named iPhoto Library, and b)wasn't in the "my pictures" folder. The larger problem was that there are multiple libraries in different locations in my HD, some with imported (copied) photos, others originals.
Solution was to consolidate all libraries into a new one. Bought and tried to use iPhoto library manager, and started merging 2 libraries. After some time, I got a "startup disc nearing capacity" notice, and realized it was copying all my photos to the new library, not moving them. I cancelled the migration with 165mb left on my HD.
Questions:
1) What is the best way to consolidate several photo libraries, with a mix of good and probably corrupted files?
2) When doing that consolidation, how can I keep within the capacity of my HD
3) What libraries/folders can I then delete without risk of losing my original images?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Let’s get the really important stuff out of the way first:
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
When the latest iPhoto 6 update (6.06) was installed, it didn't contain my active iPhoto library
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
1) What is the best way to consolidate several photo libraries, with a mix of good and probably corrupted files?
As you’ve tried, using iPhoto Library Manager.
2) When doing that consolidation, how can I keep within the capacity of my HD
The only way to do this is to make space on the HD.
3) What libraries/folders can I then delete without risk of losing my original images?
Once you’ve merged two libraries, it depends: dis you merge Library A into Library B? Then you can trash Library A. Did you merge A and B and into a new Library C? Then trash A and B.

Two vexing consolidation and library problem

1. About 3 years ago, the "C drive on my computer was just about full. I moved iTunes content to the "D" drive, unfortunately without consolidating. On that computer, all content -- whether purchased or added before or after the move from "C" to "D" -- could be accessed and played equally well.
I just bought a Western Digital NAS, and a second computer. I consolidated the iTunes content from the "D" drive to the NAS. After several hours of pouring over many different library files on both the "C" and "D" drives, I was able to copy the correct library file onto the NAS (the "W" drive) and pointed iTunes 9 on both computers to the correct library file on the "W" driver. All 5,500 items in the library are listed in iTunes. However, no content added to iTunes before I moved the music from the "C" to the "D" drive (on 12/31/06) can be located in iTunes. Attempting to locate that content manually on the computer where the music was stored on the "D" drive will, in fact, locate the content on the "D" drive of that computer. Attempting to locate that content manually on the new computer will, in fact, find it on the NAS (the "W" drive)
I still have on the old computer a number of old "library" files. A few have create dates of 12/31/06, the day I did the move. Some have earlier creation dates.
So, how can I get the necessary information concerning the pre-move content to the NAS ("W" drive) so that iTunes will recognize and play that content automatically like all of the content that post-dates 12/31/06?
2. As noted above, I have consolidated files to the "W" drive, and pointed iTunes 9 to the library on the "W" drive. However, after exiting iTunes, and then re-entering, the program is forgetting that I have specified the "W" drive and the associated library as the place for content. I have indeed specified "W" as the place where iTunes content is located, in the "preferences" and "advanced" pane.
Thanks!

Diff between valid for consolidation and aggregation property in ODI column

Hi John,
I have a query regarding the columns when we revers the dimensions in ODI. In the columns tab of each dimension, there is valid for consolidation column. What does this column to when we select it. Coz any how i will be using the aggregation for plan type where i will be giving the consolidation operator. Could you please let me know the differences between them
And also there is one more column Operation. What does this do

Hi,
You can ignore the "valid for consolidation column" as far as I am aware it is not used.
Operation is for different types of load, these are
Update (default)–Adds, updates, or moves the member being loaded.
Delete Level 0–Deletes the member being loaded if it has no children.
Delete Idescendants–Deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants.
Delete Descendants–Deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does
not delete the member itself.
Cheers
John

Rebuilding with CLI - Capital One Consolidation and PC

Started rebuilding my credit in January after opening a Cap1 Platinum Mastercard (SL $300, now $1300) and Discover It Secured Card ($500, hopefully upgrades to an unsecured card in Jan 2016). Applied and was approved for the Cap1 Quicksilver One Card (SL $500, now $1500) in April. Requested a credit line increase for both Cap1 cards in early July and was approved. Received an additional CLI today for my mastercard as part of credit steps. My QS1 receives an automatic increase in 3 more months. July was a great month! Was also approved for Bloomingdales ($800) and Nordstrom ($300). Feeling great about my rebuilding journey in only 7 months. Can't wait to consolidate both my Cap1 cards after my QS1 hits 6 months. By then, I should have over a $3000 total limit for Cap1. I've read that their Venture One must have at least a limit of $3000. After consolidation, will it possible to PC to their Venture One?

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
