Environment Parameters

The following parameters must be set after creating an environment. Most of


them are not required for a consolidation, but are a generic system
requirement for any new environment. In the Administration console, select
Manage All Environments :

Set Template Version => defines


the current version number of the
dynamic templates in your
application set

Change Status = controls


whether the system is offline or
not ; you can also type in the
message displayed to users who
try to access an model that is

Legal Consolidation Model

Purpose of the LEGAL CONSOLIDATION Model:


defines journal template
stores the initial (pre-consolidated) trial balance records
launches balance carry forward processes
ensures data consistency with controls
launches currency conversion and consolidation processes
reporting for pre/post consolidation financial reports

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 7


Legal Consolidation Model - Dimensions

A minimum of 9 dimensions are required for the Legal Consolidation model:

1.C_Account (A) – Chart of accounts


2.Category (C) - Typical categories would be Budget, Actual, Forecast
3.AuditTrail (D) - Tracks the source of data (input, journal adjustments, eliminations…)
4.Flow (S) - identifies balance sheet movements (opening, additions, decreases, transfers
… and ending balances)
5.RptCurrency (R) - Identifies Transaction Currency and Local Currency.
6.Scope(G) - Consolidation groups / scopes
7.Entity (E)
8.Interco (I) - Provides partner information for intercompany eliminations
9.Time (T)

Note : Dimensions names are not mandatory

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 8


Rates Model - Dimensions

The RATES model contains currency exchange rates. A minimum of 5 dimensions are
required for a Rate-Type model :
1.R_Account (A): This details the different types of rate (Average, End-of-Period, Historical,
etc.)
2.R_Entity(E): This stores multiple tables of rates, if required; otherwise the R_Entity dimension
may just be limited to a unique member, typically named GLOBAL
3.InputCurrency (R): This stores each applicable local currency (CAN, USD, EUR, etc)
4.Category (C): – same as Legal Consolidation model
5.Time (T) : – same as Legal Consolidation model
Note : Dimensions names are not mandatory

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 9


Ownership Model

Purpose of the OWNERSHIP model:


Stores a time dependent representation of the organization structure of the parent
company in transactional data records by directly interfacing with the Dynamic Hierarchy
Editor functionality.
Stores the consolidation method (METHOD) to use as well as the percentage of
consolidation (PCON) , percentage of control (PCTRL) for each of the entities.
Stores the percentage of ownership i.e. POWN.

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 10


Ownership Model - Dimensions

The OWNERSHIP model stores ownership details. A minimum of 6 dimensions are


required:

1.O_Account (A) – provides information on ownership type such as PGROUP, POWN, PCON,
and PCTRL

2.Category (C) – same as Legal Consolidation model

3.Entity (E) – same as Legal Consolidation model

4.Time (T) – same as Legal Consolidation model

5.Interco (I) – same as Legal Consolidation model

6.Scope (G) – same as Legal Consolidation model

Note : Dimensions names are not mandatory

This parameter is used with dynamic hierarchy for legal applications when defining
consolidation hierarchies. The value set here must match the name of property in
GROUPS dimension in the legal consolidation application to store the ownership
Parent/Child property used for
data.

This parameter should be a member ID in the INTERCO dimension in the ownership


Non-interco Member in model if you are using dynamic hierarchies.

Ownership Manager

Purpose :
Provides a web based interface to allow the business user to set up time dependent relationships
between various subsidiaries and organizational units.
Each hierarchy is keyed to a specific combination of Category and Time dimension member
values.
Provides a convenient table entry to define the consolidation METHOD, PCTRL, POWN and
PCON of each individual unit.
The dynamic hierarchy is stored in the Ownership application as transactional records.

FAQ – Consolidation Framework

How to setup the consolidation framework in order to keep the investment details
like no of shares, investment details also in the BPC system ?
Add the relevant accounts in the O_account dimension : number of issued shares,
number of owned shares, with and without voting rights
Create the corresponding data entry schedule in order to enable users to enter the
number of shares owned (using the interco dimension) – data can also be loaded
using a flat file, BW cube…
Set up the calculation of ownership percentage based on data entered on owned and
issued shares

What is the difference between PCON, PCTRL and POWN ?


Percent control represents the percentage of an entity based on voting shares that
other entities own, directly or indirectly. It is used to determine the consolidation
method
Percent ownership (also known as the interest percetange) represents the
percentage of an entity’s nonvoting shares that other entities own, directly or indirectly
Percent consolidation is the percentage of an entity’s values that consolidate to its
parent
Direct percent ownership is the percentage of regular nonvoting shares of stock
owned by each entity

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 26


FAQ – Consolidation Framework

What is the difference between PCON, PCTRL and POWN ?

• Control percentages : M controls F at 80% ; M controls G at 60%,


through F&G, M controls H at 30%.
• Ownership percentages : M owns F at 80%, M owns G at 48% (80% *
60%), M owns H at 14% (80% * 60% * 30%)

What is the difference between elimination entity and consolidation entity? Are
they the same? Elimination entity will only store eliminations generated by US elimination
business rules while the consolidation entity is the entity storing the consolidated results for
each group/sub-group

What happens when we use different entities in place consolidation entity? It allows
to secure only the entity dimension instead of securing both entity and scope dimensions in
case sub-consolidors need to access sub-consolidated data.

© 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 27


FAQ – Consolidation Framework

What is the use of the new properties for Entity – Control_Level and
Ctrl_currency_not_LC ?
Thanks to the Control Level property, the administrator can associate a level of
required control for each entity. So when the controls are executed, only the controls
below or equal to the level associated to the entity will be run.
The Ctrl_currency_not_LC enables the controls execution for those entities were
data entry are performed directly on a currency, and not on the LC member in the
currency dimension

Can we execute the controls at the group level ? No, controls can only be launched on
base entities.

Rules: Controls
Summary

You should now be able to:


Identify and create the required models in order to set up a consolidation
environment
Identify and create the required dimensions in each consolidation model
Identify and fill the required properties for each dimension
Identify useful scripts, business rules and data manager packages
Understand the basics of the Ownership Manager
