In this step you define the tasks for the consolidation of investments (C/I).

As a rule, you only need to define one task. However, it might be useful to define several tasks in cases where the C/I activities or individual accounting techniques are performed at different times or by different staff members.

For each task you define a sub-set of all available C/I activities and accounting techniques.

Example

Example 1

Assume that your consolidation of investments consolidates one set of consolidation units using the accounting technique 'purchase method,' and the other set using the 'equity method.' The following activities are used: first consolidation, subsequent consolidation, amortization of goodwill, step acquisition, and the distribution of dividends.

In this case you would create a task and assign to it all combinations of the accounting techniques and activities listed.

Example 2

Assume that a particular staff member runs all of the equity method consolidations. In this case you would want to define a separate task for the staff member. To the task you would assign a combination of the accounting technique 'equity method' and the activities to be processed.

You would also define another task for any other accounting techniques.

Standard settings

One C/I task is predefined in the standard SAP system. It includes all activities and all accounting techniques.

Activities

  1. Check the predefined tasks and, if needed, define any additional ones.
  2. To each task assign the combinations of the activities and accounting techniques you want to perform during the consolidation of investments.

Further notes

In the step Define task group, assign the task (or tasks) to the task group for the consolidation monitor.
