EC CS Consolidation chart of account

ECCS
What is the purpose and use of "Breakdown category " in a Consolidation Chart of Account FS Items. When we define FS Items in a consolidation chart, what could be the guiding principle?. Should the summarized Fin Statement ( without details or notes) be defined as FS Items?.
any helpful response will be assigned points
Tulip

Dear Tulip,
breakdown category defined what kind of subitems do you want to use for the FS items (=Accounts in EC-CS). Subitems help to reduce the number of FS items and provides additional information.
All customer I know uses breakdowns for FS Items.
Please see help.sap.com , there is a definition with examples.
Cheers,
David

SEM BCS - Consolidation Chart of Accounts

Hi all,
For the SEM-BCS implementation I am using ECC as the operational system. ECC folks are in the process of building a group chart of account in FI.
Can you suggests the work around to map group chart of account to consolidation chart of account in SEM-BCS?
Thanks in advance
RJ

I am not sure if anybody has replied you.
In SEM 4.0, You need to download the chart from R3 and then upload as hierrachy in the UCWB workbench.
In SEM.6.0, You have master data load direct from R3 and you can do the same.
Functional advice:-
Normally R3 creates operational chart of account in R3. Each account has a group account feild, if populated the mapping of operational chart to group is amintained in R3 itself.
You can upload the GL master with group chart account number and then this will obviously have the mapping for your use in BCS.
Consolidation chart of account in R3 (if its the accepted group chart) will be the same group chart which your ECC guys are preparing.
Are they using ECCS in R3??

EC-CS Cons Chart of Accounts & Financial Statment Version

Hi Experts,
I need your valid input on this issue. We have 6 company codes and wanted to have a consolidation P&L and BS. I have implemented EC-CS and have done all the all necessary configuration and the data is flowing to EC-CS without any problems. My concern here is whether i have done right in Cons chart of accounts or not. I have created one consolidated chart of accounts in FI which as 1:1 relationship with operational coa and also copied Financial statment version. But for some reason the FSV is not copied correctly to EC-CS in FS hierarchy for example under assets->current assets->cash i just get the group as cash but it doesnt bring all the FS items or GL accounts under it, where as FI i can see all the GL accounts under cash. My question here is how to copy the same FSV from FI to EC-CS as FS hierarchy.
Since I am using 1:1 relationship between consolidated coa and operation coa, what's the best way bring all the GL accounts in FI to EC-CS as FS item including the financial statment version. I went to CX16 and transfered automatically from FSV, it just brought in the higher level groups and not the lower level FS item.
Could somebody suggest me the better way of doing it or am i doing something wrong? Another question is how does the retained earnings work, does it work the same way as FI, transfering net income/loss from p&l to BS, since the data is transfered from FI on real time update?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
gj

Hi Dan,
Thanks again. I did figured it out and i was able to post the retaining earning account. Simultenously I was trying to post a reclassification and i am getting error message GK897 (Auto posting item 0000330000 contains wrong value (cons unit 000000000000003200). Basically in the reclassification rule, i specified the percentage rate in further settings and in trigger i had given the P&L retained earning account, source as RE account and destination as another FS item. The reason behind doing this to take certain percentage of RE account and to reclassify to another account. but im getting this error message, im not sure what i am missing here.
thanks
Best Regards,

Urgent : Doubt in Chart of accounts & Report generating

Hi Gurus,
Hope all are doing well !!
I have a doubt in generating Balance sheet & Financial statement report for country specific COA.
The Scenario is like this:
We have 3 Company codes and all company codes are assigned with single operating chart of acconts.
In one company code there is an addtional requirement of maintaining country specific COA.
All three company codes are maintaining same Group (consolidated) chart of accounts.
Now my question is :
How to generate FS report for Country specific COA for the Company code along with the operating COA? And also would be helpful if you can explain me how it can also be for Group chart of account.
As per my understanding once you assign an operating COA to a co code and account determination is done, the table SKB1 (GL master co code segment)will get linked to the respective co code and you may not be able to creat data in co code segment of GL master record for another COA (Viz.Country specific COA). There is no such customisation has given to adopt this. Probably there should be some report or program need to be executed to copy the relevant table and country templates.
It would be helpful if you can provide some documentation on this please forward it to me.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
Best regards,
Sudheer

In IMG, under 'Global parameters for company code', you need to mention the country chart of Accounts in one of the fields.
In the GL master, you need to fill in the Alternate Account number field with the Account from the country COA.
As for reporting,COA is one of the selection criteria for any standard report anyway.
Hope this helps
Thanks

EC-CS - FS Items that are not assigned to Consol Chart of Accounts

There are many redundant FS Items that not assigned to Consol Chart of Accounts. Instead of identifying and deleting one by one, what is the fastest and best way to clean up?
Thanks and Regards,
B Lim

Hi
when you are in the beginning of the of the project you can generate the EC-CS FS Items out of the consolidation chart of accounts finance Financial statement.
This saved for me a lot of work and i had to do it anyway because i take over from the periodic extract.

Group Chart of accounts in Consolidation

Hi All,
In one scenario there are three company codes and all the three are using the same chart of accounts as operational COA. My question is for consolidation purpose it is necessary to maintain the same COA as group COA and assign it operational COA? Thanks in advance.
Srinivas.

Hi Adi,
Thanks for the reply. Is it compulsory that we have to maintain a group COA for consolidation purpose? even though all the three company codes uses the same operatinal COA. If it is cumpulsory, in OB13 can we maintain the operational COA as Consolidated/Group chart of a/c? In our case for ex:OCOA.

Srinivas

Hi,
1. chart of accounts--> common set of accounts.
2. Group of acts--> group chart of acts.
Generally we use common set of acts.
For common set of A/c-->OB13.
For A/C groups>OBD4>new entries> give your chart of A/C, A/C group, name, from A/C and to A/c> SAVE.
Assigning company code to chart of accounts-->OB62.
Thanks.

Consolidation multiple operational chart of accounts

am on a consolidation project and I have the following scenario.
There are about 25 companies spread across the globe.
The requirement is only legal consolidation.
But unfortunately they dont use global chart of accounts. Out of 25 company codes 20 companies use CoA A and the rest of the CoA B. Had it been a single CoA it would have been a straight forward implementation. SInce it involves two CoAs I would like to know how to go further on this. I know BIW based BCS can handle this. But when it comes to the question of real life implementation every one is tight lipped. Appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this.

Dan
<b>Appreciate your comments on this which will add value</b>.
Yes. It is not a straight forward implementation but not too complex. There are more than one way to tackle this issue. But my solution is based on maintenance perspective since there will be regular addition of GL accounts. You have also not mentioned whether your client has Group chart of accounts in place. I assume that you dont have group chart of accounts and only operational chart of accounts in place for these two sets of companies.
Solution 1. At the time of extracting the data from R/3 table you can map it to a group chart of accounts in transfer rules.
Solution 2 You can also do a mapping between operational chart of accounts and group chart of accounts when you are mapping between source data basis and data basis.
Solution 3 You can create look up table (Ztable) separately containing the following fields
name of the chart of accounts, operational GL accounts and group chart of accounts. When the data extracted from R/3 data will look ino this table and group account number will be populated based on this mapping table.
I would recommend this since this easier to maintenance since users need not go into BIW or SEM whenever a new account is added into R/3 side.
Hope this gives you some idea. Pl let me know if you have more questions.

HIi
Mater chart of accounts is nothing but the main account that is created at the client level.
we have 3 COA
1. Group chart of accounts
2.country specific chart of accounts
3. Operating chart of accounts
we can have maximum 3 chart of acocunts assigned to each company code
Company code chart of accounts is can be operating chart of account which contains the group of account used by that company...
If some specific requireement is there for the country reporting purpose than we need to use that and maintain that ,
Group chart of account is used for the consolidation purpose.
like we have 6 company codes under one company in differnet countries.. so here they will have one common COA which will consilidate the business of all 6 company codes...
Hope u understand wht u wanted..

Global Chart of Accounts to individual company codes

Hi
I would like to know the various conditions that should follow if we use a Global Chart of Accounts.
This Global chart of accounts is to be used by many company codes.
This Global chart of accounts will be used for consolidation. How the actual consolidation would take place ? Does it use the same principle of using the group account number in the individual company code's account number while creating the GL account master in the individual company code ? (I am confused because the company codes would be using the same account number as that is available in the Global chart of account). Or we dont have to enter the same account number again in the master GL of Individual company code ?
Your valuable views on this are welcome.
Regards

Hi,
Within Operating Chart of A/C of each Co.Code, Group Chart of Account need to be given
Group Chart of A/C GL Codes need to be different than Operating Chart of A/C GL Codes.
Generally, First 4 / 5 Digits of GL Code in Operating Chart of A/C can be used as GL Code in Group Chart of A/C wherever they exactly correlate with each other.
Warm Regards...

Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

Hello Experts
we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
> Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
> You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
> Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
> No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.
