Intercompany Eliminations Options Question

Hi Forum,
I have a few basic questions around IC Elims, that I want to get other experts opinions on.
1. What are all of the options for IC elims?
Correct me if I am wrong, but you can run IC elims 2-3 different ways. One, being SPRUNELIM logic, two using BRs and SPRUNCONSO logic, and three being SPICBOOKING logic (not sure on this one). Are there any other ways to run this?
2. In a Legal application, it is normal practice to use the business rules and SPRUNCONSO logic. So my question is how do the buyers and sellers entities know who bought or sold from them intercompany?
I just want to understand how others get around this, as my knowledge on using Business Rules for IC elims is limited. So I need to understand how the users will be able to see where IC elims are going to/coming from. From what I can tell IC elims will post to a datasource, but does that give the user the ability to see where the Elim came from or went to?
Anyone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike
Question 1
Another way to do elims is to use the same account for both intercompany debits and credits. . The sign that you enter for a counterparty determines whether it is a debit or a credit. This approach will then self eliminate intercompany balances at all levels in the roll-up and it is not necessary to set up elimination rules. The intercompany reporting is then used for merely running mismatch reports and this can be made to be self-policing by the units entering the data. It works particularly well for intercompany payables/receivable, loans payable/receivable, interest payable/receivable, dividends paid/received. Any balance left at group level is the net mismatch on that account and can be analysed on the mismatch report.
Question 2
To do intercompany reporting and elimination you need to set up an intercompany dimension. This is usually the same as the entity dimension, or a flatter version of it. Each entity's intercompany balance must be broken down against the counterparty it is against by using the members of the intercompany dimension. Using the entity and intercompany dimension, it is possible to set the application up so that an entity can run a mismatch report that shows them what a counterpart entity has reported against them as well as what they reported against the counterpart, along with the mismatch. This report could also show the elimination entries.

Intercompany elimination at legal entity and profit centre level

All,
I have a question regarding intercompany elimination. As far as I understand, BPC can only hold one Interco dimension per application. If you want to perform an intercompany elimination for two dimensions which do not roll up into each other, two separate applications are needed. Please see example below to clarify:
Data is reported the following way:
Legal entity Profit Centre Account Interco Value
The problem is that the profit centre hierarchy does not roll up into the legal entity hierarchy mainly because there are profit centres set up as legal entities. Consequently, the legal entity hierarchy and the profit centre hierarchy are two independent hierarchies.
The business requirement is to have an intercompany elimination at profit centre and legal entity level at the same time (hence requiring two Intercos at the same time). This is needed as some of the profit centres are set up as legal entities.
Can someone advise me as to how to resolve this issue? Did anyone come across a similar problem?
Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
Marc

Hi
Try to use 2 application for the interco elimination
for the 1st appls ur entity will be the entity dimension and use intco as intco dimension
for the 2nd one use the profit center as entity and build a new intco
As per interco logic this is using the Intco property in the Entity dimension and Entity property in intco dimension
it is very impossible to do this in one application
Thanks

Difference between US eliminations and "normal" intercompany eliminations?

Hi,
Can a kind soul please explain the differences between intercompany eliminations and US eliminations please?
Thanks

Hi Varda ,
RDA is Real Time Data Acquisition . In this We can retrieve Live data . While using Normal DTP We can t pull live data
For example :- Today We have Create a 50 orders . This 50 order information pulled after completion of sales order creation . we can t see live . But RDA process pulled the data at the point of sales order creation it self ,It support only Stranded DSO .It will use Some industries like FMCG.Retail,banking sector they want to know current data information from BI Side then RDA.

Intercompany Elimination is doubling after running Legal consolidation

Hi BPC Guru's
Intercompany Elimination is doubling after running Legal consolidation Data Manager Package 2nd time tripples when run 3rd time and so on..Only change is that for resolving an issue with balance carry forward, we had changed the datasource type property for the audit trail members that store the eliminated amounts ealier this was A (Automatic) we changed that to (Manual) M and this is causing the doubling to start because if i change it back to A then there is no doubling..but the eliminated values are incorrect.
Would be great somebody provides with their expertise.

Hi Arnold,
This issue is related to another issue that was discussed on the http://scn.sap.com/thread/3247090
Till December all was well. Come January, after I run the consolidation package, the rule takes into account the balance from December for each month’s calculation:
There were 2 suggestions from the above post that i tried:
Check if “COPYOPENING” property in the Audit Trail dimension should not be “Y” -> It was Y for me but changing it to “N” did not solve my issue.
Opening Flow should be assigned “FLOW_TYPE” property with the value of “OPENING”
Both these are done in my system. But still the above issue exists. I also tried to change the rule to “Periodic” type but did not help.
What I basically want is for BPC to ignore the values from previous year and run the calculation based on only the current month’s data.
When we first faced this issue during January closing, as a temporary fix, we changed the “DATASOURCE_TYPE” property of the audit members used in Eliminations from A to M. This made the rule not consider December balances in the calculation.
But doing this gave rise to the doubling issue.
Any suggestions?

Shruti

Intercompany Elimination - No records to process

Hi,
I am working on Intercompany Elimination. I have two entities BP01_Input & BP02 under the entity BP01.
BP01_Input has ICCost of 1200 against BP02.
BP02 has ICSales of 1500 against BP01_Input.
I carried out the following steps:
1.     Changes to the Account dimension u2013 Added the ELIMACC property and filled it with ICDiff for the accounts ICCost and ICSales
2.     Changes in INTCO dimension u2013 Added BP01_input and BP02 in entity property for Intercompany idu2019s I_BP01 and I_BP02
3.     Changes in Entity Dimension u2013 Added ELIM property and filled with u201CYu201D for BP01 and "N" for its subsidiaries
4.     Changes in RptCurrency dimension u2013 USD is the reporting currency
5.     Ran the data manager package for IC elimination for running the default ICELIM logic with parameters for Category (Actual) and Time (2008.Dec)
The data manager runs successfully. But the log shows "No records to process".Elimination of 300 is not shown in ICDiff account.
Please let me know if there are any mistakes or any other configuration steps required.
Thank you.
Regards,
Shoba

Hi John, txs for answering.
Let me set a quick example:
Entity hierarchy:
500
100
200
300
700
800
9000
Entity Account Month Year    DataSrc       Flow     Amount
100     ABC      005     2012 DS_INPUT F_100     9000
I want the elimination intercompany (which runs through automatic adjustments) to create this record:
Entity Account Month Year    DataSrc       Flow     Amount
100     ABC      005     2012 DS_ELIM F_100      -9000
I dont need to save this elimination record at parent level, just for 100 Entity.
This works, but I d like to know if it is valid or not.
PD: I m on BPC NW 7.5 SP11

JAV

Default Logic for Intercompany Elimination (USELIM)

Dear Friends,
I am doing the Intercompany elimination for Management consolidation. I have configured the Entity and Intco and also maintained the "ELIMACC" property in the account dimension. Also i have manintaied the ICELIM.LGF where the following code is been maintained
*RUN_PROGRAM US_ELIM
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
OTHER = ENTITY=%ENTITY_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
do i need to maintain any thing else in the default logic of my application. I have not maintained any Business rules, is it mandatory to maintain the same?. Please suggest me. ( I have no currency convertion since input and reporting is in USD only.)
I tried running the "IC Elimination" package with the sofar done setting am getting the Package status as 'Cancelled'
Thanks
Prem

Group dimension is mandatory to add.

SAP BPC 7.5 - Intercompany Elimination

Dear All,
I have a scenario, where my client has not implemented Trading Partner properly , they assgined 1000 for all the intercompany masters.
So we are in process of implementing properly with the respective company code.
Now we will do that in March 2012, whereas JAN and FEB will have data with Intercompany 1000 and from March it will be respectively 1000, 2000, 3000 etc...
The question is how i can accomodate Jan and Feb Elimination in my BPC system.
Option1 : Is it possible to change the INTCO assingment in dimension from March , if i executed consolidation for Jan and Feb
Option 2 : I will go with Manual posting for Jan and Feb , and run proper eliminations from March
Option 3 : I will load the balance from March and start doing the consolidation(to my understanding as best practice it should be start from Jan 2012)
Fiscal year is Jan to Dec.
Thanks and regards
Praveen Jagadeesan

Cube compression WITH zero elimination option

We have tested turning on the switch to perform "zero elimination" when a cube is compressed. We have tested this with an older cube with lots of data in E table already, and also a new cube with the first compression. In both cases, at the oracle level we still found records where all of the key figures = zero. To us, this option did not seem to work. What are we missing? We are on Oracle 9.2.0.7.0 and BW 3.5 SP 17
Thanks, Peggy

Haven't looked at ZERO Elimination in detail in the latest releases to see if there have been changes, but here's my understanding based on the last time I dug into it -
When you run compression with zero elimination, the process first excluded any individual F fact table rows with all KFs = 0, then if any of the summarized F fact table rows had all KF = 0, that row was excluded ( you could have two facts with amounts that net to 0 in the same request or different requests where all other Dims IDs are equal) and not written to the E fact table. Then if an E fact table row was updated as a result of a new F fact table row being being merged in, the process checked to see if the updated row had all KF values = 0, and if so, deleted that updated row from the E fact table.
I don't beleive the compression process has ever gone thru and read all existing E fact table rows and deleted ones where all KFs = 0.
Hope that made sense. We use Oracle, and it is possible that SAP has done some things differently on different DBs. Its also possible, that the fiddling SAP had done over that last few years trying to use Oracle's MERGE functionality at different SP levels comes into play.
Suggestions -
I'm assuming that teh E fact table holds a significant percentage of rows have all KFs = 0. If it doesn't, it's not worth pursuing.
Contact SAP, perhaps they have a standalone pgm that deletes E fact table rows where all KFs = 0. It could be a nice tool to have.
If they don't have one, consider writing your own pgm that deletes the rows in question. You'll need to keep downstream impacts in mind, e.g. aggregates (would need to be refilled - probably not a big deal), and InfoProviders that receive data from this cube.
Another option would be to clone the cube, datamart the data to the new cube. Once in the new cube, compress with zero elimination - this should get rid of all your 0 KF rows. Then delete the contents of the original cube and datamart the cloned cube data back to the original cube.
You might be able to accomplish this same process by datamarting the orig cube's data to itself which might save some hoop jumping. Then you would have to run a selective deletion to get rid of the orig data, or perhaps if the datamarted data went thru the PSA, you could just delete all the orig data from the cube, then load datamarted data from the PSA. Once the new request is loaded, compress with zero elimination.
Now if you happen to have built all your reporting on the this cube to be from a MultiProvider on teh cube rather than directly form the this cube, you could just create anew cube, export the data to it, then swap the old and new cubes in the MultiProvider. This is one of the benefits of always using a MultiProvider on top of a cube for reporting (an SAP and consultant recommended practice) - you can literally swap underlying cubes with no impact to the user base.

HP Officejet 6310 all-in-one wireless option questions

I have a HP Officejet 6300 All-in-One printer and I was using it with my wire network connection. I just moved to a new home, which I rent, and I do not want to make new wholes to past the cables then this is my question:
"I have a Cisco Linksys AE1000 high performance wireless-N usb adpater (dual band)" and I saw this product Female USB A to Male Ethernet RJ45 Plug Adapter (on Amazon that I think will be great if I can use it). Can I connect them to make my printer wireless?"
Please help.
Thanks.
BAK

Unfortunately that will not work for this printer. Wireless printing is set up through the printers software that you install on your computer. Since this printer is not a wireless printer, there will be no option to set it up wirelessly in the software, the only options will be ethernet or USB.

Pre-order pickup, reward certificate, and payment option questions

I pre-ordered an item on bestbuy.com for pickup at a local store. When I got there, I asked if I can use my reward certificate and the customer rep said that I couldn't. Is that true?
Another person next to her said she could back out the charges and re-enter the item, but when I told her I got it at a special pre-order price (gamers club unlocked price) she said she wouldn't be able to honor it.
Also, if I bought an item online and picked it up at the store. Can I change my payment method at the register? I asked someone a couple weeks ago and they said they couldn't change payment methods.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there Mcbutters-
We appreciate that you choose Best Buy to place your pre-order! I’m sorry to hear about the confusion you’ve had with this order and some others around how to get that reward certificate added to an order. Hopefully I can help clear some things up for you.
To answer your first paragraph, that it technically true. When you place an order for in-store pickup, you are charged for the order when the store indicates it is ready for pickup. At that point, the payment method cannot be changed. However, once the transaction is complete, the store may be able to perform a return and then re-ring the purchase for you. Keep in mind however, that any funds used from gift cards, reward certificates and your credit card would not be immediately available as in general it takes a few business days for those funds to go back on the cards or accounts.
This leads me to my next point, which is generally we are unable to modify the payment method beyond changing a credit card on your order beyond 30 minutes after the order has been placed. While your credit card is not charged until the item ships or the store indicates that it is ready for pickup, the card is generally authorized right away for 3-5 business days. This is the same time frame we offer for changing shipping or pickup options as well, you can find more information on that here. Another option would be to do as Batman1982 suggested and cancel your order to then place a new one. Again, it may take a few business days for funds to return to gift cards, your My Best Buy account, etc.
However, there should be no reason why they would not have been able to apply the 20% off new games software benefit that you get from being a Gamers Club Unlocked member.
I hope that this helps, but if you have any further questions, please let me know.

The customer here wanted to set an option 43 and 60 to dhcp adresses in this local pool.
What I am wondering is if the option command I have set works like the excluded addresses command does. Aka setting the option in range from .100 to .199?
I also added the ip dhcp relay information option to the config.
Other suggestions for this?
Haven't really set up many dhcp pools with option before. The customer's goal is to get autodiscovery going on their end.

Intercompany Implementation Options (in Projects) vs GIS

Our company is project based and we utilize the intercompany billing between OUs. We've defined our Provider and Receivers in our Project module Implementation Options. We don't import any other non-Oracle intercompany transactions via interfaces. We've defined our AutoAccounting rules and clearing accounts. Can you tell me what we are doing differently than in GIS? What is GIS ?

If these are full size images, you really don't need to go above 300 ppi. I would save as TIFF or PSD unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so. JPEG applies compression every time you save and close the image, so you'll want to convert to another format for working anyway, and storage is cheap now. (There's a difference between ppi and dpi, although scanner makers ignore it. You want the highest possible dpi when printing, but the human eye cannot distinguish much difference when you go above 300 ppi. If you want to make extra sure, go to 600, but that's not going to provide more useful information to a printer, really. Mostly just a much larger file size.)
I would also scan in color. When you scan in greyscale you are saving much less information, and you might want that someday.

SELECT option question....

What is the meaning of FOR ALL ENTRIES IN.. as in the code below: where can I find the documentation of FOR ALL?
Code:
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE L_SPETAB

          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LVBUK
          WHERE VBELN = LVBUK-VBELN
          AND   LIFSK IN LIFSPE
          AND   VKORG = VKORG
          AND   VTWEG IN VTWEG
          AND   SPART IN SPART.
What is the meaning of IN (as in the last line of code above)?
Thanks,

Hi,
From online help ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3a1f358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Tabular Conditions:
The WHERE clause of the SELECT statement has a special variant that allows you to derive conditions from the lines and columns of an internal table:
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <itab> WHERE <cond> ...
<cond> may be formulated as described above. If you specify a field of the internal table <itab> as an operand in a condition, you address all lines of the internal table. The comparison is then performed for each line of the internal table. For each line, the system selects the lines from the database table that satisfy the condition. The result set of the SELECT statement is the union of the individual selections for each line of the internal table. Duplicate lines are automatically eliminated from the result set. If <itab> is empty, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is disregarded, and all entries are read.
The internal table <itab> must have a structured line type, and each field that occurs in the condition <cond> must be compatible with the column of the database with which it is compared. Do not use the operators LIKE, BETWEEN, and IN in comparisons using internal table fields. You may not use the ORDER BY clause in the same SELECT statement.
You can use the option FOR ALL ENTRIES to replace nested select loops by operations on internal tables. This can significantly improve the performance for large sets of selected data.

Ferry Lianto
