Definition

The characteristic "totals consolidation group" is any combination of consolidation groups and consolidation units to be used for reporting purposes.

The characteristics "totals consolidation group" and "consolidation group" are distinguished when one consolidation group (e.g., upper-level CG) contains at least one other consolidation group (e.g., lower-level CG).

  • When you define a report with the selection criterion totals consolidation group = upper-level CG, then the total value for the upper-level consolidation group is displayed including all of the groups belonging to it, hence, also including the values for the lower-level CG.
  • When you define a report with the selection criterion consolidation group = upper-level CG, then only the value of the upper-level consolidation group is displayed, which represents a delta value (total value for the upper-level CG less the total values of all CGs belonging to the upper-level CG).

Example

Say, the annual net income for the upper-level consolidation group equals 1000, 200 of which is allotted to the lower-level CG, and the remainder to the upper-level CG itself.

  • If you define a report that shows the annual net income for the totals consolidation group "upper-level CG", this report displays the value 1000.
  • If you define a report that shows the annual net income for the consolidation group "upper-level CG", this report displays the value 800.

Further notes

Use the characteristic "totals consolidation group" whenever you want to create a selection condition for consolidation groups in a form or a report.

Use the characteristic "consolidation group" if you want the report to display a breakdown by consolidation groups in the form of a hierarchy.

Hierarchies of consolidation groups can only be portrayed for the characteristic "consolidation group", and not for the characteristic "totals consolidation group".

When using the characteristics "totals consolidation group" and "consolidation group", also keep in mind the impact of the characteristics reference version, reference fiscal year and reference period.
