Moving consolidation unit mid year

Hi,
we need to move 2 consolidation units from 2 different consolidation groups into a new existing consolidation group in June, rather then at year end. We did some testing on this, but it seems that the historical information of those 2 consolidation units is not transferred into the new consol group in July. Is that to be expected? If not, what is the best way to get the historical data into the new consol group? The managers of the old consol units still need to show the historical data as well. Your help is very much appreciated : )

The cons unit/group hierarchy is time-dependent. The best way to accomplish this is to execute the cons group changes tasks, which transfers the balance sheet balances "out" of the old cons group and the standard consolidation logic of the virtual infocube function module will automatically include the balances in the new cons group from the period of the change and thereafter.
Another possibility, is if you are not using any posting level 30 documents types, you can possibly make the change retroactive to the beginning of the year by changing parameters to period 001 for the hierarchy change. In this case, the reporting logic will automatically include the balances in the new cons group and not the old cons group for the entire year.
It is also important to not "drag-and-drop" for such changes, and to include the cons unit in both new and old cons groups with a period of divestiture in the master data of the old cons group and period of first consolidation of the new cons group.

"No Fiscal Year Variant assinged to consolidation unit" error for 3EC_CS_1A

Hi,
I'm getting following extraction error using RSA3 for datasource 3EC_CS_1A in R3 (4.7) system. Could someone shed some ideas on how to fix it.
No fiscal year variant assigned to consolidation unit 0000000000000000XX.
same error is coming for all consolidation units.
I checked ECMCT table and it has records in it.
I went to "Consolidation unit change" using CX1N and found out that above consolidation unit has our customer defined "standard fiscal year variant assigned" for the corresponding ledger listed in ECMCT.
What else might be missing & how to fix it. same error in both DEV & QAS. Appreciate any inputs

thanks for your post.
I checked T009 and see that fiscal year variants are maintained. K4 as well as "customer defined standard fiscal year variant". what else might be missing.

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.

Consolidation Unit: consolidate only until period 09 (divestment).

I have another problem related to consolidation:
I have a consolidation group with several consolidation units assigned to. For one assigned consolidation unit, I want to consolidate only up to period 09. So, I have edited the year and period of divestment (2008/09). I was hopping that, that consolidation unit wasn't proposed in the consolidation monitor for interunit elimination (for period 10).
Does anybody know what else do I have to do for this purpose?
Thanks,
Paula

This sounds like a minor bug. I suggest you search SAP Notes for solution and if none is found notify SAP via customer message.

Consolidation Unit change from Group A to group B

When I drag consolidation unit from group A to Group in CX1X and then I run CXCd and error message popped stated below;
Entry cannot be posted :B/s and I/S balance of 1.7million.
I think it might be due to moving from one group to another group. please advise and it is very very urgent. What is the solution to this problem.? It is giving the same error when i try to drag back to the same group.
Thank you
Selvam

Hi,
Is it a Production system? In Consolidation if a Consolidation Unit is moved from one group to another it will have serious repurcursions. In one of the projects in test system we had this problem. SAP OSS Notes also suggest that Consolidation Unit - if transaction data is already posted - it should not be moved. Especially if Consolidation of Investments is configured it is going to be a problem.
Thanks

Consolidation unit's divestiture

Hi all,
We are implementing SEM-BCS 6.0 and we have a question.
In 011.2008 we defined in the Consolidation Group that a consolidation unit had Divestiture Accounting at Beginning of Period.
But in 012.2008 when we execute the upload of data from BW it uploads data to the total of records although the consolidation unit was already divested in the prior period.
Should we delete this consolidation unit from the hierarchy?
Because we read in this forum, that after a divestiture the consolidation unit should only be deleted from the hierarchy in the next year.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your answer.
Youu2019re saying that although the data is loaded is ignored in the reporting.
But if data is loaded isnu2019t it considered in the consolidation methods? As in the method for IU IU Elimination and Reconciliation or Consolidation of Investments?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Consolidation Unit Time Dependent

Hi Experts,
We are in Issue for the consolidation unit.
My client requested not to extract some consolidation unit transaction data from R/3.
He may use, the companies latter on (may be next year) in consolidation process.
For this I changed my permanent parameter for period and changed in LDS --> Selection Tab page I select exclude companies (which client not requires data from R/3). After saving it effect from previous period instead of, from current period.
How I can over come from this, I did any wrong, if so where i have to maintain these setting.
Thanks
Madhu

Hi Dan Sullivan and Eugene Khusainov,
We are using Consolidation system from 2006 onwards with 55 cons unit. Data for 55 cons unit getting from R/3
We configured one Load from DS, method and task for all Cons units.
Now my client requires, out of 55 cons units some Cons units they don't want data from R/3 for cetain period. But those will be appear in Consolidation Unit hierarchy.
Can I restrict cons unit in Load from DS in selection tab page.
My Questions are:
1. If I restrict cons unit in selection, it will effect from current period or from previous period which we already executed .
2. If I am wrong let me know the correct procedure for restriction of data extraction from R/3 for certain Cons Units which client not requires.
Thanks
Madhu

Total transfer of equity consolidated unit using organizational change

Hi,
We have a scenario where we are doing total transfer of an equity consolidated unit (100% owned) from one company(old parent) to another (new parent)
The new parent is one level above the old parent in the hierarchy.
We've used organizational change logic and have set the divestiture dates/flag in the sender consolidation group and accordingly first consolidation dates/flag/OC number in the receiver consolidation group.
The investment AFD is submitted with "total transfer" with OC number.
There are multiple scopes of reported data for equity method in our configuration.
Each scope(equity pickup) is inturn created by reclassifying several equity accounts to a single BCS only item(the scope item)
When we run COI, the system posts one total divestiture document at the old conso group (where old parent is situtated) and posts a first consolidation, total divestiture, total transfer documents at the new conso group level (which is one level above the sender conso group)
The total divestiture document at upper level is reversing the divestiture document posted at old parent.
The first consolidation document jas only statistical items posted in it.
The real document to check is the "Totals transfer document" which actually reads the investment (at old parent and new parent) , the equity holdings adjustment data(the scope items) and adjusts the investment in subs at new parent with offset going to divestiture account but of double the value than the expected scope vlaue.
Issues faced:
Q1. Consolidation group change tasks (at PL02, 12, 22) are not posting any documents. Is there an issue? Since I am using these tasks for the first time and dont know if this is possible.
Q2. The total transfer document is reading the equity holdings data as double the expected value( for each of the scopes of equity method). What could be the possible reason? How to fix this?
Q3. I would appreciate if someone can clarify what kind of postings the system makes as part of divestiture/transfer in case of equity consolidated unit transfer.
Please help!
Thanks,
AJ

Hi Veer,
Check whether you maintained "Monthly Hours" in Infotype 0008-Basic Pay.
if it is not maintained, maintained and try.
Still if it is not performing properly, there is a problem with Payroll constants.

Income tax Changes for Mid year Golive

Gurus
For Income Tax reconciliation with legacy i have used PCR INVT and changed to ZNVT.
It is working perfectly in two scenarios
1. Adding a Amount(MVT0) to existing Tax Amount in /460
2. Repaacing existing tax amount of /460 through (MVT1)
But our Client want to nullify the tax (i.e what ever the tax amount appearing in SAP without changing any Income, Gross, taxable income) they want to nullyfy the /460.
Kindly let me know how to manage this scenario on Case to case basis. (When i try to replace amount through WT 8VT1-Copy of MVT1 in It0015 , WT is not accepting 0 As value)

Are you trying to run payroll from april and match it in the system? in that case if employee has no tax deducted in the legacy system it would be highly difficult to match. It will be easier to go with mid-year go-live schema INLK.
Consequently you can update the wagetype with a value lesser than Rs 1.

Problem with arrears in case of Mid year go live

Hi All,
I have a problem in case of arrears for Mid year go live
1. We have uploaded the data through t558b and t558c success fully and executed Midyear golive from April 2009 to December 2009.
2. In the month of January we have executed regular payroll through IN00 schema sucessfully so every thing went on smooth but the problem is with arrears like my employer wants to give Arrears with effect from October 2009 we have changed the basic pay amount and executed the payroll but the difference of amt is not showing i am getting wrong values
Let me know what and all should i configure.....
Regards,
Prasad

We have uploaded Earnings wage types(IT0008, 15) and Tax wage types
while Uploading the wage types which is regular and irregular you have upload the arrear also right
say
A an employee is getting 10000 Salary so he joined on 01.04.2009 so his Gross income yearly is 10000*12 that is 1 20 000
where as in June he has got promorion for 2000 rs and that been paid in October so, from June is Gross income will be 12000 means 1,22.000 as his arrear is getting added so the same thing shd get added up to October right
other wise the form 16 is displays the income without Arrears right please try to upload the arrear wage type and than check
please let me know in case of any issue

Upload of GL balances in mid year go live

Hi gurus,
appreciate if you can please tell me things to keep in mind and steps to upload balance sheet and p&l accounts in mid year go live in May and also client wants to see p&l from January in sap?????????
waiting for your reply.
THanks

I am making an assumption that the fiscal year is a calendar based year for my answer. If it is not, adjust acccordingly, but the principles remain the same.
1. You must load in the ending (final)balance sheet amounts) in SAP as of December 31. No P&L accounts are included. Once you have loaded the amounts, then you can do the standard balance carry forward process in SAP so you have the starting balances of your current fiscal year.
2. Load the monthly activity month-by-month for January through April (assumption: April is the last month for processing financials in the legacy system. Avoid trying to load in every transaction processed this year in teh legacy system into SAP. It is difficult and time consuming and, depending on the number of company codes/accounts, the reconcilation process can take a very long time.
3. When reconciling the financial statement balances in SAP against legacy financial statements, I like to balance the monthly activity first and then the YTD.
4. Dealing with sub-ledgers, such as A/P, A/R and Fixed Assets: For A/P, whenever possible, try to have A/P cut as many checks for the final cutover (this would be for April data conversion) to minimize the number of A/P open items you must convert. For all of the subledgers, you will need a conversion account. Remember in SAP, the A/R, A/P reconcilation accounts cannot be posted to direclty, so you will need conversion accounts. These are one time use accounts for the conversion only and once conversion is finished, they should be blocked for posting an never used again. For Fixed Assets, you need to work with your Fixed Asset person as FA has a unique way of loading Asset Masters/Historical values/Accumulated Depreciation
This is just a short list of items to consider just focusing on FI area. For P&L accounts, your conversion in the current year will be a bit difficult as you also want to populate the related CO object (like cost center) or if you are using project systems, dealing with projects in flight, wehre part of the costs is is the legacy system and new costs in SAP.
