Consolidation unit change - error: company already used in hierarchy

Hi all,
I have Company 1018 moving up in the hierarchy from congroup B to congroup A.
I have configured the divestiture date as 12/2010 for Company 1018 in congroup B.
When I try to add company 1018 to congroup A, I get errormessage that u201CCompany 1018 is already used in hierarchiesu201D that it exist in congroup B.
Could anyone tell me exactly how to add company 1018 to congroup A to avoid this error message.
I understand that Iu2019m not doing this in correct way.
Thanks in advance,
Sveinn Muller.

Hi,
SAP Note 702649 refers to when consgroup is moved
SAP Note 721376 refers to when cons.unit is moved, as it is in my case
I'm doing this according to below description in SAP Note 721376
the only problem is when I add 1018 in consgroup A in my example, I get mentioned error.
CG1
|- A First consolidation in 2003/012 (Start) divestiture accounting > (grater than) 2005/006 (End)
|- CG2
|- A First consolidation in 2003/012 (Start) divestiture accounting in 2005/006 (End)

Consolidation Unit change from Group A to group B

When I drag consolidation unit from group A to Group in CX1X and then I run CXCd and error message popped stated below;
Entry cannot be posted :B/s and I/S balance of 1.7million.
I think it might be due to moving from one group to another group. please advise and it is very very urgent. What is the solution to this problem.? It is giving the same error when i try to drag back to the same group.
Thank you
Selvam

Hi,
Is it a Production system? In Consolidation if a Consolidation Unit is moved from one group to another it will have serious repurcursions. In one of the projects in test system we had this problem. SAP OSS Notes also suggest that Consolidation Unit - if transaction data is already posted - it should not be moved. Especially if Consolidation of Investments is configured it is going to be a problem.
Thanks

HT5621 Trying to change the email on my apple ID but get error message that the email I want to change to is already used for notifications. What do I do?

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.

Consolidation unit change

Hello, dear colleagues !
The client works with BCS ver. 4 BW 3.5.
The earliest date in the system is 12/2006.
The client mainteins one legal hierarchy of companieis and one hierarchy of Profit centers (matrix scenario).
The client needs to make some changed in a profit center hierarchy from 01/2009, wich is to "moove" some PCs from one node to another in the same hierarchy.
The client does not want to create a new PCs hierarchy with the new structure, because in the BEX reports the user needs to choose the PC hierarchy, so they don't want to rely on user to remember wich hierarchy he needs to choose.
What is the best practice to do changes like this?
Thanks,
Lilia

The best practice in the situation is to:
- set parameters to 01/2009
- make hierarchy changes
- update cons group configurations for periods of divestiture/first consolidation according to SAP guidelines (be sure to get this right)
- for transfers create cons group organization change number (if applicable)
- post additional financial data for transfer or divestiture/acquisition
- execute tasks, including cons group changes tasks

"No Fiscal Year Variant assinged to consolidation unit" error for 3EC_CS_1A

Hi,
I'm getting following extraction error using RSA3 for datasource 3EC_CS_1A in R3 (4.7) system. Could someone shed some ideas on how to fix it.
No fiscal year variant assigned to consolidation unit 0000000000000000XX.
same error is coming for all consolidation units.
I checked ECMCT table and it has records in it.
I went to "Consolidation unit change" using CX1N and found out that above consolidation unit has our customer defined "standard fiscal year variant assigned" for the corresponding ledger listed in ECMCT.
What else might be missing & how to fix it. same error in both DEV & QAS. Appreciate any inputs

I checked T009 and see that fiscal year variants are maintained. K4 as well as "customer defined standard fiscal year variant". what else might be missing.

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 unit's divestiture

Hi all,
We are implementing SEM-BCS 6.0 and we have a question.
In 011.2008 we defined in the Consolidation Group that a consolidation unit had Divestiture Accounting at Beginning of Period.
But in 012.2008 when we execute the upload of data from BW it uploads data to the total of records although the consolidation unit was already divested in the prior period.
Should we delete this consolidation unit from the hierarchy?
Because we read in this forum, that after a divestiture the consolidation unit should only be deleted from the hierarchy in the next year.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your answer.
Youu2019re saying that although the data is loaded is ignored in the reporting.
But if data is loaded isnu2019t it considered in the consolidation methods? As in the method for IU IU Elimination and Reconciliation or Consolidation of Investments?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Total transfer of equity consolidated unit using organizational change

Hi,
We have a scenario where we are doing total transfer of an equity consolidated unit (100% owned) from one company(old parent) to another (new parent)
The new parent is one level above the old parent in the hierarchy.
We've used organizational change logic and have set the divestiture dates/flag in the sender consolidation group and accordingly first consolidation dates/flag/OC number in the receiver consolidation group.
The investment AFD is submitted with "total transfer" with OC number.
There are multiple scopes of reported data for equity method in our configuration.
Each scope(equity pickup) is inturn created by reclassifying several equity accounts to a single BCS only item(the scope item)
When we run COI, the system posts one total divestiture document at the old conso group (where old parent is situtated) and posts a first consolidation, total divestiture, total transfer documents at the new conso group level (which is one level above the sender conso group)
The total divestiture document at upper level is reversing the divestiture document posted at old parent.
The first consolidation document jas only statistical items posted in it.
The real document to check is the "Totals transfer document" which actually reads the investment (at old parent and new parent) , the equity holdings adjustment data(the scope items) and adjusts the investment in subs at new parent with offset going to divestiture account but of double the value than the expected scope vlaue.
Issues faced:
Q1. Consolidation group change tasks (at PL02, 12, 22) are not posting any documents. Is there an issue? Since I am using these tasks for the first time and dont know if this is possible.
Q2. The total transfer document is reading the equity holdings data as double the expected value( for each of the scopes of equity method). What could be the possible reason? How to fix this?
Q3. I would appreciate if someone can clarify what kind of postings the system makes as part of divestiture/transfer in case of equity consolidated unit transfer.
Please help!
Thanks,
AJ

Thanks Dan.
Appreciate if you can help on the below points as well.
1. As part of divestiture/transfer postings: The system is reversing some Previous Year(PY) equity accounts into themselves. How can we get the system to eliminate them by posting to COI Clearing account. Basically, we dont want the PY accounts to be touched?
For the Retained earnings - PY account, the system is actually posting to COI clearing account.
These PY accounts are part of some scopes for equitization.
Is there any link between the "balance carry forward" - list of items table and the divestiture postings?
Does the system check this table while posting/reversing the equity(PY) accounts?
2. I want to understand the sequence in which the system posts the documents at the old parent and new parent (group) level.
The same activity number is there for Total Divestiture, total transfer documents posted at new parent level and total divestiture document posted at old parent level.
Does the system follow bottom up approach? Thereby creating total divestiture document at old parent level.
Followed by documents at upper level (new parent level)
Also , at the upper level(new parent level), does it post documents in the way they are shown in the log? (We havent changed the default sequence maintained in UCWB - COI settings). so it will post first consolidation doc, followed by total divestiture, followed by total transfer docs at the new parent level?
Is this the reason for the double value being posted at new parent for equity holding data?
Will studying the statistical items (corresponding to eliminated equity holding items) be relevant here to understand why at upper level there is double the value being posted by system?
Thanks.

Controlling area already used for org. unit problem

Hi people,
can you please help me with one problem, my customer is upgrading SAP HR from 4.6 to 6.0 and now we are testing QAS system.
When I create new or. unit in PPOME, I have Cost-centre inherited from the org.unit above, but when I want to put another Cost-centre it gives me the next error "Controlling area HR01 already used for organizational unit XXXXXXXX".
The same procedure worksin PRD system which is on version 4. 6. Could you please help me what is wrong because i am not able to change cost centre in the QAS system.
Thank you.
Romano

Hi,
To which object u are going to change the cost center i.e, position, job, org.unit.
If you are changing the cost center to position, If it is not allowing to change the cost center then u have to check the parameters:
May be u already assigned cost center
May be u already assigned cost center to ur org, unit, which u assigned to ur position. If u already assigned diffrent cost center to ur org.unit, you may not change the cost center to ur position or job.

ACE Error - NCOALink Parameter Error, Customer ID already used for customer

ACE Error - NCOALink Parameter Error, Customer ID already used for customer "[customer name]", list "[list name]"
Received this error and not sure if its due to the Customer/List ID & List Name combination or some thing else. Any ideas?
Also, is there a document that explains ACE errors.
Thank you!

Greetings cbeaure,
For something like this I normally suggest logging an incident with Support at service.sap.com .
However I thought it might be heplful to answer your questions and provide you with the example you would have located by using the Knowledgebase search when logging the issue with the Support team.
During the process of logging an issue to Support on the SAP Service Marketplace, you would be prompted for a search in the Knowledgebase. By entering in the error you received, you would have seen the following:
Cause:
This error will occur when either the List Name or Company Name was changed, but the PAF ID (specifically the Customer\List ID) has not changed.
Resolution:
The software has verification in place that requires a unique NCOALink PAF ID for the combined parts of the List Name and Company Name. This meets the Licensee's requirement, as described by the USPS in the Limited Service Provider and Full Service Provider Performance Requirements:
"Licensee will assign each NCOALink customer file, list, or database a unique NCOALink PAF ID. This ID will be used by the software to verify that the customer has a valid, active PAF on file with Licensee. This ID will also be used to provide a relationship between Licensee's service log and PAF information files. The format of the ID will be an eighteen character alphanumeric field consisting of four sub-parts. The Licensee will ensure that each of their customers has a unique and never duplicated PAF ID. The software must not allow duplicate IDs. The ID shall be assigned by Licensee upon execution of the Processing Acknowledgement Form and be used throughout the system as prescribed."

T006-Decan change after users have used the TO unit of measure

Currently in our system for TO (tonnes) it has T006-Andec as 3 and T006-Decan as 0 and it issues the users a warning message "Order quantity violates rounding rule" if they type in decimals in the purchase order quantity. We have been asked to change T006-Decan to a 3 and do away with the warning message. What happens if you change T006-Decan from 0 to 3 after users have already used the unit of measure (TO) in the R/3 SAP_APPL 470 system on materials, purchase orders, sales documents, receipts, etc...? I don't want to impact our users in production since I do not where this unit of measure has been used. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi
If you are changing the decimal places in T006 - DECAN , the number which was 1000 would show as 1,000... so previously it was 1000 tonnes now it will show as 1 tonne.... such things happen....Check with SAP before doing changes to the Standard UOM's...
I am not able to find the correct SAP note for this.... but its there hope you get it
Thanks & Regards

How to link ECC Company code with BCS Consolidation unit

I have to create new consolidation unit in BCS, parallelly in SAP R/3 also I have created a company code.
I could read following in the forum :-
The Company Codes from ECC are assigned to the characteristic Company in BCS, thus creating a one to one relationship between ECC & BCS company codes.
BUT HOW TO DO THE SAME.
Also any advise on Profit centre and cost centre etc in BCS in line with ECC. This is first time I am configuring in BCS,

Typically in ECC company codes are assigned to a company. The company is typically used for cons unit in BCS, but it is not uncommon for company code to be used as cons unit.
When company code is used, it is an attribute of the characteristic company and thus in the load mapping, the company is mapped to the attribute company code. This results in company code being mapped to company.
Otherwise, if company code is in the databasis as the cons unit role, then it is simply mapped to company code to company code.
For profit center and cost center, these are typically assigned the role subassignment, but it is not uncommon for profit center to be a cons unit for a matrix consolidation. However, these characteristics must first be included in the totals/databasis infocube.

Error in OBYC: Account *** already used in transaction ***

Hi,
I was trying to change the GL account of one transaction key when it gave me an error message that it cant be used because it's already used in another transaction key. However, I noticed one GL account that was in GBB and in PRD but there was no error in it.. Just want to ask, is there a way to set a GL account that will allow it to be posted in 2 transaction keys? And also, what makes it possible to be used in two different transaction keys?
Thanks so much!
Regards,
Paula

Dear,
we can assign the same G/Ll with different modifier under same transaction event key, but we cannt assign same G/L for different transaction event key.
If u have not assigned this G/L to any other transaction event key then there should be some open document, that is why it is not allowing u to change the G/L.
Regards
