Source data for Legal and Management Consolidation

Hi,
I'm in ECC5, using BCS 4.0 and BW 3.5.
Our current designed required 2 type consolidation, which is company consolidation and profit centre consolidation. Note that the profit centre consolidation also required balance sheet and profit/loss.
Now, I know that basicly the source of data coming from R/3 is actually the special ledger table FAGLFLEXT. In this table, both company and profit centre shared the same table in order to maintain data consistency.
My question is:
1. Is my understanding about FAGLFLEXT correct?
2. What are the prerequisites steps so that the table FAGLFLEXT can have the profit centre data inside?
Any advise please....
regards,
Halim

Hi Halim,
Yes, you are right.
As a prerequisite, you need to activate new General Ledger Accounting in Customizing for Financial Accounting in the OLTP system:

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

Legal and management consolidation

Hi experts,
Anybody can specify what are all the differences between legal and management consolidation?
What are the tasks that differentiate each one from the other?
Regards.

Hi,
Technically, you can do both in same application. However, it would be advisable to have separate applications. You will need to do lot of intercompany bookings, eliminations. This may increase the amount of data in a single application.
Hope this helps.

BPC v7 for Legal and Tax Consolidation

We need to save data by year using the legal organization structure and currency rates in place in that year. It needs to be saved for at least 11 years for annual report purposes and tax audit purposes. There are over 2000 entities including parents in any one years org structure. Has anyone dealt with large entity hierarchies saved for multiple years? What is the best way to handle a situation like this. I know that in Hypereion Enterprise you can consolidate different years data with different organization structures but I am not sure that BPC can handle this.

SAP BPC's Legal consolidation provides for this very issues. If you can have a look at the IFRS Starter kit for BPC 7.0, it has already the org structure that can change from period to period. The actual hierarchy itself does not change over time, but the way its consolidated is driver by an application called Ownership in which group structures can be defined.
This will allow you to define structures that are impossible to represent in a traditional hierarchy, eg Joint venture owned by a company's two subsidiaries.
In the IFRS Kit, there is documentation describing how consolidation works in this way.
This same functionality is available in both MS and NW version.

Difference Between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation

Dear Experts,
Kindly help me to know
1) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Theoritically?
2) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Technically in BPC?
3) What is impact on /Difference on Business Process Flow in BPC in case of Legal Consolidation or Management Consolidation? (What should be done in Management COnsolidation and Legal COnsolidation in BPF in BPC)
Thanks in Advance
Ritesh

True accounting/legal consolidations encompasses the three following elements:
1. the general ledgers of the entities
2. elimination entries between entities (inter entity transactions such as sales/cost of sales, a/r and a/p etc.)
3. adjustments for partially owned entities
Using the legal app, rate and ownership apps, and the proper configuration, outlooksoft achieves a legal/accounting consolidation. Accounting consolidations also link to a legal hierarchy of entities.
Any consolidation that is referred to as management or financial consolidation etc. can have differing connotations. In Outooksoft software, management consolidations does not include item 3.
However, when the terms are used by the client they can have different meanings. They could mean either :
A true legal consolidation BUT tied to the Management hierarchy of entities (as opposed to a legal hierarchy) OR An aggregation without item 3 above and tied to the Management hierarchy of entities.
9 times out of 10, clients usually want the first rather than the second alternative. Financial statements
rolled up using legal consol should equal that using management consol.
However, when clients do planning, they may have their entities plan as if they were fully owned. They could also have their entities provide actals for less than 100% in the case of partially owned entities. In these cases, you have to adjust appropriately.
From an Outlooksoft config point of view, you need the legal, rate and ownership app and the related configuration for a legal consolidation. Management consol depends on client definition and client practice in the data that they collect from the entities.
In the area of BPFs, the key difference between legal and management COULD be the steps (1-3) and the maintenance of the different hierarchies and ownership values.
Hope the above helps.

Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?

Hi,
Can you guys please share your knowledge for this question
Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?
Thanks,
Charly

This is quite a general question and should not be answered only in context of BPC.
Paraphrasing your question is not really a help.
In general a Legal Consolidation is one whose purpose is to meet statutory requirements [whereever/whatever they are].
For example generating data for Shareholders on an annual basis in Glossy Annual reports.
A managerial consolidation may be similiar in several ways, but focuses on internal factors and may have a different entity structure than that of the Legal structure. Management reports are typically used at the end of any given reporting cycle (actual/budget/forecast etc) and allow 'management' to guage the performance/review the data of their business.
I suggest looking this up on the various financial websites, where you will get better definitions.
Of course in BPC it is possible to do Legal consolidations without 'legal ownership cubes' and this is what many 4.2 customers have done.
In modern BPC i would check the scope of the consolidaton requirements before choosing any 'bpc consolidation methodology'
Raghu's links are also useful in context of BPC.

What is the differences between Legal and Financial Consolidation

Dear Experts,
Can any body explain me what is the differences between Legal Consolidation and Financial Consolidation.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srinivasan.

hi srinivasan.singari
NOT is the same.. legal & management are diferent.
the diference is the master data, while you have for consolidation.
the legal consolidation only take the company code, because the County's legal policies just is interesting in your company, your statements about your company.
The management consolidation take company but take another master data, usually Cost Center or Bussines Area, your client is interesting in the business´s behavior.
So, if you have a legal consolidation you are ok with the legal policies, but if you need more detail, you need management legal.
if you want legal and management, you need settings for a parallella consolidation. or take diferents areas for consolidation.
please check this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7070134c-1b04-2d10-f29d-bbb35abfa119?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&46870978105886
In master data you define company, if you need management consolidation you should add another master data like cost center or bussines area in the subgroup.

There is no source data for this data record, Message FZ205

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem with the DME File download. This problem happened all of sudden in our production system since last month and it was never before. Our system landscape has also not been changed but as per our basis consultant he has added two-three more new application server to the Production client. Even we do not have this problem in our testing clients.
Please note that we have been using the output medium '1' from the day one and thus the system has been generating the DME in 'File System' which we download on the desktop and upload the same to the bank online. After running the payment run when we trying to download the DME File, the system gives the error "There is no source data for this data record, Message FZ205".
I tried to fix this issue through many ways but not able to. So can you please let me know the reason of this error and solution to fix this.
With best regards,
BABA

Hi Shailesh,
Please share how you solved this problem.
Many Thanks,
Lakshmi

Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key.

Why does HTML DB 2.0 return the message
"Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key."
when trying to generate a "Report and Form" page based on a view defined like "create view <applicationschema>.a as select * from <sourceschema>.b" ?
It should be possible for HTML DB to "see" that the table "<sourceschema>.b" already has a primary key.
bw - Christian

Christian,
In the create application wizard, when creating form or tabular form pages, you can only use tables with primary keys, and not views, because that wizard is automatically deriving the primary key from the table definition. If you want to build forms on views or tables without a primary key, you need to use one of the create form wizards while working on an existing application. Those wizards allow you to pick your own column as a primary key column.

Marc

The table for storing data for infocube and ODS

Hi all:
could you please tell me how to find the table for storing data for infocube and ODS?
thank you very much!

Hi Jingying Sony,
To find tables for any infoprvider go to SE11.
In database table field enter the following
Cube -
Has fact table and dimension table
For customized cube - ie cube names not starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BIC/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BIC/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BIC/D<infocubename>
For standard cube - ie cube names starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BI0/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BI0/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BI0/D<infocubename>
Click on display.
For DSO,
For standard DSO active table- /BI0/A<DSO name>00.
You use 40 for new table.
Click on display.
For customized DSO use- /BIC/A<DSO name>00.
An easier way is in the database table field, write the name of the cube/DSO preceeded and followed by ' * ' sign. Then press F4 . It shall give you the names of the available table for that info provider.
Double click on the name and choose display.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.
