Merger of two Consolidation Unit

Hi,
I am working on a project where I need to Merge Two Consolidation Unit of the same Consolidation Group.
For Example, Consolidation Group A1 & A2 is under Consolidation Group ABC. Now we need to Merge Cons. Unit A1 into Cons. Unit A2 under the same Cons. Group ABC. How to handle this in SEM - BCS?
I cannot use Consolidation Group Changes as this is not transferring but it is merging of two Cons. Unit.
Your input is highly apprecialbe.

Hi HI COLLET Thibaud ,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for my late reply. I was gathering information that you asked from the client. Now picture is more clear.
Ex.
Consoildation Unit: A & Consoildation Unit: B. Both are under Consolidation Group AB
Parent Unit : C
Now Consoildation Unit: A is getting transferred to Consoildation Unit: B. Business wants to transfer Balance Sheet as on Date. There is no Goodwill. Everything is getting transferred at Book Value.
Now for Share Capital purchase, there are two options suggested. One is to buy share of Consoildation Unit: A by Cash and second is to buy share of Consoildation Unit: A by issuing Shares of Consoildation Unit: B.
If we go for option 1 of purchasing through Cash, then there will be impact only on Cash Outflow from Consoildation Unit: B and Share Capital Reduction from Consoildation Unit: A. This will happen becasue Consoildation Unit: B will pay Cash to Consoildation Unit: A and Consoildation Unit: A in turn will pay for Share Capital and reduce its Share Capital. But if we go for option 2 of issuing shares of Consoildation Unit: B, then there will be change in the Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: B and reduction in the Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: A. In any case, there will be reduction in Share Capital of Consoildation Unit: A.
So what do you suggest in this scenario? What will be the BCS impact if we go for option1 or option2. Just to remind, we are transferring everything including Share Capital in FI. But I am wondering the steps and impact on BCS...
Your input is highly appreciable and definately will be rewarded with points !!!
Thanks..

    Dear greg misiorek,
                                 As far as I know the consolidation group change task is applicable only if the consolidation unit is
    transfered from one group to other, but In  case of merger of consolidation units within the same group will it this be valid.
    For instance I have a group A under which I have three companies A1, A2, A3.
    but now I have to merge A2  in A1.
    The new structure of  group A  will be companies A1 and A3 only,
    Kind Suggest.

  • SEM-BCS how to make Consolidation Unit with Business Area

    Hi all,
    I am newbie in SEM-BCS and implementing BW-based BCS. Our situation is as follows.
    Situation
    - we have 7 companies worldwide and 4 different Business areas.
       Every company consists of at least two business areas in R/3.
    - we have sales transaction in FI among companies.
    requirement
    - we need consolidated F/S in whole consolidation group and consolidated F/S in Business area level.
    actually, we are planning to make the consolidation unit in company level.
    Do we have to break down consolidation unit in business area? or just breakdown category solves our requirement?
    If we have sales transaction even between business areas within certain company, do we have to make it in business area?

    Following are the answer to your questions…
    Q:   What to do for using this cube in BCS?
    A:    Add the business area to the cube. Generate the data basis and the business area gets added to all ODS/DSO , virtual cube.
    Suggestion: To avoid deleting the Profit center cube, since you can reduce the complication.
    Q:   Is it the problem about DATA BASIS Role?
    A:   No. Assign the role of subassignment or consolidation unit as needed. If you are giving the role of consolidation unit to business area, you need to insert the char Partner business area also in the cube.
    Q:   Is there some materials to solve this situation?
    A:   Refer the matrix consolidation material in help.sap.com from BCS portion.  As per SAP literature any relevant object can be made as second consolidation unit such as business area, functional area etc. Don’t fear. Once you start it the issue will be resolved in few days.
    Expected complication:
    If you are going to make business area as subassignment then it is simple. But if you are making business area as Consolidation unit, go for partner business area in cube.
    Ensure with your BI consultant that all BCS messages are addressed in BI infoobject for business area specifically.
    Things can get complicated only if we allow for it get complicated. But you are doing great.. Keep  posted.. Good luck.!!!..

  • Consolidation Unit in the wrong position in Accounting Techniques tree

    Hi all,
    I'm facing a problem with a consolidation unit (A) in the Accounting Techniques tree (T1).
    The issue is resolved when I delete the unit A from the consolidation group tree (T2) but, when I add the unit A to the consolidation group tree (T2) again, the unit appears in two places, and that is not correct.
    I've tried to delete and move the unit through the Accounting techniques tree (T1), but the problem continues.
    Can you help me??
    Thanks in advance.
    Inge Eichhorns

    In some cases it is standard for a cons unit to be included in the Acctg Techniques assignment multiple times. Because the assignments may different at various levels in the hierarchy, especially when not inherited downward.
    One way to check this or change this is to check the assignments via the cons group view by clicking on the cons group and selecting View > Cons Group.

  • Consolidation Unit Hierachy deletion

    The consolidation unit is time dependant, but has many duplicate hierarchies created unwantedly over a period of time. Hence this creates confusion in parameter selection in reports.
    Can the unwanted hierarchies be deleted in development and transported across? Will the deletion of whole hierarchy get sucessfully transported?
    Alternatively rather than deleting the hierarchy , can the hierarchy be put in invisible mode  which will not trouble the users, which selection.

    Can the unwanted hierarchies be deleted in development and transported across? Will the deletion of whole hierarchy get sucessfully transported?
    - Yes, to both Qs, AFAIK. But, remembering that SAP SEM-BCS has two layers: BCS itself and underlying BW, such excersize is the SAP acrobatics. Without experience it might be very dangerous in sense of damaging data.
    Alternatively rather than deleting the hierarchy , can the hierarchy be put in invisible mode  which will not trouble the users, which selection.
    - No, no invisible mode (in full). One may try achivieng it by different visibility in BCS and BW, but it also requires experience and risky in sense of bringing inconsistency between BCS and BW.

  • Reparenting - of equity consolidated units upward in hierarchy

    Hi experts,
    We're doing reparenting of a cons unit (upward in a hierarchy) : The scenario is explained as under:
    There are two hierarchies in a single version. The consolidation units falling under both hierarchies are same. Difference being - H1 is a flat hierarchy with parent A and all other as subsidiaries (100% owned and purchase method consolidated)
    H2: Has multiple levels (conso groups) with overall parent A. All other companies are equity consolidated (ofcourse parents in each group is assigned purchase method, ownership is again 100% of all units)
    In H2: we're doing a reparenting. From a lower conso group(cons group CGB with parent B) a unit(unit C) is moving to the top conso group(cons group CGA with parent A). The master data changes in both conso groups have been made(period/yr of divestiture and period/yr of acquisition set in the sender group and receiver group respectively; added the cons unit C in CGA group).
    The organizational change logic is being used.
    After the conso group change task and COI task are run, in the report there is a difference in the equity PY surplus at level A - overall parent) in both hierarchies.
    There are two equity pickups - A/c1 and A/c2
    The opening balances on these accounts are getting reversed in the divestiture period in old parent.
    Whereas the PY - RE(Previous year - Retained earnings) account is not getting reversed (in itself) but the balance is being posted to COI:Clearing item (COI clearing item defined in COI settings->Appropriation of retained earnings -> Net income tab)
    1. The client doesnt want PY equity surplus to change. In H1 , it is not changing (not reversing) whereas, in H2 it is reversing in the same accounts - balancing to zero.
    2. They'd ideally want the PY surplus to goto the COI clearing.
    They'd like the system to do this entry and not fix this by doing a manual PL30 journal.
    Can you tell me if there is anything in the configuration of COI that can fix this issue?
    Why is the system behaving differently for A/c1 (and A/c2)and PY - RE account?
    Another thing, when I look at the COI documents posted in the H2 hierarchy, I see the A/c1 and A/c2 (scopes of data for equity method) as double the amount in the new cons group (equity holdings data) whereas in the H1 (where only a total transfer doc is posted) I see the accounts (as part of equity data) with the actual value.
    Thanks, AJ

    Thanks Dan.
    Appreciate if you can help on the below points as well.
    1. As part of divestiture/transfer postings: The system is reversing some Previous Year(PY) equity accounts into themselves. How can we get the system to eliminate them by posting to COI Clearing account. Basically, we dont want the PY accounts to be touched?
    For the Retained earnings - PY account, the system is actually posting to COI clearing account.
    These PY accounts are part of some scopes for equitization.
    Is there any link between the "balance carry forward" - list of items table and the divestiture postings?
    Does the system check this table while posting/reversing the equity(PY) accounts?
    2. I want to understand the sequence in which the system posts the documents at the old parent and new parent (group) level.
    The same activity number is there  for Total Divestiture, total transfer documents posted at new parent level and total divestiture document posted at old parent level.
    Does the system follow bottom up approach? Thereby creating total divestiture document at old parent level.
    Followed by documents at upper level (new parent level)
    Also , at the upper level(new parent level), does it post documents in the way they are shown in the log? (We havent changed the default sequence maintained in UCWB - COI settings). so it will post first consolidation doc, followed by total divestiture, followed by total transfer docs at the new parent level?
    Is this the reason for the double value being posted at new parent for equity holding data?
    Will studying the statistical items (corresponding to eliminated equity holding items) be relevant here to understand why at upper level there is double the value being posted by system?
    Thanks.

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • Somehow I have two apple accounts. Can I merge the two?

    I am not sure why but I have two apple accounts with two different email addresses.  This is causing problems with iMessages not syncing over my devices because the different email addresses cause messages to be sent to different devices so I miss messages.  Can I merge the two apple accounts, if so.  How?

    Please see item no. 5 of this article:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • How can I merge my two Apple ID's?

    I recently activated an iCloud account after upgrading to an iphone5.  ICloud requires an Apple ID in the form of an email address.  My Apple ID was not an email address.  Let's say it was "JohnDoe".  So I logged onto my "JohnDoe" Apple account and tried to change the ID to my one and only email address, "[email protected]".  Well it seems that a number of years back I had already set up an Apple ID with that email address.  No problem, I used the "[email protected]" apple ID  to set up my iCloud account.  Here's the problem.  I had tons of songs, books, apps, etc. saved in a  wish list on my old "JohnDoe" apple ID.  I have a credit on it from itunes gift cards.  Plus, a few of my apple products are registered to that ID.  (My iphone5 is now registered to the "[email protected]" Apple ID.)  I want to have one Apple ID ([email protected]) with my wish list, all my products and everything linked to it.  Can I merge the two? 
    Thanks

    Given the way Apple insists on working with setting up new devices (i.e. the set-up processes have been encouraging duplicated Apple IDs) it is entirely reasonable to request the ability to merge Apple IDs for those of us who have supported the company for years and have bought a lot of devices, accessories, software, music, books etc from Apple Inc
    When do you think this reasonable request will be fulfilled?
    We are just fellow users here and as such have no idea if, much less when, Apple will ever allow merging of Apple IDs. You can comment to Apple on the issue via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    but I'm quite sure Apple is aware of the interest in such a feature.

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

    I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address.  Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
    I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
    I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
    For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
    I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
    Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
    Thanks.

    I will do it for you.   I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously.   My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
    I hope this will help.
