Hi,

In case of monthly consolidation frequency and need to Transfer a unit to another group in the hierarchy within

the same month (eg. legal transfer date is March 15th.) , how can you make Data Collection for this unit in both groups (the

old group should receive data from 1 to 15 and new group should receive data from 16 to 31) for the same consolidation

period?

Thanks in advance

When a

brand new BCS implementation is started, there are a lot of kinks. These steps below from the OSS Note # 753688 are very

detailed in what needs to be done in that case.

The procedure with the activation differentiates between

an SEM new installation and an upgrade in item 2b (Copying of the example from client 000).
1. The SEM installation is a

new installation
The delivery client 000 is copied into a new customer client xxx by client copy. With that

the content is available in client xxx, however, not active yet. The client is still empty concerning SEM Customizing.

Text Body:
DIFFERENT

TYPES OF CURRENCIES
TRANSACTION CURRENCY - Currency in which the transaction is denominated.
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY - Currency in which company conducts its business. E.g., some Latin American companies might

conduct business in USD because of high inflation rates.
LOCAL CURRENCY (currency type 10) - normally it is the

functional currency of the country where the company code is registered; legal/statutory currency e.g., CAD for Canadian

company
PARALLEL CURRENCY - Not normally activated. If functional currency is not same as statutory currency,

parallel currency can be activated. E.g., High inflation currency where there is a need to see both currencies at the

transaction level. Defined at the company code. Company will have local currency plus two parallel currencies.
GROUP CURRENCY (currency type 30) - currency defined in client master; normally this is also the consolidation

reporting currency for the group; If using Group Currency in FI it is advised to use Group currency in CO as well.

A friend go this interview question - a strange one... can you do interunit eliminations in BPS?

The scenario was that the company had say 20 companies.. and they have already implemented BCS in say, 10.. now the next 10's plan amounts need to have this functionality.. how do you do that in BPS??

The FS clearing items are created using the menu path Consolidation Workbench>> Master Data>>Items>>Selected Items and they help make automatic postings in the system to the appropriate FS item when entries are made across the balance sheet and income statement.

Had some old notes for SEM-BCS the BW based version - thought of sharing it with everyone.. SEM BCS ODS allow to capture the granular details for the transactions. Run listing in the Cons Monitor instead of the infocube RMC Manage Flat file or manual – two ways to load data into BCS - even have to convert the SAP R/3 data into a flat file and upload it. (auto will come in 4.0)
