Preparation for Consolidation using EC-CS

Dear FI/CO experts,
We have a huge chunk of AR/AP/GL open items with wrong or missing values for trading partner (VBUND), profit center(PRCTR) and partner profit center(PPRCTR) fields.
We implemented EC-CS in our organization and need to rectify or correct these individual line items with the correct field values i.r.o the above fields.
When I use T-codes (F-04, F-30, F-51) for u201Cpost with clearingu201D functionality, though I am able to rectify the trading partner information in the newly created line items after duly clearing the erroneous existing line items, I am not able to pass the PRCTR and PPRCTR in the said transaction.
Further, the source tables for EC-CS is GLPCA and GLPCT and the data is not moved to PCA area even after rectifying the trading partner information using the said T-codes. So the correction methodology is not effective.
Have you anytime encountered similar type of a situation where in the infected data is rectified through a transaction posting rather than effecting table level changes in GLPCA and GLPCT.
Please suggest your views.
Regards,
Raos

Preparation for Consolidation in SEM-BCS.

Hello All,
Im implementing SEM - BCS (BW-based). I have the following versions:
- R/3: SAP ECC 6.0
- BW: 7.0
- SEM: 6.0
What do I have to customize in R/3 in order to extract the correct data to BW?
Do I have to do all the customization in transaction SPRO (Enterprise Controlling -> Integration: Preparation for Consolidation)?
I know that I have to create the companies and assign them to the company codes. I also have to create group chart of accounts and assign it to the transactional chart of accounts.
Can I do this in the account master data or do I have to have a Financial Statement Version for the Group?
Is it necessary to maintain Transaction Types for Consolidation?
Do I have to customize the Consolidation Staging Ledger and extract the data from here to BW?
I think I have to customize all this, but because all this transactions are in EC-CS customizing and I want to implement SEM - BCS (in BW), Im not sure if this is the right path.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Helena

GANSHA,
what you are telling me is:
- I don´t have to do the customization in ECC. The only thing I have to do is, identify the tables and extract the data I need to BW.
But this way, how does the system know, which postings are from group companies or not?
The company code in R/3 is equivalent to company (consolidation unit role) in BCS. The Group companies are created in BCS and the companies in BCS are under those group companies.
If I were you, I would check whether Fiscal Year Variant is same across all company codes in R/3. I would also check whether parallel currencies are activated or not. Non-activation of parallel currency is not issue, but I will try to understand what are all the currencies involved and the currency translation flow.
I have created the companies in ECC in order to fill the "Trading Partner" field in the master data ( vendor, customer and G/L accounts) and to use on FI postings.
Yes, you have taken the right steps.
I have created the transaction types in ECC in order to use them on FI postings.
None of this is necessary? I dont have all the company codes in SAP, some of the data will be uploaded to BW by file.
The transaction types in ECC are different from the transaction types (also known as Movement Types) in BCS. You will continue to maintain the FI transaction types.
Regarding the chart of accounts, I dont have a group chart of accounts. For what I understand theres two ways:
- creating a group chart of accounts in ECC and in BW will be available as part of the GL account master data
or
- creating Financial statement items for consolidation in ECC, Build a Financial Statement Version for the Group (linking the operational chart of accounts to the consolidation items).
I think, this is the only way for me to use the consolidation staging ledger (totals table GLT3)? Or am I wrong?
What you are telling me is that I dont have to do this in ECC, but in BCS customizing?
Im confused ... please help me!!!
Helena
In your ECC, whether GLT3 table is activated? In many clients' companies, GLT3 table is not activated. The GL totals data is available in BSEG table.
If you do not have Group COA/ Group GL accounts maintained now, there are many ways to get GL totals data with Group GL level info added. You have already mentioned the steps.
One more method is create a custom mapping table of Operational GL accounts with Group GL accounts outside R/3 (to be maintained as part of BW) and make your R/3 GL totals data to flow thru this table, so that the final data in BW is available in both operational GL accounts and Group GL accounts. Developers will be able to help you.

SEM-BCS Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes

Hi All,
Is the task "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" only implemented when Consolidation of Investments has also been implemented?
Does "Preparation for Consolidation Group Changes" have any value on its own?
Any comments, replies or suggestions most welcome.

Hi,
I think that prep for cons group changes is independent (but supplementary to) from CoI.
See what is said in help:
"When in the middle of a fiscal year a consolidation unit is either acquired by a consolidation group (acquisition), divested from a consolidation group (divestiture), or <b>changes its accounting technique</b> (method change), the following data must be adjusted:
- Reported financial data
- Standardized financial data
- Consolidated data with posting level 20"
As you can see, not only consolidated data are to be changed, but also Standardized and Reported.
Moreover, as is seen above, changes of accounting technique will also trigger such activities.
So, my answers:
1. No
2. Yes.
Best regards,
Eugene

Preparing for First Use

I have completed the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) using Boot Camp Assistant on my MacBook Pro (MBP) 13-inch with 250 GB HDD (stock) and 4 GB DDR3 1067 MHz (stock), which I got in June this year (2010). So, when installation is complete, the setup asks you to restart.
So, I restarted my MBP and booted into Windows 7 Ultimate. The Windows symbol came out and after that the screen changed to the screen with the words "Setup is preparing for first use" and a bar that glows beneath it (with the glow moving from left to right and changing color through the spectrum of light). However, the setup hangs or freezes in the middle of this. This mean that the glow doesn't move and the screen does not change.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I don't know the particulars of the MBP but there should be other threads and users. It does not seem to be normal.
This is retail DVD and not an ISO downloaded and burned that came from school? otherwise you may need to re-burn the DVD.
See if it loads in Safe Mode
Reboot from Windows 7 DVD
May need to uninstall a device driver
After Windows is installed you'll need your OS X DVD to install/add Apple drivers and services

It could be a disk error, in which case CHKDSK or start over and when you format NTFS, instead of quick format, use full format with option to map out bad blocks. And that is IF it is disk drive error.
I had an error once but it was after I had been using Windows, and I had a 2nd user account I could login and correct the problem with the first account (folder needed was read-only and likely disk I/O error).
I favor Windows 64-bit, but you may want to try 32-bit instead, and unless you plan to add more RAM, shouldn't make any real difference. Retail copy comes with both versions on DVDs.

Preparation for Consolidation group changes

Hi Experts,
I have worked on BCS but new to consolidation of investments and PCC.
I am not able to understand the Preparation for Consolidation (PCC) tasks as to why are they required. I've the following questions: -
1. SAP help says PCC tasks are supplementary to the C/I tasks. Could you elaborate on how are the suuplementary to C/I tasks?
2. What is the diff. between Acuisition in case of C/I and in case of PCC?
3. In terms of reporting what will go worng if we don't run PCC tasks after a new acquisition let say.
Thanks in advance,
SSC

1. PCC creates records to offset the balance sheet balances upon divestiture. These records include the relevant cons group values, where most BCS records do not include cons group because cons group in most cases is determined dynamically via the BCS virtual infocube function module's consolidations logic.
2. PCC records and documents only occur when there is a divestiture in the master data for a cons group. This could occur for a divestiture or transfer activity. Acquisition does not affect PCC, except when it occurs as a result of a transfer, and it is relevant to the divestiture portion of the transfer as opposed to the acquisition portion.
3. Nothing after an acquisition, it is mainly for divestitures and transfers (where a divestiture is necessary in the cons group master data).

Execution of preparation for consolidation group changes

Hello,
In 1/2011 there was a change in the consolidation units hierarchy.
A consolidation unit moved to upper consolidation group.
I cannot find in the master data of the consolidation unit , where should I update the FIRST CONSOLIDATION DATE,
and the LAST CONSOLIDATION DATE.
Best regards,
Odelia Volfovich.

Look at the master data of the cons groups - both the initial cons group as well as the new cons group.
If this truly is a vertical move up the hierarchy, the initial cons group should have a period of divestiture, as 001/2011.
Because the cons unit has always been a part of the higher up cons group via the lower cons groups ownership, the new cons group should have period of first consolidation the same as that of the initial cons group.
The cons unit should remain in both cons groups until at least the end of the fiscal year and in many cases, depending on the reporting needs for year-over-year comparison reporting, it should remain for an additional year or more.

Preparations for Consolidaton Group Chanes Process

Hi all
does any one ran Preparation for Consolidation Group change task @ Consolidation Monitor where moving OLD CONS GROUP to NEW CONS GROUP with mimimal changes in other words, as it is to NEW GROUP( change in PARENT UNIT)
my questions:
1. do we need to make any adjustment entries until AFD? think no Change except Parent Unit will change from OLD to NEW
2. Ending period is NEW CONS GROUP Creation @ CG master data level because the same period for PREP Cons Group task
3. how to handle Goodwill in this process where subs were 100% owned by parent units.
appreciated your comments/suggestions/help in advance

Hi Dan
item No.2 is I have made ending period as 006/2009 for OLD CONS GROUP for all CONS UNITS
Yes, New CONS GROUP is 006/2010 to 012/9999
Please clarify one more thing:
CG1       001/2008 to 006/2010
   CU-1 -> PU
   CU-2
         I....... CG21
                      CU - 2 ..> PU
                      CU-220
                      CU-221
                        I..... CG2210
                                - CU -221 ..> PU
                                   CU -222
   CU-3
new group: 006/2010 TO 012/9999
CGA       006/2010 to 012/9999
   CU - A ...> PU
   CU-2
         I....... CG01
                      CU - 1 ..> PU
                      CU-220 A
                      CU-221A
                        I..... CG2210A
                                - CU -221 ..> PU
                                   CU -222
   CU-3
Question: Now in New CG01, CU-1 is no longer TOP PU and its CU-A ( which exist in 006/2010)
What is the process now? still need a transfer and or just ending for CU-1 as 001/2008 to 006/2010
appreciated your comments/help

How to prepare FI-GL for Consolidation in SEM BCS

Hello together,
can somebody tell me in a few steps how to activate the FI-GL (0FI_GL_6) that it can be used for consolidation in SEM BCS. My problem is that FI_GL_6 (and also FIGL_C10 for new FI-GL) have not all required fields for consolidation in SEM BCS, especially movement type is missing.
I know how to use the BCS data collection functionality "load of data stream" and I also know how to activate the BI Content for FI (and how to connect the data basis from BCS with the "FI Cube" via source data basis).
But how can I prepare the FI Cube (DataSource, InfoSource) that it concludes all neccessary informations?
Thanks for support.

we consolidate on the BSEG tables for actuals and GLPCP for plan data, it all depends on your business requirements, if you feel that the details out of GL_6 is insufficient find out the tables that bring the needed information and build a custom data source, but my guess is that the content datasrc's should solve the issue in most cases.

Any solution for iCloud - Outlook integration - Preparing calendar for first use?

Every time I switch to the calendar view I get a little bubble in the taskbar saying "preparing calendar for first use". This ends up freezing Outlook for about 45- 60 seconds -- long enough for the Outlook window to have a "(not responding)" added to the title bar. This freeze-out is massively disruptive. It seems like Outlook is re-preparing the new iCloud calendars every time. Is this normal? Is there a configuration setting I could look at for this?
Same/Reference issue found: ID # 10407486

I had the same issue, this is the solution that worked for me.
-remove all icloud sharing with caledar
-open outlook
-go to file > account settings > data files
-delete icloud data file
Now it doesn't freeze on me

Preparing for Oracle OCA 11g using an Oracle Express 10g database

As a software application developer, I have been considering Oracle certification for a while to enhance my skill set. Unfortunately I don't have access to a commercial Oracle installation, and would like to use a free version of Oracle Express during my studies. The latest OCA courses largely focus on Oracle 11g, and it would appear that there is no free (Express) 11g database available yet.
Could anyone please advise me whether it would be possible and practical to prepare for the 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I and 1Z0-052 Oracle Database 11g: Administration I exams using an Oracle Express 10g database instance, while accompanied by the relevant Oracle 11g study material? In other words, is the overlap between Oracle 10g and 11g sufficient that a solid understanding of 10g could allow me to successfully sit the 11g exams? Furthermore, would the Express edition of the database provide sufficient functionality to prepare for the Administration exam?

(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_051 says Exam 051 has been validated against Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g. Training on either version will be appropriate preparation.).
For 1z0-052 the situation is different. Oracle 10g express edition hides some of the administration tasks ... you really need to be using 11g.
If you dont waht Oracle 11g all over your regular machine then I would typically recommend install Oracle Enterprise Linux either on a spare machine with a dual core or HT processor and with 2GB or more of memory (eg Dell gx280 or better); or using a virtualisation solution on your current machine (ram would need to be 3GB or higher) (eg virtualbox or whatever ... though windows as a guest can have a license issue).

I bought CS3 several years ago while in school, but had to drop out before I even opened the software. A few months ago I opened and installed the software and used Photoshop to complete a review project in preparation for my return to school. This morning when I tried to open Photoshop again I got a message saying the license didn't support the software anymore and I would need to check with my IT administrator or contact Adobe. I tried calling Adobe but the recorded message said CS was not phone supported. I know it took me a long time to get back to school, but it seems sad to waste the $1,000 I spent on the software. Is there a solution to this issue or do I need to buy new software? Thank you for your help if you have any suggestions.

I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Why does Outlook keep "preparing [iCloud] calendar for first use"?

Hello all --
I just installed iCloud on my Windows 7 laptop and configured it to integrate with Exchange. The functionality seems to work but there are two very annoying behaviours that I hope someone can help me with:

The iCloud calendars are always checked when I start up. Is there any way to uncheck them? Solving this might solve #1 above
Any suggestions on how to resolve and/or debug these further?

Partner Segment as part of New GL function for consolidation purpose

Dear SAP colleagues,
I have the following questions around Partner Segment as part of the New GL function:
1. Has anybody added partner segment (Field PSEGMENT) to the Coding Block as part of the New GL function yet?
2. Can we display or add partner segments on all relevant postings?
3. What other alternatives exist for consolidation in BCS lower than company code?
4. Who has some documentation around why partner segments should be added to the coding block?
5. Who has business requirements for adding partner segments and documentation?
In advance thank you very for any help that can be provided.

Hi Partner segment s required if you prepare consolidation for segments. This field can help the consolidation system to identify inter segment transactions for profit elimination. Trading partner field is used to identify Intercompany Postings and it will help legal entity consolidation.
