Increase in Capitalization.

[Former Member]

Hi BCS experts,

We are running the consolidation activity no.05 that is Increase in Capitalization in which we are mentioning the Equity Data and Investment Data separately with no change in percentage, while running the consolidation activity for the same consolidation unit we are getting the Goodwill +ve as well as the Goodwill -ve separately, actually the system should post the document by knocking off the equity with investment and the difference should be posted in either Goodwill +ve OR Goodwill -ve and not to the Goodwill +ve AND Goodwill -ve both separately as what the system is doing right now.

Eg: Cons Unit 4000, FS Item Goodwill +ve 3000007, FS Item Goodwill -ve 1021080, FS Item Equity 1021000, FS Item Investment 2031050

Assume first conso is already being done, there is increase in investment by cons unit 4000 with no change in percentage in 2000 and increase in equity.

Now the system should knock off the investment and the equity data and post the Goodwill +ve OR Goodwill -ve, it should not post the document for equity and investment separately creating the Goodwill +ve and Goodwill -ve

Note: while running the first consolidation with the same type of data with 01 activity, the system posts the difference perfectly in either Goodwill +ve or Goodwill -ve

Ok, Bhavesh

Let's return to you problem.

Questions:

In location of values - equity tab -- do you have this FS Item Equity 1021000 in Increase in Capitalization activity?

If yes, do you have a tick mark in the row and the column 'Cons Entr.' ?

And if it is not difficult, please put down the entries the document for Incr in Cap produced.

Dear Sir

In location of Values

i have not mentioned any FS items for increase or decrease in capitalisation so no question of Tick mark

That means the system will read the data from only AFD both investments and equity

following is the example

This is Equity Data AFD

*Cons Unit 2000

Item 1011020

Description Share Capital

Subitem Category 110

Subitem 112

Partner Unit 4000

PV LC -24765348

Period Value in GC -1973509719

GC INR

CI Activity 5

This is INvestment Data AFD

*Cons Unit 4000

Item 2031050

Free Field Investment in Subsidiaries

Subitem C 220

Subitem 222

PU 2000

PV LC 50000000

PV GC 2006000000

CI Activity 5

Change in share 0

Now the system passes two documents instead of knoking off equity with investments

NOTE

First conso is over and giving the goodwill as per the desired value

4000 is holding 2000 by 100%

Hi Bhavesh,

I had some interruption in my participation in the forum. Now I don't have the working system with me. Will try to get it in a few nearest days.

[Former Member]

Hi Bhavesh,

Did you carryout matching of acitivities? mathcing of increase in capitalisation-Invest and Increase in cap-equity.

After that pls run C/I.

Update if it works.

UR,

Please refrain from rewriting the other contributors' previously given answers.

Eugune,

It was not intentional.

Somehow, I did not see AJ´s reply. I think my page was not refreshed for long and I was reading the post in between my other assignments.

Hi Bhavesh,

After having uploaded the AFD for equity and investment for CI activity - 05 Increase in capitalization, please execute the "Activity matching" task also.

This would match the two activity numbers generated for Investment data - CI activity05 and equity data CI activity 05.

After having done this the system will post only one document in place of two "Increase in capitalization" documents....and will not post negative as well as positive Goodwill!

I too faced the same problem while testing my present system and found out this solution...so am sure it will work!

From the scenario described by you, it looks to me that the clearing item is missing and also one config step seem to be missing.

Although the first consolidation went well, the increase in capitalization could not be done for want of these configuration steps.

[Former Member]

Dear Sir

Thanks for the reply

I have configured the clearing items in selected items config step

as well as in COI settings at each stage wherver it required i have defined due to which my first conso and subsequnet conso and other activities like total devistituture works perfect

as per my desire the result is coming only increse in capitalisation it is not undersating that equity should be knok off against the investments It posts the documents seperately which it should not do

Hi Bhavesh Parmar,

the difference should be posted in

either Goodwill +ve OR Goodwill -ve

and not to the

Goodwill +ve AND Goodwill -ve

both separately as what the system is doing right now.

Cannot figure out the difference. Please give us an example.

[Former Member]

Dear sir

thanks for your prompt reply

I will give you following example

Parent -4000

Subsidiary -2000 with 100% held by parent

Firest consolidation is over and Goodwill+ ve is already created by knoking off the investments with Equity

Afterr subsequent consolidation Year is over and carried forward the balalnce

Next year there is increse in Share capital as well as Investments however no change is there in % COI activity number 05

Now the system should after the AFD must read the earlier goodwill posted last year and post the necessary entries in the same Goodwill+ ve but it is not doing so

It reads the increse in share capital and puts the same amount in Goodwill -ve different FS item

like Equity DR

TO Goodwill -ve CR FS item 1021080

similarly it reads the investments data and puts the same amount in Goodwill +ve

like Investments CR

TO Goodwill +ve DR FS item 3000007

It should in real senese knowk off the Equity and investments and post the difference in one FS item only and not Two as just explained above

It should post the Documnet as follow

Equity DR

INvestments CR

and whatever differnece will come it should post it to either

FS item 1021080 or FS item 3000007

but it is not doing so

IT IS not reading investment and equity data together

[Former Member]

Ok,

In location of values were from you read investments and equity?

[Former Member]

Dear sir

Thanks for prompt reply

in Location of values

Investments : It reads from AFD only

Equity : It reads from Both AFD and Total Records

Now for Investments irrespective of the COI activity it will read from only AFD

and In Equity only for Subsequent Consolidation it reads data from Total Records and rest all the COI activity it reads from AFD .i.e. COI activity 01, 05,06 and so

UCWB->COI->settings->Activities

In collection of the Data I have mentioned the Same FS item with subitem which i m going to use in AFD for 05 activity i.e. increase in capitalisation

My all activities are running OK only the system is not been able to read the activity as combined

Note : For First consolidation the system posts the document perfectly

[Former Member]

Hi Bhavesh,

I didn't forget about your question. Just in order to give you more or less correct answer I need to do some experiments in the system. Taking into account that we are not SAP employees and have our own job, it may take some time.

So, please be patient. Help is coming (or meantime someone else may help).
