Consolidation Group - Partner Company

Hi All,
First of all I am not an FI person (BWer), so if you can give a slightly simpler answer it would be great.
I am looking for information related to a field Consolidation Group- in one of the BW reports.
I have checked the details and came to know that it is a masterdata field for Company and - in this report it is taking the
same from the partner company (I beaileve it is related to partner functions - not very sure)
Kindly share some inputs related to same, like what is the functionality expected out of this? In whcih screen I can check this out and which is the database table etc.
Thanks
Jith

Hi Jith,
The business object Consolidation group is a user-defined aggregation of multiple consolidation units for the purpose of consolidation and reporting thereon.
You can find the consolidation mapping in CX1X, where you can define your naming consolidation group with the required company code assigned to it.
Thank you,
Ethiraj

  • Consolidation- Group COA / Company

    Hi Experts,
    Could some one please clarify my doubt on below.
    As we know Group coa are assigned to operative coa and these are used for consolidation purpose.
    And company also used for consolidation purpose, what is the difference ? why both required?
    Regards,
    Surya

    Hi surya,
    When you use group chart of accounts, then in gl master the field group chart of account become mandatory.
    Suppose there are many company codes in the group and each one of them have their own operative chart of account. Then for consolidation purpose each of the gl of the individual company code need to be mapped to the group chart of accounts.
    For ex. Say co code 0001 has expenses for telephone and co code 0002 has expenses head mobile expenses and both of them post this in their operative chart of accounts with diff. Gl no. And both have mapped their gl to the group coach which is communication expenses. Then at the GRP level in consolidation, just by checking communication gl, group can find out what is their communication expenses across all company codes.
    Hope it clarifies.

  • PL30 -Posting  Balancing issue for postings across consolidation groups

    Hi All
    Greeting for the Day
    We have implemented PL30 Upload for consolidation groups ,User is trying to post cross consolidation Groups  as per one sample file with fields in the order mentioned below
    100     2009     09                                                                 
    Cons Group/Doc type/C/i Activity/company/FS Item/movement type//investee company/Period value in GC
    GABCD     301     05     ABCD     11610C     125          IJKL     -500                                   
    GWXYZ     301     05     EFGH     60102C     125          EFGH     500
    now ABCD& EFGH belong to alotgether different consolidation groups GABCD & GWXYZ ,so while doing a flexi upload of the same system throws error
    as below
    Balance sheet/income statement balance 500,00 EUR
    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.
    So our understanding of the same is that for this kind of entry to balance at Legal entity level we need to have an offsetting account entry created on the flexi upload file
    But want to know if there is any automatic way of doing the same without making users enter an offsetting entry
    ANy other suggestions are welcome as well as there are lot of manual postings at this time which are time consuming so we want to cut it down by using Flexi upload
    Rgds
    Dheeraj

    We have agreed with client on getting an offsetting account posting in the Flexi upload file
    as nothing else works as it was against the accounting bit

  • Issue  when 2 consolidation group hierarchies used in one single query

    Dear experts,
    I have an issue.
    I need to build a query where we compare our forecast data (figures for year end 12.2009) to our plan 2010 data.
    The problem is that we changed (in our consolidation system SEM BCS) our consolidation group hierarchy for next year only , (for the plan :  the change has been  done from march 2010 on the version P1 used for the plan)
    Ex :
    In forecast  the structure is as below :
    We have a zone France/Spain/Portugal that includes :
    1. the business unit France 1 and the business unit includes the french company AFrench company Bfrench company C
    2. the business unit France 2 with french companies D, E.
    3. the business Unit Spain : with spanish company A, B C etc.
    4.The business Unit Portugal : with portuguese company A, B, C etc.
    Our Plan conso group hierarch is as below  :
    We have a zone FRANCE  (France/Spain/Portugal does not exit anymore) that includes :
    1. the Business unit France 1 with french Companies A, B and C
    2. the BU France 2 with french companies D, E
    In my query i want to compare a business unit profit and Loss Forecast Versus Plan.
    If i select as a consolidation group, exemple the business unit France 1 (which no longer has the same Zone above but still exists in the hierarchy), I have the following error message :
    "BW server error
    Exception condition : "HIERARCHY NOT FOUND" raised."
    My consolidation group characteristic is set up in both columns (forecast and Plan) with a hierarchy node variable based on the right hierarchy version and the right hierarchy key date, that is why i am now lost...
    I have a doubt regarding the feasability of such query...
    Many thanks in advance!!
    Armelle

    Thanks very much for your quick answer Naveen.
    Actually i saw with our technical team yesterday that we may have an issue when creating a new conso group hierarchy
    SAP note 957506
    This problem is caused by program error in the CL_RRHI_INCL_CREATOR_TID class.
    The error can occur if a hierarchy contains new characteristic values and if additional hierarchies for the characteristic are activated simultaneously.
    We may need a support package to solve this.
    As you said, both hierarchies are based on the same characteristic.
    I understand that we need pro forma presentation to compare our figures.
    But we always ask for Business units level figures, and the BUs level did not change, only the zones level.
    Anyway i am blocked for the moment, since nothing can work with this program error (even all my old queries for which the consolidation group is mandatory).
    I leave my question opened and will let you know if everything worked (or not) as I had expected.

  • 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.
    Shivaprasad

    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

  • Consolidation Unit and Consolidation Group

    Hello Experts,
    We are actually in the blueprinting phase of the SEM implementation and i had a quick question at this stage.
    For ex: Well we have individual company codes 0100, 0200,0300,1000,1100,1200,2000,2100,2200 and 2300.
    0100, 0200 and 0300 being american company codes
    1000,1100 and 1200 being european company codes
    and similarly 2000,2100,2200 and 2300 are asian company codes
    So would America, Europe and Asia be consolidation units then and then Global would be consisting of these 3 consolidation units.
    Correct me if i am wrong anywhere - I am pretty new to SEM.
    Thanks,
    Nandita

    Hi,
    Each of the Company Code will be a Consolidation Unit. So, 0100, 0200, 0300 etc will be Consolidation Units in Consolidation. The integration between Company Code and Consolidation is Company created in FI.
    Consolidation groups can be compared like Cost Center or Profit Center Groups. A group of Consolidation Units (and possibly Consolidation groups) will be come Consolidation groups. In your case, you can think of creating a Consolidation group each for America, Europe, Asia etc. If required you can create a sub group within a Consolidation Group.
    All the Consolidation Groups can be linked at a higher level where the global consolidation required to be done. The top node and groups can be depicted as under:
       GLOBAL
            AMERICA
            EUROPE
            ASIA
    There will not be any Consolidation Units under GLOBAL. Consolidation Units will be under America, Europe and Asia.
    Thanks

  • Total Transfer between paralel consolidation groups

    Hello Gurus!
    We are using SEM-BCS for legal consolidation of our consolidation hierarchy. The hierarchy stands as shown below in 04.2014:
    CG00
         CU000
          CG20
              CU005
              CU001
         CG01
              CG19
                   CU018
         CG02
         CG03
    In period 04.2014, we have to make a transfer of one consolidation unit (CU001) from consolidation group CG19 to CG20.
    In consolidation group CG19 in 03.2014, company CU001 is hold at 100% by consolidation unit CU018.
    In consolidation group CG20 in 04.2014, company CU001 is transferred to this consolidation group, as well as the participation (100% of the shares) from company CU018 to company CU005.
    The holding of the hierarchy is CU000 in CG00.
    To execute the transfer, we created organizational change company and organizational change number in the master data tab. Afterwards, company CU001 was changed from consolidation group CG19 to CG20. In the company CU001 we set the mark for first consolidation with organizational change and indicated the ID of the organizational change.
    After this definitions in the master data tab, we executed the task for consolidation group changes, obtaining the following result:
    Balance sheet items were correctly posted in group CG20, as this the destination group of the transfer. But on the other hand, the elimination from the previous consolidation group (CG19) is being wrongly executed, as the elimination is being executed in consolidation group CG00, when this should be posted in CG19.
    Could you help us understand what is being wrongly made, for the post being made in CG00 and not in CG19.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Thank you for your reply Dan.
    Responding to your questions:
    1) The operation wasn't made with indication of divestiture in period 004/2014. However I tried to test it with that indicator (divestiture with OC), and the results weren't diferent from the ones i'm obtain now.
    2) The consolidation group changes were executed.
    3) The whole balance sheet accounts. The consolidation group changes were executed at levels 02, 12 and 22.

  • New consolidation group with wrong values

    Hi all,
    We are working with SEM-BCS 6.0 and we are having an issue that we hope you can help us.
    At 012.2008 we have created a new consolidation group (N002) with the consolidation unit 0100.
    This consolidation unit (0100) also exists in consolidation group (H001) since 006.2008.
    The problem is that at 012.2008 when we use the posting logic u201Cstandardu201D the account values are correct in the consolidation group that used to exist (H001), but for the new consolidation group (N002) the account values are only the delta values.
    For example:
    011.2008
    Account 111000 = 50.000u20AC
    012.2008
    Account 111000= 60.000u20AC
    At 012.2008 in the consolidation group (H001) we have the 60.000u20AC but in the consolidation group N002 the account only has 10.000u20AC (delta)
    But if the new consolidation group (N002) only exists since 012.2008 and for the consolidation unit 0100 the first consolidation is defined as 012.2008 why is only being considered the delta (10.000u20AC) and not the all value (60.000u20AC)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards

    We are using the cumulative type of data storing.
    Sorry, you can't. It's the system that always stores data periodically. You may just load data cumulatively.
    Regardless of type of your load data in the system is always kept periodically.

    > That is, they want to consolidate both consolidation groups with the same companies but with them being considered differently by consolidation areas.
    > Is like the second consolidation group is a simulation.
    Sorry, Ricardo, I cannot read it in business terms. Different hierarchies, dif. ConsAreas, dif. groups... I do not see why and what for.

  • BCS - Divestiture  consolidation group change

    Is there a FM module that would tell me when a company was divested and what the new consolidation group would be?
    I'm not a BCS consultant.

    There may not be a FM for this.
    When you define the consolidation units and consolidation group in BCS in the context of consolidating investments and eliminating inter comoany diviidends.
    Even there, you may not get the date on which the disinvesment took place. Consolidation of investments will be carried on a "given day" on which the Balance sheet and BS are drawn.

  • Standardizing entries:Consolidation Group Change

    Hi,
    We have document type of posting level 12, to reverse the document type of posting level 10 (standardizing entries) when consolidation unit change the group or leaves the group.
    When group change task is executed, the balance becomes zero.
    However, when balance carryforward is executed, the Document type of posting level 12 is not carried forward to next year. This results in balance appearing in the accounts where postings were madeat posting level 10 in the last year.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    UR

    Can you confirm you see the PL10 entries if you run a list of totals records, standard reporting logic, and the consolidation group where the entity previously existed? 
    If you have PL10 balance sheet activity for 00 - 03/2007 and divest in 04/2007, the system books the PL12 in 04 to write down these balances.  In the "Standard" reporting logic, the system will look for all 00, 01, and 10's for company XYZ between 00/2007 and 04/2007 --> those are the dates when the company was a member of the consolidation group.
    When you do a BCF to 2008, the PL12 should not carry forward.  When reporting on 01/2008, for example, "Standard" logic will see that company XYZ was divested in 04/2007 and will look for any postings related to that company.  The PL12's are only needed during the year in which the company was divested.
    Note that you can keep feeding balances to the company and the system will keep booking intercompany eliminations, etc.  But as long as you have the master data and AFD set correctly, that company should not appear in the consolidated reports.

  • 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.
