The postings in the consolidation of investments (C/I) to a great degree depend on the sequence that the system uses to process the entered C/I activities.

The sequence is determined by:

  • the sequence of the activities among themselves
  • the sequence in which the consolidation units within the hierarchy are processed

In this step you can define the default sequence of the activities, and select one activity for the "up to here" threshold.

The overall sequence of activities is achieved as follows:

  1. The system determines the ownership (or investment) hierarchy of consolidation units from the additional financial data concerning the changes in investments.
  2. For each consolidation unit the system sorts the activities by the default activity sequence.
  3. The system then merges the investment hierarchy of consolidation units with the default sequence of activities, thus creating the overall sequence as follows:
    1. First, each hierarchy level is processed, one by one, from the top level to the lowest level.
    2. Within each hierarchy level, the consolidation units are processed in alphanumeric order.
    3. For each consolidation unit, the system processes the first portion of activities up to the "up to here" threshold.
    4. Afterwards, the system processes the remaining activities, processing the consolidation units in reverse order.

Example

A consolidation group contains the consolidation units CUTOP, CUMID, CUSUB1 and CUSUB2 with the following investment hierarchy:

  • CUTOP has an investment in CUMID.
  • CUMID has investments in both CUSUB1 and CUSUB2.

You entered the activities:

  • First consolidation
  • Subsequent consolidation
  • Step acquisition
  • Partial divestiture
  • Distribution of dividends

This also represents the default sequence. You chose the activity Step Acquisition as the "Up To Here" threshold.

The system processes these activities as follows:

  1. The activities First consolidation, Subsequent consolidation and Step acquisition are processed for each of the units in the following order:
    1. CUMID
    2. CUSUB1
    3. CUSUB2
  2. Then, the activities Partial divestiture and Distribution of dividends are processed for the same units in reversed order:
    1. CUSUB2
    2. CUSUB1
    3. CUMID

Standard settings

The standard SAP system has a predefined default activity sequence.

Activities

Specify the default sequence of the activities. Choose one activity for the "Up to here" threshold.

Further notes

To refine these sequence settings, you can modify the default sequence by individual consolidation units. Thus, when processing such a unit, instead of using the default activity sequence, the system will process the activities according to the sequence specifically modified for the unit.
