In Customizing step Add Characteristics you can extend the consolidation data structure with socalled custom characteristics. For example, you can define characteristics that are assigned as attributes to the characteristic consolidation unit. Then the system automatically assigns the attribute to the characteristics partner unit and investee unit.

In this step you define the characteristic values for the custom attributes.

Example

You could define the characteristic consolidation unit type and assign it as an attribute to the characteristic consolidation unit. You could then enter the following characteristic values:

  • CU Type    Description    Long Text
  • 01     Production     Production firm
  • 02     Sales     Sales firm
  • 03     Services     Services firm
  • 04     Finance     Financial institution

Activities

Define the characteristic values for the custom attributes of the consolidation unit.

If the characteristic already exists and was just added as a new characteristic, the system shows a list of the components that feature a maintenance program for the characteristic values. In this list you can go to the respective Customizing activities. In order to maintain the characteristic values, you need to have the respective authorizations for maintaining master data in these components.

Further notes

For every custom attribute which you have created with a new check table, you can load the values into the system via flexible upload. In screen Select Custom Characteristics for Value Maintenance choose the menu entry Characteristic-> Flexible Upload. You can define the upload methods via the menu entry Environment -> Upload Methods.
