Use

In this Customizing activity, you define aggregation variants.

The aggregation variant represents a group of account assignment characteristics, which is to be taken into account when generating postings in the MCA processes. The aim of aggregation is to summarize the posting data by grouping together individual line items.

You define the aggregation variant at process type level in the Customizing activity Maintain Parameters for Process Types.

The system uses the relevant process type for the source account to determine the source and target aggregation.

Note

An exception is made in the MCA process P&L Transformation.

The system uses the process type used in the source account for P&L Transformation to determine the source aggregation. For target aggregation, the following applies:

  • For postings to position accounts and equivalent value accounts, the system uses the aggregation variant of the corresponding MCA position type.
  • For postings to source and target accounts, the system uses the process type used in the source account for P&L Transformation to determine the aggregation variant.

Requirements

To assign the Source Aggregation Variant and Target Aggregation Variant to process types, choose Maintain Parameters for Process Types.

The source aggregation controls the selection of the balance and line items to be processed.

The target aggregation groups the line items generated in the MCA process according to the aggregation fields stored for the postings.

If you have not stored any aggregation variants, the system retains all of the existing account assignment characteristics in the starting documents/balances.
