NW7.5 SP8 Consolidation Rules Formulas and Automatic Adjustments

Hi Experts,
I'm working on a project where i have to setup consolidation. I can't find any good documentation on how to work with the automatic adjustments and setting up the consolidation rules formulas.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Consolidation Rules Formulas

Dear Expert,
When I saw the consolidation example in Appshell Appset and I review the business rule "Consolidation Rules Formulas". That business rule contains the fields like as: Rule ID, Entity Method, Intco Method, All Formula, Group Formula, Minority Formula, and Remark. I just know that the field "Entity Method" and "Intco Method" contains the method code from the business rule "Consolidation Methods".
I have the questions like as:
1. We can input the field "Entity Method" and "Intco Method" only one code or the sequence of code in the business rule "Consolidation Rules Formulas". What is the different that we input one code with the several code ?
2. What is the uses of the field "All Formula", "Group Formula", "Minority Formula" ?
Thank you very much for your answer and I really appreciate it.
Best Regards,

I am very hesitant to agree that merging the Method Based Multipliers will give the same result as keeping them separate, in the IFRS starter kit.
As an example, how will you be able to develop an Elimination and Adjustment Rule that targets Newly Acquired companies and differentiate them from existing companies, in addition to treatment of mergers.
These methods (Leaving, Merger, Step Acquisition, Newly Acquired Purchase and Newly Acquired Equity) are distinguished in the method ID, then grouped through Method Based Multipliers. NOT for the purpose of the equation only (ALL FORMULA, GROUP and MINORITY), but also since the Elimination and Adjustment Rule does not have an Entity Field or Method Field, it has METHOD Multiplier.
To explain, Line one of the Method Based Multiplier addresses Existing Companies that have intercompany values with Existing Companies. Line two addresses Existing Companies that have intercompany values with newly Acquired companies, leaving, merged and so on.
Line three addresses newly acquired companies, leaving and so on with existing companies. and line four, newly acquired, leaving, ect... with newly acquired, leaving, ect...
Now the question is, how will you develop an elimination and adjustment rule that targets newly acquired companies, moves the data from F00 to F01, under the Audit_ID INPUT11, for the consoscope and the same month, then conduct the elimination. Or divested to be moved to F98, in addition to other flow/AUDIT_ID treatment. These are different than Existing companies that will not need to be moved from F00 to F01....
To add to it, how will you be able to differentiate in your ELIM and ADJUST Rules between:
All entities but Leaving
All but leaving, divested Interco
Newly Divested
Step Acquisition
Step Divestment
These methods cannot be grouped in the same method multipliers of the existing companies, as the ELIM and ADJUST rules have their field limitations and run on "Entity Group" as per Ownership Model. Thus the need to have these multiple Method Multipliers, despite having the same ALL_FORMULA, GROUP and MINORITY.
As for ALL_FORMULA, it is usually 1. which means automatically -1. this is to eliminate mainly the amount.
Group formula and minority formula are both referenced in the method multiplier (PCON, PCON-POWN, POWN, ect...) and dictate the amounts that will be posted and eliminated.
Minority is used for Equity type ownership, where the holding company owns less that 50% (since proportionate is no longer used in consolidated). it targets the Retained Earning of the held company (equity owned) and eliminates the value. then it reflects the % of ownership of the RE on the
Minority Interest Account of the Held company's consolidated Balance sheet. So if the holding company owns 25% of Company A, and the NI of the held company is 100 USD, the Minority Field in the formula is dictating that only 25 USD is reflected on the Minority Interest of the consolidated company's balance sheet. Meanwhile, all formula is posting the inverse of the amounts for all accounts and group is posting yet another calculation.

Consolidation Rules Formulas table

Hi,
I am working on a Legal Consolidation application in BPC7.0 MS version and have completed the legal consolidation using the standard rules that are configured by SAP BPC. Now the client wants to understand what the significance of the "IntCo Method" is in the Consolidation Rules Fomula table.
I have not found any documentation with information on why the Intco method is required. Does anyone have any information on the same?
Thanks,
Prasanth.

Hi,
The "Consolidation Rules Formula" table controls how the amounts or the destination accounts should be calculated. The behavior is controlled by the rule being used, the consolidation method assigned to the current entity, and its INTERCOMPANY partner, if applicable.
One of the fields in the above table is "IntCo Method", which is, a valid Entity Method, as defined in the Consolidation Method table, a list of entity methods separated by commas, or 99 for all methods. Whatever you specify in this field should be present in "Method Code" column in the "Consolidation methods" table. This is just an ID which is fetched from "Consolidation Rule" table and based on this, the corresponding "Method Type" is fetched from the "Consolidation Rule" table. For example, it might be Holding, or Equity, etc.
Hope it helps.

Problem with balance carry forward business rule and automatic adjustments

Hi All,
I faced with issue when run BCF business rule and consolidation process. According sap courses BPC440 members with A(automatic adjustments) type should carry forward automatically, and I(imputable), M (adjustments) members should carry forwarded by bcf business rule.
When I set up my BCF business rule I use property "Category_for_ope" in Category dimension. But this rule not work properly, then I use notes:
1784365 - Category_for_ope property should not effect Consolidation.
1902677 - The property category_for_ope shall work for consolidation
After applying those notes, system work as I aspect. After i run consolidation first time system carry forward my automatic adjustment from Category "Expected" to "PLAN_Y0" and this is correct!!!. But when i run consolidation process second and third time system duplicated automatic adjustments in Category "PLAN_Y0".
Someone can help me with this Issue?
And sorry for my english

Hi,
Can you try as follows :
*RUN_PROGRAM COPYOPENING
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
CURRENCY = %RPTCURRENCY_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
hope it helps...

Rules, folders and automatic metadata assignment

Hi,
I have set of metadata and DIS (desktop integration suite) in use.
Then i have requirement that certain metadatafield should change if document moves from folder to another (user drags it using windows explorer).
Is this possible to implement by defining rules. Something like:
on update:
if folder=="XXX" then xCustomField="SomeValue"
else if folder="YYY" then xCustomField="SomeValue2"
endif
(folder -> xCollectionID)
Or should i consider writing some filter or some other approach?
Thank you in advance,
-hk

From default functionality, check Metadata Propagation (note that it is rather a "batch" and "manual" operation, so most likely not what you need). Otherwise, I am not aware of any standard functionality that would update metadata on moving
(see:
Moving an item/folder from one folder to another: A user should be able to browse to a folder, select one or more sub-folders and content items, and move them into another folder. The user should not be able to move the folder/items into the child of a folder that is selected to be moved. No metadata should be required as these are existing items/folders. If the destination folder contains items with names the same as those that are being moved, the user should be asked if those items and folders should be overwritten or not.
I also doubt a bit the meaning of your scenario - if xCustomField is strickly derived from folderName, what's the point of having the field at all? (redundant info) Or, can the value be changed, afterwards?

Can I add a formula and automatic calculations in a form?

We would like to put formulas och autoomatic calculations in our forms, is that possible?

Automatic adjustments - Adjustment level not working

Hi all
I have got some basic consolidation rules using the rules tables but as soon as i try and control the order in which the rules are executed using the Automatic adjustments - Adjustment level field, the stored procedure produces the error below:
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Nilanjan
I have 2 rules in the Automatic adjustments table:
In short, Rule 1 should be executed first as Rule 2 should be based on the results of rule 1.
Rule 1: Non Group part cancellation for Proportionate units
Adjustment level = 0
Adjustment type = Proportional
Rule 2: Inter-company elimination
Here the adjustment level = 1
Adjustment type = Generic
When i run the following stored procedure:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE = SPRUNCONSO(%APP%, %CATEGORY_SET%,%CONSOSCOPE_SET%, %SCOPETABLE%,%LOGTABLE%)
The correct results are posted but the package displays as failed with the error message as per the first message in this thread.
The help states the following, which is exactly what i need:
Adjustment level
This field must contain an integer value ranging from 0 to 99 and can be used to order the sequence of execution of the various ELIM rules, if desired.

OEE Report: KPI formulas and aggregation rules?

Hello,
is there documentation about the formulas and aggregation rules used in the OEE Report? Customers will only trust the KPIs in this report if they can verify them.
Formulas & Aggregation
How are the KPIs calculated?
How are the KPIs aggregated, if a work center or resource type is selected instead of a single resource?
Data & Variables
Which data is used? Where do the variables used in the formulas come from? E.g. which tables and columns or which SQL SELECT statements are used?
There is just very little information about the OEE Report in the online help or in the "SAP ME for Discrete Industries" document. And the MII "OEE Report Action", where obviously all the magic happens, is a black box.
Best Regards,
Martin

Hi Daniele,
Is Saichand correct in assuming that you have SUM setup in the BMM layer? If so, follow Saichand's recommendation.
If you are specifying the aggregation in the Answer Request itself, then try this.
Let's say this is your situation:
SELECT DIMENSION, MEASURE_1
FROM CRITERIA1
UNION ALL
SELECT DIMENSION, MEASURE_2
FROM CRITERIA2
UNION ALL
SELECT DIMENSION, MEASURE_3
FROM CRITERIA3
UNION ALL
SELECT DIMENSION, MEASURE_4
FROM CRITERIA4
Change it to this:
SELECT 'CRITERIA1' CRITERIA, DIMENSION, MEASURE_1 MEASURE
FROM CRITERIA1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'CRITERIA2' CRITERIA, DIMENSION, MEASURE_2 MEASURE
FROM CRITERIA2
UNION ALL
SELECT 'CRITERIA3' CRITERIA, DIMENSION, MEASURE_3 MEASURE
FROM CRITERIA3
UNION ALL
SELECT 'CRITERIA4' CRITERIA, DIMENSION, MEASURE_4 MEASURE
FROM CRITERIA4
Then in the combined criteria, add two new measures:
new_measnure1 = SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA in ('CRITIERA1','CRITIERA1') then MEASURE END
new_measnure2 = AVG(CASE WHEN CRITERIA in ('CRITIERA3','CRITIERA4') then MEASURE END
NOTE: The syntax for the new_measure* may need to reference the saw naming convention, ie. saw0 = CRITIERIA, saw1 = DIMENSION, saw2 = MEASURE.
That should work out for you.
Good luck and let me know if this helps.

How to use "Adjustment Level " in automatic adjustments rule

Now we are setting up BPC for legal consolidation.
we use BPC 7.0MS SP4 Version.
I want to use some result of automatic adjustment rules for source data, so I tried to use adjustment level in automatic adjustments rules.
I was setting up A rule's (to use source data) adjustment level is 0 and B rule's level is 1,
the result of SPRUNCONSO were "Error" CSD-150 and CSD-160.
Please let me know how to use adjustment level option.
Thanks.
Edited by: tae-youn.kim on Dec 14, 2009 3:20 AM

Hello :
CSD-150
Check the method between METHOD Table and your ownership Cube. Check your Rules between the RULES Table and The ELIM Table. Check The INTCo.

Consolidation scope NEW and LEAVING

We are setting up the paramaters for the consolidation scopes NEW and LEAVING, however we can't seem to get it working.
We have the datasources "NEW" and "LEAVE" as id's in the datasrc dimension
We have in the Business Rule automatic adjustments the following setup:
ADJUSTMENT ID    ;   DESTINATION DATA SOURCE ; ADJUSTMENT TYPE
ELIMNEW               ;    NEW                                         ;   NEW
ELIMLEAVE           ;     LEAVE                                      ; LEAVING
We have nothing in the Business Rule automatic adjustments details for these 2 consolidation methods
We did not make any changes in the Business Rule consolidation rules
Thx for your help

Hi, Experts:
Can you share your experience in the consolidation methods new and leaving?
thanks in advance.

Regarding Rules, Functions and Risks

Hello,
1. Does SAP provide a standard ruleset for SoD? Does it come with the AC 5.3 .SCA?
2. What is the relation between Rules, Risks, Functions and Business Process?
Thanks.

Hi Gautam,
Just to make it more explanatory, lets take few examples for each entity:
1. Business Process (BP):
It can be a department, group or an independent functional unit in an organization. E.g Finance or HR or Material Management.
2. Function:
It can be a set of activites or say set of simlilar activities in a BP. E.g in SAP Security - SU01 and PFCG combination can be termed as a function - "User and role maintenence" .
3. Risk:
It can be a combination of 2 or more functions which when given to a single user, can be harmful to the organization.
4. Rule:
It is generated from Risks automatically. E.g if A and B are 2 funtions in a risk R, such that:
A has transactions X and Y and
B has transactions M and N
so there can be multiple rules generated here for Risk R , with the combinations like X and M rule, X and N rule, Y and M rule, Y and N rule etc.
5. Ruleset:
As the name suggest, is a set of Rules, generated from Risks. Two Rulesets may contain same, similar or dissimilar risks, based on the lanscape for which you want to use the ruleset. E.g you might have ruleset R1 having Risks 1 to N in your development system and you might have ruleset R 2 having Risks 1 to M in your Production system.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer to you know. For more dependencies within these entities and how they behave with eah other, I would suggest if you create each of them and then observe their linkages. The config guide from SAP would be more than enough for this purpose.

Hersh.

Consolidated companies KGOI and ' ' are different

Hi team,
While clearing TDS Salary GL system showing below error
Consolidated companies KGOI and ' ' are different
     Message no. F5080
Diagnosis
     The number of the affiliated company must be clear for the selected
     document type for all line items. In this case at least two different
     companies or a company in connection with a business partner who does
     not belong to a company are stated.
Procedure
     If you selected the correct accounts, you must enter the document with a
     document type that allows cross-company posting. Otherwise, please
     correct the entered account.
Actually what we done..........
1) In salary entry which was passed by HR payroll, we have distributed cost from company Code-2011 to another company code-5011.
2) Manse some staff in 2011 cost booked in another company code 5011.
3) in that way system passed automatic inter-company transaction, which is correct.
5) but while doing clearing of inter company GLs & other accounts wherever these type of document selected then system throwing above error.
Please guide use.

Hi
Yes you are correct, transports required through to production for this.
The side affect of this I think is that if there are any documents (containing the document types that you have chnaged) posted while this chnage is in production, it would mean that those documents would be populated by the Partner Business Place (ie second company code) in their header record if they cross company codes. That would mean that they could then later be cleared from the second company code against the first. Also when changing the Intra Posting flag on the documnet type do an F1 Help on the filed and consider the SAPHelp on that topic.
Overall I don't think this would be a big issue. But anyway if you transport this through at a period that is planned as low system activity this should ensure you don't post any docs while the chnage is in place and youy are doing the clearing.
Regardss
Michael

Consolidation rules

If the consolidation rules paraemter is set to No in Application settings, will the other rules in the rule file be run?
i.e The rule file contains all subroutines except Consolidate since the default consolidation needs to be run.
Will HFM execute the rule file when calculate or translate is run?

yes the rules will run, it will just ignore the SubConsolidate() and run up the tree and consolidate...

What is the formula for automatically entering todays date into Numbers. In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in numbers. Thx

What is the formula to automatically enter 'current date' into spreadsheet? In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in the Numbers spreadsheet. Thx

201,
Do you want it to update or always show the date when entered?
For updates, use the TODAY() function.
For a static date, use Insert > Date and Time.

Hello All,
After the transport of the Update rules with the related objects to the not modifiable system, everything works fine for some time. But after sometime many update rules gets inactive automatically. We hav'nt changed the Info provider or transported any thing.
We are in BI 7.0.Can any one help me to analyse this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
This problem may ocurs due to dependecies on the objects that you transported, any way you can activate them using the below Program,
Go to SE38
Run the program : RSAU_UPDR_REACTIVATE_ALL
Give the necessary details and execute the Program.
