Consolidation process at a specific consolidation area level

Hi,
We are implementing SEM BCS 4.0.
In this release is possible to work with original financial statements in all the perimeter and also consider the manual adjustments only in each consolidation unit/area individually. That is, we donu2019t want to use the cascade consolidation process (postings at a lower consolidation area level are updated/considered at upper consolidation area) because we only want that each adjustment only affects the specific consolidation area and not the upper ones.
Is this possible? We do not know any configuration to have this method available in this release.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Hi,
For me it's a little bit strange requirement. In order to achieve this you just do not need the consolidation system at all.
If you, anyway, use the BCS system, then use the flat cons units hierarchy: a fictitious head with all your units underneath. Do whatever operations you need and do not use reporting from the head, only from the units.

  • BCS: unable to determine consolidation area for data basis B1

    Dear gurus,
       I have two consolidation areas B1 and Y1 on the same data basis B1. I want to report the  data of consolidation area Y1. I created a query which had the restrictions on consolidation chart of accounts, fiscal year variant, version, fiscal year, posting period and group currency. But when I opened the query with BEx Analyzer, the error prompted like below:
       Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
       Error reading the data of InfoProvider ZCB_B1V11
       Unable to determine consolidation area for data basis B1
    The row of the query is Item. I found if I activated the hierarchy of Item, this error occured and if deactivated the hierarchy of Item, the error disappeared.
    Please advise. Points will be awarded if helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jin Ming,
    Something is wrong with your hierarchy.
    In my case items hierarchy works fine.
    May propose two cases:
    1. Which version of your hierarchy, defaulted 100 or not? If not - wait for trouble.
    2. Hierarchy are global for all consolidation areas. If you hierarcical structures in different cons areas assigned to different special versions, the I'd not exclude some controversies between globality and special version pecularities.
    Hope this helps.

  • Secure one consolidation area - authorization question

    Hi,
    I want to secure one consolidation area within an SAP SEM Sandbox (on Netweaver 2004 basis) for the consolidation workbench (ucwb).
    The background is, that i´ll have on consolidation are for traiing purposes with a showcase (that i want to secure) and the other consolidation area´s can be used for sandbox purposes.
    I try to find the correct authorizations object to avoid these one cons. area from changes, but I don´t find anything.
    Do you have some idea´s, which authorization object(s) I can use for this purpose?
    Regards,
    Dennis

    Dear Mani,
    thanks for your answer. But how can I control the authorization check for the consolidation area? Which elements are responsible for this authorization check, that I have to assign to the users, which are not allowed to change the consolidation area in the consolidation workbench, or is this authorization check only valid within the Consolidation Monitor?
    Hope you can help me,
    Regards,
    Dennis

  • Data Basis & consolidation area

    If you want to activate SAP delivered example, follow the notes:

  • SEM BCS - Error in Consolidation Area

    Dear Experts,
    When i save my consolidation area, there is an error message.
    it is "Syntax error in GP_ERR_UCDTYPE, row 8.880".
    The Diagnosis said "Component called REFYEAR already exists".
    I can not found "REFYEAR" in my system.
    I am using info cube 0BCS_C11.
    Please help....
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    Though I am not an expert in this area I have found the following information with a similar problem in another customer that maybe useful:
    "On the basis of your problem description it seems that you assigned in
    the data basis maintenance the `SEM-BCS info-object catalogue` for
    characteristics and key figures to the two info-object catalogues (on
    the first tab strip of data basis maintenance). This makes the trouble.
    Please read the F1 help carefully and if you need an extra info-object
    catalogue, then please create one. Please note that the SEM-BCS standard
    info-object catalogues are NOT appropriate for this purpose.
    F1 help:
    "InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
    InfoObject catalog of the SAP Business Information Warehouse to include
    additional characteristics.
    Use
    You use this field as follows:
    In a data basis, the InfoObject catalog contains the quantity of
    additional fields that can be selected on the Additional Financial Data
    tab page for investments and equity.
    In a source data basis, the InfoObject catalog portrays the definition
    of an external field catalog, which can be used in a method of the
    category Flexible Upload, if a data basis was allocated to the source
    data basis."
    In order to remove the info-object catalogs you can use the transaction
    UCWB01.
    Hope it helps .

  • Unable to determine consolidation Area for Databasis AF

    Hi All,
    I wanted to check BCS results in BW I found the following errors in running query:
    1. Error reading the data of InfoProvider BCS_C1V11 (Virtual cube)
    2.Unable to determine consolidation Area for Databasis AF
    Can anybody advise, what sould be the probable reasons? I regenerated the consolidation areas, still its same error. Any thoughts, what I should look into.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ashwin Nagar

    Hi Ashwin,
    You need to specify BCS mandatory fields when doing a listcube from the virtual cube.
    Period
    Year
    Controlling Area
    CS Chart
    CS Version
    BCS Version (or any other custom versions)
    Fiscal Year Variant
    Group Currency
    If you are trying to get consolidated results, make sure cons group is a field for display from the cube.
    Also, if running for a consolidation group, you must enter the cons group you want plus all groups which roll into it.
    For example, if you have
    CG 1
    - CG 2
    - - CG 3
    - CG4
    and you want to get results for CG1, you need to enter CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4.
    This is why List of Totals Records is preferred.
    Hope that helps
    - Chris

  • BP to specific sale area

    Hi,
    I want to make customer /BP to specific sales area for specific country.
    And mainly we already have customers from different countries but we want to make now to each customer have to belong to specific sales area of that country.
    How can we extend this for existence system and how can we make for new customer to specific sales area and country.
    For all countries we are maintaining only two number ranges B2B and B2C.
    Thanks in Advance for your help.
    Regards
    Rami

    Hi Rami,
    Try to do this using sales org structure..
    Sales offices and sales groups are very specific to your country structure..
    Thus maintain sales office and sales group in ur Customer Master and thus you will sagregate them at country level..
    Worst come worst, if a customer is located in multiple office,, then you can use BP heirarchy and define the masterdata for all the country specific customer for the main customer and can mapp into system..
    Try to keep it as standard as possible.. because business process would anyways be served.. only diff is may be by standard lots of data needed to be maintained in the system.
    Best Regards,

  • Country specific Dep Area

    Hi All,
    If there are two depreciation areas say 01 and 10 and 01 dep. area is my Book Dep area and 10 dep area is my country dep area.
    So now when i run the dep posting, should the dep be posted to both the dep areas.
    I am aware of how to configure this technically, but i need to understand the process - how do we post the dep in the country specific dep area.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ankur

    Hi
    As SAP only one depreciation area can be real (posting) and other depreciation area are normally for reporting purpose. But, we ca have a derived depreciation area which is deemed as real depreciation are which can be posted.
    Like
    Dep - 01
    Dep - 10
    Derived depreciation is suppose 51 which (DA-01 less DA-10)
    In this case you can deem depreciation area 51 as country specific depreciation area.
    Thanks

  • Error in the specifications for area 01 in ch.of dep

    Hi,
    In our business scenario there are two different chart of depreciation which are Spain and Morocco. Spain has currency EUR and Morocco has MAD. Spain asset CWIP process has done successfully but Morocco has the problem found. While doing actual settlement through KO88 for CWIP asset settlment, one error is being occured as "There is an error in the specifications for area 01 in ch.of dep.
    Message no. AC385
    Diagnosis
    You specified that depreciation area 01 should take over values or depreciation terms from itself. This specification is incorrect.
    Procedure
    Correct the specifications for area 01.
    Best Regards,
    Samrat Roy

    It seems you have kept 01 as TTr in OABD for depreciation area 01
    If the 01 is real depreciation area, do as below
    Go to OABD
    Depreciation area - 01
    TTr should be 00    (You should not keep anything other than 00 here)
    Thanks

  • Tare weight specific to HU level - how calc. total Tare ?

    Working on 4.7 ext. set 200
    Wish to implement Handling Unit Management.
    When a HU is generated the system appears to only take in to account the packaging specific to that level when calculating the Tare weight.
    For example
    Gross weight of carton + content = 1.5 kg
    Tare weight = 1 kg
    Content (loading) weight = 0.5 kg
    10 cartons (+content) are packed in to one Shipper (weight 2 kg)
    SAP will calculate the weights for the 'Shipper' HU as:
    Tare weight 2 kg
    Loading weight 15 kg (10x1.5)
    Gross 17 kg
    We need to declare the total weight of packaging so the weights/calculation we require per Shipper (and same logic at higher levels e.g. pallet) are:
    Tare weight 12 kg (10x1 + 2)
    Loading weight 5 kg (10x0.5)
    Gross weght 17 kg
    I can sort of see SAP's logic but many bodies e.g. EU, want to know the weight of the packaging, in total and not simply of the highest level. Does anyone have a solution or ideas on how to address this ? For example make use of a particular Badi/Exit and two of the 'free' HU customer fields is one thought I've had.
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • Rounding value at MRP area level

    Hi All,
      We are using MRP areas at storage location level. Also we have maintained rounding value , one at plant level in mRP1 view and one at MRP area level for that particular storage location.
    Now when we run MRP for that storage location specific MRP area one would assume that it picks up the rounding value maintained in that MRp area,but it is picking up the value maintained at plant level.
    Am I missing some setting or is it std. system behaviour..pl. advise.
    Tks..kiran

    Hi Inguva
    Can you give more detail of your solution?  I have the same problem, MRP is creating requisitions using the lot size parameters from the MRP area but when converting to an STO using ME21N the lot size parameters from the plant are applied.
    This usually increases the PO quantity beyond the PR quantity and I get an error message "06076 - Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full"
    It's driving me crazy so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Capture livecache values in planning area level.

    Hi Experts,
                     We have got a typical requirement, where we need to capture livecache values for safetystock(SAFTY) KEYFIGURE maintained for a particular product, location and planning area.
    we are using function module  BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 to retrieve the required results. Every thing is working fine but to retrieve the required value , we have to pass mandatory parameters (planning book ,data view and Selection ID as mentioned below) into the BAPI.
    Issue:-  This will work for interactive planning  for a particular planning book, data view and selection ID but not for "Mass processing".  We have searched and tested different BAPIs but could not get the required one.
    So, would like to know if there is any class method or bapi or normal functional module where we can pass planning area, product and location to capture livecache values for safetystock(SAFTY) KEYFIGURE maintained based on Macro.

    Krishna,
    I think it doesnt make a difference, The Keyfigure values are not Planning book or Dataview specific, they are only planning area specific. So if there is a value in one Planning book/dataview the same value will be seen in any planning book or dataview within the same planning area. Also, it is not mandatory to use the selection id. Instead you can use the it_selection internal table under the tables parameter of the BAPI.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Mass change of Reorder point at MRP area level

    Hi,
    I have another constraint.
    MM17 will mass change the reorder point at plant level.
    Is there any process to do mass change of reorder point for a particular MRP area level.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    When I am doing mass change of reorder point through MM17 tcode selecting MARC table,it will chnage at plant level and getting reflected in material master once I save changes.
    But I need it at storage location level.I tried to do this through MM17 tcode selecting MARD table,which will ask for storage location data(i.e storage location level).But after I save the changes,changes are not getting reflected in Display material-MRP1 view.
    Can anyone pls suggest why this is happening.
    Thanks in advance.
