BCS 604 SP6 - Change to Consolidation Group extra features
Hi All,
We've upgraded from SP0 to SP6 and noticed some new options for CCG config:
IN UCWB we have rthe following new options:
1. under Consolidation area --> Settings --> Consolidation Functions used, we have:
(checkbox) Separation of Goodwill from Investment (ERP 2005)
2. Under Changes to Consolidation group we had:
- Selected Items
- Task
- Document Type
- System Utilization - NEW
-
> (checkbox) Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
Help on "1" reveals:
If you select this checkbox, you enable the separation of goodwill from the investment relationship.
Use
If the Separation of Goodwill from Investment function is active, you can manually enter a goodwill entry on a separate consolidation unit for the Reclassification of Treasury Stock activity. The system does not post a minority interest to effects from valuation allowance or currency translation. The system suppresses the posting of minority interests on the assumption that no investment and equity data exist for a separate consolidation unit for which you have entered a manual goodwill entry. (However, the system does not check whether investment and equity data on the separate consolidation unit really do not exist.)
Help on "2":
Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture
If you select this checkbox, you enable the system to post the other comprehensive income in the Total Divestiture activity with an effect on net income.
Use
If the Other Comprehensive Income in Total Divestiture function is active, the system posts the group value of the other comprehensive income in total divestiture to the income statement.
Dependencies
You define the items for other comprehensive income as a subset of the equity items in Equity Data Customizing on the Other Comprehensive Income tab page. You specify there for each item for other comprehensive income the relevant posting item in the income statement.
Anyone used either of these extra features,
found them useful, any problems?
