Intercompany Eliminations Issue in SAP BOFC

[Former Member]

The client is currently using 7.5 BOFC version with the IFRS kit 10.0.

The client has two instances development and  production.(in the same server)

The developments are made in the development client and moved to the production client through the transportation.

We have made a few developments of adding new reporting units for another group belonging to the client and making new filters, scope and reports in the development. Testing was done and then the changes were moved to production.

As a part of the new requirement we have added new dimension members into the account dimension in the development and in the respective account filters.

We have also included these members into the category builder in the Chart of Accounts, Account families and have validated and distributed the category scenario successfully.

The inclusion of the same were done in the respective input and output schedules .

Both the development and the production client were working fine. (I/C Eliminations, package reports, consolidated reports all were fine)

But after a week we observe the following errors in the development

1.      The intercompany company eliminations are not happening after the consolidation definition is processed.

2.      All the consolidated reports are not showing the intercompany eliminations for the accounts like trade receivable, trade payables and many other accounts for which we have input the intercompany transactions.

3.      Though no changes were done to the consolidation rules that are existing in the system, the eliminations are not happening for the new accounts added or for the existing accounts which are having intercompany transactions.

On the other hand, the production system is working correctly with all the intercompany eliminations for all the accounts.

We have checked and compared the consolidation rules with the standard rule and the rules existing in the production system. No differences were observed.

We are unable to trace out why the intercompany eliminations are not happening in the development system while the same is happening in the production.

Request you to please help us with the required support.

Thanks In Advance,

Shilpa.

Hi Folu,

    The issue is resolved by correcting the category builder.

    Thanks for your support.

Hi Udo Lindemann,

   The load dat log for the consloidation processing  shows the below information.

"Create TBL_DATA Unozpy3ol1ihu

  Load preconsolidated data: 79 rows added

  Create TBL_ENTRIES Usvve9rxqxvbn

  Create TBL_RULE1 Uqpi71w93zumu

  mark 1 reporting units whose package could be loaded (reportng ID data)."

  Please suggest.

Thanks,

Shilpa.

Hi Shilpa,

Following our discussions yesterday and today, we identified that the issue was caused by a corrupt Category Builder - where the flow behavior settings for the account families had disappeared.

Once you re-populated this you were able to resolve the issue.

Hi Udo Lindemann,

  We have data for the intercompany accounts in development.

   We have another consolidation definition in dev. system, but let us know how this will affect the elimination process.

       The consolidation log say processing successful and it I check the consolidation set of rules  they say 8 rows created etc.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Shilpa.

The interesting point is the "Loading Data" section in the log.

Hi Shilpa

Maybe you

- do not have data on intercompany accounts in development system

- have another consolidation definition in development system

Have you checked the log of consolidation?
