Version of Consolidation

Hi all
I want to know wich is the better way to cuztomizing  a hierarchy for a group of company that in legal consolidation have 5 company and in managment consolidation have 6 company.
Is it good have two hierarchies in a version? or have a hierarchie per version or is it necesary have other consolidation area?
Two consolidation (Legal and Mngmet) have the same data collection, the same rules interunit elimination, the same validation only are diferent hierarchy and reports.
thanks for your reply

Hi Lucio,
Two consolidation (Legal and Mngmet) have the same data collection, the same rules interunit elimination, the same validation only are diferent hierarchy and reports.
And I would add - they have the same data sources -- the same and one version is acceptable.
In a version you may have several hierarchies of ConsUnits, regardless of number of units in each. All consolidation operations are run simultaneously for all hierarchies in one go. Only Operations on the level 30 (Consolidation Of Investments and supply chain unrealized profit eliminations) should be executed separately for each hierarchy.

  • One hierarchy in different versions?

    Hi all,
    SAP SEM-BCS question:
    Can I use one consolidation group hierarchy in different consolidation versions? Currently I use separate hierarchy version (although the consolidation group hierarchy is the same) for all my consolidation versions. If yes, how can I do that?
    Example:
    Hierarchy Version 100 -> Consolidation Version 100
    Hierarchy Version 205 -> Consolidation Version 205
    Goal:
    Hierarchy Version 100 -> Consolidation Version 100, 205, 206... = always when consolidation group hierarchy is the same
    Hierarchy Version 300 -> Consolidation Version 300, 301, 302... = new hierarchy version only when consolidation group structure has changed
    Anyone knows?
    Best regards,
    Tom

    Ok, so say if I understand it right,
    I go to Master Data > Versions > Special Versions > Assign to Combinations,
    then I choose my Consolidation Version (my combination), which I want to customize
    next on the right side of the window I choose from Hierarchy Structure a Consolidation Group and with right mouse-click on the "Inherit" picture I choose Explicitly Enter Special Version and in Special Version column I choose my preferred hierarchy version of Consolidation Group hierarchy.
    Am I right?
    Or if I go to Rules in Special Versions menu, I can choose Consolidation Group, 2x click and on the right side of the window I can assign the default Special Version to any new Consolidation Versions (combinations).
    Am I right?
    Thanks for the answer,
    Tom

  • Consolidation entries in Special Ledger

    I'm trying to create a simplified consolidation using Special Purpose Ledger, but I want to make it as error-free as possible. The idea is to have a ledger version containing only the consolidation adjustments, post the adjustments as local documents directly into this version, then run a report that aggregates the base version with the consolidation version, for consolidated financial results. So if I want to make the following consol adjustment as a local document in SPL:
        DR   Sales in Company Code A
        CR   Cost of Sales in Company Code B
    my strong perference would be to post a zero-balanced document, i.e. a cross-company document. But I can't see how to post cross-company directly in SPL because the entry screen assumes only 1 company code. Can cross-company docs be done in SPL, or am I just out to lunch? The fall-back position is to post 2 unbalanced entries in the separate company codes, but that's more prone to error.
    Thanks in advance for any clarification on this,
    Kathryn

    Sorry I never tried document splitting in Special Ledger. My understanding was it should work in the same way as GL accounting.

  • Delete Version

    Can we delete version?
    For example, I already have version=100. Then I test to create version=200. Assign the new version into consolidation frequency. Save it.
    Then I tried to delete the version=200 (right click and then choose "Delete"). When I save the changes , This error appear :
    Loading data target 0BCS_C11 prohibits deletion of master data
    Message no. RSDMD139
    If it is possible to delete the version, How to delete the version=200?

    What "kind of data" did you mean?
    I have no transactional data or master data which are assigned to the version=200
    Is it automatically assigned to version=200 when I create the version?
    How to check whether I have data in version=200 or not?
    Thanks Siva.

  • PUTTING A LOGIC TO SAP QUERY(SQ01)

    Hi experts,
    I want to create a logic in TCode SQ01.For the field EDATE in table EKKO,how to put a logic like( EDATE-3months) and put that ( EDATE-3months) in a new field?
    Please do help me for getting the report asap.
    Regards,
    Aritra

    Thanks for the answer Barry, this is clear.
    But the problem is that all the systems are overwritten with the modified version (Development, Consolidation and Production) and we don't have the original version anywhere, therefore we can't export/import it.
    As the query is a global query (not client dependent), a modification in the query also affects to the other clients.  In this case this  modification has been transported to all systems as well...
    To correct that situation we want to identify the changes done by the user or retrieve the old version.
    One solution would be to create one transport request from an external SAP system, with the same SAP version(ECC 5.0), and transport it to our system.
    Before trying with this solution we want to know if there's any SAP standard tool to retrieve/compare query versions.

  • Retrieve a corrupted standard SAP query (SQ01)

    Hi experts,
    We have an standard query that is giving a dump because an user has modified and transported it to consolidation and production systems.
    I don't know if there's a way to compare versions and retrieve versions.  Right now we have accessed to client 000 and we are analysing if it's feasible to retrieve the  000 version. The query is defined as GLOBAL (client independent) and it's assigned to an standard package /SAPQUERY/FIAQ.
    I'm on the right way or maybe there's another solution that we're not taking into account?
    More ideas would be appreciated.

  • Can we delete a document type?

    Dear All,
    I created a document type supposedly to be used in a One-sided reclassifcation.
    But, i understood that, one-sided reclassification will not post a document.
    (I have configured this long back & i believe that it did not allow me to create the One-sided recalssification task without creating the document type. But, i m not sure of this).
    Now - if i try to delete this document type - system will not allow me.
    It gives an error message as
    If you want to delete Document Type R1, you must first change Cons of Investments C1 so that Document Type R1 is no longer used.
    Note that further uses of Document Type R1 may exist. That is, after you have changed Cons of Investments C1, the system may display yet another usage the next time you attempt the deletion. Hence, make sure you eliminate all uses of Document Type R1.
    In my system there is no C1 in Consolidation of Investments.
    Is this C1 a special version?
    I searched in special versions - but could not make any sense there.
    Any clues on how to go about this?
    Thnaks!
    Kumar
    Edited by: Kumar on Apr 17, 2009 10:14 PM

    Thanks Dan,
    There is no task or method with the name C1.
    Re:"It is suggested you executed a "where used" search on the document type R1 as it may be used in another version".
    Yeah, i did this before.
    Here is what i got:
    Master data Characterisitics: 1 use (this is a folder icon)
       Cons of Investments Charact Values: 1 use (this is a folder icon)
           Characteristic C1 (this is a charcteristic - adjacent to this there is a button to change it)
    When i click the change button, I get a message
    No maintenance screen exists for the object
    Diagnosis
    Using the where-used list, you found a data record that is version-dependent. The data record belongs to special version type Consolidation of Investments and special version 100.
    Procedure
    If you want to display or change the data record in the Workbench, you should check the parameters to see if a version combination belonging to special version type Consolidation of Investments and special version 100 has been specified.
    If this is not the case, change the parameters before you change the data record.
    Re: "If the document type is not assigned to a task in any version it cannot be used and may not need to be deleted".
    But we dont want to keep the unused doc type's  :'(

  • Partial Eliminations

    Hello guys,
    I want to apply eliminations postings based on a percentage, is "Consolidation of investment" the only option to do so ? Is there a way of doing it using simple interunit eliminations ?
    If yes, where (in customizing) should I enter the rate?
    Thank you in advance,
    Best regards,
    Pascal.

    Hi Pascal,
    Actually, it's not a standard functionality.
    But I used to implement very simplified version of consolidation of investments.
    You proper noticed that for elimination of investment and equity in the simpliest cases (no goodwill, no complex movements in Groups) is enough one-sided elimination. All amount on equity accounts were placed on a separate contra-account in capital.
    Then  a special reclass extracted minority interest from this contra-account.
    Percentage was assigned to a new ANI account. Actually it's a real ANI like the sum of all P&L accounts but  outside the P&L hierarchy.

    hello Ravi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm not very clear with your point. you mean we dont need to set time dimension in either row or colomn of the report?  this will automatically aggregate all the value from history time to the date which selected in the CV(current view)?

  • 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 10.0 MS Version - Error when performing consolidation - Error FX-300 nothing extract from Fact - CLCFXTrans

    Dear All,
    In BPC 10.0 Microsoft Version, I am performing consolidation. Running consolidation pckg was successful initially. Suddenly, it fails - giving the following error message:
    Error FX-300 nothing extract from Fact - CLCFXTrans
    I believe the above error happens during currency conversion which happens to the final consolidation process.
    Pls. help to fix this error message.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Peri

    Hi Peri,
    If you have access to back end data base then please check one table that is clcFXTrans_Consolidation (clcFXTrans_model name)
    All currency conversion rule are stored in the table. Actually there are two tables you can check for currency conversion rule.
    1)     clcFXtrans_Consolidation(clcFXtrans_model name)--> store currency conversion rule
    2)     clcFXtransh_Consolidation(clcFXtransh_model name) store rate type
    write a query on that table and check,if nothing is their then validate all rule again.
