How to handle exchange of Shares in Legal Consolidations

Forum,
I'm looking for a solution to capture the exchange of shares between entities for a third entity.
So the question is, what is the recommended approach to handle these transactions in a legal consolidation application?
For example:
Entity A acquired shares (value of $100K) of Entity C from Entity B
Entity B disposed of shares (value of $100K) of Entity C to Entity A
These transactions need to be eliminated and will affect multiple accounts (ie. acq of disposals, gain/loss, proceeds from sale of shares, etc...)
This leads us to the question of how do you see that the shares amount was related to Entity C without a shares dimension? Or alternatively is this handled using the PShares account in the OwnAccount dim?

Hi Michael,
While getting the Trail Balance from your source system the transactions relating to interccompany shares dealing already been recorded.
Now in legal consolidation you have to eliminate these posting for this you can use normal Interunit elimination rules to eliminate the balances.
This should be executed before executing final consolidation eliminations ie Investment and share capital eliminations.

Currency and Groups Dimensions in Legal Consolidation, BPC 7.5

Dear BPC Experts:
          I am using BPC 7.5 NW SP03, and building Legal Consolidation now. According to the SAP Library,http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/bpc_nw_index.htm, it says in 7.5, the currency and groups dimension are required and should hold currency members and consolidation members seperately. I have couple of questions about this design.
1. Are GROUPS and CURRENCY dimensions both included in Legal Consolidation Application at the same time?
2. How to move data in currency diemnsion into corresponding members in GROUPS dimension?
    For example: THe GROUPS member, CG1(its currency is USD). How to let data in currency USD move to CG1.
3. In Legal Consolidation data package, should I modify the prompt dimension from CURRENCY_DIM into GROUP_Dim?? cause 7.5 has CURRENCY dim in its package setting at default. However, the consolidation package is based on GROUP perspectives.
    Does anyone give me any idea in it? I really appreciate your help.
Best Regards,
Fred Cheng

Hi Collet,
Thanks for such a quick response. Based on your answer,
The group-type dimension is used for storing the group component of legal consolidation. The group-type dimension represents the relationship of entities for a given consolidation result. This group is consolidated in a single currency, so there is no need to have another dimension. As of Planning and Consolidation 7.5, you can continue to use the currency-type dimension for this purpose, or you can split it into a group-type dimension (type G) and use a pure currency-type dimension (type R) to allow reporting in multiple group currencies.
If at all I go by that will that be sufficient to have only Group Dimension and ignore RptCurrency field in BPC 7.5?
As of now I am having my Group Dimension looks like this.
Member ID          EVDESCRIPTION        GROUP_CURRENCY        PARENT_GROUP      ENTITY
G_CG1                XXXX                          USD                                                                 E_CG1
G_CG2                XXX                            USD                                   G_CG1                   E_CG2
G_CG3                XXXX                          USD                                   G_CG2                   E_CG3
So now do I need to enter any RptCurrency Members under Group Member ID column to have RptCurrency ignored once for all. By the way our RptCurrency and Group Currency is USD only.
Please advise as right now we are not able to have Currency Conversion Functioning properly. I mean when I executed FXTRANSLGF, I am able to my DM status as Successful but saying 0 Submitted   0 Success   0 Fail
I am unable to crack this. I tired playing Groups and RptCurrency but same result. Successful but no records. We have maintained all Exchange Rates corrctly.

Consolidation Application

Hi ,
When we create a legal consolidation application in BPC, will this create a real time infocube or standard infocube in BW?
When we'll use a standard info cube?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sapki,
When an application is created in BPC it creates a real time infocube in the BI server with a different name space.
Standard cubes are not used in BPC. However, if you want to load data through regular ETL process, you can change the behaviour of the real time cube.
thanks

Problem with Legal Consolidation for Journal

Hi BPC Friends
I have the application icmatching with data and I have written other values with Journal.
I have run the package legal consolidation.
I have this problem:
for the value that I have loaded into the application, the logic consolidation works correctly, indeed it writes a new record with different datasource
but for the value that I have written into the application using the Journal the logic doesn't work correctly, indeed it writes into the database a new record like the original but with contrary value so I lose also the value that I wrote with the journal
Could you please help me?
thanks
regards
Michele Medaglia

Hello Michele,
Basically what ever data that you input in journal as long as the selection on xdim is fulfilled the script will run normally.
If its write in reverse and deleted your original data, it must be something wrong in your script, you can check at first.
If the problem still you can't found, can you share us a little about the script?
hope helps

Legal Consolidation VS Management Consolidation

Hi Gurus,
In the reporting application types
" Financial type allows to perform Management consolidation function and in Consolidation type allows to perform Legal consolidation function. "
What is the difference between Management consolidation and legal consolidation ?
I am bit confused can some one explain me what exactly it mean with an example??

Hi,
For the consolidation purpose,the data record contains at least the following fields:
company
company-partner
Profit Centre
Profit Centre-partner.
For legal consolidation, only company-related data matters. Because Profit centre data will be taken from the other source.For management consolidation, only Profit centre-related data matters.
There will be 2 initial data sets, should be created as Consolidation Areas to meet the business requirements , for example ASML -Legal Consolidation,ASMM-Management Consolidation.This is as according to the best in practice approach to have different sets of data for legal and management reporting. Management is focused on per segment, per product reporting and statutory focused on the legal entity view.
Each consolidation area will only hold the relevant consolidation unit. That is, the statutory consolidation area will only hold company codes and will not post/process to profit centres at all. The management view will hold Company codes/profit centres (sub assignment object) and the users will post only to the relevant company codes/profit centres

IC elimination for legal consolidation

I am wokring on legal consolidation and am working on legalapp application.
I notice that the input schedule template for IC elimination refers to dimension members of application finance. Similarly the Logic file (ICElim.lgx in the server refers to dimension and members of finance application.
Are we expected to adapt tthe templates and logic files or are we supposed to perform IC elimination in Finance application and then transfer values to Legalapp application.
How to trigger conolidation process and calculation of minority interest.
Regards
Srikaran

You don't have to copy data from finance to legalapp for the intercompany eliminations.
You enter Intercompany data directly in the legalapp application for the intersections of IC accounts and intco counterparts.
Matching is normally done by creating logic that posts the entered ic data directly to the counterpart entity. From this you can create matching reports.
IC elimination and EQ elimination are being generated by the combination of the stored procedures 'sprunconversion' and 'sprunconso'. The legalapp application has examples for both of them.
I have never adopted the templates provided by apshell.
Hope this helps,
Alwin

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

BPC 7.5 NW - Legal Consolidation

Hi
I have a question regarding the consolidation procedure in BPC. We have both Groups and RptCurrency Dimension in the Consolidation Application. Following are the steps we are doing for Consolidation:
1. Load Data
2. Currency Conversion (to NON_GROUP)
3. Check Trail Balance, Balance Sheet & Income Statement (In NON_GROUP but reporting currency)
4. Check Intercompany Data (InterCompnay Matching & Difference Posting using ICDATA & ICBOOKING) in Same Consolidation Application (In NON_GROUP but reporting currency)
5. Run Consolidation (Includes Transfer data for entities to respective Groups, Intercompany elimination and COI Adjustments & Eliminations)
Now my question is that If I have all adjustments for Steps 3 & 4 to match Balance Sheet, Match Intercompany data etc. in NON_Group but in Reporting Currency. How to transfer the same to respective Groups form NON_Group? Just before Running Consolidation. I don't wish to do currency conversion again as it has already been performed in step 2.
Regards
Jigar
Edited by: jigarv on Feb 1, 2012 4:53 AM

Jigar,
Have u solve this? I'm facing a similar issue, trying to do currency conversion to Group currency.... when i execute the package for conversion, a message "NON_GROUP doesn't exist"... can u help?
Thx

BPC Consolidation application - YTD or periodic

Hi,
YTD or Periodic - For legal consolidation (IFRS, USGAAP), what would be the best option for a customer with ECC, BW and BPC landscape. Are there any major issues in mapping specific consolidation process in YTD application (like reconciliation with ECC data ect).

Hello Lokesh,
The IFRS focuses mainly on the reporting aspects of financial results of an enterprise. Consolidated or not, for all listed companies, these requirements impose strict norms that need to be adhered to for reporting the financial results. Therefore, if an enterprise has many subsidiaries and the numbers are reported for the group as per the IFRS norms, it still presupposes that ALL the norms have been adhered to.
In respect of Business Objects Planning and Consolidation, SAP has come up with a Starter Kit for IFRS adoption. It is pre-configured with all reports, controls and rules for performing, validating and publishing a statutory consolidation in accordance with IFRS standards. An enterprise may have the desired setting for its Consolidation Definition. One of the settings is choosing a pre-defined variant that allows it to have either Periodic or YTD setting to be selected for a given category, data period and currency. For more information, follow this link:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/bofc10/en/FC10_SK_IFRS_ConfDesc_en.pdf
In my view, for legal consolidation, the consolidated financial information is valid only if it is YTD. The periodic values are needed only for calculating the movements - for Statement of Cash Flows. This aspect is well taken care of in the Consolidation Processing u2013 either Full Processing or Incremental processing.
If you want to reconcile the balances as per ECC, BI as well as BPC, you have to consider only the YTD values.
Hope this gives adequate information for clarifying your doubt.

Error on legal consolidation

Hi,
we are using BPC 7.5 and we are trying to run a legal consolidation (SPRUNCONSO). The error we get is
CSD-120: No Entity - Method available
I have searched the forum for this error and found references to the ownership application. We do have one, it has data for the companies and period (plus previous year end) in question. I have checked the consolidation method used against those set-up (standard from Appshell, i.e. 90 and 86) and the rules we have created and it all matches and looks valid.
Our accounts in ownership are
PCON
POWN
PGROUP
METHOD
PMIN
Most of the dimensions used in the ownership cube (category, currency, entity, intco and time) are shared with the consol app, only the account dimension is specific to the ownership cube.
Does anyone have any idea what else I can check?
Thanks,
Arnold

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

Legal Consolidation: Entity structure question

Hi Experts,
Just want to ask if technical Entities are required in order for Legal Consolidation to work in SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP6? I'm using both R-Type (Currencies) and G-Type dimension (Conso Groups). In my first structure, I only have the following set up in my Entity and Groups dimension:
Entity Dimension:

In this set up, my Consolidation results in error "RUN_LOGIC:Accounts and entities do not match data in application OWNERSHIP". But if I change my set up to the following(with technical Entities), I don't get the error:

Am I just missing some properties or set up in my first that's why I'm getting the error or do I really need to create technical Entities for consolidation to work??
Thanks,
Marvin

Hi nilanjan,
I was pertaining to the Entities with ID that starts with "E". Anyway, I tried removing the values "Y" for property "ELIM" in the Entity dimension and removed the values for "ENTITY" and STORE_ENTITY in the Groups dimension and I don't encounter the error and consolidation calculates okay.
Thanks,
Marvin

Built-in templates for Legal Consolidation in SAP BPC

Hi guys
I am doing a demo for legal consolidation and was wondering if there are built-in input scehdules (templates) in SAP BPC to assign the consolidation methods to entities (to let the system know how an entity needs to be rolled up in a group)?
Also are there any input schedules (templates) to enter the Ownership % and Control % for various subsidiaries under a parent?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

I don't think any of the default applications come with pre-built input templates. The legal applications does come with a number of pre-configured business rules, but as far as pre-built input templates go none are available. That being said, it is pretty easy to build a simple input template using the dynamic templates that come with BPC. Starting with one of these you should be able to configure one of them for your demo without much trouble. Let me know if you need help with that.

Legal Consolidation package is automatically getting CANCELLED

Hi Experts,
I am trying to run the Legal Consolidation dtsx package which triggers the Consolidation.LGF script logic, but i am getting a strange cancellation message. It is automatically getting cancelled and when i look onto the log it shows Package - Running.
Does anyone have a clue on this ?
regards,
Samveer

Hi Fred,
You will need to provide screenshots of your parameter setting or type it out in the message for legal app and ownership applications. If not set properly, the message status you experienced is a typical norm.
The next step you need to check is the ownership application to ensure that you have the appropriate ownership structure setup for the period.
If you believe that you have set up everything appropriately, then scale back your ownership structure to a minimum to make sure that you can run the Consolidations package/process chain (automatic adjustments) to get the desired result. From there, you can build up your structure and test them to ensure expected results.
Are you on SP2 or SP3?
