Trading Partner is not consolidated for group but locally consolidated

[pmorais1985]

Dear experts,

in a scenario where a company is created as trading partner in SAP and

a) that company is not group consolidated, but locally consolidated

b) that company is neither group nor locally consolidated, but maybe might be in the future

c) a company is group and local consolidated, but suddenly stops being consolidated for group or local

Is there a way in S4 HANA Group Reporting or other consolidation tools like Hyperion not to define an entity for consolidation even if trading partner has been populated? So that open balances and PL containing trading partner does not have to be corrected?

Is there not a concept of a group consolidation unit and local consolidation unit?

Thank you.

Hi Pedro

Only companies (including their trading partner sub assignment) that are part of a consolidation group defined within Group Reporting will be eliminated.

If the company (with its associated trading partner) are not in the group, no consolidation IC adjustments will be made.

Group structure is time dependent so can be changed as requried for each month end.

Thanks
