RE: BPC 10.0 NW Consolidation of Investment (Multi-level)

Hi Expert,
I'm having difficulty in eliminating Holding Company's investment accounts and the Subsidiaries' share capital and retained earning and computing the related minority interest, every time I process consolidation at higher level of consolidation group. Balances of sub consolidation group under consolidation group i'm consolidating are not being extracted/processed. Those being processed are those entities directed owned by the holding company...but not those indirectly owned. I believe that I correctly set-up the ownership manager, methods, method-based multipliers and elimination and adjustment rules. The only issue I can see here is that each entity/company code (data) from ECC only has 1 corresponding SCOPE (Conso Group). Please advise.

Hi V,
Below is the structure of my ownership manager:

CONSOLIDATION METHOD

I don't encounter any issue when running the SCOPE B. Transactional data are being extracted, investment and equity balances are eliminated and minority interest based from ownership are correctly calculated.
But every time I run consolidation for SCOPE A, only transactional data for Entity A and Entity B are extracted, investment and equity are eliminated and minority interest are correctly calculated. The transactional data (equity balances) for Entity C are not extracted, at the same time no minority interest (45.25% = 100% - 54.75%) is computed for Entity C when running consolidation scope A.
Please advise.
Thank you,

Consolidation of Investment Task Query -1

Dear Experts,
I have a critical doubt
I have created Cons. Group and Cons Unit as follows
Main Cons Grp
          Sub Cons Group1
                            Cons Unit 1   (Parent Unit) 20% hold on Cons unit 2 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
                            Cons Unit2    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 1)
          Sub Cons Group 2
                            Cons Unit 3   (Parent Unit) 1000% hold on Cons unit 4 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
                            Cons Unit 4    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 3)
Kindly tell me
1) This kind of Hirerchy will allow me to do COnsolidation of Investment with Minority Interest Calculation)
Or
2) How do I Investment consolidation in the above scenario?
(If you all can help with details)
Regards
Ritesh M

Ritesh,
Hierarchies in SEM-BCS may have different structure, depending on share of ownership and your purpose.
Your hierarchy:
>
>           Sub Cons Group1
>
>                             Cons Unit 1   (Parent Unit) 20% hold on Cons unit 2 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
>                             Cons Unit2    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 1)
>
>           Sub Cons Group 2
>
>                             Cons Unit 3   (Parent Unit) 1000% hold on Cons unit 4 (specified in accounting technique as Parent unit)
>                             Cons Unit 4    (Subsidiary of Cons Unit 3)
Answering to your questions is impossible because:
1. 20% ownership usually means not a subsidiary, but an associate company, that is another accounting method.
2. Ownership in 1000% is impossible.

ECCS Assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units

Dear experts,
I get trouble with on error in ECCS. After I create consolidation of investment method. In order to use this method in consolidation of investment, I have to assign this method to consolidation units.
I used tcode CXM1 to assign consolidation of investment method to consolidation units. But when I execute this tcode, there is no consolidation hierarchy. Therefore, I cannot do assignment.
Any body have ever face with the same error?
I am looking forward to hearing your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!

I dealt this issue.
Thanks.

F.01 - extract to consolidation on company code level

Hi everyone
We're trying to do an extract to consolidation on company code level (1). When popup dialog "Filename for extraction file" appears we can choose between presentation server or application server.
When choosing presentation server and logical filename ECCS_FILE we get error GC027 (Error opening file c:\temp\EXTRACT_CS_CO.txt).
Doing so choosing application server however works (whereas path isn't the same).
We already checked and double-checked settings of logical file name and logical path in transaction FILE.
Any suggestions what to do or isn't it supposed to work via presentation server?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all
Renaud

I have not seen anything that you have mentioned to enter file path?
Is this being customised for your Company?
How did you download this before?

Consolidation of Investment Issue --- Please Help!!!

Hi,
Why after running Consolidation of investments from Consolidation Monitor, do I get 1 additional record as highlighted in picture below. We should get only one elimination record instead of 2.
The 3rd record is the actual record but after running consolidation monitor, SAP is generating the first two records. Why is it generating the 1st record?
Please help me!!!
Regards,
Nicky

Hi Nicky
The basic principle of Consolidation process as per below principles:
1. Reported Financial Data in LC(Local Currency) at G_NONE level should be ZERO otherwise Balance Sheet will not be BALANCED
Ex:
2. After Currency Conversion( LC to GC) the Trail Balance/Balance Sheet should be balanced in Group Currency(GC) at G_NONE level
3. After Consolidation Process BPC will generate or replicate your Data Load/Adjustments into Specific Group Level i.e. GROUP1 based on your Group Dimension.
    a>. Make sure Balance Sheet is Balanced at GROUP1 level after Elimination
   b>.Account   SAP_ECC GROUP1    Dollar Amount > This your original Transaction
       from SAP
Elimination Record:
   c>.Account ELIM GROUP1   Dollar Amount ( '+'OR '-' Revers sign
       based on SAP Transaction -SAP_ECC)
Note: What ever you have from screen is working as per Configuration. Only thing is to make sure you have Offset Account for Elimination of Investments. Otherwise " BALANCE SHEET is not going to be BALANCED"
Hope this will give you the Idea about Consolidation Process before and After.
Thanks
Venkat

BPC NW 7.5 Consolidation versions

Hi Experts,
Just wanted to konw the best practice for keeping Consolidation version .
My idea is to use A separate dimension called version.
Down the line if we have to change the old consolidated data how can we handle it so that we can keep differetn versions of old and updated consolidation versions ??

Hi Joseph,
The Starter Kit is always a must have in a consolidation project an even more in a IFRS consolidation project. Indeed, you will have to adjust the chart of account by adding your members because it can't be fitting any Chart of account out of the box. If these members have the right attributes/properties (the principle is to know what is the original SK account your account is the most similar to and copy/paste/rename), they will be dynamically taken in account in business rules, schedules, reports and scripts logic, allowing a minimum of work and a maximum of security in the implementation.
Don't hesitate to send me an e-mail for more information. I'll be glad to help a little.

BPC 7.0 NW Consolidation questions..

Can someone share some information on following BPC consolidation issues..
1..Currency translation difference in consolidation has to be posted to CTA ( Currency Translation Account) . Where to inform the system to post the CTA to the designated CTA account?
2.Opening balanceloading BPC consolidation...
For how many years it is normally loaded? What is the ideal opening balance loading strategy in BPC. Is there any good document on this
3.Security Administration in BPC..
I am trying to read a good document on how to define users /security in the BPC 7NW . Can someone sent any document link or some good suggestion..

hi Naveen,
I saw you wrote knowledgeable about the Currency Conversion / Currency Translation table settings. We are using Currency Translation with destination account; and works fine with each run.
The ONLY problem we are having / or miss understanding from incomplete BPC 7.0 Documentation is. Why is the Currency Translation Adjustment account not cleard before calculating the adjustment difference between accounts. ... Currently, every adjustment (triggered by every CC run) is added to the CTA account, on top of the last difference. So if you run the CC 10 times a day, the adjustment amount will be posted 10 times. even trhough the total of adjustment may not change during the day.
This seems to be not the use which we need for our requirement, which is to point out the CTA at any given time on the spot. ... hence clearing the CTA before currency conversion, would at least bring the right result every time. (which is the opposit of the current outcome which ist Total CTA: Initial CTA + CTA + CTA + CTA + n x CTA ...)
Any thoughts? --- thanks a lot in advance, Max

Re: BPC; Legal and Management Consolidation

Hello,
Would it be possible to have both legal and management consolidation with one Appset and two different Applications? One Application for legal consolidation and another for Management consolidation?
Please share your inputs.
Kind regards,
RJ

Hi Niranjan,
Can we have both legal and management consolidation in one application ? If there are 2 applications, the processes and reports need to be maintained in 2 different applications.
Is there a way to maintain in one application knowing the complexity involved in intercompany eliminations.
Thank you,
Mohan

BPC data load for consolidation..

Once gone live.. how frequently is the data will be loaded for each month.. Is it on daily basis or only at the end of month loading.
I understand that if the data is loaded only at the end of the month.. all errors will come only during monthend and will delay the consolidation process.

Hi,
Consolidation happens monthly and quarterly only.
Consolidation normally happens at YTD figures ie Year to date figures.
If you take the transaction data mid of the month and start doing execution your profit will show wrong figures and all eliminations may go wrong.
You can plan your consolidation process after Closer of existing source system books for the particular month.

Create new consolidation of Investment Method (ECCS)

Hi,
Is there any impact if i change the existing method z-419 from periodic reduction to Extra Ordinary Amortization (Goodwill treatment), will it affect other unit using the same method?

My issue is, one consol unit already stop amortizing the goodwill, am thinking if am gonna change the CoI method or just create a new method.
Please advise.

I dealt this issue.

NW Dev Studio, CMS, Dev, consolidation and production stack levels

What are the rules for the stack levels when related to NW development. If my nw dev studio is on stack 11 and my SLD CMS is on stack 10 and my target deployment on DEV is stack 8, what are my limitations.? Does anyone know of any restrictions SAP has related to webdynpro development and stack level.
Thanks
Mikie

it is strongly recommended to <b>keep DevStudio and target run-time system on the same level</b>
NWDI servers are release independent, they should contain proper content:
- SLD content should be updated to the "highest" level in landscape (11 in your case)
- CMS should be in sync with SLD
- CBS build space should contain build plugins and libraries corresponsing to the target run-time
NWDS sp11 will produce sp11 compatible components,
if build space contains fitting to run-time (sp8) build plug-ins there are chances to have successful local build, but errors during build on CBS
if build space contains fitting to NWDS (sp11) build plug-ins there are chances to have successful local and central (CBS) build, but problems at run-time.
Hope to not confuse you with all these permutations
Cheers.

Re: Consolidation and Elimination in BPC

Hello,
I like to share a scenario with you all -
We planned not to use Consolidation of Investment in BPC. Run all other eliminations; receivables/payables, revenue/expenses etc. In this case do i need to fix Percentage(%) of ownership in BPC?
Kind regards,
RJ

Hi RJ,
You need to check all the possible scenarios where you would use owership %. I have listed few below
1. COI - you are not setting this any way
2. MI Computationk
3. Good will computation
4. Intercompany elimination for JV/associates or transactions with JV or associated. - ( we eliminate only proportional % for JV's). But we will not eliminated transaction if it is associate.
5. Dividend Elimination - As MI portion of dividend paid is to be computed.
US elim is best to use, when elimination is always 100% and all the companies are consolidated using purchase method.
Hope this helps,
Kranthi
