Ritesh,
Hierarchies in SEM-BCS may have different structure, depending on share of ownership and your purpose.
Your hierarchy:
>
>           Sub Cons Group1
>
>                             Cons Unit 1   (Parent Unit) 20% hold on Cons unit 2 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
>                             Cons Unit2    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 1)
>
>           Sub Cons Group 2
>
>                             Cons Unit 3   (Parent Unit) 1000% hold on Cons unit 4 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
>                             Cons Unit 4    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 3)
Answering to your questions is impossible because:
1. 20% ownership usually means not a subsidiary, but an associate company, that is another accounting method.
2. Ownership in 1000% is impossible.
