Change of first consolidation period & year info

[Former Member]

Dear All,

1. Previously the period and year of first consolidation was 9/2008 for majority of the consolidation units

I want to change it to 09/2013, as the previous implementation stopped in between.

Please let me know if there will be any implications.

2. There is a change in the organisation structure.

Would like to know whether I can change the consolidation units hierarchy or is there any points I have to consider before such change?

3. I've deleted the old BCS transaction data in the Cubes from 2008.

Now, when I am loading the new transaction data, do I have to do anything manually, to get the new master data loaded or is it an automated process done my BCS system, before loading the new transaction data?

Thanking you for all the wonderful support !!!!!

Warm regards,

Vicki

Hi Vicki,

If you do not have in the system transaction data until the period/year of the first consolidation, you may do not worry about organizational change or master data change before this date.

All you'll have to do manually are: 1) change period/year of FC for ConsUnits/Groups  2) either change MD in the system or upload MD into the system or suncronize Master Data with BW. - if needed, and 3) the same as in p. 2) is right for the hieararcy of Chart of Accounts and the hieararcy of ConsUnits.

Hi Eugene,

I deleted the old data before 11/2013 and made the first year of consolidation as 2013 and first period as 11.

I did this by selecting the parameters as 10/2013, however, i am able to see the old hierarchy setup from 09/2008.

Should i leave it as it is or will it affect my consolidation process in future?

Please share your expert suggestions...

Regards,

Vicki.

Hi Vicki,

The structure of the hierarchy is built upon master data. They do not DIRECTLY affect the FinStatements. Only transaction data do. So, it should be Ok.
