Group Change Task

Hi,
Is it necessary to specify Net Income-prior to first consolidation and Net-Income method change in Net Income tab of Appropriation of Retained Earnings? If yes, why?
(path: Consolidation of Inv > Settings > Appropriation of Retained Earnings -Tab Net Income)
Please advise.
Best Regards,

Hi Dan,
If COI functionality is not used (but Group change is used),then is it necessary to have these item defined?

Consolidation group change: Balance sheet/income statement balance 14,560

Dear All,
While performing the consolidation group change task, system throws the error message :
Balance sheet/income statement balance 14,560,497.62- INR
Message no. UCD1011
Diagnosis
The document to be posted is not completely in balance.
Entries involving items of the balance sheet or the income statement must always have a zero balance to ensure that both the balance sheet and the income statement are balanced, respectively. This is not true in this case.
System Response
Entry cannot be posted.
Procedure
Correct the amounts for the balance sheet items and/or income statement items.
I have checked the COI Settings and not showing any error.
I have analysed the problem and found that system is not picking one FS item 107501 i.e Profit and Loss CY.
Can any one suggest me how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
G Vinod

Hi DAN,
i ll elaborate what i wanted to convey.
When we upload
1. TB Equal to ZERO
2. Net of BS items may not be equal to ZERO
Eg: if September 2010 (FY is April to Mar) file is being uploaded, the profit till the period September will be in PL items. so to the extent of profit element will be the difference in BS Items.
when u run profit calculation task, after data upload and validation, system will pass the following entry,
In case of Loss:
BS - Profit and loss - CY -           Dr
PL- Profit before MI         -          Cr
BS- BS Clearing A/c                     Cr
PL - PL Clearing A/c                    Dr
when u run PCC, system ll pick these two items *BS - Profit and loss - CY and BS- BS Clearing A/c. so obviously, posting cannot be done.
Please tell me if u still not understand
Thanks and Regards,
G Vinod

COI not reading equity data after consolidation group change

Dear experts,
I am running the consolidation of investments task for a new group that has been created on 012.2009. This new group CG2 is a child of an existing one CG1, and all the consolidation units that I have in 012.2009 under CG2 were in 012.2008 under the CG1.
In my new group GC2 all the units have as first consolidation period 012.2009 and on the parent group they have as last consolidation period 012.2009.
The problem is that when I run the COI task the system does not read the equity data for these consolidation units. I have both, equity data and Investment data defined to be read from additional financial data. The system reads correctly the investment data for the parent consolidation unit, and tries to eliminate it, but as it does not read the equity data of the child so it takes the value to consolidation a difference, that is incorrect.
Does anyone know what I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Sónia

Hi Sonia
i dont want to confuse you as Dan is guiding so far. let me put my thoughts some here.
CG1 12/2008
   - CU - A    Parent    12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU- B                   12/2008 to 999/9999
   - CU - C                  12/2008 to 999/9999
do you have any another sub node for CU-B and CU-C? as B has investment in C
New Group: 12/2009
CG1
   - CU -A    12/08 to 999/9999
   - CU - B    12/08 to 12/9999
   - CU - C     12/08 to 12/2009
   CG2 group supose to be like this
CG1
    -CU-A
    -CU-B
       I--- CG2
             CU - B   Parent 12/09 to 999/9999
             CU - C                12/09 to 999/9999
     - CU-C
Now with above scenario you can invest in C from B and system will treate as FIRST CONSOLIDATION based on AFD Investments/Equity
How did you maintain B investments in C at CG1 12/08 level?
and or    as per Dan
You have to run PREP for CONSOLIDATION GROUP CHANGE task before CT task and after Elim Taks but before COI task
thx

BCS Virtual Cube Cons Group Change

Hi,
We have a number of Bex reports that read from the BCS virtual cube for our month end reporting.
Quite recently, we prerfomed some Cons Group changes in the BCS application which has impacted our Bex reports via the virtual cube.
If we check the contents of the virtual cube with Cons Group displayed in the output, we see it is missing data (period blank) and this is the data that is being extracted to our Bex report.
If however we check the contents of the virtual cube without diplaying Cons Group, then we get our disired result.
Has anyone experienced anything similiar? Is it possible to get Bex to read the data we require?
Thanks in advance.

It is suggested you read the SAP BCS help for cons group changes.
In most cases the cons units should not be removed from the "divesting" cons group when adding it to another cons group. The cons group master data for the "divesting" cons group should simply be updated for these units with a period/year of divestiture - the period of change.
Additionally the cons group changes tasks move the balance sheet items from the "divesting" cons group to the "acquiring" group with posting level 02. 12 and 22 records to allow for reporting of pre- and post- change reporting on these cons groups.

Standardizing entries:Consolidation Group Change

Hi,
We have document type of posting level 12, to reverse the document type of posting level 10 (standardizing entries) when consolidation unit change the group or leaves the group.
When group change task is executed, the balance becomes zero.
However, when balance carryforward is executed, the Document type of posting level 12 is not carried forward to next year. This results in balance appearing in the accounts where postings were madeat posting level 10 in the last year.
Please advise.
Regards,
UR

Can you confirm you see the PL10 entries if you run a list of totals records, standard reporting logic, and the consolidation group where the entity previously existed?
If you have PL10 balance sheet activity for 00 - 03/2007 and divest in 04/2007, the system books the PL12 in 04 to write down these balances. In the "Standard" reporting logic, the system will look for all 00, 01, and 10's for company XYZ between 00/2007 and 04/2007 --> those are the dates when the company was a member of the consolidation group.
When you do a BCF to 2008, the PL12 should not carry forward. When reporting on 01/2008, for example, "Standard" logic will see that company XYZ was divested in 04/2007 and will look for any postings related to that company. The PL12's are only needed during the year in which the company was divested.
Note that you can keep feeding balances to the company and the system will keep booking intercompany eliminations, etc. But as long as you have the master data and AFD set correctly, that company should not appear in the consolidated reports.

VBA to identify a group of tasks being updated

Good Afternoon,
I have not had much luck with Project questions here, but now that I have dug a little deeper I think I can ask a question that you may be able to help with. If any of you know of a better place to find Project VBA advice, please let me know!
This question is also gathering dust over at UA. http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Custom-Macros-Project-20-t2022616.html
First off, I am writing a macro that is triggered when a task is updated in project. I used the code from this page as a starting point.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee...fice.12%29.aspx
The macro I wrote works well. I changed the code up a bit so that it runs each time the user sets a task to 100% complete. When the user sets a task to 100% complete, the macro pulls today's date and adds it to the custom date field (Date2).
My next challenge is to warn the user if they update start or finish dates for a task with a specific tag in a text field (Text15). This new functionality will be embedded with the previous functionality I already wrote. Here is the problem. When I need to
update a bunch of tasks, or when I update one task that changes other tasks due to links, the event is triggered for each and every task. This creates lots of message boxes that I don't need.
On the surface this makes sense because I want to know each time a task changes, but from a practicality standpoint I only need to be notified once for each group of tasks that are updated. For example, if I update one date, and linking causes 10 other dates
to change, I only want to be notified once. Similarly, if I highlight and change multiple dates I only want to get warned about it once, not once for each task.
To achieve this I think I need to access some kind of collection that represents the set of tasks that are being updated as a result of user input. This is where I need help. I am not sure how to access this information.
For your information here are the code elements I have written for the existing macro.
This section goes in "ThisProject":
<code>
Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
   EnableEvents
End Sub
</code>
This section goes in a module named "modTaskUpdate":
<code>
Public TskUpdate As New clsTaskUpdate
Sub EnableEvents()
   Set TskUpdate.App = MSProject.Application
End Sub
</code>
Finally, this section goes in a Class Module named "clsTaskUpdate":
<code>
Public WithEvents App As MSProject.Application
Private Sub App_ProjectBeforeTaskChange(ByVal tsk As Task, ByVal Field As Long, ByVal NewVal As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
'Code for managing 100% complete and Date Completed
'(This part works OK, see the next section for the code I need to modify)
    If ((Field = pjTaskPercentComplete) And (NewVal = 100)) Then
        'Add today's date to completed date field
        'MsgBox "Adding today's date: " & Date & " to the Date2(DateCompleted) field."
        tsk.Date2 = Date
    End If
    If ((Field = pjTaskPercentComplete) And (NewVal = 0)) Then
        'Remove date from completed date field
        'MsgBox "Removing date from the Date2(DateCompleted) field."
        tsk.Date2 = ""
    End If
'Code for managing warnings to user if PST dates will change.
' Currently this message is triggered for each task that causes a change.
' Can we only trigger this task once for each group of changed dates?
    If ((Field = pjTaskStart) Or (Field = pjTaskFinish)) Then
        If (insrt(tsk.Text15, "PST") <> 0) Then
            MsgBox "Warning! You have changed a date that is linked to a line in the PST. As a result the PST has been automatically updated."
        End If
    End If
End Sub
</code>
FYI: The PST is an external Excel file that has its values automatically update via linked cells in Project.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Nate

Nate,
Yes, as far as I know, there is no "collection" of task changes. Remember, a collection is a group of objects and a change isn't an object.
I see you found one of the posts I responded to regarding paste links. If you have ABSOLUTE file discipline management, then you might be okay with paste links, but since there is a much better alternative (i.e. VBA) to do what you need I'd avoid the paste
link idea. As Clint Eastwood said in his Dirty Harry movie, "Do you feel lucky?"
There have been various posts with code to export Project data to Excel. Unfortunately I find the search capabilities of these forums to be sorely lacking so rather than a link, here is some sample code you can adapt.

SEM-BCS Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes

Hi All,
Is the task "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" only implemented when Consolidation of Investments has also been implemented?
Does "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" have any value on its own?
Any comments, replies or suggestions most welcome.

Hi,
I think that prep for cons group changes is independent (but supplementary to) from CoI.
See what is said in help:
"When in the middle of a fiscal year a consolidation unit is either acquired by a consolidation group (acquisition), divested from a consolidation group (divestiture), or <b>changes its accounting technique</b> (method change), the following data must be adjusted:
- Reported financial data
- Standardized financial data
- Consolidated data with posting level 20"
As you can see, not only consolidated data are to be changed, but also Standardized and Reported.
Moreover, as is seen above, changes of accounting technique will also trigger such activities.
So, my answers:
1. No
2. Yes.
Best regards,
Eugene

OIM-OID Connector: OID Group Recon Task and organizations

Hi,
I'm evaluating OIM and its OID Connector.
We have groups in our existing OID. We thought that we could use the OID Connector OID Group Recon Task to import those groups into OIM and make them Groups in OIM.
However, when we run the task, it appears to import our groups from OID as organizations, not as groups. It's not clear to me from the OID Connector documentation what exactly the OID Group Recon task is supposed to do. That's why we assumed it was an OOTB method for reconciling OID groups into OIM groups.
What are we doing wrong? Why do we end up with our OID Groups becoming OIM Organizations after running the task?
We are using version 9.4.11 of the OID Connector.
Also, a side issue: how can we delete unwanted organizations from OIM? There's a delete option but it just seems to mark the organizations as deleted but they are still there.
Thanks
Eric

Change task list in Qm Lot

Hi freinds,
How to change task list in inspection lot manually??
I have maintained manual assignment of task list in material master.
Regards,
Amit Shirsath.

Hi Amit,
There are two ways to incorporate your requirement: -
1. With having singable tasklist( With singable Tasklist counter)
Assume you have a Material "M"
Customer: - C1 And C2
Tasklist Group:- ABC
Counter: - 01
Go to QP02. Select the The Tasklist group counter line item, click on "Material Assignment" And assign the Material and both the customer C1 and C2 here to the material.
(Material will be assigned two times)
Now go to characteristics overview screen. Select the MIC and click on "Dependant Characteristic". Where if you have different limits (5 to 10 for C1 and 5 to 15 for C2), you can assign it the relevant line item representing the customer.
2. Two different group counters:-
Assume you have a Material "M"
Customer: - C1 And C2
Tasklist Group:- ABC
Counter: - 01 for C1
Counter: - 02 for C2
Then it is very simple boss! Go to material assignment and assign the materials along with the Customers over there.
update us to help you more, reward points to help you better!

Consolidation Group Changes

Dear Team,
Through support I can resolve Issues ASAP, Once again Thanks a lot.
I need Information, in my client Cons Unit Hierarchy Structure as under:
For Example:
We have the following Structure
Cons Group Q1 ---> Cons Unit A, B
Cons Group Q2 --> Cons Unit C, F
Cons Group Q3 --> Cons unit D and Cons Unit E
In current Period Cons unit E removed from Cons Group Q3 and added in Cons Group Q2 and also need not maintain Cons Group Q3, and assign Cons Unit D to Cons Group Q1
Expected Hierarchy:
Cons Group Q1 ---> Cons Unit A, B and D
Cons Group Q2 ---> Cons Unit C, F and E
I suggest to run Task Cons Group Change, and there is no COI in my client. Give me suggestion what procedure I have to follow for this either Acquisition, Divestiture for the above.
Thanks & Regards
madhu

To move cons unit E from Group Q3 to Cons group Q2, add E to cons group Q2 without removing it from Q3. Then in the cons group master data for cons group Q3 indicate the period of divestiture for cons unit E. For the cons group Q2 master data should automatically include cons unit E with period of first consolidation per the period when it was added.

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...

SAP query for Material pricing group changes in material.

Dear all,
I'm trying to generate a query for Material Pricing group changes in material. For that I've to retrieve data from follwing three tables MVKE, CDHDR & CDPOS.
Firstly while generating infoset -
I tried it by joining tables MVKE & CDHDR, but system is not allowing it, also table CDPOS can't bejoined.
Then I tried by reading dirctly from table MVKE and then adding additional fields in it. query created using this infoset is giving the output, however it's giving only 1 entry per material entered in input.
for multiple entries in output for MPG changes in same material I tried creating addtional structure for table CDHDR & CDPOS but again I'm getting only 1 entry per material.
please suggest how I can get MPG changes done in specified time period for a material.
Thanks.

Hi
Check the report RSSCD100 and run it for object MAT_FULL for table MVKE. Use this report as a template for your own development.
I hope this helps you

Hi,
Please send tables structures and sample data from that tables. And, of course what should be the output. :) Just sending your query won't help us to find a solution.

User-Groups Change history

Hi,
Does SAP system maintains the user-groups change history in any tables. Like it does for users in USH* tables.
Is Group Creation date, etc is recorded in any table ?
If user-group description is changed, is it recorded in any tables ?
Any pointers would be a great help !!!
Thanks & Regards,
Chandrasekhar.

You could check the USGRP* tables to see if any relevant information is present. Hope this helps.

Deleted and Changed tasks

How to track deleted and changed tasks in Project Professional?
OR is there a way to track the same when Project Professional is connected to Project Server??
Thanks, Siskin.

Hi Siskin,
Unfortunately, unless you develop custom code to log transactions in Project Pro (and Pwa in the project plan), there is no out of the box feature to track tasks' updates.
The baseline feature can give you a limited (11) number of snapshots you can compare your current project plan to.
Hope this helps,
