Use

When you use integration between Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) and Consolidation, the system automatically defines consolidation units as combinations of profit centers and companies.

However, customers often want to define integrated consolidation units at a higher level to be able to record this data using rollups. At this kind of aggregated level, each integrated consolidation unit then reflects one of the following:

  • a profit center group
  • the combination of a profit center group and a company
  • a profit center

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Tell the system which rules to use for aggregating profit centers when running a rollup. For each profit center you enter the profit center group, in which it is aggregated. Select the indicator if you wish to retain the detail information of the company.

If a profit center is mapped to itself, enter it as the target profit center. In this case, you normally do not need to retain the details per company and, therefore, you do not select the indicator.

To ensure that the rollup correctly converts the assigned organizational units (company code/company and profit center) to the aggregated consolidation and partner units, you need to store and equip the appropriate client-dependent (user) exits in the field groupings. For derivation, Exit CC6 is used for consolidation units and Exit CC8 is used for partner units. You insert the logic for determining the aggregated consolidation units in these exits.

Program RGLVU000, as delivered, already contains implementation templates for both exits, which you can simply adapt for your individual requirements if necessary. The actual determination of the aggregated consolidation is performed in routine AGGREGATE_CU_GET, which is already implemented in program RGLVU000. Among other things, this routine evaluates the aggregation rules stored in this implementation step. If no aggregation is defined for a given profit center, the consolidation unit and partner unit are derived in the corresponding standard exits.

Note the following: If you need a naming convention that deviates from the rules for ID combination, you must define this in Exit 100 in SAP Enhancement FMC10010. For more detail, see the documentation for the enhancement and/or exit.

Example

The following example should explain the individual steps.

Assume that the standard hierarchy of profit centers PC10000 is assigned to controlling area CA01. It has the following structure:

PC10000

__10100

____10110

______101101

______101102

____10120

______101201

______101202

______101203

____10130

______101301

The units 10100, 10110, 10120 and 10130 reflect profit center groups, and 101101, 101102, 101201, 101202, 101203 and 101301 reflect profit centers. Further, controlling area CA01 contains the two company codes CC01 and CC02, to which the companies C01 and C02 have been assigned. Assume that both company codes are assigned to each profit center.

An aggregation needs to be made for management consolidation. You would define these aggregation rules as follows:

  • Profit centers 101101 and 101102 do not require the company details; that is, they are used to create the consolidation units.

    You enter the profit centers 101101 and 101102 as the target profit centers. You do not select the indicator for company details.

  • Profit centers 101201, 101202 and 101203 are to aggregated at profit center group 10120, which hence reflects a consolidation unit.

    You specify 10120 as the target profit center group for the profit centers 101201, 101202 and 101203; and you do not select the indicator.

  • Profit center 101301 is to be aggregated at profit center group 10130, and in this case the company details are to be retained.

    You define the profit center group 10130 as the aggregation target for profit center 101301, and you select the indicator.
