ECCS- PC consolidation

Hi
I am trying to do management consolidation using EC CS. I am defining PC as a consolidation unit and also created the CG. I wanted to to know whether these PC are linked to Compnay in ECCS or we have to define independently of the company codes. Appreciate sharing your knowledge.

Hello,
you have to use integrated data transfer method rollup in order to link the Profit Center accounting with EC-CS.

I hope you find my short answer helpful.

ECCS 6 CONSOLIDATION SET FOR REPORT PAINTER

Hi
I am configuring the Report Painter for the reports on ECCS consolidation. In the T CODE CXSA creating sets there is concept of formual.
Ecaxtly what i want is that, i want to spilt the value of a FS ITEM into 2 Account Group at the rate of 60% and 40%.
and for that i want to us Formula in the creation of Sets. Can anyone please tell me how this formual works.
Thanks & Regards
Krish

Hi
In a report painter report - Once you have created a SET means you know for what values you want to execute the report...
In your form definition, you will see two check boxes beside your characteristic - i.e. One for Defining a variable for the char and the Other for using a SET..
If you want to use a variable - this means you would specify the values of the projects at the time of execution... For this, click on the relevant check box and you can specify any name in the field "Local Variable"
If you want to use a SET, this means you know for what projects you would like to see the report.. For this, check on the relevant check box and specify your SET there...
If you want to use both the above options, then you must create your set from GS11 and choose the radio button SET VARIABLE
Refer the set 1KOSET from GS13 as a sample...
And see report 1SIP-001 under library 1VK in GRR3.. This report uses 1KOSET under General Data Selection.... You will get an idea for what you want

ECCS 6 CONSOLIDATION

Hi All
I am using the ECCS 6 for company consolidation. I am using the GROUP COA TO MAP THE GL ACCNTS IN THE INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONAL COA TO THE GL ACCNTS OF GRP COA.
You can assign a transaction chart of accounts which is assigned to a group chart of accounts to one or more consolidation charts of accounts. For each account in the group chart of accounts, an item with an identical key must exist in the respective consolidation chart of accounts. Each account in the transaction chart of accounts must be assigned to a group account
what is the meaning of this " AN ITEM WITH IDENTICAL KEY " .
Can you please explain that.
Thanks
Krishnendu


Hi Sri
Thanks for ur answer. My question is that,
In order to group the GL accounts of the operational COA, to the Group COA, i need to have the GL Accts in Group COA level first, and then i am going to use this GL Accnts in FS00 to link individual GL accnts of Operational COA to a Single GL Accnts in Group COA. ok
Buti cannot assign the Group COA to any cocd.So to create the GL acconts in the Group COA level do i have to create only in Group COA sengment i.e. thru FSP0 in the group coa level.
When i create the FSV in the Group COA level & execute to get the Report of FSV , can i get the report along with the values in the group Level.
example:
In the COCD level, assume:
Basic ( GL Acct in the COCD Level )1000$
DA ( GL Acct in the COCD Level) 250$
HRA ( GL Acct in the COCD Level) 250$
In the Group Level total Salary Cost ( GL Accnt ) 1500$

ECCS Assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units

Dear experts,
I get trouble with on error in ECCS. After I create consolidation of investment method. In order to use this method in consolidation of investment, I have to assign this method to consolidation units.
I used tcode CXM1 to assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units. But when I execute this tcode, there is no consolidation hierarchy. Therefore, I cannot do assignment.
Any body have ever face with the same error?
I am looking forward to hearing your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!

I dealt this issue.
Thanks.

ECCS : Proportional consolidation data selection

Hello Guys,
I want to include items into the consolidated statement using proportional consolidation (transcation CX26).
My problem is that with this tool i cannot select any item or apply any restricton to my source data : the standard program proportionally consolidate every items without exception.
Does any one of you have a solution to limit the proportional consolidation only to cetain items/posting level...?
Should I use another consolidation of investment tool to fulfill my requirement?
thank you in advance for your help
best regards
pascal

Hi Sylvie,
That's true: apportionement task will apply to all FS items.
If you want to reduce the apportionement scope, you can try to use a reclassification, which uses percentages, and limit the dataset in the triggering parameters.
Kind regards,
Grégoire

BPC - Consolidation - Data Loading - Will BS/PL accounts data ONLY be loaded from ECC?

Dear All,
In BPC, when we load data from ECC for Consolidation, my understanding is that we load only BS and PL accounts' data for/by the entity.
Apart from BS and PL data, will there be any data that will have to be loaded into BPC for consolidation?
The following three financial statements -
-Statement of Cash Flow
-Statement of Changes in Equity
-Statement of Comprehensive Income
are actually derived/calculated from the loaded BS and PL data. This is my understanding. Pls. correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
Balance sheet, PL and those three financial statements are derived from BS/ PL accounts, however, there should also be "flow" information. Otherwise you won't end up with a correct consolidated cash flow or equity movement. ( or you can prefer to enter flow detail manually)
Second thing is, while getting BS & PL accounts, you will also need trading partner detail, otherwise you won't be able to do the eliminations. (or you can prefer to manually enter trading partner detail for intercompany accounts)
Thirdly, you should also consider other disclosures. (Depending on what standart you are implementing - IFRS, US GAAP, Local Gaap whatever...)
Hope this gives an idea.
Mehmet.

Migration to new gl consolidation dimension subitem to be added

Hi,
We are currently working on the migration to new GL, we are using ECCS for consolidation.
For consolidation we plan to use scenario FIN_CONS and to use fields consolidation transaction type and trading partner.
We are also using field subitem for our consolidation reports (field SUBIT in table ECMCT) how can we have the information on this populated in our entended data structure (table FMGLFLEXT for public sector)
Thanks

Scummins,
1. You'll get the subitem from RMVCT (TType) and RASSC (Trading Partner).
2. These notes will be useful to you:
Note 1256119 - Integrating EC-CS consolidation with new general ledger
Note 1070629 - FAQs: New general ledger migration
3. As an addon, I'll suggest using rollup (way faster than periodic extracct).

Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

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.

Change ECCS Hirarchy & first consolidation

Dear ALl,
My Company use ECCS Modul and First Consolidation was done at period 04/2004 and Hirarchy are :
BIG
--1000
--BG
2000
BPG
3000
4000
5000
SG
6000
7000
We have processed consolidation every month until period 08/2007.
Start on period 09/2007 my company want to change the Hirarchy
BIG
--7000
--BG
2000
BPG
3000
4000
5000
SG
6000
1000
Step by step already we did for the change is :
1. Closing All modul on period 08/2008
2. Consolidation Process (sub Sequent) on Period 08/2008
3. Change Account Master Data and trading partner.
4. Adjust FI Balance from company 1000 to 7000 on period 08/2007
5. Adjust FI Balance from company 7000 to 1000 on period 08/2007
6. Change consolidation Unit (tcode: CX1N)
7.Change Hirachy (tcode :CX1X & CXM1)
8.First Consolidation process
Do the steps wrong? Or do you have other step-by- step process for the change?
We find various error on first consolidation process.
One of the problem is transaction with account trading partner posted on period 04/2004 as begining balance not allowed to adjust in FI Modul
How to Adjust Transaction that have trading partner on ECCS Modul.
Regard
JPL

How can you solve this problem?, please guide me to solve this problem, i have similar problem, thanks.

ECCS consolidation reporting.

We have some deviation in values in the ECCS consolidation related report made through GRR1 transaction(Report painter).
we found the Liabrary and its table. FIMC table has been linked to library. In fact FIMC is a structure which is a combination of data base tables.
I would like to what are all the data base tables linked to FIMC table(structure) which was used in in library so as to find the deviations in values of report painter report.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VS ramaiah.

hi Li,
Thanks for reply. I got the solution for it. Actullay this was not an error. Because when you have same currency for consolidation unit and consoliation Group, then there is no need for Currency Translation Tasks. In short, this task is not applicable for when local currency and Group currency are same.

ECCS - Adding Profit Center to Company Code Consolidation

Hello Gurus,
We use ECCS for our consolidation. We do only Legal consolidation and we also use Functional Area as a sub-item category for all the IS accounts. We are now trying to add Profit Center as one of the attributes. Initially, we planned to use the sub-item category, however, we can have only one and it's already taken by Functional Area. Is there a way I can
1. Add PC as an attribute
2. Enhance ECMCT to allow additional Sub-item?
Appreciate your advice and guidance.
Regards,
Venkat

The documentation at the menu path: t-code SPRO > Enterprise Controlling > Consolidation > Add Characteristics states:
Add Characteristics
The SAP standard consolidation database includes various preset characteristics, such as the consolidation unit, the financial statement (FS) item, the subitem, etc. If the information requirements of your group demand additional fields, you can define your own socalled custom characteristics.
This step shows you two ways to add characteristics to the consolidation database:
You can add up to five subassignments to the FS item.
You can add navigation attributes to the characteristic consolidation unit. The system then automatically assigns the same attribute to the characteristics partner unit and investee unit as well.
After adding a characteristic, the system generates the associated ABAP Dictionary objects and maintenance views.
To the consolidation database, you can also add characteristics based on structures that already exist in the SAP system (e.g. Region). However, you can also add characteristics, the structures of which still need to be generated.
Recommendation
Since custom characteristics extend the consolidation database, you should carefully examine which characteristics are to be added. SAP recommends, in particular, that you first finish creating the new characteristics, and that you make sure that want to use this set of data, before you activate the new characteristics and start the generation. This way you can avoid time-consuming deletions if a characteristic must be removed. Also, keep in mind that you can no longer delete a characteristic once you have posted data with the characteristic.
Example
Examples of subassignments for FS items are the Product Group and the Geographic Region.
An example of an attribute for consolidation units is the Company Type.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system already includes the following subassignments for FS items:
Partner unit
Subitem category and subitem
Transaction currency
Acquisition year
Acquisition period
Unit of measure
The standard SAP system already includes the following attributes for the consolidation unit:
Country
Company
Consolidation business area
Profit center
Controlling area
The attributes company, cons business area, profit center and controlling area are particularly useful when you use the integrated collection of reported financial data from your consolidation units.
Activities
1. Reorganize the field catalog. When this is done, the system copies the system field catalog into the customer field catalog. Choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
If you use integrated collection of reported data, during the reorganization you should include SAP's standard attributes in the selection. Note that, initially, these attributes are not included in the Reorganization selection screen.
2. If desired, create one or more new characteristics.
Enter the technical name (field name) of the new characteristic. The technical name must begin with the letters "ZZ".
Also set the appropriate indicator to define how the structure of the characteristic is to be built.
Technical Background Information:
Description, type, and length are properties of characteristics that you can enter directly or define by assigning a data element or domain. Data elements and domains are ABAP Dictionary objects that act as a central store of table field properties:
A data element defines the meaning of a field in business terms with texts and a reference to a domain.
A domain describes the technical properties of the field and defines permissible values for the characteristic if either of the following conditions is met:
- There is a list defining fixed values
- There is a reference to a check table
Normally data element and domain assignments are used to refer to check tables. You can, however, create a characteristic without any validation or texts by assigning a standard domain (for example CHAR07, NUM12).
Ways to create a characteristic:
a) Assigning a data element
Activate this indicator and assign a data element. The domain assignment is made by assigning the data element.
Note: If you run the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory and the system reads the required additional financial data from the totals database, you need to create the characteristic "product group" and assign it to data element FC_PRGRP.
b) Assigning a domain
Activate this indicator, then specify the meaning and assign a domain. By assigning a domain you define the type and length of the characteristic, and possibly you refer to fixed values or a check table.
c) Referencing a characteristic
Activate this indicator, then specify the description and set a reference to another characteristic. This has the effect of assigning the domain of the referenced characteristic.
d) Creating a characteristic with a new data element and check table
Activate this indicator, the specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system generates a new check table for the characteristic.
e) Creating a characteristic without a check table (using a standard domain)
Activate this indicator and specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system does not generate a check table.
Caution: Assigning data elements or domains does not itself ensure that validation, reading characteristic value texts, and Possible Entries Help will work as expected. The following conditions must be given:
The domain must have a check table or fixed values.
There must be either a text table with references to the check table, or the texts must be in the check table itself.
These conditions are always fulfilled by fields in the standard field catalog.
3. If needed, define compound relationships between characteristics in the detail screen of Characteristic Maintenance.
Some characteristics are dependent on other characteristics; that is, the values of dependent characteristics are meaningless in theabsence of values for independent characteristics. Such a relationship is called a characteristic compound. Technically, a check table then contains a key that consists of two parts.
Example: The Region, a dependent characteristic (check table T005S), forms a compound characteristic with the Country, an independent characteristic, because a region can be maintained or interpreted only if a country is specified.
Note the following restrictions when defining compounds:
Compounds can only be defined for characteristics that have a check table.
When a data element/domain is assigned, a compound is predefined by the existing check table.
Compounds can only be defined while creating a dependent characteristic. You do this by specifying the independent characteristic in the detail screen.
Only single compounds are permitted. Multiple compounds cannot be made.
The compound must be defined while creating a new characteristic, and before the new characteristic is saved. This is because the save process generates the check table for the characteristic.
Note: You do not use characteristic compounds to create regular assignments between two fields (such as, consolidation unit A having the local currency USD). Rather, a compound characteristic describes the structural dependency of one field on another (as in FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 01 being a different item than FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 02).
4. Specify further properties of the characteristic:
Define the display options and the sequence number of the characteristic for reports and so forth.
Activate the Subassignment indicator for all characteristics used as subassignments for FS items.
Activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator for all subassignments whose value is determined by the breakdown category (e.g., as with the characteristic subitem category).
Activate the Default value indicator if applicable. Then the characteristic appears in the implementation step Define Default Values. A default value is not necessary and cannot be set if you activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator
5. Enhance the checking specifications if needed:
For characteristics without a standard check table, you can enter a text table, a text field, and a long text field. The text fields must use the field type character. You can also specify a view name, usually a view of the check table and text table.
If the system fails to automatically determine the transaction codes for displaying and changing the master data, you can specify them manually.
6. To the characteristic consolidation unit assign any newly created characteristics as an attribute. Only independent characteristics can be assigned as attributes to consolidation units.
These attributes are used for sorting your consolidation units.
Note: Prerequisite for assigning attributes is the reorganization of the field catalog, that is, you need to have copied the field catalog into the customer field catalog. To do this, choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
7. Save and activate the new characteristic.
The Save process stores the new data and, if applicable, creates new tables and views in the ABAP Dictionary.
The Activation process sets the status of the tables, views, data elements, etc. to "active". It also generates the objects that are necessary to enable the consolidation functions to process the new characteristics.
You can activate several characteristics in one step by choosing characteristic maintenance of all characteristics in the initial screen, selecting and activating the inactive characteristics.
8. After activating the characteristic, you are asked whether to generate the view modules. Confirm the generation.
If you exit Characteristic Maintenance and want to ensure that all view modules were generated correctly, choose Environment -> View maintenance modules -> Reorganize.
9. Assign the new characteristics to field groups, if applicable.
Field groups are groupings of characteristics. These let you structure the fields in the field catalog. Individual fields may belong to multiple field groups.
Further notes
Choose Extras -> Log display to display the logs for the activities Save, Activate and Delete.

3EC_CS_1A ECCS Consolidation DataSource does not extract Equity Method

In note 370048/588176 - Difference between database list and group reports.
For Posting level "00" The note says "Not included are Equity method or
Mutual stock method"(Tcode - CXM1).
In the ECC system they have a way to turn this function off to report on this Equity method consolidation units. Is there a work around for the BW extraction as well to extract the equity method consolidation units into BW?
Has anyone created Generic extractors on the ECMCT table?

Documentation on Legal consolidation in ECCS

Hi,
Can anyone provide me documentation about how legal (Company code) consolidation is done in ECCS.
Thanks,
Jyothi

Dear Arnold
I think your problem is to assign the consolidation method to the entity
Into the administrator, define the consolidation method inside the business rule library
for example
90 for Holding
86 for Global
70 for proporcional
etc.
You have to create a input schedule, with the follow row and col
ROW
ENTITY
COL
CONSGROUP
O_ACCT
Afther that you can execute the package /CPMB/OWNERSHIPCALC to calculate the indirect plus direct consolithation percentage
I hope this work for you
