Consolidation unit not integrated

Hi SAP Gurus,
I'm using SAP 4.6C. I've created a new consolidation unit. But If i compare with the other consolidation units created previously, using tcode FX1M, tab "Data Collection" .. the new consolidation unit I created doesn't have the section "Integration".
This section "integration" should have the information such as :
- Type of consolidation
- Logical system
- Company
- Profit center group
Something is missing here, and I don't know where is it. Anyone could help me ?
Regards,
Melissa

I run CXNT. Solved.

  • Concept of Integrated Consolidation Unit of SEM BCS

    HI Experts,
    I'm now in the SEM BCS 4.0 and BW 3.5 implementation. Previously I was the ECCS specialist and before the FI and AM specialist.
    Now I'm in SEM BCS implementation.
    I have one question in connection to the integrated consolidation unit. As the reference, I take the concept of this using the ECCS.
    As you might know, the creation of integrated consolidation unit for using realtime update method in ECCS, is pulled from FI company ID.
    Meanings if I set the configuration properly, I can pull out the company master data as the consolidation unit master data in consolidation monitor.
    Now, in SEM BCS, I want to do the same thing. I mean, off course I can create company ID in R/3 and then create the consolidation unit manually using UCWB. But this scenario can create inconsistency, and I also think this is not the right concept of doing integration between R/3 and SEM BCS.
    My question is : what is the concept of this master data integration, and what is the proper way to do it?
    Any advise on this question is highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    regards,
    Halim

    Hi Halim,
    You need to build properly your data basis in data model.
    Assign your company to a consolidation unit role:

  • Consolidation unit's hierarchy can not be organized well in BCS

    Hi,gurus here.
    We are using SEM-BCS to analyse business consolidation based on BW.
    In BW,the consolidation unit's hierarchy is good,but when we execute the data load task in BCS,the consolidatioin unit in BCS can not be organized as an entire hirarchy well.
    What's wrong?

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Consolidation Unit Clearing account for Income / Expenses elimination

    Hi,
    When companys are leaving the group, where the parent comapany has some income/expenses elimination transactions with the company leaving, there is still balance on the parent company on consolidation unit clearing account with the company leaving the group as partener company.
    This shows incorrectely the retained earning for the parent company for posting leve20 when balances on consolidation unit clearing account is not included. Please advise.
    We are not unsing COI but we are using Group change functionalities when company leaves the grop.
    Furthere, in all auto elimination document type for Balance Sheet Elimination and Income statement elimination, we have assigned same consolidation unit clearing account. Please advise.
    Best Regards,
    UR

    When viewing the results using the standard reporting mode I suspect the balances are okay. Please clarify in detail how the data is being analyzed so we may better assist.

  • Balance carryforward consolidation unit with equity method

    Hi experts,
    One question in relation with balance carryforward in SEM BCS 4.0. Do Additional finantial data of Consolidation unit with equity method must be carried forward to following periods?
    I have a problem with AFD validation for equity method.
    Best regards,
    Beatriz B.

    Thanks Halim,
    I am not using consolidation unit combination. It is only Legal Consolidataion. However, I have fixed the problem by changing the master data of consolidation unit. I have enabled FCEP.
    I have one more question. Do I have to run Consolidation Group Change Task also when I am switching from Equity method to Purchase method for Associate companies?
    When I am changing from Equity to Purchase method all the previous C/I postings are reversed, but the profit of Associates which was already accounted by holding company in the previous period is transfered to Net Income-Method Change and second effect is given to Goodwill (GW is enhanced).
    Hence, post change of method, when I upload TB of Associate, the Net Income is not eliminated to the extent of the profit Adjusted on account of Method change.
    Please suggest,
    Thanks,

  • Consolidation Unit in the wrong position in Accounting Techniques tree

    Hi all,
    I'm facing a problem with a consolidation unit (A) in the Accounting Techniques tree (T1).
    The issue is resolved when I delete the unit A from the consolidation group tree (T2) but, when I add the unit A to the consolidation group tree (T2) again, the unit appears in two places, and that is not correct.
    I've tried to delete and move the unit through the Accounting techniques tree (T1), but the problem continues.
    Can you help me??
    Thanks in advance.
    Inge Eichhorns

    In some cases it is standard for a cons unit to be included in the Acctg Techniques assignment multiple times. Because the assignments may different at various levels in the hierarchy, especially when not inherited downward.
    One way to check this or change this is to check the assignments via the cons group view by clicking on the cons group and selecting View > Cons Group.

  • Consolidation Unit: consolidate only until period 09 (divestment).

    I have another problem related to consolidation:
    I have a consolidation group with several consolidation units assigned to. For one assigned consolidation unit, I want to consolidate only up to period 09. So, I have edited the year and period of divestment (2008/09). I was hopping that, that consolidation unit wasn't proposed in the consolidation monitor for interunit elimination (for period 10).
    Does anybody know what else do I have to do for this purpose?
    Thanks,
    Paula

    This sounds like a minor bug. I suggest you search SAP Notes for solution and if none is found notify SAP via customer message.

  • 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

  • Consolidation Unit Hierachy deletion

    The consolidation unit is time dependant, but has many duplicate hierarchies created unwantedly over a period of time. Hence this creates confusion in parameter selection in reports.
    Can the unwanted hierarchies be deleted in development and transported across? Will the deletion of whole hierarchy get sucessfully transported?
    Alternatively rather than deleting the hierarchy , can the hierarchy be put in invisible mode  which will not trouble the users, which selection.
    Edited by: BCS_BPC on Mar 3, 2011 6:05 PM

    Can the unwanted hierarchies be deleted in development and transported across? Will the deletion of whole hierarchy get sucessfully transported?
    - Yes, to both Qs, AFAIK. But, remembering that SAP SEM-BCS has two layers: BCS itself and underlying BW, such excersize is the SAP acrobatics. Without experience it might be very dangerous in sense of damaging data.
    Alternatively rather than deleting the hierarchy , can the hierarchy be put in invisible mode  which will not trouble the users, which selection.
    - No, no invisible mode (in full). One may try achivieng it by different visibility in BCS and BW, but it also requires experience and risky in sense of bringing inconsistency between BCS and BW.

  • BCS  how to change the accounting technique of consolidation unit.

    Hi, expert,
        We have a C/I method with accounting technique 'equity method', but when we assign the method to consolidation unit, the value of 'accounting technique' of consolidation unit  is 3 (mutul stock method ), not 2 (equity method).
       How to crrect this.
      I really appreciate your input on this matter
      Thanks.

    Thanks, Dan and Collet
       In my compandy hierarchy, each consolidation unit with the method is 3, not 2. include inheritance and not inheritance.
       When I double click one of consolidation unit.  a maintain window display,  I change accounting technique in this window, the syste issue another message  UGMD016 ('The value 2 is invalid for characteristic METHOD'
                                                                         Characteristic METHOD has no master record with the value 2.
                                                                         (The non-existing value was stored as an attribute for characteristic and value .)
       This mean that the method is incorrect?
       But the accounting technqiue of the method  is '2 equity method';

  • Merger of two Consolidation Unit

    Hi,
    I am working on a project where I need to Merge Two Consolidation Unit of the same Consolidation Group.
    For Example, Consolidation Group A1 & A2 is under Consolidation Group ABC. Now we need to Merge Cons. Unit A1 into Cons. Unit A2 under the same Cons. Group ABC. How to handle this in SEM - BCS?
    I cannot use Consolidation Group Changes as this is not transferring but it is merging of two Cons. Unit.
    Your input is highly apprecialbe.

    Hi HI COLLET Thibaud ,
    Thanks for the reply and sorry for my late reply. I was gathering information that you asked from the client. Now picture is more clear.
    Ex.
    Consoildation Unit: A & Consoildation Unit: B. Both are under Consolidation Group AB
    Parent Unit : C
    Now Consoildation Unit: A is getting transferred to Consoildation Unit: B. Business wants to transfer Balance Sheet as on Date. There is no Goodwill. Everything is getting transferred at Book Value.
    Now for Share Capital purchase, there are two options suggested. One is to buy share of Consoildation Unit: A by Cash and second is to buy share of Consoildation Unit: A by issuing Shares of Consoildation Unit: B.
    If we go for option 1 of purchasing through Cash, then there will be impact only on Cash Outflow from Consoildation Unit: B and Share Capital Reduction from Consoildation Unit: A. This will happen becasue Consoildation Unit: B will pay Cash to Consoildation Unit: A and Consoildation Unit: A in turn will pay for Share Capital and reduce its Share Capital. But if we go for option 2 of issuing shares of Consoildation Unit: B, then there will be change in the Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: B and reduction in the Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: A. In any case, there will be reduction in Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: A.
    So what do you suggest in this scenario? What will be the BCS impact if we go for option1 or option2. Just to remind, we are transferring everything including Share Capital in FI. But I am wondering the steps and impact on BCS...
    Your input is highly appreciable and definately will be rewarded with points !!!
    Thanks..

  • Moving consolidation unit mid year

    Hi,
    we need to move 2 consolidation units from 2 different consolidation groups into a new existing consolidation group in June, rather then at year end.  We did some testing on this, but it seems that the historical information of those 2 consolidation units is not transferred into the new consol group in July. Is that to be expected? If not, what is the best way to get the historical data into the new consol group? The managers of the old consol units still need to show the historical data as well. Your help is very much appreciated : )

    The cons unit/group hierarchy is time-dependent. The best way to accomplish this is to execute the cons group changes tasks, which transfers the balance sheet balances "out" of the old cons group and the standard consolidation logic of the virtual infocube function module will automatically include the balances in the new cons group from the period of the change and thereafter.
    Another possibility, is if you are not using any posting level 30 documents types, you can possibly make the change retroactive to the beginning of the year by changing parameters to period 001 for the hierarchy change. In this case, the reporting logic will automatically include the balances in the new cons group and not the old cons group for the entire year.
    It is also important to not "drag-and-drop" for such changes, and to include the cons unit in both new and old cons groups with a period of divestiture in the master data of the old cons group and period of first consolidation of the new cons group.

  • Consolidation unit

    I need Company A to appear in one version of BCS with K4 variant in another version of BCS with K2 variant.
    Can a consolidation unit appear in 2 different version with 2 different varaint?

    This may be possible, but not likely in the same cons area.
