Hierarchies - Benefits of EC-CS

Time dependencyhierarchies are maintained with from-year / from-periodchanges valid as of beginning or end of a periodchanges can be applied to sub-hierarchies

Version dependencysupports multiple data categoriesdelta versions for easy simulation of changes

Hierarchy maintenancegraphical user interface for manual changestotal and delta set-up within SAP integrationflexible upload from non-SAP systems

Custom Characteristics - Benefits of EC-CS

Up to five custom subassignments to extend the transaction data of consolidation according to the customer’s needs

each custom subassignment is a new field in totals database and journal entry databasetechnical properties can be defined as desired - but it is also possible to use existing entities of other SAP applicationssupported in almost all functions of Consolidation

Any number of custom-defined attributes to extend the master record for consolidation units

can be used in several consolidation functions (validations, interuniteliminations, reclassification) and in reporting
