In this step you can specify whether realtime update will be used to transfer company data from your SAP system into Consolidation. If you want to use this procedure, you need to make appropriate settings in the system.
In realtime update, individual business transactions relating to the general ledger are updated in parallel in the totals records of the Consolidation database. A precondition is that both the sender and receiver of data (that is the parent and subsidiaries) work in the same R/3 System and client.
Update takes place in your R/3 System in those company codes to which at least one company is assigned. Data is updated in all standard consolidation processing ledgers and, where applicable, all standard business area consolidation ledgers.
The standard SAP system is delivered with ledger 10 preset for company consolidation and ledger 1A for business area consolidation, with ledger currency USD. If several other standard consolidation processing/business area consolidation ledgers exist, you can limit the update to one ledger for each consolidation type.
The posting transactions and field transfers to be performed (transferral of sender fields to receiver fields) are prescribed for the update of standard ledgers. If required, you may copy the following additional account assignments to Consolidation, in addition to the prescribed field transfers:
- functional area
- business area
- customer country
- cost center
- general ledger account
The consolidation transaction type field and the three additional fields are available as receiver fields in Consolidation.
Please note
- As soon as you save the realtime update settings, updating is active.
- To enable trading partners to be automatically assigned when group-internal transactions are posted, you need to enter the company IDs in the customer and vendor master records, and also in certain general ledger account master records. To do this, perform the steps in the chapter Company Consolidation -> Master Data Assignments before you activate realtime updating.
- Before data for the current financial year can be updated, you need to have created an intial data set in the consolidation processing ledger. This set should contain the required additional account assignments. To create the initial data set, perform the steps in the chapter Tools for Creating the Initial Data Set.
- Data transfer always takes place in consolidation version 001. When using this transfer procedure, it is therefore advisable to perform consolidation using this consolidation version. If you wish to consolidate in other versions, you should copy data from consolidation version 001 into the required version.
Requirements
- In order to update company data in the consolidation processing ledger, you need to perform the step Assign company code to company in the "Enterprise Structure" Implementation Guide.
- In order to update business area data in the business area consolidation ledger, you also need to perform:
- the step Assign business area to consolidation business area in the "Enterprise Structure" Implementation Guide.
- the steps Activate business area balance sheets and Assign company/cons.business area to consolidation unit in the "Preparations for Consolidation" Implementation Guide, section "Business Area Consolidation".
Activities
- Select realtime update as the transfer procedure.
- Choose Goto -> Ledger or click on the corresponding pushbutton, enter the consolidation processing ledger and, if necessary, the business area consolidation ledger. This entry is for the purpose of information, and also ensures that if several standard consoldiation processing ledgers and/or business area consolidation ledgers exists, you can limit realtime update to the specified ledgers by making specifications in the "Actual detail" function (see activity no.3).
- Under Goto -> Actual detail, or by clicking on the corresonding pushbutton you have the option of two specifications for realtime update:
- Update into the specified ledger only
- By flagging this field you limit update to those ledgers which you specified as consolidation processing ledgers (and in some cases business area consolidation ledgers) in the previous point.
- Posting of additional account assignments
- You can specify up to five sender fields in Financial Accounting which you want to copy to Consolidation as additional account assignments. Select which additional account assignment should be imported into which receiver field in Consolidation.
- When you limit transfer to an FS item set, the fields will only be transferred if the corporate account assigned to the general ledger account is contained in the FS item set. Please note that you must limit the field transfer to one FS item set to insure that no incorrect assignments are made to other items. For example, the additional account assignment customer country is usually only required for sales revenue items, and should not be assigned to other items.
Note on transports
You cannot transport settings controlling the scope of consolidation and data transfer. You therefore need to make these settings in each client in each system.
Further notes
If you require further field transfers in addition to the field transfer options preset in the standard SAP system, you can use a flexible ledger for consolidation, instead of the standard consolidation processing ledger. You can define flexible ledgers in the application FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger). Please note the following:
- You need to create the ledger for table FILCT.
- You need to assign the posting transactions and field transfer rules.
By assigning field transfer rules, you can determine which fields you want transferred when posting to the ledger and which fields in the ledger are receiver fields.
You maintain flexible ledgers in the Special Purpose Ledger Implementaion Guide in the chapter Basic Settings -> Master Data.
