EC-CS consolidation frequency - skip period

Hello,
we are implementing EC-CS cosolidation and having problem regarding consolidation frequency.
At the moment consolidation frequency is set to yearly consolidation. Customer now wants to change it so the frequency would be montly consolidation. The problem is that sometimes they want to do monthly consolidation but if there wouldn't be enough time to do it they would skip a period or more. Is that posible and what are consequences? Would it be a problem because some documents are reversed in subsequent period?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Jelena

Hi Jigar,
Thank you for your replies...
Actually i had maintained all the prerequisites for the Data Collection and the Consolidation Monitor.
I also executed the interunit elimination entries.
The problem occurred when i tried to consolidate the data for previous fiscal years (i.e. 2002 to 2007).
After completing the tasks / task groups, i executed the consolidated financial statement comparison report "S_ALR_87011792" and found that the total value is not reconciling with the individual financial statement report (F.01 / F.54). I don't know where i am making problems. Can you please guide me on this.
I am not sure whether this is a configuration problem.
Regards,
Chaps

  • Consolidation Frequency in BCS

    I am part of BW based SEM-BCS project and we are running into following problem.
    We would like to have Consolidation Frequency 'Quarterly' but load the data from cube monthly. This does not seem like very unusual requirement, but I am unable to find appropriate config.
    There is some reference to Period Category in the Periodicity section, but there are no options to associate Period Category with Task or Method.
    Any help will be appreciated. We are on version 4.0

    You are correct that the inversion task must be executed for each period of the cons frequency.

  • Change in Consolidation frequency

    Hi,
    Till 2006, my client was having annual consolidations. From 2007, he wants semi annual consolidation. How do I switch over to a different consolidation frequency?
    I tried creating a new version but facing lot of errors. Can somebody let me know the steps that I need to carryout for the same. Thanks.
    Hope I can use the same chart of accounts after the switch over too.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    I am afraid that your approach of creating new version may not work, since verson/ special version is at the highest level. Perhaps, you can create a new consolidation area under the same data basis, change consolidation frequency, use the same version, use the same cons COA so that you have all CS_Items in place. However, I do not understand the reason why you are trying to distinguish between the past and future.
    If I were in your position, I would have handled as follows. I will ensure that I have the new consolidation (semi annual) in place in master data. I would change the consolidation frequency from annual to semi-annual in each of the consolidation function, wherever required. That should meet your client's expectations.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks.
    PS: Please award points if you find the answer useful.

  • Consolidation Frequency

    Due to business reasons  consolidation is required on quarterly basis only. Added the 0CALQUARTER infoobject for this purpose to BCS cube. All BCS task need to be executed on quarterly basis only.
    Now what is the role to assigned to this infoobject, since our consolidation task has to be executed using this infoobject.  The role period is already assigned to month.
    Appreciate to share your experience/thoughts,

    Hi Eugene,
    Thanks for the details. We already have the derivation in BI cube to derive the calquarter details.
    But since we have the 0CALQUARTER in the BCS totals cube and need to assign the role in 'Cons area'.
    What is the role to assign? The monthly period is already assigned the role?
    Should we give the role of subassignment to 0calquarter?.
    Since all our consolidation process is based on quarter as frequency, shall we assign the period role to quarter and give the subassignment to month? Does it work this way?
    Please let me know your opinion on role.

  • Consolidating with fiscal periods and calendar periods

    Hi, Does anyone have any information out there on how to configure the system to pull data for fiscal period for some companies and calendar period for other companies?  Or any horror stories about trying to do it that way.
    Thanks.

    Stacy,
    For consolidation as a whole only one fiscal year variant is allowed. However, there is possibility of collecting data of different fiscal year variant and using appropriate currency translation rates as per that units fiscal year variant.
    For example, if you have consolidation fiscal year variant as 31st March ending and you have one unit X as fiscal year variant 31st december ending, in this case the 12th period data of consolidation unit X will be translated using exchange rate as on 31st dec and not as on 31st March.
    Hope this might be helpful to you...though no direct response to your question.

  • Variable offsets skipping periods with no data?

    Dear Bwers,
    I have variable offsets defined for 0FISCPER in a query where i put an offset  -6  (with less than or equal to) for getting a six month rolling. When i put 10/2007 in the query i see the result displaying 6 periods of data but some of the periods are  not within the prior six periods. It looks like it is skipping the periods that do not have data in them and instead picking up the periods that have data although they dont fall in the offset range. Any ideas whats happening?
    Thanks
    Raj

    Hi ,
    I think if u need the range then u will have set the variable between and take the range option where u can set the offset for a variable (lets say ZVAR)  :
    Offset will range select between VAR-6 TO VAR-0 then it will pick only 6 periods range ...
    Just check with this logic it will works
    Thanks,

  • Block Consolidation for Prior Period

    Hello Experts,
    I'm looking for option to block the consolidation for prior years. As for priors years we haven't closed the period(those are not in published stage), as of date system has changed alot.
    We are finding a way to stop/block consolidation using rule or something like that.... Kindly suggest.
    Thanks

    If you wanted to block consolidations, you could modify your rules to run the sub routines only if it is greater then a specific year. You could get more elaborate, and use an HS.GetCell to test a condition like a trigger account to block consolidations.  The consolidate option would still be there, but it wouldn't really do anything.
    I would argue that it's possible at some point you will want to do a restatement, and you could have a larger mess in this process if the previous periods haven't been updated based on a rules change, but that's a preference of the specific business needs.
    It would be something like the below, POV variable would have to be set early on to test the POV that you are currently using.
    Sub Calculate
         If pov_year > 2011 Then
              All of sub calculate
         Else
              'Do Nothing
         End if
    End Sub
    Sub Consolidate
         If pov_year > 2011 Then
              All of sub consolidate
         Else
              'Do Nothing
         End if
    End Sub
    Sub Eliminate
         If pov_year > 2011 Then
              All of sub eliminate
         Else
              'Do Nothing
         End if
    End Sub

  • Consolidation in special posting period

    Hi All,
    I am using the Fiscal year variant April to March with 4 special posting periods in ECC. I am using the same in BCS too.
    I am taking the data through LFDS with posting period move.
    I am using quarterly consolidation which is period 3, 6, 9 and 12. However I have balances appearing in special posting periods 13 - 16 in source cube. My first consolidation is happeing for period 12. 2008
    How do I take care of the transactions posted in Sepcial posting periods 13 - 16.
    1. Should I be running the COI in period 16 too. Should I be running it as subsequent consolidation or make period 16 itself as first consolidation.
    2. I am also thinking of making the changes in the source cube 0FIGL_C10 with an additional field called consolidation posting period and write a routine to update additional period field as 12 wherever the posting period is 13 to 16. Then extract the data into BCS for period 12 and have only consolidation frequency till period 12. Can I proceed with this approach ?
    Pl give a standard and correct approach to be followed in case of special posting periods considering all the above facts.
    Thanks in advance
    Srinivasan

    Hi Srinivasan,
    1. Should I be running the COI in period 16 too. Should I be running it as subsequent consolidation or make period 16 itself as first consolidation.
    - I don't think that you should.
    2. I am also thinking of making the changes in the source cube 0FIGL_C10 with an additional field called consolidation posting period and write a routine to update additional period field as 12 wherever the posting period is 13 to 16.

    - I like the idea.
    Pl give a standard and correct approach to be followed in case of special posting periods considering all the above facts.
    - Didn't see such written approaches and doubt that they exist.

  • SEM-BCS Short Dump while executing Manual Posting Task

    Hi SEM-BCS Colleagues,
    I am having a peculiar problem with relation to the settings for Manual Postings. I have three scenarios for which I have defined manual document types and tasks 1) Standardizing Entry (Data Collection) 2) Manual Document in IU for adjustment 3) COI Group level manual postings. I am just creating and not changing any settings for document field properties also. I have configured monthly consolidation frequency and period category and I am posting document type 1 in Local Currency and 2 and 3 in Group Currency since they are after currency translation.
    Have any of you faced similar problem and help me please?

    Hello,
    I am also getting short dump during data collection in BCS.
    we recently upgraded the system to SP20. Is it anyway related to upgrade.
    I also checked the MYSELF as a source system, but not found one.
    Could you please let me know how you have solved this issue.

  • Frequency/​Period measuremen​t with USB-6218

    I have been trying to get a USB-6218 to measure either frequency or period and have been running in to issues. I have attempted to connected to each counter gate (PFI1 or PFI2) and have not had any luck. I am attempting to meausre lower-frequency signals (1Hz-1KHz) so the Low-Frequency, 1 counter approach seems to be the one I need. The end goal is to get it working in Labwindows. I have made attempts using both sample LabWindows programs as well as MAX. In each of them, it appears that the frequency measurement is actually coming back with the pulse width of both the low and high portions of the signal. For instance, if I am trying to meausre the period of a 100 Hz signal, with a 75% duty cycle, it will toggle between 0.0075 and 0.0025 seconds for the period. If I increase the frequency of the signal to 10 KHz, it measures the frequency well. Is there something I am missing? Based on the manual, I should be able to meausre lower frequency signals using this method. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Can you upload a screenshot of your Task in MAX is setup? Is this happening at all lower frequencies or just at 100 Hz? Lets make sure we can get this working in MAX before adding LabWindows/CVI on top of it.
    Sometimes this can happen if the rise/fall time of the signal is not within the specifications of the device. This KnowledgeBase article shows the acceptable rise/fall times.

  • Consolidation on Quarterly and Monthly Frequency

    Hi Team,
    Can you suggest how to go about consolidation scenario, which has monthly and quarterly consolidation frequency. The scenario is whole group is consolidated on quarterly basis and sub group wants to be consolidated on monthly basis.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sreedhar

    In this case it may be necessary to consolidate all on a monthly basis.
    The tasks may differ between monthly and quarterly consolidation, but I am not aware of a way to consolidate different cons groups monthly and others only quarterly.

  • Inversion documents when using the special Periods with FYV K4

    Hello All,
                I have posted some documents in Period 12 and they are not inverting in period1. we are using the FYV as K4 which is 12 periods plus 4 special periods. My business requirement is whatever the documents posted in Period12 to Period 16, they need to be inverted in Period1.
                I have tried all different combinations and permitation by changing the consolidation frequency, Document types and tasks. But there is no use and SAP also replied back as per the below. So please help if you have any information regarding this issue. 
    25.11.2008 - 16:54:36 CET - Reply by SAP     
    Dear Jags,
    There is no special handling of the 'special' periods regarding invers-
    ion.
    The period initialization task just considers the closing frequency,
    which is assigned to the respective task.
    According to this frequency, it inverts the previous closing period.
    If you use the closing frequency monthly, which contains
    also the special periods 13-16, then the following logic applies:
    period of execution / inversion period of original document
    01 16
    02 01
    03 02
    04 03
    05 04
    06 05
    07 06
    08 07
    09 08
    10 09
    11 10
    12 11
    13 12
    14 13
    15 14
    16 15
    If the closing frequency contains also the special periods, please
    execute the period initialization task also in all special periods.
    I hope this helps to answer your question. If so, please confirm this

    Hi Eugene,
                       Thank you so much for thinking about this issue and providing one more suggestion. This time also no use by trying in different way.
    As you know I am using the FYV as K4(12 periods + 4 special Periods)
    Created the Consolidation Frequencies.
    1.     100 u2013 1-13 Periods
    2.     200 u2013 only period 13
    3.     300 u2013 1-12 Periods
    Created the following Period Category groups and period categories.
    1.     Period Group 100
    Period Category 10 u2013 1-12 periods
    2.     Period Group 200
                    Period category 20 u2013 only Period 13
    Assigned the Consolidation Frequency 100 (1-13 periods) to the Version combinations.
    I have created 2 tasks with one method and one Flexible Upload
    Task
               Task u2013 TEST1
               Cons Frequency u2013 300 (1-12 Periods)
               Period category -  10 (1-12 Periods)
               Flexible Upload Method TEST is assigned.
               Task u2013 TEST2
               Cons Frequency u2013 200 (Period 13)
               Period category -  20 (only Period 13
               Flexible Upload Method TEST (same as above) is assigned.
                Assigned these tasks to the task group within a task hierarchy
    Method
              Method u2013 TEST
              Data Stream u2013 Documents
              Data Collection Procedure u2013 Manual Posting

                       Posted one document with 2 lines in Period12.
                        It is not inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, but it is inverting period 13.
              Issue: I am unable to invert the doc in period1.
             Even I tried with 2 different doc types and 2 different Flexible upload methods. But there is no use.
              TEST2 task is showing up in period13 only in the cons monitor
                       Posted one document with 2 lines in Period13.
                       It is inverting in period1 part of the period initialization task, so here there is no issue from the beginning.
    Thanks,
