In May 2010 company code 9033 is acquiring 9600 which is a perent company in Sub Group 9060.

Pls advice me the steps involved in this type of acquisition.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Richard

Because 9600 and 9601 will be at the same level of the hierarchy as they already are, just at a new place, the first consolidation for them in the new group is May 2010 with divestiture also as May 2010.

The revised hierarchy is now: (correct?)

Hi Dan,

Sorry for wrong hierarchy. In the hierarchy its not 9060 it is 9600 which is as below:

9600

...........9600

...........9601

In fact i tried to create a new sub group for 9600 under 9033 for which system is not accepting that.

The error as below:

Entry 9600 occurs several times beneath top node 9099 of hierarchy LEGAL

Message no. UCD0020

Diagnosis

You can assign a node to a text node several times, but only once to a totals node.

However, to do this, there can only be text nodes between the top node of the hierarchy and the text node in question; or the text node must be assigned directly below the top node of the hierarchy.

Pls suggest me wheather i am doing any thing wrong or my approach itself is wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Cons group 9600 should not be used more than once so the new group must have a different name such as 9600x or something completely different. But once this is done all should be okay.
