Total Divestiture_Consolidation of Investment-BCS

Hi Experts,
I need help on the following:
Appropriation of Retained Earnings:  Would like to understand the Business Circumstances under which, this is to be enabled under System Utilization. Also when do we make configuration settings under Group Adjustments and Minority Adjustments Tab page.
Calculation Base: We have included Consolidation Entries under Calculation Base but we are not sure. Could you please explain !
Divestiture: Under Selected Items > Divestiture > Expense, Minority Interest, what FS items do we have to mention and what is the purpose of it?
We have assigned B/S Offsetting Account under Master Data > Items > Selected Item > Clearing Balance Sheet. When we execute Check Settings under consolidaton of Investment or Execute C/I task under Consolidation Monitor, Systme is showing and asking to assign the above items under Equity and Minority Interest. So now we have assigned it under Equity > Statistical Equity. Is it correct or we have missed something somewhere.
Will be very helpful if you can give me some tips on these.
Thanks again.
Warm Regards,
USR

Annual adjustment of investment income. Investment income will roll up to Retainedearnings.
I have a question: Which chart of account is in your Consolidation cube? Is this Consolidation chart of account (0CS_chart) or FI chart of account (0CHRT_ACCTS)?
Thanks

  • Total Divestiture_Consoli of Investment-SEM-BCS

    Hi Experts,
    When I carry out total divestiture the Subsidiaries balance is not getting reveresed. Only Goodwill and Minority Interest item is reversed but the subsidiaries data remains in the system.
    I am using additional financial data for Investments and Equity. Reported data are uploaded thru flexi upload.
    Please suggest !

    Hi Halim,
    For example I have divested the above company in the period 6 at Begining of the period. So loigically, there will not be any more trial balance from that subsididary. And the consolidation entries have been nullified. However, when i select the range from period 03 to 06 in the Total Records, it shows the balance in the G/L uploaded thru Flexiupload in the period 03. If I select total records for period 06 only, then too there is balance in G/W and MI passed thru Divestiture Activity as the original G/W and MI is in the period 03.
    Also, when I am doing divestiture at the end of the period, I will be uploading TB of subsidiaries, hence there would be balance in G/L other than GW and MI in the current period as well.
    Please suggest,

  • Standard R3 report in SAP BW

    Dear all,
    I need to design the standard R3 report T code: S_ALR_87012284 financial statements in SAP BW in a bit customized way.
    I am bit confused about which base tables are being used in the report .  Would any body suggest on this ?
    Also this standard report, isnt  it a cumulative one? that is it always shows total of all reporting fiscals?
    Are the reporting fiscals = 16 in  this report.
    Requirement is to design the report  for each fiscal period.
    I have used  0fi_gl_1  extractor but I am not able to get the desired result. i thought base table should be GLT0.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    SAP R/3 report for Financial Profitability Statements can be Prepared on Virtual Info cube inside BW system.this report is giving you information about total income ,total expenditure, total profit/loss,investment,sales incomes etc...
    BW Objects:
    The cube name -
    0FIGL_V10 : Virtual info cube- G/L (New): Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss
    To get the data in virtual info cube you have to activate and load another
    info cube :
    0FIGL_C10 - General Ledger (New): Transaction Figures
    Data source Name: 0FI_GL_10- General Ledger: Leading Ledger Balances.
    ECC:
    you can use the T-Code as you mentioned or Also you can use - F.01 to see the finance statements./Also OB58.
    Reporting periods - you can select from 1 to 12 or 1 to 16. Because 4 special periods are there in one assessment Year. Also you have to fill financial statement version compulsorily.
    Go through this link: you can get information about base tables:

  • Latest Apple TV Kills entire network connection

    I was super excited to purchase my first Apple TV, until I hooked it up. I have found if I use it wirelessly, it will kill my entire network within a short amount of time. 10-15mins. After that time, no computer can access anything on the internet, and the Apple TV will not find the library again after I finish watching whatever was playing. But, everything runs smoothly until that point. It finds the library, internet access through ATV is fine, remote app on my iPhone works fine, it's beautiful! …for a short time.
    Through troubleshooting that issue, I found if I connect via ethernet, it will not find my iTunes library at all, but it will connect to the internet just fine. ????
    I've found a few random things on the web related to this, but they are all in reference to old ATV models, and I cannot seem to come across any posts mentioning my exact problem. So far, I've tried doing the following on both wired and wireless connections:
    -made sure my Linksys router has the latest firmware version available
    -tried increasing the client lease times on the router to roughly 1 week.
    -tried manually configuring the ATV IP to maintain a static address, but it still kills the entire network when running wireless, and will not find the library when wired in.
    I've never had problems with my network before; it's been running smoothly for 5 years. I've also been streaming Netflix to my LG Tv for about a year now with no issues. I am totally happy to invest $99 in an ATV-love the concept, love the convenience. But if Apple has something going on where it will only work with an airport extreme, I am not happy with investing $278 in an apple tv when my current wireless setup works just fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or how this can be resolved? I really do love the idea of having access to my media wirelessly, and would hate to have to return the ATV.
    Tech details:
    Latest little ATV model, library hosted on a mid 2011 MBPro Core i7 running OS 10.6.8 with latest iTunes version. My library has about 65gigs of music and about the same in movies. We have that MacBook and 1 PC runing on the network. I am using this Linksys router: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/wrt54G
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    Very similar situation here. My ATV3 is connected via WiFi, but it loses its network connection if the following two conditions are met: it sleeps, and my Aiport base station is turned off any time afer the ATV sleeps. When I power up the Airport again, the ATV does not find my network without either restarting or selecting the network manually from a list of nearby networks.
    In other words, sleep is OK only if the network is never powered off.

  • Diff.Between Class.GL and NewGL

    We are implementing BCS 6.0 based on Old GL ( Class.GL) Suppose in future we migrated to New GL, what is the impact on BCS?
    Do we need to re-implement BCS ?
    Thank you very in advance.
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    The following is an architecture of BCS implementations I use:
    - ERP (or other source systems)
    I
    - BW layer with
    -- cube for extracting data from ERP
    -- intermediate cube
    -- BCS totals cube
    I
    - SEM-BCS system.
    In update rules of intermediate cube I perform data transformation (adding analytical characteristics, transformation of key figure model (debit - credit - balance) into account model (item - movement type), mapping of accounts (from flat chart of accounts in ERP to multidimensional in BCS), etc.).
    This cube will be used for reading data from datastream in BCS. For better performance this cube is made as much similar to BCS totals cube as possible.
    So, if you have the same architecture, you'll just modify extractors and, probably, the structure of the 1st cube, and probably, update rules in the 2nd one (intermediate).
    All the rest (including ALL settings in SEM-BCS) is going to left intact.
    If the architecture is different -- everything will be dependent on it.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    I want to manage the activity total divestiture (N°11)
    When I executed the task COI, the system for items and balance is correct but for the transaction type is incorrect.
    Indeed, for the company who sells the investment , the system uses the OPENING FLOW (001 - F00) !
    Do you now how to manage this correction in order to have the divestiture flow ?
    NB : I don't see the SAP notes for this correction
    Thanks by advance
    Bastien

    FYI
    I applied the sap notes 1742121 and 134940
    The transaction type is correct for earning item
    But for investment item , we have already the opening transaction type!
    Reminder opening  code

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Termination in C/I SEM BCS

    Hi All,
    I'm now totally stopped by a short dump when I execute the test run f consolidation of investment.
    The shortdump indicates that the dynamic component declaration of S_CHAR-/BIC/ZBUS_INBA is invalid.
    Note that the characteristic ZBUS_INBA (it's a investee unit for business area, which is not available in the standard SAP) is a customised characteristic with reference to OBUS_AREA, and it's inserted to BCS cube with the mapping role "investee unit".
    Does anyone ever face this kind or similar error in BCS?
    Anyone please advise...please...
    regards,
    Halim

    I'll try to describe the situation:
    The consolidation is using combination of company and business area.
    The data entry method is using the load from datastream, flexible upload as well as online data entry.
    Now, the data entry method, validation, currency translation, standardising entries, inter unit elimination, consolidation manual entries have been tested, and the result is correct.
    Now this beginning of the case:
    In order to run C/I, I have to fill in AFD (since I set the location of value for investment and investee is coming from AFD). In order to do this, I need a characteristic representing the investee unit for business area (actually this is not needed, since the business area do not use C/I in our scenario).
    But since according to one reference, I need to set 1 business area as the investee unit eventhough it's not going tobe used in C/I.
    Then I create one characteristic in BW, in reference with 0BUS_AREA), insert the characteristic in BCS cube, and assign the characteristic to "investee unit" role in databasis.
    After that, I run C/I, and the error comes out.
    I considered your first opinion regarding the wrong using of 0BUS_AREA is supposed to be the correct one. The reason for this is because if I use the reference, then the new characteristic will refer to the original characteristic (which is 0BUS_AREA) in order to get the mapping role. This is wrong since the role of 0BUS_AREA is not "investee unit" in standard SAP. And when I assign the new characteristic to role "investee unit" in databasis, the system off course will issue an error message because the characteristic read the role in data basis as "investee unit" and also read the role in source characteristic not as "investee unit".
    So today, I tried to replace the ZBUS_INBA with a new characteristic (which is ZBUS_INB2), not in reference with 0BUS_AREA, but as template with 0BUS_AREA.
    Another error appears when I activate the databasis, saying that the basic setting for ZBUS_INB2 is not consistent with the role consolidation unit.
    I am not sure whether my analyses is correct or not, but I think the source of error really comes from this role mapping.
    So Eugene, what is your opinion? Anyone can suggest on how to resolve this issue?
    regards,
    Halim

  • COI Investment data reading

    if the AFD Investment data has to be read thru 'Totals' tables does it require that all ECC entry for investment need to have the Percentage of investment, Investee fields to be filled in? Can the system read the 'ECC Investment data' with out these fields?
    Is there any other way to populate these fields when reaching from ECC to BI/BCS?
    Is there any other additional fields to be captured in ECC for Investment entries other than above two fields?

    Hi Eugene,
    I really need your advice on my AFD things. Hope you can help
    Now my Location Values of AFD are as follows:
    Read Investment Data From : Additional Financial Data
    Read Equity Data From : Additional Financial Data
    Read Equity Holdings Adjs From : Additional Financial Data
    The user is only performed "Impairment Test" for the goodwill.
    So I only select : "Extraordinary Amortization of Goodwill & Extraordinary Amortization of Negative Goodwill" per method.
    My question is, for first consolidation, what should I put in AFD manual data entry as first step to record investment, equity & the goodwill? Will the system calculate the goodwill automatically or we need to manually entered journal entry for impairment test?
    Providing that the holding company owns 73% of its subsidiary.
    Thanks a bunch

  • Investment data

    In the COI if the investment data has to be read from 'Totals cube'..( that is if the investment data has to be read , what ever is entered in ECC)..then does the ECC entries has to contain the field 'Activity' to inform the BCS whether it is 'First consolidaiton' or increase/decrease in capilization etc.
    My doubts is since the AFD entries clearly inform the BCS COI functions , if the data relates to what kind of activity is this..should the ECC entries also indicates the same. ( this is incase if the COI Investment data will be read only from 'Totals cube'}
    Please let me know your experience.

    Certainly, the data basis, in the investment datastream contains 'Activity' field. However, AFAIK, the system may determine the activity indirectly. -- Remember that Location of values/Investments tab? There every CoI activity might be  distinguished by the item and MoveType. So, encountering the configured here item/MT in the incoming data, the system should recognized the type of activity.

  • Bcs transport

    Hi,
    I understand that transport process for SEM BCS is divided into 2 category which is BW request( workbench) and BCS request(customizing).
    For total records infocube, document infocube, goodwill data infocube, equity data infocube, investment data infocube and all other generated infocube should we transport it manually through bw request(workbench) or it will be transported automatically when we transport data basis in bcs through bcs request(customizing)?
    Need your advice.
    Points will be awarded.
    Regards,
    Shahrul

    Hi,
    Thanks for the input.
    Sekar,
    You said you transport all those infoproviders first before transporting the bcs configuration.
    Is this means that you transport all the virtual cubes also before transporting the bcs configuration?
    Hi Eugene,
    Referring to your previous posting :
    "I usually transport the BCS setting in a little transport requests in this order:
        * all BW objects and settings
        * data basis (with source DB)
        * cons area
        * special versions
        * versions
        * master data"
    for "all BW objects and settings" , is this include all the virtual cubes and generated objects?
    Thanks a lot guys.. Appreciate your inputs.

  • 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.

  • Total transfer of equity consolidated unit using organizational change

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where we are doing total transfer of an equity consolidated unit (100% owned) from one company(old parent) to another (new parent)
    The new parent is one level above the old parent in the hierarchy.
    We've used organizational change logic and have set the divestiture dates/flag in the sender consolidation group and accordingly first consolidation dates/flag/OC number in the receiver consolidation group.
    The investment AFD is submitted with "total transfer" with OC number.
    There are multiple scopes of reported data for equity method in our configuration.
    Each scope(equity pickup) is inturn created by reclassifying several equity accounts to a single BCS only item(the scope item)
    When we run COI, the system posts one total divestiture document at the old conso group (where old parent is situtated) and posts a first consolidation, total divestiture, total transfer documents  at the new conso group level (which is one level above the sender conso group)
    The total divestiture document at upper level is reversing the divestiture document posted at old parent.
    The first consolidation document jas only statistical items posted in it.
    The real document to check is the "Totals transfer document" which actually reads the investment (at old parent and new parent) , the equity holdings adjustment data(the scope items) and adjusts the investment in subs at new parent with offset going to divestiture account but of double the value than the expected scope vlaue.
    Issues faced:
    Q1. Consolidation group change tasks (at PL02, 12, 22) are not posting any documents. Is there an issue? Since I am using these tasks for the first time and dont know if this is possible.
    Q2. The total transfer document is reading the equity holdings data as double the expected value( for each of the scopes of equity method). What could be the possible reason? How to fix this?
    Q3. I would appreciate if someone can clarify what kind of postings the system makes as part of divestiture/transfer in case of equity consolidated unit transfer.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    AJ

    Thanks Dan.
    Appreciate if you can help on the below points as well.
    1. As part of divestiture/transfer postings: The system is reversing some Previous Year(PY) equity accounts into themselves. How can we get the system to eliminate them by posting to COI Clearing account. Basically, we dont want the PY accounts to be touched?
    For the Retained earnings - PY account, the system is actually posting to COI clearing account.
    These PY accounts are part of some scopes for equitization.
    Is there any link between the "balance carry forward" - list of items table and the divestiture postings?
    Does the system check this table while posting/reversing the equity(PY) accounts?
    2. I want to understand the sequence in which the system posts the documents at the old parent and new parent (group) level.
    The same activity number is there  for Total Divestiture, total transfer documents posted at new parent level and total divestiture document posted at old parent level.
    Does the system follow bottom up approach? Thereby creating total divestiture document at old parent level.
    Followed by documents at upper level (new parent level)
    Also , at the upper level(new parent level), does it post documents in the way they are shown in the log? (We havent changed the default sequence maintained in UCWB - COI settings). so it will post first consolidation doc, followed by total divestiture, followed by total transfer docs at the new parent level?
    Is this the reason for the double value being posted at new parent for equity holding data?
    Will studying the statistical items (corresponding to eliminated equity holding items) be relevant here to understand why at upper level there is double the value being posted by system?
    Thanks.
