In this step, you define one or more standard ledgers for Consolidation.
You need multiple ledgers if you consolidate consolidation groups in different currencies, since each ledger can be managed in one ledger currency only. This currency must be identical to the group currency.
Example
If you want to consolidate one consolidation group in USD, and another in DEM, you need one ledger with ledger currency USD and one with ledger currency DEM.
Standard settings
The ledger 1C with currency USD is preset in the standard system. You use this ledger as a template for creating your own ledger. Do not use 1C for consolidation.
Activities
- Make a list of currencies in which you manage your consolidation groups.
- Create a ledger for each of your group currencies.
- Specify the valuation of the ledger. You can choose between legal, group, and profit center valuation. Legal valuation is most commonly used. You only need a different valuation if you are integrating Consolidation with a transaction application. Note that only currencies with the same valuation as the ledger can be transferred into the consolidation processing ledger, and, more specifically:
- For realtime update, the data is posted to the ledger that has the same valuation as the currency concerned.
- Rollups can only take place between ledgers that use the same valuation. Currency determination therefore only reads values with this valuation.
- Periodic extracts select values from the consolidation staging ledger (ledger 09). This ledger has a legal valuation. If you use periodic extract as a data transfer method, the consolidation processing ledger must also have a legal valuation.
- Make the following settings:
- Determine whether it will be possible to do realtime updates from the General Ledger system.
- Specify whether it will be possible to roll up data from other ledgers.
- Specify whether line items (journal entries) will be managed in the ledger. The Write line items indicator refers to journal entries from realtime updating. You should therefore only set this indicator if you use this data transfer method.
- Bear in mind the advantages and disadvantages of setting this indicator Journal entries can be helpful if you need to subsequently post FI data. The system recognizes from the journal entries which documents have already been posted to the consolidation processing ledger. However, journal entries generate a large volume of data, since each document that is created in General Ledger Accounting is created in parallel in the consolidation processing ledger.
- Specify whether the ledger will be productive. Note that you cannot delete transaction data from a ledger marked as productive.
- As the second currency, select the currency of the consolidation unit. As the third currency, select the group currency or the ledger currency; if you select the ledger currency, also specify the currency key.
