    DEFINITION

    q Inter-unit eliminations of receivables, payables, revenues,expenses etc.

    q Consolidation of Investments and accounting for the

    minority interestq Translations of the statements under relevant currencies.

    q Reports Generation

    Consolidation is the process of combining the individual financialstatement data of relevant companies in order to prepare

    Consolidated Financial Statements (CFS) for the Group to show itsfinancial position as a single business entity. The consolidatedfinancial statements include the financial statements of the companyand enterprises controlled by it i.e its subsidiaries and the share inprofits of associates.

    The process at high level involves performance of tasks suchas

    DEFINITION

    The objective of the consolidation component is to createconsolidated financial statements consisting of Balance Sheet, Profit

    and Loss Statement, and Cash Flow Statement and to provide thetimely information to the management. EC-CS significantlyaccelerates the consolidation process with its automatic functions forcurrency translation, inter unit elimination and consolidation ofinvestments .The Consolidation process is performed in theConsolidation Component of SAP R/3 EC CS module.

    GLOBAL PARAMETER

    q Global parameters are important settings for EC-CS thattypically remain the same for a work session.

    q These parameters are saved for a particular the user whenhe/she logs off, and are automatically used when he/shelogs back on. However, the parameters can be changed asand when required.

    q When you run a function, the information saved as a your

    global parameters are either proposed by default, or set inthe background (in which they cannot be specified directlyfor the function).

    q The global parameters are displayed in a status row at thetop of every screen in Customizing and the consolidationfunctions.

    q In Customizing, the parameters that are relevant for thecurrent maintenance are displayed in a different color. Forexample, maintenance of financial statement items isdependent on the consolidation chart of accounts, but noton the version.

    q A dimension defines the specific characteristic in-group reporting. Dimensionsinclude consolidation types such as company consolidation, business areaconsolidation, or profit centre consolidation.

    q Standard, Conventions & Rules

    v The requirement for consolidation is to be able to consolidate from a legalview and a management view. Legal View will be based on companiesand Management View based on profit centres.

    v SAP delivers a standard dimension for companies and a standarddimension for profit centres. These are:

    v 01 for companies

    v 03 for profit centres

    q A given dimension can represent one or more consolidation types. You typicallyuse one dimension for each consolidation type. Dimensions are specific views ongroup reporting. In a dimension, you define the group structure as a hierarchyof consolidation units and groups. You can manage several dimensions inparallel in the system.

    7/57

    q Hierarchies are structured sets of consolidation units andconsolidation groups. They are defined by their top-mostconsolidation group.

    q Any consolidation unit or group can exist in any number ofhierarchies.

    q In each dimension, you can define the hierarchy levels and arrangethese levels into the desired sequence. You can then assign thelevels to the consolidation groups of a hierarchy to clarify the

    hierarchy structure.

    q Each hierarchy uses a part of this hierarchy level.Each consolidation group is assigned to only one level.In the example, hierarchy 2 consists of the levels group, strategicbusiness unit, company, business area, and company/ businessarea

    q You can create any number of hierarchy levels.

    q The number of hierarchy levels can vary in different branches ofthe same hierarchy.

    q A consolidation group is a user-defined combination of multipleconsolidation units and/or consolidation groups for consolidationand reporting purposes. It represents the structure of the group.

    q Consolidation groups and consolidation units are dependent on thedimension.

    q Each consolidation unit can be included in different consolidationgroups, and each consolidation group in turn can be included indifferent hierarchies.

    q Since consolidation groups are dimension-dependent, the masterdata created for the consolidation groups is valid only in therelevant dimension

    The consolidation unit is the smallest element of the group structure forwhich a complete consolidation can take place. Consolidation units arethe equivalent of company codes in FI. They are linked in theconsolidation hierarchy at the lowest node. Consolidation groups may becollections of various consolidation units.

    Information stored in the master data of a consolidation unit typicallycomprises of the following:

    q Name and Address

    q Country

    q Language

    q Local Currency

    q Means of data transfer

    q Method of Currency Translation

    CONSOLIDATION UNIT

    11/57

    q In order to create consolidated financial statements, the transaction data ofall the consolidation units included must be uniformly aggregated. For this

    purpose, the group headquarters provides all consolidation units with one ormore consolidation charts of accounts. These charts of accounts structurethe financial statement items in accordance with the internal and externalrequirements of the consolidated financial statements. In the consolidationchart of accounts, all financial statement items are arranged logically in anitem hierarchy.

    q The consolidation chart of accounts is client-dependent only. Therefore, you

    can use it in different dimensions.

    q To allow the integrated transfer of reported financial data from SAPtransaction applications, you must create a link between the G/L accountsand any secondary cost elements, and the consolidation financial statementitems. When real time updating or rollup is used, the ID's of the transactionaccounts are identical to the ID's of the FS items. When periodic extract isused, the financial statement version items and the consolidation items are

    identical. In order to ensure that the IDs correspond, you can create theconsolidation chart of accounts from both the FI chart of accounts and thefinancial statement version.

    16/57

    q Consolidation with the EC-CS component is based on totals data. Thisdata is recorded using various data collection procedures and isstored in the totals table ECMCT.

    q Additional financial data relevant for consolidation is also entered inseparate tables. This additional data is not necessarily reported byconsolidation units in their individual financial statements.

    q All postings made during the consolidation process are saved asdocuments in the journal entry database ECMCA.

    q The totals table ECMCT therefore includes the following: All data fromthe individual financial statements, changes or additions to thisdataset as a result of any additional financial data reportedStandardizing entries and Consolidation entries

    q You define tasks and methods for IU eliminations in Customizing. Youshould create a task for each of the inter unit consolidation procedures,

    for example, elimination of inter unit payables and receivables orrevenue and expense. In a method, you specify which items are to bemutually eliminated and how you want to handle any resultingdifferences.

    q You execute IU elimination tasks from the consolidation monitor. Thesystem generates an elimination entry in the following cases:

    q A consolidation unit reports a value for an FS item requiringelimination.

    q Another consolidation unit is assigned as the trading partner for thisvalue.

    q You have specified that both of the above consolidation units are to be

    included in IU elimination.q The system differentiates elimination entries according to tradingpartner relationships, as follows: A pair of consolidation units is alwayslooked at and within this pair a pair of FS item sets

    q Elimination documents contain an entry for each partner relationship,broken down by transaction currency, if requested

    debit/credit sign. A consolidation unit and a partner unit are postedagainst in each line.

    q The document type of the elimination entry determines its postinglevel.

    q You specify pairs of item sets for inter unit elimination inelimination method customizing. You can use more than one pair ofitem sets for each method

    ADVANTAGES

    q Details of all units are available for analysing the overallconsolidation group.

    q Simultaneous consolidation process is more straightforward thanstep consolidation.

    DIS-ADVANTAGES

    q Lack of clarity when groups are too large (too much detail).

    q Parallel sub-consolidation groups are possible for reportingpurposes, but generally pose the risk of being inconsistent with theoverall group

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    35/57

    q The FS item is the central account assignment object of theconsolidation system. It identifies a value or quantity entry

    and can be differentiated with further sub assignments.

    q The FS item type puts the characteristics of an item inconcrete terms, with regard to data entry, posting andprocessing in evaluations. The following FS item types aredistinguished: values, totals and text items.

    q Where-applied indicator: Here you define whether the FSitem belongs to the assets, liabilities/equity, incomestatement or statistical items.

    q The FS item type can be defined by the user, for example,in order to select items specially as key figure items

    FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    36/57

    q Sub items enable you to break down FS items further. It may, for example, benecessary to additionally assign financial statement items in transferred assets withdifferent transaction types so that all changes to the items are shown from theopening to the closing balance.

    The sub items are grouped into sub item categories, in order to distinguish thetransaction types in transferred assets from those in equity, for example.

    Only one sub item category can be assigned to a particular financial statement item inEC-CS.Default subitems are provided for each of the subitem categories in the consolidationcharts of accounts supplied with the system.

    q In SAP integration, you can define a sender field for each sub item category, forexample transaction types, or customer's country. If the data is imported to EC-CSfrom FI or EC-PCA, the original account assignments are converted to sub items of thesame name.In the transaction applications, specify that the appropriate fields are ready for input

    BREAK DOWN CATEGORY

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    37/57

    Postings to FS items may be further broken down by Sub-items tofacilitate reporting. This is achieved by assigning a Breakdown Categoryto the FS item. The following breakdown categories cab be n defined for

    Example.

    q EQTY- For equity related items

    q INCO For inter-company items which will be used for Inter-unitElimination

    q ASST For all fixed asset related items acquisition andaccumulated depreciation

    q GEN For all other items to be broken down by transactioncurrency

    q STAT - For statistical items

    VERSION

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    38/57

    q Versions make it possible to consolidate financial data according todifferent criteria. Financial data to be prepared and consolidated

    according to different criteria or using different valuationapproaches

    q You can carry out consolidations in different consolidation versions.This enables you to carry out alternative consolidations, such assimulations, planning, restatements, and so on parallel to theconsolidation of the actual data.

    q You can, for example, use different versions to manage,consolidate and compare different reporting data for comparisonsand simulations.

    q You can open new versions at any time

    VERSION

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    39/57

    THE FIELD LENGTH AVAILABLE FOR NAMING OF VERSIONS IS THREE.

    EXAMPLES OF CONSOLIDATION VERSION :-

    Local Version [used for local GAAP reporting]This is will either be an ADD-ON version and references version 100 as its base version,or, will be a normal version with the data being copied from version 100

    Balances will be carried forward into the new year for this version

    Copying of data from this consolidation version to another is allowed [useful secondversion created for simulations]

    At this stage all tasks will reference the special version 100 [Actual Version]. This maychange.

    300

    Budget Version

    This is a NORMAL version

    Balances will be carried forward into the new year for this version

    Copying of data from this consolidation version to another is allowed [useful secondversion created for simulations]

    All tasks will reference the special version 200 [Budget Version

    200

    Actual Version

    This is a NORMAL version

    Balances will be carried forward into the new year for this version

    Copying of data from this consolidation version to another is allowed [useful secondversion created for simulations]All tasks will reference the special version 100 [ActualVersion]

    N VERSION

    USE OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    40/57

    Example of the use of add-on versions

    q Version 1 consists of the consolidated statements according to USGAAP.

    q Version 2 consists of additional financial data and/or manual orautomatic postings.

    q Version 2 reflects Japanese GAAP in conjunction with version

    Drilldown Reporting and the Report Writer

    q When the reporting functions use an add-on version, the data of allreferenced versions are automatically used, as well.

    Consolidation functions and the rest of the Information System:

    q Always work with the data of their versionq Have no relationship to the referenced data of other versions

    USE OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    41/57

    You can carry out simulations to analyse the different effects of:

    Different valuation options

    q Exchange rates

    q Restatements

    q Different reporting data (actual/plan)

    Using the version concept you can, for example, combine yourversions for actual and plan data with alternative currencytranslation methods

    LEDGER

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    42/57

    Contains transaction figures and documents showing the changes in thevalues and quantities resulting from accounting transactions. The values oftransaction figures are saved in 16 periods as well as in one period for thebalance carried forward.

    You assign a ledger to each consolidation group in the master record of theconsolidation group. The currency of the ledger determines the currency inwhich the consolidation groups carried in the ledger report their financialdata

    The data in the ECMCT totals table can be managed in three currencies:

    q

    Transaction currency

    q Currency of the consolidation unitq Ledger currency. The ledger currency specifies the currency of the

    consolidation group.

    You can also manage the ledger values as quantities (the unit of measure isdefined in the breakdown category).

    Example: -

    q You want to consolidate two consolidation groups in USD and EURO. Youneed two ledgers for this. At group level you copy the values from theEURO ledger into the USD ledger.

    q SAP delivers the standard ledger "1C" for consolidation. This ledger is notfor use in a live customer system. Please create a new ledger (usingledger "1C" as a copy template).

    44/57

    q You use this method if one or more units does not use anyintegration, but administer their reported financial data on PC.You can start the data collection both for a single unit and as wellas for a group.

    q Reported dataYou can start the data collection directly in the data monitor, when

    you supply the master data of the cons units with the followinginformation:q logical file name, server selection, upload methodq The system only transfers the data streams, which correspond to

    the global parameters and refer to the unit to be edited. Other datastreams of the file are not taken into account.

    q You can also transfer the master data and the Customizing ofproduct groups from a file.

    q You can upload standardizing entries. A document is generated percombination of ledger, consolidation chart of accounts, dimension,version, period and consolidation unit.

    STANDARDISED ENTRY

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    45/57

    q Sometimes accounting practices followed by group companies in certain

    regions do not conform to corporate policies. In order to create acommon ground for all companies in the group some adjustments needto be made in Consolidation. These adjustments are calledStandardizing entries. The manner in which standardizing entries arepassed is quite similar to journals in FI, except that the line items areposted to FS items (instead of GL accounts in FI).

    q Standardizing entries are valid in all consolidation groups containing theconsolidation unit that is posted against

    CURRENCY TRANSLATION

  • 8/12/2019 Overview of Eccs

    46/57

    q The currency translation task enables you to translate financial datareported by consolidation units in their local currency into the currencyof the consolidation group.

    q Currency translation is based on translation methods. You can define

    several methods for translating data reported by your consolidationunits. You can assign every consolidation unit by time period andversion.

    q The type of currency translation you use depends on the relationshipsbetween your corporate group and its individual consolidation units(functional currency).

    q You can define any of the commonly-used translation methods for yourchart of accounts (temporal method, current-rate method, and soon).

    q Different financial statement item sets are usually translated usingdifferent exchange rates. You use various combinations of the currencytranslation key and the exchange rate indicator to determine theseexchange rates.

    q The currency translation key determines the base currency fortranslation, the table used to find the exchange rate, and the

    procedure for calculating group currency values.q The currency translation keys are fixed and cannot be changed

    (exception: translation key

    49/57

    The concept of user-defined validation is employed in many SAPapplications.

    Validations are available in addition to the standard checks in the EC-CSposting transaction. You can run validation when processing thefollowing:

    q Document header

    q Individual document line

    q Complete document

    q Validation for a consolidation unit typically takes place after datacollection (in local currency) and currency translation (into groupcurrency).

    q Validation across consolidation units or dimensions is essential forensuring reconciled data in legal and management consolidation

    50/57

    q EC-CS supports a wide range of automatic postings. You can also poststandardizing and consolidation entries manually. Postings are classified bymeans of document types, enabling a simple analysis and the distinctionbetween different business functions.

    q Document types are used to assign specific attributes to consolidation entries.It is possible to use consolidation task-specific document types that can beemployed in the reports and validations

    q The system automatically generates journal entries (financial statementbalancing adjustments and deferred income taxes).In this way, you can control the special items for deferred taxes better,independently of the respective document type. Apart from that, with

    document types which are larger than or equal to 20, you can define aclearing item for cross-consolidation units postings (only for these postinglevels can a cross-consolidation unit posting take place).

    q When you want to specify selected items for the document type, then enter anitem for the debit and credit postings.

    q You need to use different document types to distinguish between manual and

    automatic postings. You can use identical or different number ranges forposting.

    q The account assignment takes place by item number and as desired by subassignment possibilities, which you can specify individually.

    q A reversal function (and a mass reversal function) is available for singledocuments

    q Note: There is a Carry Forward Balances function in FI also (Tcode:F.16), which has no bearing on this transaction. In other words,executing the carry forward transaction in FI does not automaticallycarry forward balances in Consolidation.

    q Every month, the Retained Earnings function (T Code: CXCL) should

    be run for each consolidation unit, which posts the current monthsRetained earnings to items RE ANI B/S and RE ANI I/S

    q At the end of the year, when the Balance Carry Forward function isexecuted, the figure from Retained Earnings gets carried forward toUn-appropriated Retained Earnings item to facilitate Consol Reporting.

    q Retained Earnings Annual Net Income I/S: 990400
