Automatic creation
In this step, the system creates consolidation units and groups from the organizational units in General Ledger Accounting and Profit Center Accounting. Afterwards, you must manually maintain the master data records of the units and groups.
The system makes a distinction between the following types of integrated consolidation:
- In company consolidations, the units are derived from companies. A group is created for the companies.
- In business area consolidations, the units are created from combinations of companies and consolidation business areas. Two hierarchies can be built with the units: one hierarchy with the companies as the consolidation groups, and another hierarchy with the business areas as the groups.
- In profit center consolidation, the units are created from combinations of companies and profit centers. Hierarchies can be created either with companies as groups or with profit centers as groups.
Subsequent integration
After organizational units have been automatically converted into consolidation units and groups, any units that are subsequently created in the transaction system must subsequently be maintained in the Consolidation application.
Activities
Automatic creation
- In the hierarchy, mark the insertion point and choose Automatic Creation and - depending on the consolidation type - choose either Companies, Business areas or Profit centers.
- Maintain the master data manually. For integration, especially make sure that you maintain the following data:
- Any ledgers in which the organizational unit is to be kept
- During the automatic creation, the system assigns each consolidation unit to the ledger that is set in the global parameters. If you want to use additional ledgers, you need to assign these manually.
- The fiscal year variant
- Note: If you are using a central system which contains both the sender and receiver for the consolidation data, when saving the data transfer (IMG step Activate Data Transfer) you can choose an option to make the system assign the fiscal year variant of consolidation to all ledgers that are assigned to integrated consolidation units of active consolidation types.
- The local currency
- The data transfer method
- Note: If the sender and receiver of consolidation data reside in the same central system, the system automatically enters the data transfer method in the master data of the relevant consolidation units when you save your settings for data transfer (in the step Define data transfer). The method is saved for the relevant special version of data entry.
A mass changes function is also available for subsequent maintenance of master data.
Maintain data in the sections Consolidation Groups and Consolidation Units.
Subsequent integration
- Manually create the consolidation units and groups that represent organizational units in the transaction systems. Enter the IDs and names in accordance with the ID combination rules for automatically creating units and groups.
You can use enhancement FMC10010 to determine IDs and names, and then create the appropriate units and groups.
- In the menu, choose Organizational unit -> Subsequent integration. Enter the dimension, and restrict integration to certain consolidation units and groups if necessary. Enter the type of consolidation for which you want to subsequently integrate organizational units. In the case of profit center consolidation, enter the controlling area.
- The system generates a list of integrated and non-integrated consolidation units and groups, in which the IDs of organizational units in the transaction system are assigned to the consolidation units and groups requiring integration. The system determines these IDs from the ID combination rules and/or the customer enhancement.
A status shows you whether each ID actually exists in the system. If IDs are assigned incorrectly, in other words if an ID does not exist in the system, you can change the ID within the list.
Note that Consolidation application can only check whether profit centers which it recognizes exist. Therefore, if you specify a controlling area that the system does not recognize, no check will take place.
- From the list of error-free and corrected ID assignments, select the consolidation units and groups that you want to integrate, and save them. When you save, the system checks once again whether the organizational units exist.
