Consolidation in SAP: B/S and Income Stmt

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I would greatly appreciate it someone could shed some light on the following questions. Points available.

I am currently working on ECC 6.0. My client has 2 CoCd's (One US and the other UK) both under the US COA. The client has asked that want the funtionality to see a consolidated Balance sheet and Income stmt for the entire company after they go live.

I have heard that Consolidation in ECC 6.0 is <b><u>obsolete</u></b> and that it must be done in BI-SEM. <b>Is this true?</b> As I mentioned earlier, my client is implementing 6.0 and will only be implementing BI well after the go live date (probably 2-3 months after ECC 6.0 goes live). <b>If that is the case, how would my client be able to do Consolidations in the interim?</b>

<b>Also, what does SAP mean when they say Consolidation is "obsolete" in E 6.0?</b> <b>Because I can still see the configuration steps in IMG?</b>

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

ECCS is not obsolete in ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 version. It can still be configured and get consolidated financial results. We did a ECCS implementation a year back in ECC 5.0 version.

However, SAP is suggesting to implement SEM-BCS in BIW.

Thanks

Hi Murali,

Thanks for clearing up that question. <b>Do you happen to have the steps needed to configure ECCS?</b> If so, I would appreciate it if you could forward it to bw_ani@yahoo.com.

I think the client will have to use ECCS in the interim until SEM-BCS is up later next year.

Thanks again.

IN ECC 6.0 the consolidation is not osbolete but it is better to BI-SEM-BCS which is has much better functionality to use. In case you have to use this in interim period. You can configure ECCS and get the consolidation steps.

Sunil/Murali,

Will you have documentation on how to implement EC-CS in ECC 5.0/6.0? I have the document fro 4.6c, which obviously is based on the classic GL. I am looking for documentation for ECC. Points available.

Appreciate responses ASAP.

Thanks again,

Ann
