SEM-BCS: total transfer

Hello,
I need help.
Scenario: Two companies will be merging as one and falls under the same cons group.
Is total transfer (under COI) the correct activity to use?
If yes, please help share what are the different settings, changes, financial data, so I can test in the SEM-BCS.
Thank you in advance

Hi Jouan,
So are you trying to say that total transfer is not  for merging one company to another company scenario?
For example company A fully acquired  company B. So we intend to merge company B'sfinancial data into company A.
Can we use total transfer for this?
Thank you.

  • General Questions about SEM-BCS Data Transfer

    Please help me guys ! I need a clearer picture as to how exactly the loading of data should be done to SAP SEM-Busines Consolidation
    Q1) Can I specify the Basic Cubes in my Data Basis Streams that I use for FI & CO in BCS-Workbench ? Or do I need to switch these cubes to Transactional, so it can be used in SEM-BCS ?
    Q2) or Do I have to export the data out of my FI & CO cubes in BW to a FLAT FILE, and then load the Flat File into custom Transactional Cubes ?
    Q3) Usually, for SEM-BCS would there be any direct connection to SAP R/3 or it`s via BW ?
    Please help me with these initial issues guys ! Very much appreciated!

    Hi Eugene,
       Great man! You`re back!...Nice to hear from yourself
       Anyways, I still am struggling to understand the Intergration from SEM-BCS with BW and/or R/3. If you have any material that can help me understand the intergration would be helpful.
       So, I had a look into the SAP Note 689229
       It says, all changes of master data nad hierarchies have to be made via the application layer by means of application SEM-BCS :-
      a) By Flexible Upload
      b) Manually in Consolidation Workbench
      c) In Subordinate systems from transports
      Hence, am I correct to assume that the only 2 options are permitted: Option (a) Flat File (b) Manually define the master data in BCS-Workbench ?
        So, now assuming that I need to define Consolidation Items into SEM-BCS.
      Because  there's too many, I would go with option (b) Flat File.
      So, I create a Flat File containing the Consolidation Items. Next, how do I get this loaded into BCS-Console ?
      Do I have to create a Transactional Info Cube and then load this Consolidation Items Flat File into it? Then following from there, I specify this Transactional Info Cube in my Data Stream ? or
      Is there a way, I can directly read the Flat File from SEM-BCS ?
      I use the following Info Cubes as source to my Data Basis:-
                       <b>Data Target  | Virtual InfoProvider</b>
      TOTAL RECORDS =   0BCS_C50    |     0ECCS_C05
      DOCUMENTS     =   0BCS_DS12   |     0BCS_VC12
       P/S: We don`t use the SAP R/3 ECCS Module

  • Total Transfer & Organizational Change (SEM-BCS)

    Dear colleagues!
    Got som challenge with processing a merger under consolidation of
    investments in SEM release 4.0.
    As I understand, the proper method to apply to mergers is a) a
    divestiture of the old consolidation unit and b) postings of account
    balances from old unit toward the new unit in the source system,
    with subsequent data load.
    Issue:
    In our case a subsidary of the old parent (merged)"follows" the
    merger
    towards another consolidation group (old parent divested, subsidary
    unchanged with new cons group assignment).
    Client expects the merger to be physically carried out in period 6,
    with a validity (back in time) starting with period 1, without
    processing period 1-5 in the monitor. Client also expects the income
    statement balances to be reversed from old cons group assignment and
    posted under new cons group for the accum. balance from period 1-6.
    Question:
    Would anybody know (could give us) a brief description on what to
    remember when setting the parameteres in preparation of the
    organization change (total transfer)!?
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    Frank

    Dan,
    What C/I activity are we supposed to use if we want transfer a unit vertically up in the hierarchy?
    And also,  we are still getting an error with Organization Change scenario when we run our COI. Can we please send you a detailed document of the issue we are facing to your email id?
    Thanks
    Ramesh

  • Transfer Under SEM-BCS

    Hi Experts,
    I am using additional financial data for Investments and Equity Data.
    I want to perform transfer of Consolidation unit from One Group to another Group.
    However, when I execute Transfer activities along with Change Organizational function, the Financial Data is transferd to target group but Goodwill data is not posted to Transferee Company.
    Please suggest the procedure for Total Transfer with or without affecting Net Income.
    Warm Regards,
    USR

    Hi,
    I guess you tick the "extraordinary amortisation of goodwill" in the C/I system utilisation.
    If you tick this function, then you have to provide the usefull life for its amortisation.
    Hope it helps.
    regards,
    Halim

  • Implementation of SEM-BCS

    Hi Experts,
    i am trying to implement SEM-BCS. I am still new in it. Are there any documentation about step by step to configure SEM-BCS?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi,
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=bw-bcs&cat=sdn_all
    Basics of BCS modelling -
    Key figures -
    You are generally not permitted to change any properties of the key figures used in SEM-BCS. The only exceptions to this are options that affect the display in Business Explorer and the "Characteristic is document property" setting.
    If you want to use your own InfoObjects as key figures for totals records in the InfoCube, consider the following conditions:
    1. SEM-BCS supports four roles for key figures in the data stream for totals records: Value in group currency, value in local currency, in transaction currency and quantity. You can assign a maximum of four key figures in the data basis accordingly. If you include additional key figures in the InfoCube, these cannot be processed in the consolidation. You are not permitted to assign other roles, such as 'subassignment,' to key figures either.
    2. In SEM-BCS, the values are always stored periodically in the database. Furthermore, year-to-date values or non-cumulative values are not managed separately but result from cumulation in each case over the periods of the current fiscal year up to the current period. (This is a purely technical restriction. The consolidation functions greatly support the process with year-to-date values.) Therefore, you must define InfoObjects as cumulative values. Proceed according to the 0CS_TRN_GC, 0CS_TRN_LC, 0CS_TRN_TC, 0QUANTITY InfoObjects that are delivered.
    3. You cannot use referencing key figures in SEM-BCS. If you want to define a key figure with a reference, to transfer the technical properties of the referenced InfoObject identically, you can simply create this with a template instead. However, if you want to use the special BW function linked with referencing key figures (see the online documentation in the BW), enter the referencing key figures in the InfoCube, but assign the referenced key figures to the data basis.
    Characteristics
    With the following characteristics, you are not permitted to make changes to the properties. Once again, the only exceptions here are the options that affect the display in Business Explorer:
    0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR, 0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL, 0BCS_PRGRP, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_SEQNM, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR, 0CS_PLEVEL, 0CURRENCY, 0DATE, 0UNIT, 0USERNAME
    Compounding -
    When you define the compounding of an InfoObject, some compound relationships are not supported:
    You cannot compound subassignments to consolidation units.
    You are not permitted to compound the document type and the (0CS_PLEVEL) posting level.
    You cannot compound noncurrent assets and assets/liabilities to 0BCS_ALTYPE. In addition, you cannot compound to a characteristic from the totals cube, with the exception of consolidation units, partners, and so on, and their higher-level characteristics.
    ODS objects / Virtual InfoProvider -
    You can generate the ODS objects for additional financial data and the virtual InfoProvider from the data basis maintenance. However, you can also create these manually and enter them in the data basis. If you do this, create the ODS objects and virtual InfoProvider with the same characteristics and structure they would have had if generated by the data basis maintenance. You can only deviate very slightly from this.
    You are not permitted to include the following InfoObjects in any InfoProvider, unless they are generated by the data basis automatically:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY
    The following InfoObjects must not be contained in the InfoObject catalog, which is defined in the data basis:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY, 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCPER3
    Time characteristics -
    SAP consolidation SEM-BCS ignores changes with the 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCYEAR time characteristics. If you make changes, for instance, if you create hierarchies or attributes, these are not taken into account by SEM-BCS. Therefore, there is no maintenance in the workbench, you cannot use the hierarchies or attributes in the functions of SEM-BCS for selections and so on, and you cannot use the attributes or hierarchies for selections in BW queries.
    Characteristic values
    The following InfoObjects may have the values set by default by SAP only . You are not permitted to change them, not even by using the BW master data maintenance:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DIDIEL, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_IPAAC, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0BCS_TIMMOD, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_PLEVEL
    For these InfoObjects you can only use the tools of the master data service of the Financial Basis to synchronize master data, so the master data is transferred by the SEM-BCS tables to the BI tables, but not the other way round.
    Predefined InfoObjects for individual roles
    The system automatically uses most of the InfoObjects mentioned here to activate certain data streams. However, there also are some InfoObjects that you must manually enter in the cube for the totals records. Subsequently, you must assign certain roles to these InfoObjects. These roles are allowed for these InfoObjects only, you cannot assign these roles to other InfoObjects.
    These are:
    0CS_PLEVEL for the posting level role (required)
    0BCS_CTFLG for the conversion role (optional)
    0BCS_PRGRP for the product group role (optional)
    Activate characteristics and key figures from BW Content
    Before you create a data basis of SAP consolidation, you have to activate certain InfoObjects from BW Content.
    1. You must always activate the following: 0CS_PLEVEL, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCYEAR.
    2. If you use documents, you must also activate: 0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR
    3. If you use the virtual InfoProvider, activate: 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TIMMOD also
    4. If you use any data stream in addition to the totals records, also activate: 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8
    5. If you use the data streams of the consolidation of investments, activate: 0ACQ_PER, 0ACQ_YEAR, 00BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWOFFS, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_GWRED, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_SEQNUM, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR
    6. If you use organization changes, activate: 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL
    7. If you use data streams for stock and delivery data, activate 0BCS_PRGRP.
    8. If you use data streams for assets/liabilities or noncurrent assets, activate: 0BCS_ALTYPE, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DYEAR, 0BCS_IPADAU, 0BCS_IPALCM, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_RETBG
    The list of the InfoObjects varies depending on the release. Of course, you do not have to activate InfoObjects that do not exist in your release.
    You do not have to activate InfoObjects that are not explicitly specified. However, if you do not activate them, some functions may not be available to you. For example, if you do not activate the 0BCS_CTFLG InfoObject and do not use it for totals records in the InfoCube, the currency translation cannot display any currency translation differences on the initializing data records.
    Attributes When you define the InfoObjects in BW, attributes can be assigned to InfoObjects. This results in the following restrictions:
    In SEM-BCS 3.1B, 3.2 and 3.5, no InfoObjects that appear in the permanent parameters of a consolidation area or are fixed in a consolidation area may be attributes of an InfoObject used in SEM-BCS.
    InfoObjects that are used as a consolidation unit must not have 0FISCVARNT as an attribute.

    Re: BCS - Modelling requirements
    Posted: Feb 24, 2007 10:56 PM in response to: moini kembly Reply E-mail this post
    Hi,
    On this phase you should determine and describe the following:
    - sources of data to be consolidated (R/3, flat files, 3rd parties)
    - methods of receiving/uploading these data into BW
    - the appropriate BW objects (characteristics, key figures, cubes etc.)
    - time characteristics to be used (is it enough to have only fiscal chars? do you need the calendar ones too?)
    - is data upload to be directly into totals cube? if not - consider the intermediate cube. What kind of data transformation is to be done during upload of data from interim cube to the totals?
    - methods of getting data into totals cube (flexible upload, reading from datastream, manual entries)
    - will you need additional financial data? if yes, which ones and how will you load this data?
    - what types of data you need to consolidate (actual, plan, forecast etc.)
    - how many chars will be given the VERSION role?
    - plan the number of consolidation areas. The best way is to have the only one. it will minimize the customization.
    - how many consolidation units hierarchies do you have (for example, if you need consolidated reports according to management and IFRS structure of the group, then you have 2 hierarchies)?
    - determine the structure of the group hierarchies.
    - what is the group's currency? is it one currency or several ones?
    - determine the currency translation methods for each data type.
    - make sure that all consolidation units have the same chart of accounts. if not, consider the mapping or transformation of the numbering of accounts.
    - consider the currency translation types for different groups of accounts in the balanse sheet (for example, fixed assets and equity - historical rate, retairned earnings - everage rate, non-monetary items - current rate etc.).
    - consider the kind of translation - periodic/cumulative for different data types and reports.
    - determine the set of consolidated reports as an output.
    - which custom characteristics you need to bring to the totals cube in order to get the reports needed?
    - which standard chars you'll have to customize and how exactly (bringing new attributes, customizing the std or creating the custom chars)
    - if you'll replace a standard char with a custom one, consider that some another chars may depend on the char to be replaced. it's especially true for a company code. if you use a custom char for a company, then you have to use the reference chars for partner company, investee company, allocation company etc.
    - will your consolidation units be one-dimension structure (by company) or it is a matrix one? if the latter, what is the second cons unit?
    - will the BCS functionality cover all your consolidation needs? if not, consider the workarounds. reclassification is to be considered as a tool # 1.
    It's just an incomplete introduction to the issues to be determined during a blue-print phase.

  • SEM-BCS: Merger

    Hello Experts,
    I have this scenario below:
    Two companies will be merging as one company. Both of these companies falls under the same consolidation group.
    We plan to use vertical or horizontal merger. However, its not found in the set of COI activity in SEM-BCS.
    Is it available in SEM-BCS?
    If so, please help provide helpful documentation.
    Thank you so much in advance for the big help.

    The list of the InfoObjects varies depending on the release. Of course, you do not have to activate InfoObjects that do not exist in your release.
    You do not have to activate InfoObjects that are not explicitly specified. However, if you do not activate them, some functions may not be available to you. For example, if you do not activate the 0BCS_CTFLG InfoObject and do not use it for totals records in the InfoCube, the currency translation cannot display any currency translation differences on the initializing data records.
    Attributes When you define the InfoObjects in BW, attributes can be assigned to InfoObjects. This results in the following restrictions:
    In SEM-BCS 3.1B, 3.2 and 3.5, no InfoObjects that appear in the permanent parameters of a consolidation area or are fixed in a consolidation area may be attributes of an InfoObject used in SEM-BCS.
    InfoObjects that are used as a consolidation unit must not have 0FISCVARNT as an attribute.

  • Total transfer

    Hi all,
    We are using SEM-BCS 6.0 and we have a question.
    We are having an inconsistency in the Totals Records after a total transfer in a downwards movement.
    At the consolidation area GA01, consolidation unit PL01 has 100% participation in PL23 and PL23 has 100% participation in PL24.
    Now we have done a downwards movement of PL24 from GA01 to GA08 where we have a total transfer of participation from PL23 to PL22.
    We also execute the task "Change to Consolidation Group" in order to clear financial statement itens of PL24 at GA01.
    The error we get is that in the consolidation of investments the elimination of the investment (posting level 30) is being posted to an incorrect partner company.
    The partner company should be equal to the investee unit (that should be PL24) but is being posted to a partner company (PL22 and PL23).
    In the Totals Records, the investee is correct (PL24) but the partner company is incorrect, is being posted as PL23 and PL22.
    Example:
    Investee unit - PL24
    Company - PT23
    item - 51000000 (equity item)
    partner company - PL22 (should be PL24)
    posting level - 30
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards.

    Because partner unit is not relevant for COI and only investee is relevant, partner unit is not changed with the total transfer. Only a manual entry will change the partner unit for posting level 30 records but it should not be necessary.

  • How SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?

    Hi,
    I would like to find out how SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?
    Income statement
    Profit after Tax - 50
    Balance Sheet
    Retained profit (last year) - 100
    Current Year profit - 50 
    How do i configurate 'Profit after Tax' = 'Current Year profit' in workbench? Is BCS going to store the computed results?
    Balance items (ie  'Retained profit (last year)' and 'Current Year profit') by default are carry forward to next year in BCS.
    Do i need to configurate  'Current Year profit' add to 'Retained profit (last year)'?
    Pls advise.
    Thanks.
    Regards, Renee

    Hi Renee,
    By default, the balance sheet items are to be carried forward to next year. If you don’t make any settings, both items, Retained profit (last year) and Current Year profit will be transferred to themselves, that is not correct.
    You need to show the system which items are to be carried forward not to themselves.
    To force the system to make the proper transfer, in UCWB go to Consolidation Functions -> Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward.
    Enter there the following information:
    <b>Orig. Item__________Debit Item_______Credit Item</b>
    Current Year profit____RE (last year)_____RE (last year)
    Do the similar operation for all items to be carried to other than themselves items, for example dividends of the current and last years etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Copy data posting level 20 - 30 is not allowed SEM BCS

    Hi expert,
    We need to copy data from a version to another version, is very
    important for us to import documents with posting level 20/30. Copy
    task is only used for documents with posting level 01 - 10. But, in EC - CS we could to execute the copy program for this kind of documents,
    and we are migrating from Ec-cs to SEM BCS so, we need to keep the same
    funcionality.
    Any idea in order to solve it? Badi´s? user exits?
    Thanks in advance,
    Beatriz Bernardos

    Hi
    It is not possible to copy data at posting level 20 and 30 as they are group entries.
    Logically, it should not allow one to copy the entry at posting level 20 and 30.
    SAP doesnt support copying data at posting level 20 and 30.
    I had same kind of requirement in all of my BCS project but I believe logically it is not correct to copy group level entry.
    Alterntively, what you can do is,
    create export datasource to load the data back into BCS integration cube from BCS total records virtual cube by changing posting  level 20/30 to 01 or 10 in the update rule.
    It still believe it will give you the wrong result in the report.
    Please have a common understanding with customer that it is not possible copy posting level 20/30
    Regards,
    Manish

  • SEM BCS-BW Reports development

    Hi All,
    I need help and suggestion from your side .
    We have X -reports in SAP-BW whcih are actual & planning cubes based .
    We have  Reporting & Total cubes in separate system (SEM-BCS)
    So req is that we need to develop Y-new reports in SEM-BCS as it is the X-reports which are avialable in SAPBW.
    Problem is that while developing new Y Reports in SEM-BCS many Char Infobjects & Time Char,Key fig are missing in SEM-BCS cubes .
    Please suggest me how to proceed.
    Thanks&Regards
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    I'm afraid that there is not much we can help you with. Everything in your case depends on the specifics, details.
    I can give only some suggestions. In many cases it's either impossible or meaningless to build all the reports from one reporting cube. That's why, first of all, try (yourself or with the help of functional people) separate all the reports you need to build into 1. using non-consolidated data (it might be a simple sum of all ConsUnits figures, without eliminations) and 2. using consolidated data.
    For 1st category, I beleive, you may use just BW cubes. For the 2nd one - BCS cubes. Take into account that the BCS cubes have some limitations on the key figures and time chars usage. And it's not prudent (or feasible) to insert such non-standard (for BCS) infoobjects. Insist on reasonable limitation of reports to be built from the BCS cubes by those which are really relevant for consolidation.
    Another investigation to be considered is: examine if planning, forecating and actual data are comparable -- I met such a situation when details and subassignments of budget data was significantly different from those of actual.

  • Remote Extractor and Real Time Infocube for SEM BCS

    Hi Experts,
    I have somes doubts about the integration between SEM and BW.
    There is a cycle that have the next processes:
    1.- begin in R/3 with the movements in FI, CO and/or general ledgers
    2.- Activate the extractors standards for replicate/extract data to BW. For example, 0FI_GL_XXXX.
    3.- Configure a method for take the information from BW to SEM.
    4.- My doubt begin here... For take the information from SEM to the real time infocube, where I configure?  What Have I for configure?
    The real time infocube, What is the proposal? Where take the data?  Here, Do the remote extractor begin to apply?
    Thank you very much for your collaboration.
    Regards,
    Jeysi Ascanio

    We're using 0FI_GL_20 to read directly from FAGLFLEXT into SEM-BCS via a BI remote cube.  There are some basic transformations in BI to "populate" the remote cube, then a standard Load from Data Stream in BCS to do final mappings.  In the BCS workbench, just create a source data basis off the remote cube.
    This works at my current project due to fairly low ECC data volumes.  If you are doing any complex mapping on the Company or Fiscal Year / Period infoobjects, you may need to create a inverse mapping routine in the remote cube to transfer selection criteria.  If you see messages in the monitor following a data load such as "xx,xxx of xxx,xxx records ignored", that means that you are reading too much data from ECC and it is only getting filtered on the BCS side.  We had this problem with a custom extractor and adding an inverse mapping routine cut the load from ~5min to 30sec.  (Basically, the custom, template-delivered, extractor only had 0FISCPER, not 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR, so we would read all 17 K4 periods into BI, map them into BCS, then BCS would throw out the unneeded periods.  Unfortunately, we did not have the option to change the extractor, so this was the best approach.).
    If I had large data volumes, I would use a regular BI basic cube for staging (or possibly a multi-cube with a mix of basic and realtime, depending on the load requirements to BCS).
    If you use 0FI_GL_20, I would strongly recommend you implement OSS Note 1245822, or be on SAP_APPL 603.0002 or later.
    Hope that helps,
    - Chris

  • Transactional data for SEM-BCS

    Dear experts!
    We are working in a SEM-BCS project and wonder which is the best solution to load data from FI-GL into BCS.
    As far as I know there are two possibilities to do this:
    .) extract form RFBILA00 and then use the flexible upload method
    .) load the data into a FI-GL-cube in BW and then use the read from data stream method
    Does anybody have experience with these two variants and know about the advantages/disadvantages?
    Does it make a difference if you use new or old general ledger (concerning the load scenario)?
    For me the load from the info cube looks more elegant, but the sap help documentation describes only the RFBILA00-extract (if you look for integration with other SAP systems).
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Best regards
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    - Abt. RFBILA00 - I tried to use it but refused. Maybe I wasn't lucky enough, but I couldn't get partners.
    - Abt extraction to BW - try to use 0SEM_BCS_10.
    - I also used to activate extraction total records to GLT3 and then using the generic datasource extracted it in BW.
    - There are many ways for extacting data in BW. I even saw such a decision where the whole huge BSEG table was used.
    A work with new GL, IMHI, is preferable for BCS consolidation since there are some features that make a life a bit easier (it's easier to setup ERP in order to extract all info needed).

  • Preparation for Consolidation in SEM-BCS.

    Hello All,
    I’m 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), I’m 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 don’t 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 don’t have a group chart of accounts. For what I understand there’s 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 don’t have to do this in ECC, but in BCS customizing?
    I’m 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.

  • FI-GL Activating for Consolidation 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?
    I need following InfoObjects in the BI Content: how to?
    these InfoObjects are not containend in the standard FI-GL Business Content...or do you know other possibilities for getting FI-GL data in BW and ready for consolidation in BCS?

    Hi MP M,
    Hi Install all the components related to that flow.I mean Datasource,Transfer rules,Infosource,Update rules,Cube.Then nothing is missing in this flow which are in BI Content.
    For the Info objects not in the flow
    Search them individually from the BI Content and Install them.Later you map them respective fields in the transfer rules manually.Then maintain update rules to them.
    Hope this helps

  • Total Transfer between paralel consolidation groups

    Hello Gurus!
    We are using SEM-BCS for legal consolidation of our consolidation hierarchy. The hierarchy stands as shown below in 04.2014:
    CG00
         CU000
          CG20
              CU005
              CU001
         CG01
              CG19
                   CU018
         CG02
         CG03
    In period 04.2014, we have to make a transfer of one consolidation unit (CU001) from consolidation group CG19 to CG20.
    In consolidation group CG19 in 03.2014, company CU001 is hold at 100% by consolidation unit CU018.
    In consolidation group CG20 in 04.2014, company CU001 is transferred to this consolidation group, as well as the participation (100% of the shares) from company CU018 to company CU005.
    The holding of the hierarchy is CU000 in CG00.
    To execute the transfer, we created organizational change company and organizational change number in the master data tab. Afterwards, company CU001 was changed from consolidation group CG19 to CG20. In the company CU001 we set the mark for first consolidation with organizational change and indicated the ID of the organizational change.
    After this definitions in the master data tab, we executed the task for consolidation group changes, obtaining the following result:
    Balance sheet items were correctly posted in group CG20, as this the destination group of the transfer. But on the other hand, the elimination from the previous consolidation group (CG19) is being wrongly executed, as the elimination is being executed in consolidation group CG00, when this should be posted in CG19.
    Could you help us understand what is being wrongly made, for the post being made in CG00 and not in CG19.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Thank you for your reply Dan.
    Responding to your questions:
    1) The operation wasn't made with indication of divestiture in period 004/2014. However I tried to test it with that indicator (divestiture with OC), and the results weren't diferent from the ones i'm obtain now.
    2) The consolidation group changes were executed.
    3) The whole balance sheet accounts. The consolidation group changes were executed at levels 02, 12 and 22.
