Interunit eliminations in ECCS

Hello Consolidation Guru,
I have a problem with executing inter-unit eliminations in ECCS (transaction CX54). I have set up all the configuration appropriately - Methods, Tasks and Document types, and have specified the FS Items that should be eliminated. Also, I have posted several documents and specified the trading partner in the line item of the relevant accounts.
However, when I execute the elimination transaction CX54 (or using the consolidation monitor), I get the message "No elimination needs to be done for the specified selection."
I feel I have been through each relevant step of the configuration for this to work, but maybe I am missing something. Any ideas will be welcome.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Haresh Sangani

Hi Haresh,
Before you post a question try to read the Rules & Regulations of the Forum.
First & Foremost is search for your query if it has been asked before or even if you get a slight idea from something hope as a SAP consultant you can try to solve by yourself.
Second is the most important one - Dont ever Copy/Paste a question or an answer.
You have copied the same question which Harmind has posted before.
[Harmind's Question|Inter-unit Elimination in ECCS;
Dan was actually answering Harmind's query & if ur query is the same as Harmind you can wait for Dan to clarify things clearly with Harmind & give him the solution.You can verywell use it after that.
If you have a different query, as Dan suggested you can specify it in the same thread with the details or You can create a new thread with your OWN problem which you have faced.
Instead you have copy pasted the same content what Harmind has asked.
Try to be more specific if you face the same problem or avoid copy pasting.
Hope you will get the right solution when you do it in the right way.
Regards
Andrew

Reporting interunit elimination documents

Hi gurus:
I have a problem, I need to do a report with query designer with documents of interunit eliminations of all month from the first consolidation this query will be with the same estructure that a document interunit elimination.
thanks for your help

If you have document types configured for automatic inversion, you must use period initialization.
If you do not use automatic inversion document types and therefore do not need period initialization, then you will still see period 000 records with balances for the documents, but the system knows to factor these into the automatic tasks to determine accurate periodic postings for the accurate balances.
For what it is worth, I prefer to avoid this type of document and the period initialization task, and have had success in doing so in many cases. However, the customer enterprise determines whether or not that is the requirement.

Manual Interunit Elimination

Dear experts,
I have a case like this. From R3, some P & L accounts which are used for interunit profit & loss eIimination don't have information of trading partners. Is it possible to only put information of "trading partner" in BCS without having such information from R3, and successfully perform manual interunit elimination of profit & loss?
Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Rina,
In case of elimination of revenue and expenses in P&L, you may have trading partner on the revenue side and no partner on expenses. In this case you may use one-sided elimination.
Or, you may know the proper partners, then:
- use the manual entries
or
- enter partners into BCS through data entry layouts and use the standard elimination.
And the answer to your question: yes, you may.

Interunit elimination for P&L accounts

HI all,
In the 'Interunit elimination' we would like that for p&l interunit eliminations (accounts 6200 and 7000) the system would automaticaly clear them againts the Current year retained earning account (1290 in our case), consequently the P&L Annual net income statement Item (8000 in our case) and to balance the posting at CU level we need to configure a clearing account.
In several documentation we have read that the offseting account was a specific consolidation item similar to 1290 (1299 in our case) that after running all the eliminations ends with a balance on it.
Example: 7000 - Income' = 12.000,00 >>> The adjustment posting is:
D 7000 12.000,00 u20AC
H 1299 -12.000,00 u20AC
D 1290 12.000,00 u20AC
H 8000 -12.000,00 u20AC
What should be done with the resulting balance on 1299 account and which task type (authomatic, manual,...) it's oftenly used for doing whatever that has to be done and furthemore: is it generally cleared againts one account type (receivable, payables, ...)?
This is our current customizing but maybe there could exist a simplier way to run the Interunit elimination for P&L accounts?
Thanks in advance

Interunit elimination documents

Hi Friends
I wonder if is correct that the documents of Interunit Elimination appear after execute balance carry forward?
example
I have a document for interunit elimination in period 12 and then I execute Balance carryforward (period 1)and execute the task "acc recev Vs account Pay" and the total data from this item still appear.
Is necesary to do the task "period initialization"?
Thanks in advance
cheers

KALC (recons) eliminated in ECC 6.0 with New GL?

Hello all,
In ECC 6.0, New GL functionality, is transaction KALC, where the reconciliation postings happen between CO-FI eliminated? So the allocations for that matter would not be a Month end activity? All types of allocations and therefore their reconciliations will happen real-time?
Please help me with these questions.
Thanks,
Nysa
Cross-post

Hi
Reco ledger is no longer required if you implement New GL.. As with New GL it happens on real time basis
Allocations are still a month end activity.. But, unlike before, when you do allocations now in CO, it triggers a posting in FI as well due to which FI and CO are reconciled real time.... The reco variant you can set up to trigger postings in FI whenever a cross Bus area or cross PC allocation happens in CO... System would immediately trigger a posting in FI as well whenever cross allocation happens
Hope it helps

ECCS - consolidation Monitor - Elimination Rev/Exp error

Dear ECCS experts,
When I am runing interunit elimination for revenue/expenses(CX20), I am getting error for cost item being not reflected. e.g
I posted entry as follows
Cost A/c -Dr 1000 (Company ocde 2000)
to Revenue A/c - Cr1000 (C.cd 6000)
When I run interunit elimination for revenue/expenses only Revenue effect is coming and cost a/c effect is missing.
Can anyone tell me what assignment I am missing for this error? or How to resolve this error?
Regards
Sanjay D

For us to better help, please give specific details of the error that arises upon the execution of the interunit elimination task.
Based on the other information provided it appears that the cost item is not included in the elimination method assigned to the task and it is therefore not eliminated. Please provide details of the method for us to help resolve this. Or, it could be that there is no trading partner for the cost posting, or that the trading partner is not included in the cons group for which the elimination is executed.

Unable to update Partner Unit in Eccs with Trading Partner from FI

Hi,
I had removed the Breakdown category from the FS item Master (CX14) for a reco Acct by mistake .Now when i update the master table in CX14 with the same Break down Category(0110 - Partner Unit (break down Type-4) + Translation Currency (break down type -2)) the sytem than gives a pop up window showing the "Report for Transaction Check" where it asks for the Default Value of Partner Unit to be entered.Once i maintain the default value of partner unit all the document for the reco account gets updated with default Partner unit.However in FI module each of the documents posted for this account have diffrent Trading Partner due to which im unable to do the Interunit Elimination.
Kindly let me know how do i update Partner unit in all the documents in Consolidation with the trading Partner from FI module.
thanks
Karan

Once i maintain the default value of partner unit all the document for the reco account gets updated
this system behavior makes sense as you are trying to change configuration after loading transaction data. what happens if you go back to the underlying accounts and change TP back to what FI is showing? if u have to deal with a lot of documents u may want to set up a BDC session to do the mass update.

IU Elimination Difference Subassignments (Business Area and Profit Center)

Hi experts, it's my second tread in the forum and is in one day, I'm expired.
 
 
Let's clarify the situation.
 
 
At the past I'm using the parameters settings of IU Eliminination Difference Subassigments with fixed values, now, with our necessity, we question SAP how to do a interunit elimination receiving the business area and Cons. Profit. Center from the trigger at the differences, and it apparently was simple solve, we just need to mark the "default value" flag and voila, system will do what we need, but is not so simple how we think.
 
 
In productive environment, we have data since June/2009, and we want to change this from Jan/2010, but elimination is cumulated, and I suspect SEM-BCS is trying to correct the past.
 
 
Does anybody pass this situation ?
 
 
What we need is on every elimination on selection items and the difference items receive the business area and cons. profit center from the trigger (this have to remain with the origins), and the total value of elimination on period don't have to change, do you understand ?
 
 
When change the configuration of the task and execute that, the eliminaton value change too ? We suspect it is
because we have data before this period.
 
 
If you need more explanation, please advice me, I will give more details.
 
 
Here we are in SEM-BCS 600 EHP 2
 
 
Best Regards
 
Alexandre Mendoza Collepicolo

The breakdown category and the corresponding data is the same in the source system. I think I did`t express very well.
I will put my understand about the default flag of the difference screen: This is used to try to get the subassignments from the items which we select on the preview screen not the fixed parameters. i.e.: Business Area.
On January, we decided to get the subassignments on difference from the items on selection screen, for this we flag the default value, and re-execute the elimination on the monitor, but, when we execute this, the value is entirely wrong/different from the other, we suppose when we flag that and re-execute the elimination we get more line of elimination on total records with the business area, but that's not what happened, we have strange value with a total of elimination very different.
Is it clear the operation ?
I contact SAP and they are analyzing the case, but if anyone had a similar problem please advice me.

SEM-BCS: Cons Group Field Required for Inter-Unit Elimination

Hi!
I need help.
I need to use document type for manual postings that allows me to indicate the cons group field.
I understand the PL10 is cons unit dependent only and not cons group.
I know that PL12 allows cons group posting.
But from what I understand PL12 is not captured in the inter-unit elimation task.
Is there other way?
Appreciate response.

Hi Adam and Eugene,
Thanks for the helpful response.
However I want my manual entries related to inter-unit elimination to reflect in one cons group only, considering that we have different hierarchies in our system.
The manual entries related to I/U elimation is basically an adjustment to the intercompany accounts. The purpose of my manual entries is to minimize the value of the difference of my intercompany accounts.
for example: (before interunit elimination)
Company A has intercompany accounts receivable of 100 USD with trading partner Company B
However, Company B recorded 50 USD intercompany payable with trading partner Company A. Company B has understated figure of 50 USd
To manually adjust in the BCS system, I'll post in Company B debit inventory and credit intercompany payable 50 with trading partner Company A.
Question is I want my adjusting entries to relfect only at the top hierarchy (one cons group) and not at the other cons group
Is there a way?
Please advice.
Thank you so much

SEM-BCS One vs Two Sided Eliminations

Hi,
What are the significant differences between One and two sided elimination?
When do we use one sided and when to use two sided?
Thanks is advance.

Hi,
Interunit eliminations happen between pairs of cons units.
Two-sided elimination might be used when both cons units have information regarding operations between them.
Example: A/P & A/R in balance sheet:
The company X has A/R in amount ZZZ with regard to Y company-partner.
The company Y has A/P in amount ZZZ with regard to X company-partner.
All these entries mean that Company Y owe Company X $ZZZ amount.
Using this two-directed information the system may exclude these liabilities.
Certainly, not always amount of debt is shown equally by both companies. In this case we select the strategy of writing off the difference.
One-sided elimination might be used when only one cons units have information regarding operations with another unit.
The typical example: elimination of interunit revenue and expense in P&L:
The company X sold iron ore (its finished product) to Y company-partner. Usually, the P&L revenue accounts have subassignment by the company-partner.
The company Y wrote off the bought ore to its production in progress. Usually, expense items of P&L don't have subassignment by the company-partner.
The system encountering an amount on the P&L revenue item, looks for unit-partner and deducts the amount from the revenue of company X and expenses of unit-partner, regardless of the fact that unit-partner doesn't show in P&L any such operations between companies.
So, if you have enough information from both ends of pairs of cons units - use two-sided elimination. Otherwise, you simply have to aplly one-sided elimination.
Hope this helps.

Partial Eliminations

Hello guys,
I want to apply eliminations postings based on a percentage, is "Consolidation of investment" the only option to do so ? Is there a way of doing it using simple interunit eliminations ?
If yes, where (in customizing) should I enter the rate?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Pascal.

Hi Pascal,
Actually, it's not a standard functionality.
But I used to implement very simplified version of consolidation of investments.
You proper noticed that for elimination of investment and equity in the simpliest cases (no goodwill, no complex movements in Groups) is enough one-sided elimination. All amount on equity accounts were placed on a separate contra-account in capital.
Then a special reclass extracted minority interest from this contra-account.
Percentage was assigned to a new ANI account. Actually it's a real ANI like the sum of all P&L accounts but outside the P&L hierarchy.
