In this step, you maintain consolidation groups and their units within the hierarchy of consolidation groups.

If Consolidation is integrated with General Ledger Accounting or Profit Center Accounting, you must generate the consolidation units and groups from the organizational units used in these transaction applications. See the section 'Copy organizational units.'

Example

The following consolidation hierarchies are conceivable:

  • In a dimension for company consolidation, you could define one hierarchy for consolidation to meet your legal requirements, and another hierarchy for internal consolidation purposes.
  • In a dimension for business area consolidation, you could define a hierarchy with consolidation groups comprised of companies and another hierarchy with consolidation groups comprised of business segments.

Requirements

You have created a dimension in the step Define dimensions.

Activities

  1. Choose the activity Maintain number ranges for sets of cons groups/units

    Create the number range 01 for the object FIMC_SETNR. The system requires this number range in order to allocate set numbers when generating sets (see step 2.f).

  2. Choose Maintain consolidation group hierarchies, and proceed as follows:
    1. To create consolidation group hierarchies, place the cursor on the dimension and choose "Org. unit -> Create".
      2. In the dialog box, enter the name and description of the hierarchy.
      Note: You can create multiple consolidation group hierarchies in a single dimension. Furthermore, a consolidation group can be included in more than one hierarchy. This enables you to structure consolidation groups to meet different requirements within a single dimension.
      By double-clicking on a hierarchy, you can access its master data. If you specified the use of hierarchy levels in the master data, you can assign these levels to the hierarchy. To do this, choose "Goto -> Assign levels".
      Using the "Check" function, you can make sure that you entered a valid name without invalid symbols.
    2. To create a consolidation group, place the cursor on the consolidation group hierarchy or on the upper-level consolidation group in a hierarchy, and choose "Org. unit -> Create".
      3. Enter a name and description for one or more consolidation groups in the dialog box that appears.
      If desired, from the dialog box you can go directly to master data maintenance for the first consolidation group you enter. Your settings in the master data are automatically copied to the other groups in the dialog box.
      Furthermore, you always have the option of accessing master data by double-clicking on an organizational unit.
    3. Create consolidation units for each consolidation group (as described in 2b).
    4. If you have created organizational units in the steps Maintain consolidation groups individually or Maintain consolidation units individually, you can insert entire ranges of the organizational units into the hierarchy. To do this, choose "Org. unit -> Create range".
    5. If you want to change the structure of a hierarchy after you have created groups and units, you can do this by reassigning these organizational units as follows:
      6. Select the groups or units that you want to reassign by choosing "Edit -> Select/deselect".
      Place the cursor at the position to which you want to move the organizational unit(s).
      Choose "Org. unit -> Reassign".
    6. Using the hierarchy information, the system can generate sets of consolidation groups and units for Report Writer reports. To generate these sets, choose "Edit -> Generate".
      7. If you change the hierarchy, the system allows you to regenerate sets.

Note on transport

  • Hierarchy maintenance does not support transports in this R/3 release.
  • In order to transport number ranges (see step 1), choose "Interval -> Transport" in number range maintenance. Your number range objects are automatically transported.
