Equity to Purchase

Guys,
When we change accounting method from equity to purchase then system will automatically post the prior equity to the account "Net income - Method change".
For example :
2008, the equity as below :
Share capital -1000
Share premium -1500
and when i change the method from equity to purchase in 2009, system will reverse the equity and put it all in one "net income-method change" account.
the question is :
How to separate the net income - method change for both of equity.
So I should have 2 account for the net income method for the result.
Hopefully i explain the problem well
Thanks in advace.

Thanks for replying.
For example :
in configuration "appropriation of RE" -> net income , i set net income-method change = FSI "RE method change"
2008 , I assign the cons unit to equity method.
I upload equity data as follow :
Share capital -100
Share Premium -20
2009, I change the accounting method from equity to purchase.
When i run the CoI task, system will automatically put +100 +20 =120 in RE method change.
The question is, can i separate the amount? I need the system to put 100 to share capital and 20 to share premium (because equity in subsidiary should be zero in consolidation b/s report).
Thanks.

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,

What are Ownership Eliminations

Hello Gurus,
Please can some one tell me what are Ownership Eliminations? How different are these from Intercompany Eliminations?
Also our Business Users are asking to do Full Consolidation by which they means the Holding Company/Parent Node Companies will hold 100 % Ownership on their Subcidaries thugh in reality not. I mean Legally they have their own stake of Ownership. BUt for the consolidation purose our Users are asking to consolidate every thing to 100 % at group level.
I am queit confused with this statements.
So can some explain what that means to BPC Consolidation of Investment Business Rules.
There I am finding Equity, Proprtina, Purchase, Parent, Global, Holding Methods.
To add this they want to calcuate Minority interest for onl those Entites which are owned by Outside 3rd party Company/Partners(Joint Venture). How do I do this?
Can some one can draw a line of my understanding as getting way too confused with this whole process.
Any quick response is highly appreciated

Software Update gave an error I can't reproduce at the moment; but the upshot was that it could not write the package file to the directory. Permissions were drwxr-xr-x. I've solved that by making /Library/Packages writable by any user in group admin. (chown root:admin /Library/Packages; chmod 775 /Library/Packages.) Call me paranoid but I don't want to make that directory world-writable.
The reason I'm updating in that fashion is that I choose to use the "minimalist approach" to system updates discussed in a MacFixIt article at http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070427001751397.

Amortization of Goodwill after method change

Hi all,
Need some help.
It is not really clear to me how does BCS take into account (equity-method)goodwill, and further more - amortization of goodwill, in/after Method Change activity.
Business scenario
Step 1.
Company "A" (equity - 1000 monetary units) is consolidated using equity method (25%) since Q4/2005 (parent company invested 4000 monetary units).
Step 2.
At the end of Q4/2006 method change takes place, equity to purchase (25% --> 51%).
Step 3.
At the end Q4/2007 parent company increases its ownership in company "A" (51% --> 60%).
Customizing
- COI method "METH1" utilizes equity method as an accounting technique. Acquisitions - group shares. Extraordinary amortization of goodwill
- COI method "METH2" utilizes purchase method as an accounting technique. Acquisitions - group shares. Ordinary amortization of goodwill, starting next Q, during 20 years.
Expected behavior
Step 1.
Equity-method goodwill arises (3750 monetary units).
Step 2.
"New" goodwill arises (3910 monetary units) from 26% (25% --> 51%).
Method changes from "METH1" to "METH2".
Next Q (Q1/2007) goodwill (3750 + 3910) is amortized - 95,75 (over 20 years, per Q).
Step 3.
"New" goodwill arises from 9% (51% --> 60%) and amortized next Q.
"Previous" is amortized.
Reality bites...
Step 1.
Equity-method goodwill arises (3750 monetary units).
Step 2.
"New" goodwill arises (3910 monetary units) from 26% (25% --> 51%).
Method changes from "METH1" to "METH2".
Next Q (Q1/2007) goodwill remains the same - goowdwill is not amortized.
Step 3.
"New" goodwill arises from 9% (51% --> 60%).
Only the newly arised goodwill (9%) is amortized next Q.
"Previous" is still not amortized.
Is it "standard" behavior?
What causes the difference in Steps 2 and 3?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Anton,
It's a complicated question that might be answered, IMHO, only by people who experienced the situation. Or by those who make some experiments in the system. Looks like there is nobody who have or did this. Sorry!

Consolidation Group Change and Consolidation Activity

Hi Experts,
I am new in SAP consolidation, I have a question regarding the difference between the function "consolidation group change" and "consolidation activity".
If I read in the sap library, these 2 functions are separated, but if I look at the content, I saw some similarity where the consolidation group change also included the investment activity like acquisition and divestiture.
Could anyone explain what are the difference between these 2 function?
When I was a user, if the group acquiered a new cons unit, I just add a new cons unit in the consolidation group hierarchy, assign consolidation method, add the additional financial data for the ownership percentage (activity = first consolidation), enter the reported financial data, run CI function and add one more column in my report painter.
When I read SAP library, I saw the "consolidation group change" function talking about the consolidation activity, now I wonder, what are the difference? What is the business scenario for using the "normal" CI activity and the "consolidation group change"? Please anyone advise. Thank you.
regards,

Normal C/I is a regular acquisition or divestiture. Cons Group Change could be movement of a company from one consolidation group to another (i.e., parent A sells company 1 to parent B). Or you own a company 20% and purchase an additional 60% and must switch accounting technique from Equity to Purchase. BCS will need to book Cons Group Change entries to account for the acct technique change. (In the past, at 20%, you would only book equity pickup, or equitization entries, to the parent as PL30 adjustments in the CoI. Now you must bring in the complete balances of the company due to purchase method of consolidation. BCS books consolidation-group specific adjustments to do this.)
Example....
"Normal C/I activity"
New company A needs be consolidated in Cons Group 1 starting in 03/2007. Add the company to the Cons Group master data, set the accounting technique, update additional financial data w/ activity First consolidation and load data for the new company. Run COI
"Cons Group Change"
Company A is consolidated in Cons Group 1, but starting in 06/2007 they will be sold to a parent in Cons Group 2. Update the Cons Group master data...setting company A to divest in 06/2007 from CG1 and to First Consolidate in CG2 starting in 06/2007. If using Org Change logic, create an Org Change number and define a sender/receiver relationship for CG1 --> CG2. In additional financial data, create a total transfer activity w/ org change logic from CG1 to CG2. Run Org Change task and BCS will zero out balance sheet related to company A in CG1 on posting level 02/12/22. In CG2, similar postings will book "catch up" entries in 06/2007 to bring full balance sheet into CG2. In CoI, company will be transferred to new parent.
Hopefully that makes sense...

First Consolidation purchase method subsequent consoli.. in Equity method

I have a scenario where the business wants to eliminate investments and equity postings. So investment should be offset against equity.(like in Purchase method). After the client also wants the Net income from the investee to be rolled into parent .(like in equity method offset against investment and offset to a P&L account.). Can some body give me a suggestion how to configure this kind of situation.Is this scenario reasonable.
Also all subs are 100% owned.So no minority or goodwill activities are taking place. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Sanjay

The earnings of the subsidiaries is automatically included in the cons group results.
However, I have seen this request on more than one occasion and have dealt with it differently depending on the reason for this requirement.
For determining the value of a parent, including investment in subs, the best approach IMHO is to create a separate cons group hierarchy exactly the same as the legal or standard hierarchy, with different group names (we used the first letter L for each group in the legal hierarchy and first letter E for each group in the "equity" hierarchy). In the equity hierarchy each unit is assigned the equity method except for the parent company of each group. Then COI is executed for this hierarchy. In the equity hierarchy, all the earnings is posted to the parent. Reports may be written for this hierarchy to achieve the required results.

Exchange rate in case of equity and dividend.

Hi experts,
I required your help, please see below request and help.
I have created a equity (stock) transaction in foreign currency using t.code - TS01
My purchase in USD ( for ex. 10000 USD). At the time of purchase i am able to put an exchange rate manually and that's fine
It is also generating my dividend entry through security master condtion (FWZZ) in USD. here i am not able to change my exchange rate in case of dividend can u please help me how we can manually change an exchange rate in case of condition item.
We have a facility to change an exchange rate in loan module but not able to figure out how we can change a exchange rate in securities module.
Please help
Regards
Gaurav Gupta

Hi,
Since you updated the Exch rate manually it applies the same rate for Dividend as well. Please upload fresh Exch Rate for fresh date using OB08.
You may need to maintain this table on a periodic basis as Foreign currency is involved in the position.

First conso with Equity method and LDT

Hi Gurus,
I have to perform a first consolidation with legacy data transfer for a Company consolidated at Equity.
This company (Let's say company A), at the date of first conso in SEM-BCS, has accumulated some Retained Earnings. Company A is owned by company B.
Company A :
Capital : -100
RE : -20
Accumulated RE : -50
Companty B :
Historical Investment : 120
If I look to the SAP doc and perform the fisrt conso in the system, BCS will only adjust the investment with the GW entry I make in the AFD. That's it.
But I also need to have an adjustement of the investment with the accumulated RE (which is in fact the Equity method postings of the prior periods that were done out of BCS) !!
NB : Equity Holding adjustments are read from RFD.
How the system can perform this historical adjustment ? Why is the system not able to do the same as for Purchase with legacy data transfer ?
many thanks for your help

Thibaud

Equity Futures-Accounting

Hi Exprerts
Can anybody list flow of accounting entries for equity futures (sap standard process)
I pass following entries at first stage
Statistical GL Dr/Cr
Busienss Partner Cr/Dr
On maturity , how to reverse this entry. Whether to enter opposite transaction and close the entry or any route available in sap?
Regards
Vimal

Hi,
basically, Futures follow a Open/Close-logic (or - using the Matching-functionality: only Open-Transaction Types closed via TPM91). Futures do not have any Maturity/Delivery-functionality - every open position has to be closed via the opposite (Close) Transaction.
e.g.
TTyp 400 Open Purchase => TTyp 1500 is closed via
TTyp 500 Sale to Close => FTyp 1511
Life-Cycle: FTR_CREATE (FTR_EDIT to settle) Open transaction, TBB1, PMVM (incl. CM or separately via TPM25)
FTR_CREATE (FTR_EDIT to settle) Close Transaction, TBB1, PMVM (incl. CM or separately via TPM25)
Closing (Month-End/Q/Year-End): TPM1

Cons Group Changes & Divestiture with Equity Holdings

In the scenario with cons unit hierarchy below, company A is the parent of company B and B is the parent of C and D. B is accounted for using purchase method, while C and D are equity method.
Cons Group A
     Cons unit A
     Cons group B
          Cons unit B
          Cons unit C
          Cons unit D
Company B is sold, along with its subsidiaries C and D. In periods previous to the divestiture, there are intercompany transactions between B, C and D, for which eliminations are recorded at posting level 20. For standard reporting these eliminations are ignored for both cons groups A and B due to C and D using equity method.
In Cons of Investment settings, Posting level 20 records are not included in location of values, calculation base.
In the period of divestiture, the cons group changes for posting level 22 are created. However, these are recorded directly to cons group B, and are therefore also included in reporting for cons group A. This is causing a problem because the reports exclude the level 20 records but include the offsetting level 22 records.
Has anyone dealt with this and if so how?
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any experiences relating to this and/or suggestions!
Dan

Just extending the same point,
system will generate the 22 PL records where in both
consolidation unit and partner unit of the group participating
in eliminations follow purchase method.
In your case B (parent company ) is following purchase
method and investee are following equity method.
so 22 PL records are not expected.
since it happened other way , some wild idea may be to check
whether there is any method change during consolidation
interval.
