Consolidation question

I have a scenario at my client where I have Company Code 1 and Company Code 2 with common chart of accounts and both these have a one common holding company which is only for reporting consolidated financials. Is there a way to achieve this in SAP someway?
thanks
Raj

My thought process was more towards leveraging the Group chart of accounts or Company or Group Currency?
Below are some of the ideas I had. I am trying to validate in the system;
Option 1
Create a Company YYYY (Holding company and Not as company code)
Company Code 1 (Actual company code 1) - with XXXX CoA and Trading Partner as YYYY (Company created above)
Company Code 2 (Actual Company code 2) with XXXX CoA and Trading Partner as YYYY (Company created above)
When I run F.01 for the company YYYY and chart of Account XXXX wouldn't that give me consolidated statements?
Option 2
Assign Group Currency USD to Company Code 1 and Company Code 2 with one CoA and run F.01 with Currency Type 30.
Thanks,
Raj

ITunes Consolidation - question

Hi,
Recently I executed the consolidate option in iTunes v6 (for Windows). I noted that the physical mp3 files were stored in random order (I guess picked up from the ID3 tags).
IS there a way to determine the order of files stored into a directory during consolidation? Has the default order it takes been documented anywhere? How do I change it.
Also, if I change the ID3 tags(through Get Info option), does the physical location of the file get updated? Can I change it?

If you have the 'Keep iTunes Music folder organized’ option selected in the iTunes Preferences, all your music files will be sorted into Artist/Album folders on the PC. This is based on the ID tags, or what you have directly changed via iTunes.
If you change the information within iTunes, the program will change the physical location of the file: Folder &/or Name. Only if you have the 'Keep Organized' option selected.
Without more details about what you actually have on your PC and how you have iTunes managing your music files, I am only guessing.
If you want the standard iTunes organization, then select it. Then make sure your M3 files are properly tagged.
Post back if you have more questions.

Lock Consolidation Question

Is there any way to lock down a period to prevent it from being consolidated if it is not at OK status? The typical answer would be to consolidate, get to OK status, and then lock the entities. But, we are attempting to quickly archive out some prior period data, years 2006-2009, but thought that in order for roll forwards and other accounts to work properly we need to keep Dec 2009 YTD data. By leaving this data, but clearing Jan - Nov, we would run the risk of someone going into Dec 2009 and inadvertently Consolidating.
We could write a rule for No Input to the period, but is there another rule to prevent Consolidation on accident?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
We had a similar conversation a few weeks ago..Block Consolidation for Prior Period Unfortunately, we never heard what happened in the end.

Consolidations Question for Entities and Profit Centers

I'm currently at a client who has a requirement for Legal Entity and Profit Centers within the same application. They also want to see Consolidated results through LE and PC viewpoints. Essentially a "MATRIX" Consolidation.
Unfortunately they have many PC's and many LE's and they cross each other. Thus if we combined the dimensions it would be quite unwieldy (not to mention not sure how to handle the ownership between a LE/PC combo).
I've been told the only other way to handle this maybe through two separate applications, but that is something the client is against. Apparently the MATRIX consolidation is possible in BCS but quite tricky in BPC?
Thanks,
Pras

Hi Pras,
In BPC there is no 'standard' solution for matrix consolidation. There are two workarounds which you already mentioned:
- combining the two dimensions into one, assuming there are not to many combinations ...
- performing the consolidation twice in two seperate applications ...
If you want to achieve a matrix consolidation within one application and multiple intco dimensions, you wll have to write your own script logic, which probably can be done, but will consume a lot of efforts ... If this really is the requirement one perhaps should look for Cartheis or SEM BCS?

Legal Consolidation Questions

Any suggestions/comments on this will be appreciated.
1) What is the required structure of the ConsolView (Group/Currency) dimension? The logic results in an error "No Group Available." I put in place all property values described in the BPC Guides. The sprunconversion piece for example will run successfully if restricted to "USD". It fails when the Groups are included. What could i be missing.
2) What data should be loaded to the Ownership Application?
I have a POWN account - to load percentage ownership by entity
I have a Method account - to load Consolidation method by entity
Do I need an "Active Account"? What is this? Does anyone have a sample input template i can look at?
3) Is it possible to have the eliminations occur in designated Elimination Entities - similar to Intercompany eliminations where eliminations are performed in the elimination entity below the first common parent.
thanks,
Agnes

Hi Justyna,
the datasrc on which you enter/load your data has to be type I, so the intial setting was correct. Once you change it to type A the system expects that it needs to calculate the values and that there should be no LC values, so whatever you entered gets deleted.
As to why the package did not post anything, I can only guess. One potential problem is the ownership information, the system will only created posting if the ownership information is correctly maintained.

BPC 7.0 NW Consolidation questions..

Can someone share some information on following BPC consolidation issues..
1..Currency translation difference in consolidation has to be posted to CTA ( Currency Translation Account) . Where to inform the system to post the CTA to the designated CTA account?
2.Opening balanceloading BPC consolidation...
For how many years it is normally loaded? What is the ideal opening balance loading strategy in BPC. Is there any good document on this
3.Security Administration in BPC..
I am trying to read a good document on how to define users /security in the BPC 7NW . Can someone sent any document link or some good suggestion..

hi Naveen,
I saw you wrote knowledgeable about the Currency Conversion / Currency Translation table settings. We are using Currency Translation with destination account; and works fine with each run.
The ONLY problem we are having / or miss understanding from incomplete BPC 7.0 Documentation is. Why is the Currency Translation Adjustment account not cleard before calculating the adjustment difference between accounts. ... Currently, every adjustment (triggered by every CC run) is added to the CTA account, on top of the last difference. So if you run the CC 10 times a day, the adjustment amount will be posted 10 times. even trhough the total of adjustment may not change during the day.
This seems to be not the use which we need for our requirement, which is to point out the CTA at any given time on the spot. ... hence clearing the CTA before currency conversion, would at least bring the right result every time. (which is the opposit of the current outcome which ist Total CTA: Initial CTA + CTA + CTA + CTA + n x CTA ...)
Any thoughts? --- thanks a lot in advance, Max

General consolidation questions - HFM

1. Is it possible to consolidate in one application according to 2 different gaap's? IFRS, US GAAP?If it's in 2 application what is the way to connect between the application?
2.is it possible to consolidate the hierarchy with 2 currencies, where the data is saved? do we need different scenario? different hierarchy? different application?
3.if we want to create journals in <Parent currency adj> is there a way to copy the journals automatically to all the hierarchies?
Thanks,
Edited by: user10194788 on 05:00 28/08/2008

1. How are you separating the gaaps? If you have a different entity structure, then the answer is yes and it is very easy. If you need to do some custom consolidation, then you will need to write your own consolidation method in the rule file and it becomes complicated quickly.
2. If you run a force translate after you consolidate, then you can look at any entity in any currency.
3. If you do an entry in Parent Curr Adjs, the entry applies to the entity in every hierarchy.

Library consolidation question

does it move the music from its old location to the itunes folder or copy?

When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are "copied" to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Mac

Capital One credit consolidation question.....

Pondering this....I have 2 QS....one is a QS WMC and the other QS Visa.....one of the cards MUST be a zero balance to combine....so which card to have zero balance? Does the destination card have to be zero or the other way around? Which do I keep.....WMC has more benefits....this card needs to be zero to combine my QS Visa to it????

I can't see it being any other way than the card to be closed needing to be $0 balance. Pending transactions would seem like a hurdle on their end to officially close the account, so the account would need to be $0 with nothing pending so the close of the account could be automated.
Hope it all works out well for you

Joint Venture Associate Consolidation Translation Question

Hi All,
I have two problems with our Joint Venture/Associate Entities and the way they translate/consolidate in HFM which I would appreciate some input on if anyone can help:
1. Our implementation of HFM is YTD and each period that period's ownership percentage is applied to the whole YTD balance of the P&L which doesn't account for period on period ownership changes. I believe I can overcome this by forcing HFM to think periodically with closing/opening balances and the consolidation rules but does anyone have a neat/best practice way of doing this?
2. We have movement tables on our Balance Sheet accounts so the consolidation of the JV/Associate's P&L to the Balance Sheet for the parent works on a YTD movement basis, forming the year's closing balance which rolls forward to the opening balance in the next year. This all happens at the Node at [Proportion] and [Contribution]. I need to find a way to make sure that the consolidated amounts are at the current period's closing rate by adjusting the opening balance. I can't see a way of doing this as I don’t think there is a concept of the <Entity Currency> balance at this level. Any thoughts on this? I can think of some really messy roundabout ways of doing this but am again wondering if anyone has already worked this through and come up with a neat/best practice way.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Hi there,
Do you use the default consolidation rules or you have written your own custom rules?
If it is custom rules then both questions can be easily fixed.

SEM-Business Consolidation starter question

Hi there,
It`s my first attempt in Business Consolidation, hence I`m trying to first create a Data Basis
I am referring to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/67/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and it states that I need to first create the following :-
SEM_BCS_TOTALS
SEM_BCS_DOCS
SEM_BCS_INVDTA
SEM_BCS_SUPDTA
I have checked in my Business Content and it`s not there. Please advice if I need to custom create these InfoCube/Virtual InfoCube ?
Next question would be assignment of the followings :- What exactly do I input ?
InfoProvider for MultiCube reporting
InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
Appreciate if someone can guide me through my first steps since I it`s my first time doing Business Consolidation.

Hi,
 I created a new Data Basis named Data_Basis_1.
 Selected 0BCS_C11 as Total Records Stream
 Hit 'Yes', when prompted for "Do you really want to generate the data basis?"
 Selected SEM_BCS_CHA01 as InfoObject Catalog for Characteristic and SEM_BCS_KYF01 as InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
 and it worked magically!
 So, the next logical thing to do would be to assign the Source to the Data Basis created so far.
 According to the link below, the following needs to be done ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/12/f35e32342c4bbd9b36bd18c0371c47/content.htm
 1. Create a source data basis. Enter system A as the RFC Destination. Then under InfoProvider enter your InfoCube with the planning data.
 2. Assign this new source data basis to your data basis.
 3. Create a Load from Data Stream method and select your system A as the RFC Destination and your InfoCube with the planning data as the InfoProvider. If the structure of the planning data does not match the corresponding fields of your data model, define suitable mapping rules.
 4. Execute the new method.
 My scenario here is SEM and BW both resides in the same box. There is a logical connection to SAP R/3 to SAP BW defined
 Please advice how do I proceed here onwards ?
 Appreciate your help, mate!

FI-LC:One simple question about Consolidation

Hi.I'm a new one in FI-LC.Now I'm reading the SAP Library(Release 4.6C, March 2000).There are some word in the article of Consolidation (FI-LC)->Consolidated Entity:
This and the following sections often refer to the Implementation Guide. Unless otherwise specified, the implementation guide for Consolidation is implied and can be invoked in the R/3 Customizing Implementation Guide via Financial Accounting -> Consolidation.
And I try to found the Financial Accounting -> Consolidation in the IMG of sap but fail.Of course I could not found other function under the Financial Accounting -> Consolidation in the IMG,such as "Master data -> Companies".This question let me fell haze.
Could some one tell me the reason or give me some advice?Thank you.

Hi
Andreas is right. FI-LC has been replaced with EC-CS or SEM-BCS depending on the release. Here is some more information:

Consolidating multiple rows in 1 row, question with my SQL query

Hi, quick question.. I have a table with the following structure and data:
Table TEST
Usr id | Start Time | End Time | Dep_id |
123 | 8:00 | 10:00 | 1
123 | 10:00 | 12:00 | 1
548 | 12:00 | 14:00 | 2
549 | 10:00 | 12:00 | 3
549 |8:00 | 10:00 | 3
550 | 12:00 | 14:00 | 3
I need to consolidate start time and end time,
where the dep_id is the same,
and the usr Id is the same,
and start time = end Time.
The result will be something like:
Usr id | Start Time | End Time | Dep_id |
123 | 8:00 | 12:00 | 1
548 | 12:00 | 14:00 | 2
549 | 8:00 | 12:00 | 3
550 | 12:00 | 14:00 | 3
I'm doing something like:
SELECT MIN(START_TIME) START_TIME,
MAX(END_TIME) END_TIME,
DEP_ID
FROM TEST
GROUP BY DEP_ID;
This is consolidating, but I don't know how to add the conditions so it doesn't consolidate the last 3 rows in 1 (only 2 can be consolidated, the last row has a different usr_id)
anyone has a suggestion/solution?
thanks!

This is not a full solution but may give you a way to complete
You may spit it to two SELECT with UNION ALL (based on gap you have)
WITH temp AS
     (SELECT '123' user_id, 8 start_t, 10 end_t, 1 dept
        FROM DUAL

Continuously unanswered importing question/consolidating library

I have seen this questions asked multiple times with no answer. Does anyone know how to have Itunes scan library for other music. Also when using the consolidating library feature which "can't be undone" does it convert all your MP3 to proprietary Itune files?
Please help I have been all over this website and the ipod manual!!!!

"when using the consolidating library feature which "can't be undone" does it convert all your MP3 to proprietary Itune files?"
Cnsolidation does not convert songs. When you consolidate, any files in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder will be copied to the Music Folder and the Library will be updated to point at those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them.

Questions about consolidating Library

Please answer any of the three questions you can.
So here is my dilema, my files are all named weirdly due to downloading from amazon, walmart and other sources. Their data is all mixed up and some info is missing on the song file. I fixed all the files info in my itunes library and added album artwork but it doesn't fix it on the actual file. I know this cause when my iTunes completely messed up once and i had to reimport all my songs were back to being messed up. My question is...
1). Will consolidating my library also change the file names to match the info inside itunes and will it add/change in missing info such as "artist" or "album" in the actual file?
Also i have a problem with "change". I get used to something and if it changes too muuch and i have a hard time getting used to it i get really frustrated. My second question is...
2). Can consolidating be undone? I know it can't be undone officially but what if i were to export my itunes library, consolidate, and then if i don't like it, just import the old library file and use the original folder and organization if i don't delete it?
The most important part for me is the song information. I want it to be embeded into the file the way i have it in itunes so it works for media center and other programs...
3). Is there a 3rd party program for this that is easy to instal and doesn't take up a lot of space and is easy to remove?
Thanks.

Wow, i'm an idiot. Ok, i always do the get info thing and change it. For some reason i never noticed it actually changed the file properties. Although when my library crashed a lot of them were messed up again.
Honestly, i don't need to consolidate because all my music is in one place. My only thing was that i read or possibly misread that it fixes filenames. A lot of the filenames on my amazon songs and others are named weirdly like "03-_Sexy_*****_(FeaturingAkonexplicit)" When i wish it were just "Sexy ***** - David Guetta". Meh, not too important.
One last question then:
Is there a way to get the album art to embed itself into the file? I've noticed some of my songs have album art inhe file itself but for others i know that it's only in itunes. (unless i missedd that detail as well) When my library crashed i lost A LOT of album art that took me a very long time to find in the first place.
