Statistical Accounts / Quantities without affecting Consolidations?

Former Member

We are on BPC v. 10 for NW.  We are currently implementing BPC for the first time, and we have set up our models to perform the consolidation function, primarily.  We will focus on using BPC for Planning in the next phase.

Currently, all of our accounts in the Account dimension are financial accounts.  I read the thread regarding accounts for capturing data such as units here:  http://scn.sap.com/thread/3295020  When you create these new accounts in the Account dimension, what keeps them from "participating" in the consolidation process?  Do we just simply enter "No" in the "Is used by Consolidation Process" in the Account dimension? 

Are there any concerns with adding the statistical accounts to this dimension with respect to hierarchies?  We've created two different hierarchies (one more detailed than the other).

Hi Jeff,

You can add the new accounts and be confident that they will not be automatically part of the consolidation process for the following reason.  In your business rules you always define what accounts should be part of the scope.  This is done in different ways for different rules. 

For currency translation this determination is done through RATTYPE. For Consolidation and elimination you will have other fields like DIMLIST or source and destination accounts.

As long as the statistical accounts do not roll up to a non-statistical account at any level in the hierarchy, you will be OK.

Hi Jeff,

You can add the new accounts and make sure those are not the part of Heirarchies used in the consolidation.

Moreover we use the accounts in the business rules either by DIMLIST property or by directly selecting the account itself.

So I hope you should be Good if you are follwoing the above rules.

Jeff,

Can you add them to different hierarchy. And one more thing, For consolidation, if you are talking about Eliminations, Account Adjustments, You need to give th appropriate Account/Group be Property. 

System won't take all the accounts for consolidations. Check the Business Rules once, have source and target accounts.

Thanks,
