Consolidation group change without ownership change

Hi All,
I require help in resolving this particular issue.
I have a company called 1000 which is having a subsidiary called 5010. both of the fall under the same consolidiation group called CG1.
Now I have run the First consolidation as of March 2009 and carry forwarded the balances in 2009.
Now 5010 has invested in 6 more companies and has become a holding company to them.
Now I thought of two options
1. To just create these 6 companies and enter the investment details for these companies and run the COI.
2. To create a new consolidation group called CG2. Put the 5010 company along with its 6 newly acquired subsidiaries under this consoldation group.
I ma exercising the option 2 by creating a new consolidation group as it will easy to get the reports at CG2 level.
As you can observe there has been no transfer of investment happening here. How do i take care of such a situation.
I read the posts regarding the Consolidation group changes but all posts were dealing with change in ownership happening. In my case there is no change in ownership as 1000 still continues to be the holding company. But only difference is that earlier 5010 was existing as a end node but now It has to have a consolidation group of its own where in it will have the holding company 5010 along with its 6 subsidiaries.
Pl give me a solution.
Thanks in advance.

facts of the scenario
1. Did first consolidation in period 012.2008
2. There is a company 5510 which belongs to CG1 as of first consolidation which was in period 012.2008
3. 5510 has invested in 6 new companies in period 003.2009
4. I want to create a new consolidation group CG2 and put the existing company 5510 along with 6 new companies under this group (client requirement)
5. I created a new consolidation group CG2 and assigned the company 5510 to this group along with 6 new companies
6. In consolidation group CG1 mentioned the divesture period as 003.2009 (DABP ticked) for 5510 company
7. in Consolidation group CG2 mentioned the First consolidation period as 003.2009 (FCEP unticked) against 5510 company
8. The figures are not accurate at the CG2 group level.
Should I be doing anything else apart from the above steps.
Will appreciate a fast reply as it is stopping the go-live
Thanks in advance

LR brush sensitivity changing without me changing the settings

I have a question about LR CC, in the brush tool, I have a preset that I use for lightening red spots on peoples faces. It works majority of the time, but every now and then the brush (without me changing the settings) becomes super sensitive and edits seriously overboard, I'm sure its something I'm doing without realising it, can you help me figure out this issue? Thank you, Regards Tanya

ADF data table - posting changes without row change

Hi,
I’m using JDevloper 11.1.2.3.0 to build a master detail page (for ex, departments and employees) where both master and detail are editable. So, I dragged and dropped the master data control (departments) on the page as an ADF table. Then I dragged and dropped the detail data control (employees) on the page as an ADF table (the detail control is the one inside the master data control). Each table is inside a panelCollection.
At run time, the page displays fine and when I change the selected row in the master, the detail table changes correctly.
In the toolbar of each panelCollection, I added:
• The createInsert operation of the corresponding data control.
• A “save changes” button to commit the changes: the button is not the commit action of the module but instead it is a toolbar button linked to a method in the bean that execute the commit operation (using the bindings) and then reload the master data control (both master and detail buttons points to the same action).
This is also working: if I change a field in the master table or create a new row and click the “save changes” button of the master table the changes are correctly posted. Same for the detail table if I change a field in the detail table or create a new row and click the “save changes” button of the detail table the changes are posted.
The problem is when I add a row in the detail table for ex and click the “save changes” button of the master table (without changing the selected row in the detail), the changes are not committed. Same happen if I create a new row in the master table and clicked the “save changes” button of the detail table (also without changing the selected row in the master).
It seems that the problem is that the table is not posting the changes when I directly click the “save changes” button of the "other table". If after adding a new row, I change the selected row before clicking the “save changes” button data is correctly saved whatever “save changes button” is clicked.
So how can I make the table post the changes is this case?
Or should I make the “save changes” button of the master table for ex disabled when I change something in the detail table and vice versa? (If yes how? The disabled property of the “save changes” buttons is currently: #{!bindings.Commit.enabled})
Or should I have only one “save changes” button that saves all the changes on the page?
Or …
Is there any useful link i can check?
Thank you.

Webpage background color changed without me changing it.

The background color on my webpage changed and I dont think I did anything to the code. I have tried several things to fix it but its stays gray. It was a maroon color (#660000). I have tried moving the <body bgcolor="#660000"> before and after the closing head tag, and changing the number for a new color. Nothing works. What is it Im missing?

Thanks in advance.

Random point and shoot rarely helps with web pages. It just leads to invalid code and web pages which don't work.
See http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rumcnow.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automa tically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Needs a little cleanup. Help yourself by learning a little HTML and CSS.
I suspect you've created a background color in the CSS file for your contact form and, by adding a link to that CSS file in your home page and moving the body tag to make it invalid, you've inadvertently overridden the BG color on the home page.
As a starting point, in the HTML file of the home page
change
</style>
<body bgcolor="#660000">
</head>
to
</style>
</head>
<body>
In the CSS file http://www.rumcnow.com/ContactForm.css
change
body {
background:#E9E9E9;
to
body {
background:#660000;

HI,
The link also requires you to be able to Answer a Video Chat (so you need the Internet speed)
It is also only about the iPhone and not the version of the Mac.
Basically it does not help move things forward.
Based on it's age I ignored the new Post.
However if other people are also subscribed to the Thread like I am I can see more people returning in which case it needs some explaining.

SEM-BCS Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes

Hi All,
Is the task "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" only implemented when Consolidation of Investments has also been implemented?
Does "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" have any value on its own?
Any comments, replies or suggestions most welcome.

Hi,
I think that prep for cons group changes is independent (but supplementary to) from CoI.
See what is said in help:
"When in the middle of a fiscal year a consolidation unit is either acquired by a consolidation group (acquisition), divested from a consolidation group (divestiture), or <b>changes its accounting technique</b> (method change), the following data must be adjusted:
- Reported financial data
- Standardized financial data
- Consolidated data with posting level 20"
As you can see, not only consolidated data are to be changed, but also Standardized and Reported.
Moreover, as is seen above, changes of accounting technique will also trigger such activities.
So, my answers:
1. No
2. Yes.
Best regards,
Eugene

Execution of preparation for consolidation group changes

Hello,
In 1/2011 there was a change in the consolidation units hierarchy.
A consolidation unit moved to upper consolidation group.
I cannot find in the master data of the consolidation unit , where should I update the FIRST CONSOLIDATION DATE,
and the LAST CONSOLIDATION DATE.
Best regards,
Odelia Volfovich.

Look at the master data of the cons groups - both the initial cons group as well as the new cons group.
If this truly is a vertical move up the hierarchy, the initial cons group should have a period of divestiture, as 001/2011.
Because the cons unit has always been a part of the higher up cons group via the lower cons groups ownership, the new cons group should have period of first consolidation the same as that of the initial cons group.
The cons unit should remain in both cons groups until at least the end of the fiscal year and in many cases, depending on the reporting needs for year-over-year comparison reporting, it should remain for an additional year or more.

Consolidation Group Changes

Dear Team,
Through support I can resolve Issues ASAP, Once again Thanks a lot.
I need Information, in my client Cons Unit Hierarchy Structure as under:
For Example:
We have the following Structure
Cons Group Q1 ---> Cons Unit A, B
Cons Group Q2 --> Cons Unit C, F
Cons Group Q3 --> Cons unit D and Cons Unit E
In current Period Cons unit E removed from Cons Group Q3 and added in Cons Group Q2 and also need not maintain Cons Group Q3, and assign Cons Unit D to Cons Group Q1
Expected Hierarchy:
Cons Group Q1 ---> Cons Unit A, B and D
Cons Group Q2 ---> Cons Unit C, F and E
I suggest to run Task Cons Group Change, and there is no COI in my client. Give me suggestion what procedure I have to follow for this either Acquisition, Divestiture for the above.
Thanks & Regards
madhu

To move cons unit E from Group Q3 to Cons group Q2, add E to cons group Q2 without removing it from Q3. Then in the cons group master data for cons group Q3 indicate the period of divestiture for cons unit E. For the cons group Q2 master data should automatically include cons unit E with period of first consolidation per the period when it was added.

Consolidation Group Change and Consolidation Activity

Hi Experts,
I am new in SAP consolidation, I have a question regarding the difference between the function "consolidation group change" and "consolidation activity".
If I read in the sap library, these 2 functions are separated, but if I look at the content, I saw some similarity where the consolidation group change also included the investment activity like acquisition and divestiture.
Could anyone explain what are the difference between these 2 function?
When I was a user, if the group acquiered a new cons unit, I just add a new cons unit in the consolidation group hierarchy, assign consolidation method, add the additional financial data for the ownership percentage (activity = first consolidation), enter the reported financial data, run CI function and add one more column in my report painter.
When I read SAP library, I saw the "consolidation group change" function talking about the consolidation activity, now I wonder, what are the difference? What is the business scenario for using the "normal" CI activity and the "consolidation group change"? Please anyone advise. Thank you.
regards,

Normal C/I is a regular acquisition or divestiture. Cons Group Change could be movement of a company from one consolidation group to another (i.e., parent A sells company 1 to parent B). Or you own a company 20% and purchase an additional 60% and must switch accounting technique from Equity to Purchase. BCS will need to book Cons Group Change entries to account for the acct technique change. (In the past, at 20%, you would only book equity pickup, or equitization entries, to the parent as PL30 adjustments in the CoI. Now you must bring in the complete balances of the company due to purchase method of consolidation. BCS books consolidation-group specific adjustments to do this.)
Example....
"Normal C/I activity"
New company A needs be consolidated in Cons Group 1 starting in 03/2007. Add the company to the Cons Group master data, set the accounting technique, update additional financial data w/ activity First consolidation and load data for the new company. Run COI
"Cons Group Change"
Company A is consolidated in Cons Group 1, but starting in 06/2007 they will be sold to a parent in Cons Group 2. Update the Cons Group master data...setting company A to divest in 06/2007 from CG1 and to First Consolidate in CG2 starting in 06/2007. If using Org Change logic, create an Org Change number and define a sender/receiver relationship for CG1 --> CG2. In additional financial data, create a total transfer activity w/ org change logic from CG1 to CG2. Run Org Change task and BCS will zero out balance sheet related to company A in CG1 on posting level 02/12/22. In CG2, similar postings will book "catch up" entries in 06/2007 to bring full balance sheet into CG2. In CoI, company will be transferred to new parent.
Hopefully that makes sense...

BCS 604 SP6 - Change to Consolidation Group extra features

Hi All,
We've upgraded from SP0 to SP6 and noticed some new options for CCG config:
IN UCWB we have rthe following new options:
1. under Consolidation area --> Settings --> Consolidation Functions used, we have:
(checkbox) Separation of Goodwill from Investment (ERP 2005)
2. Under Changes to Consolidation group we had:
- Selected Items
- Task
- Document Type
- System Utilization - NEW
> (checkbox) Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
Help on "1" reveals:
If you select this checkbox, you enable the separation of goodwill from the investment relationship.
Use
If the Separation of Goodwill from Investment function is active, you can manually enter a goodwill entry on a separate consolidation unit for the Reclassification of Treasury Stock activity. The system does not post a minority interest to effects from valuation allowance or currency translation. The system suppresses the posting of minority interests on the assumption that no investment and equity data exist for a separate consolidation unit for which you have entered a manual goodwill entry. (However, the system does not check whether investment and equity data on the separate consolidation unit really do not exist.)
Help on "2":
Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
If you select this checkbox, you enable the system to post the other comprehensive income in the Total Divestiture activity with an effect on net income.
Use
If the Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture function is active, the system posts the group value of the other comprehensive income in total divestiture to the income statement.
Dependencies
You define the items for other comprehensive income as a subset of the equity items in Equity Data Customizing on the Other Comprehensive Income tab page. You specify there for each item for other comprehensive income the relevant posting item in the income statement.
Anyone used either of these extra features,
found them useful, any problems?

I have not used the 1st "Separation of Goodwill".
The second feature is needed when Cons of Investment (COI) is not used. I actually configured Cons Grp Chgs with this and subsequently implemented COI in the same system. What happened is that this feature disappeared from Cons Grp Chgs and reappeared in COI > Settings > Appropriation of Retained Earnings.
I hope this helps.

Consolidation group change: Balance sheet/income statement balance 14,560

Dear All,
While performing the consolidation group change task, system throws the error message :
Balance sheet/income statement balance 14,560,497.62- INR
Message no. UCD1011
Diagnosis
The document to be posted is not completely in balance.
Entries involving items of the balance sheet or the income statement must always have a zero balance to ensure that both the balance sheet and the income statement are balanced, respectively. This is not true in this case.
System Response
Entry cannot be posted.
Procedure
Correct the amounts for the balance sheet items and/or income statement items.
I have checked the COI Settings and not showing any error.
I have analysed the problem and found that system is not picking one FS item 107501 i.e Profit and Loss CY.
Can any one suggest me how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
G Vinod

Hi DAN,
i ll elaborate what i wanted to convey.
When we upload
1. TB Equal to ZERO
2. Net of BS items may not be equal to ZERO
Eg: if September 2010 (FY is April to Mar) file is being uploaded, the profit till the period September will be in PL items. so to the extent of profit element will be the difference in BS Items.
when u run profit calculation task, after data upload and validation, system will pass the following entry,
In case of Loss:
BS - Profit and loss - CY -           Dr
PL- Profit before MI         -          Cr
BS- BS Clearing A/c                     Cr
PL - PL Clearing A/c                    Dr
when u run PCC, system ll pick these two items *BS - Profit and loss - CY and BS- BS Clearing A/c. so obviously, posting cannot be done.
Please tell me if u still not understand
Thanks and Regards,
G Vinod

Consolidation Group Hierarchy - Change Setting

When I right click to consolidation group hierarchy> display then I get tab of settings where check box
saying there is only one root node is selected. I need to remove this check box but unable to do so.
From where do i remove this checkbox
When I select change then nothing is displayed.
Navigate: master data>cons group> right click and display_con group will open with settings tab
and there need to remove check box which says only one root node. how to remove this ?

I think even it is a system setting we can change it but not getting the way.
when i run transaction
UG_MD_BASE_FIELD and search for Field name
UNIQUE_INDEPFLD, I get ONLY_ONE_ROOT as a base field, when i select this base filed I get multiple options, but unable to figure out which one to select.
Will appreciate if you all can work with me on this issue.

COI not reading equity data after consolidation group change

Dear experts,
I am running the consolidation of investments task for a new group that has been created on 012.2009. This new group CG2 is a child of an existing one CG1, and all the consolidation units that I have in 012.2009 under CG2 were in 012.2008 under the CG1.
In my new group GC2 all the units have as first consolidation period 012.2009 and on the parent group they have as last consolidation period 012.2009.
The problem is that when I run the COI task the system does not read the equity data for these consolidation units. I have both, equity data and Investment data defined to be read from additional financial data. The system reads correctly the investment data for the parent consolidation unit, and tries to eliminate it, but as it does not read the equity data of the child so it takes the value to consolidation a difference, that is incorrect.
Does anyone know what I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Sónia

Hi Sonia
i dont want to confuse you as Dan is guiding so far. let me put my thoughts some here.
CG1 12/2008
   - CU - A    Parent    12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU- B                   12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU - C                  12/2008 to 999/9999
do you have any another sub node for CU-B and CU-C? as B has investment in C
New Group: 12/2009
CG1
   - CU -A    12/08 to 999/9999
   - CU - B    12/08 to 12/9999
   - CU - C     12/08 to 12/2009
   CG2 group supose to be like this
CG1
    -CU-A
    -CU-B
       I--- CG2
             CU - B   Parent 12/09 to 999/9999
             CU - C                12/09 to 999/9999
     - CU-C
Now with above scenario you can invest in C from B and system will treate as FIRST CONSOLIDATION based on AFD Investments/Equity
How did you maintain B investments in C at CG1 12/08 level?
and or    as per Dan
You have to run PREP for CONSOLIDATION GROUP CHANGE task before CT task and after Elim Taks but before COI task
thx

Change to Consolidation Group and avoid using CoI

Hello,
We would like to use the BCS functionality Change to Consolidation Group but we don't want to implement CoI Consolidation of Investment at all. All the threads I have read seem to indicate that one has to set up CoI. Please can you advise.
Thanks

Hello all,
thank you for your responses - where under Consol Grp Change do I find the setting for the the appropriation of retained earnings? I can see the one for CoI.
Also I have had a look at both the Preparation for Acquisition and Preparation for Divestiture
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/EN/0c/ab0240536fe369e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/EN/63/af0240536fe369e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
which give some examples of what to expect in terms of postings and reporting re posting levels. but would still appreciate more explanations of the Posting Logic when one runs the task if you know.
Thanks

Change channel group mode without down time.

Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way to change the channel group mode on our access switch from mode on to mode active.
The port on access switch and core switch are configured like this : channel group X mode on
The goal is to change this config to channel group X mode active with no down time of the switch.
Please let me know if you have any ideas to do that.
Fabien.

I don't think its possible to change a Channel Group Mode without downtime.
Changing from On to Active will cause the port to start sending LACP messages in order to form an LACP Port-Channel.
As you are taking a link down, I suspect spanning-tree will also try and reconverge.
The downtime should be fairly minimal though, do you have a maintenance window?
