Enterprise Management
AR
How can we manage the activities of our enterprise in various
countries and markets, operate locally, and promote the global
strategy of the group?
 SAP AG 1999

Complex group structures have to be managed effectively.
At the same time, increasing globalization requires decentralized group management for independent
organizational units.
Business units that are close to the market have to be managed decentrally in order to leverage their full
market potential.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 1-5

Global process optimization allows synergies (know-how, core competencies) to be detected more
quickly and used more efficiently in the group.
New business concepts can be transferred from one unit to another.
 Enterprise goals are increasingly being set "from the outside" - by shareholders, for example.
Enterprise management now has the task of implementing these goals internally.
 The corporate group head office calculates key figures and defines goals for the strategic business
entities.
Here, non-monetary success factors also have an influence: the group has the relevant information
earlier, and no longer has to wait until effects are seen in P&L.
 Formerly, external and internal accounting were usually separate (for example, due to different valuation
methods). Nowadays, the goal is to unite external and internal accounting, since the requirements for
legal consolidation also comprise a certain amount of information relevant to cost accounting.
The enterprise is controlled according to internal enterprise structures that can be very detailed. This
means that extremely flexible structures are necessary. The company is no longer the basis of
consolidation in all areas.

Automatic creation of consolidated financial statements
Flexible definition of consolidation methods
In legal consolidation, the consolidation units are the legally independent companies. They report their
individual financial statements to the group, which are used to compute the consolidated financial
statement.
 In management consolidation, the consolidation areas can be profit centers or business areas.
 In the R/3 System, integrated data can be transferred directly from the transaction systems to
consolidation.
You can work with planned and budget values, or carry out simulations.
 The standard system includes all international consolidation methods that are commonly used.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 1-7

EC-EIS is the information system for senior management. Data from the various partial information
systems inside and outside of the enterprise (accounting, human resources, controlling, and enterprise
controlling) is grouped together to form a uniform dimension. Since this data is very heterogeneously
structured, the data basis can be divided up into data areas that are self-contained from a business point
of view.
 EC-BP: Actual/planned data, as well as investment requirements can be transferred from the transaction
applications in the group, making it easier to determine planning data for the transaction units.
 EC-CS comprises general consolidation functions for external reporting, but also for the internal
reporting structure in accordance with the internal management structure.
Migration tools for migrating from FI-LC to EC-CS are available since March 2000.
EC-CS consolidates 'financial data' from external and internal accounting. What is more, EC-EIS
imports the critical control values for enterprise controlling from the logistics and human resource
applications.
General key figure reports in EC-EIS are complemented by EC-CS data in a highly aggregated form.
The transferred EC-CS data are presented in EC-EIS in joint reports.
 EC-PCA provides information on profitability and capital tie-up in units that are responsible for earnings
(profit centers).


Success is measured by the speed with which a business strategy can be realized. To optimize enterprise
controlling SAP has developed the New Dimensions component Strategic Enterprise Management
(SEM).

One of the main advantages of SAP SEM is the support it offers to strategic management processes by
linking strategic and operational actions.

Internal control of an enterprise can be carried out using value-oriented management principles.

Business Consolidation
 SAP AG 1999

SAP SEM is an analytical application and is based on complex OLAP and Data Warehouse technology
(OLAP: Online Analytical Processing).

The SAP consolidation engines used by both EC-CS and SEM-BCS contains all the consolidation
functions. The consolidated data can be made available in the OLTP system (R/3 EC-CS) or in BW
(SEM-BCS).
Alternatively, reported data can in future be consolidated and analyzed in BW.

In R/3 the EC-CS structures, both fixed and flexible (user definable), continue to be available and
applicable in OLTP systems.
OLTP (Online Transactional Processing): The data is stored in tables and is, to a certain extent, user
definable.

The Business Information Warehouse (BW) contains the business data, among other things the
consolidated data.
The data is contained in a multidimensional data cube (OLAP structure).

Applications of EC-CS :
 Company consolidation
 Management consolidation
 Characteristics:
 Flexible hierarchies of consolidation units
 SAP integration for companies, business areas, profit centers
 Tools for online and offline data entry
 Flexible interfaces for subsidiaries with systems made by other manufacturers
 Powerful reporting functionality, drilldown to transaction SAP components
 International rules for reporting (US-GAAP, IAS)

The IDES
Strategic Business Unit
Division
model group is based in the USA. It comprises three enterprises:
 The corporate head office, IDES Palo Alto (company code C100, company C10000, business area
Pharma) produces pharmaceuticals (analgesics and anti-diabetic agents) and delivers the antidiabetic agents to IDES New York for sale and distribution.
 IDES Chicago (company code C300, company C30000) operates in the business areas Chemicals
and Services.
The company supplies IDES Palo Alto and IDES New York with raw materials and packaging
material from the business area Chemicals.
IDES Chicago carries out market research in the business area Services, the results of which are sold
to external companies and IDES Palo Alto.
 IDES New York (company code C200, company C20000, business area Pharma) sells and
distributes the products manufactured by both companies.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 1-12

The IDES model group has divided its enterprises into the segments Pharma /Chemicals, Services, and
Corporate and Others.
 The strategic business unit Pharma consists of two divisions:
 Painkillers, with the product lines
­ Mono (products AS and PCM)
­ Combo (compound preparations)
 Diabetical products, with the product lines
­ Human based insulin
­ Animal based Insulin
 The strategic business unit Pharma is represented by business area 6000, and by a node in the profit
center hierarchy.
This enables you, on the one hand, to create external reports according to international rules for
reporting, and on the other to compare values from internal and external dimensions with one another.
 Since these business units supply each other, partner relationships have to be assigned to the transaction
applications so that internal business volume, as well as payables and receivables can be eliminated at
the group level.

The internal structure of the enterprise is reflected in the organizational elements of external accounting
(for a segment report procedure according to international rules).
In EC-CS, three consolidation types are provided for use in integration with SAP transaction
applications:
 Company consolidation
 Business area consolidation
 Profit center consolidation
These consolidation types are displayed in dimensions. Dimensions allow various views of the
consolidation data. These can be stored and managed separately for each dimension.
A dimension can contain several hierarchies according to various statutory or internal requirements. For
example, for a business area consolidation dimension:
 Reflect the business areas with reference to the legal companies
 Breakdown of the group according to group areas.
The business object consolidation unit is the smallest unit in group structuring on the basis of which
complete consolidation can be carried out.
The business object consolidation group is an arbitrary grouping of several consolidation units for the
purpose of consolidation and reporting.
The consolidation units and groups are assigned hierarchically to a top consolidation group. A dimension
comprises at least one hierarchy structure.

If you use consolidation with integration to general ledger or profit center accounting, you generate the
consolidation units and groups from the organizational units of the respective operating applications.
 The consolidation groups are defined by the profit centers and hierarchy nodes, the consolidation unit is
built by the profit center and the company.

EC-CS consolidates on the basis of the organizational units company, business area, and profit center
and is optimally integrated with these systems.
 If the transaction applications and the Consolidation system are all in the same client of the same system,
data can be transferred to the Consolidation system online (in realtime).
 Additionally, data can be transferred by periodic extract or rollup from non-SAP systems.


For internal group reporting consolidation can be executed on different levels of the company.
You can calculate key figures on different internal levels. They are used for internal/external evaluation
of companies and for managing the company.
 For example, on product line level, you can define a profit center as an independent area of
responsibility and analyze its profitability by key figures. Key figures can be used both as targets and as
incentives.
 Consolidated data are particularly suitable for performance figures because of its aggregated data.

Integrated Data Transfer: FI Business Scenario
 The company puts you in charge of preparing external and
internal consolidation types.
 Before you can transfer data from the sender system to the
Consolidation system, you will have to analyze the various
integration options, and acquire an overview of the various
upstream components.
 Next, in the sender system, you will prepare the structures for
transferring the data to the Consolidation system.
When you do this, the enterprise structure of the upstream
components will be linked with those of the Consolidation
system, and the consolidation units and groups will be
generated in the Consolidation system.
 You then decide how you will supply the consolidation types
with values from the sender systems, and choose the
appropriate data transfer method.


Consolidation is centered on grouping together data from individual elements of an organization to form
a unified whole. The aim of consolidation is to show only the external relationships, and to eliminate
internal connections and processes.
 Against this background, two types of master data are of primary importance:
 The organizational units themselves, together with their structure, and
 The financial statement items, whose structure determines the content of the data.
 The financial statement item is the basis of entries, postings, and reporting within consolidation. Its use
is not merely confined to variables from financial statements, income statements, or appropriation of
retained earnings that are relevant to financial accounting. Statistical information and key figures can
also be managed using financial statement items. In the Consolidation system, their properties attributes
are determined on the basis of the FS item type, where-applied indicator, FS item category, debit/credit
sign, and breakdown category.
 Subitem: A subitem is an optional additional account assignment. For example, financial statement items
for fixed assets may have to be additionally assigned with transaction types so that all changes in the
financial statement items are shown from the opening to the closing balance.

A dimension defines a specific characteristic of group reporting - for example, company consolidation,
business area consolidation, or profit center consolidation.
Organizational units and control data are defined according to the dimension.
Consolidation charts of accounts and consolidation versions are defined for all dimensions.
In reports, the data for various dimensions can be evaluated together.
The consolidation units and groups are assigned hierarchically to a top consolidation group.
A dimension comprises at least one hierarchy structure.
A dimension can contain several hierarchies according to various statutory or internal requirements. For
example, for a "business area consolidation" dimension:
 Reflect the business areas with reference to the legal companies
 Break down the group according to group areas.

well as all the financial statement items in an income statement) can be assigned directly to the business
area. The balance sheet items bank, equity, and taxes, on the other hand, cannot be assigned, or can only
be indirectly assigned manually.
 The business transactions are transferred online or periodically to the consolidation units. The
consolidation unit is derived on the basis of the combination of the legal entity company and the business
area, or the consolidation business area.
 For the purposes of consolidation, particular business areas can be grouped together into consolidation
business areas.


Inventory valuations can differ depending on whether they are carried out from the point of view of local
trade law, tax law, or the group.
The valuation results from individual valuations of subsidiary ledgers are posted in summarized form to
separate accounts in Financial Accounting.
The various balance sheets and profit and loss statements are generated in individual financial statements
by means of different assignments to the accounts in the financial statement structures.
This enables you to maintain consolidated financial statements in parallel according to various statutory
accounting requirements.
 In consolidation, the versions serve to maintain separate datasets in the consolidation database so that
alternative consolidations can be managed.
This means that various data categories (such as actual, plan, and budget data) can be maintained and
consolidated.
 You can also carry out simulations, for example on the basis of different exchange rates or changes in
the group structure.
 A consolidation version is composed of special versions.
These are methods and tasks that cover the various areas of consolidation.
This enables you to define various consolidation versions that differ only in one or a few areas, but
otherwise refer to the same special version (that is, data is not redundant).

The ledger is an area of the ECMCT totals table. It contains specifications for the data records that you
work with during a terminal session.
 The data in the ECMCT totals table can be maintained in three currencies:
 Transaction currency
 Currency of the consolidation unit
 Ledger currency
The ledger currency specifies the currency of the consolidation group.
 SAP delivers the standard ledger "1C" for consolidation. This ledger is not for use in a live customer
system. Please create a new ledger (using ledger "1C" as a copy template).
 If you consolidate consolidation groups in different currencies, you also need additional ledgers, since
each ledger is always maintained in one currency. If, for example, you want to consolidate one
consolidation group in USD and another consolidation group in EURO, you require a ledger with the
ledger currency USD, and another ledger with the ledger currency EURO.


Consolidation is equipped with its own consolidation chart of accounts, which is not linked to the charts
of accounts in FI. The consolidation items usually correspond to the group accounts, the financial
statement items of a financial statement version, or to the transaction accounts (if these are unique).
The consolidation chart of accounts can be generated from these structures automatically.
The consolidation chart of accounts is a systematically structured directory of FS items that belong
together. The grouping is based on external and/or internal requirements. For example, you can define
one consolidation chart of accounts to accommodate the requirements of the particular legal reporting
rules, and one to meet internal requirements.
Within a consolidation dimension, you can use several consolidation charts of accounts to generate
consolidated financial statements in parallel.
Financial statement items are of central importance in data transfer, posting, and reporting.
The system reads the breakdown category from the master data of the financial statement item, and
determines the breakdown according to additional account assignments. If an item is broken down by
subitems, the system determines the sender field of the transaction data structures on the basis of the
subitem category. It then copies the value of the sender field to the subitem.
If an item is broken down by partner, the system converts the code of the partner assignment in the
transaction data to the partner unit.

The financial statement item is the basis of account assignment in the Consolidation system. It identifies
a value or quantity specification according to cause, and can be differentiated by further additional
account assignments.
You can save short, medium, and long descriptive texts for each financial statement item.
The FS item type gives a concrete specification of the attributes of a financial statement item with
respect to entries, updates, and processing in evaluations.
The following financial statement items types are available:
value items, totals items, and text items.
Where-applied indicator: The where-applied indicator is used to specify whether the financial statement
item should belong to assets, liabilities and owner's equity, income statements, or statistical items.
The FS item category can be freely defined by the user, for example to mark financial statement items as
key figure items.
The additional account assignments to be managed for each financial statement item are specified via the
breakdown category.
 A fixed allocation of additional account assignments may be required (for example, the specification
of the partner unit in receivable and payables items that is required to carry out an elimination of IU
payables and receivables).
 In the above example, the breakdown category '1000' for asset transactions defines a transaction type
as a necessary subassignment.

Subitems enable you to break down FS item values further. It may, for example, be necessary to
additionally assign financial statement items in transferred assets with different transaction types so that
all changes to the items are shown from the opening to the closing balance.
 The subitems are grouped into subitem categories, in order to distinguish the transaction types in
transferred assets from those in equity, for example.
Only one subitem category can be assigned to a particular financial statement item in EC-CS.
In an integrated SAP environment, you can define a sender field (transaction type, for example, or
customer country) for each subitem category.
 The Consolidation system has 6 flexible account assignments that can be supplied from the Accounting
system: transaction type, functional area, business area, country of customer, cost center, and G/L
account. Default subitems are provided for each of the subitem categories in the consolidation charts of
accounts supplied with the system.
With the help of custom characteristics, you can define your own additional subitem categories and
subitems.
 In an integrated SAP environment, you can define a sender field (transaction type, for example, or
customer country) for each subitem category.
If the data is imported to EC-CS from FI or EC-PCA, the original account assignments are converted to
subitems of the same name.
In the transaction applications, specify that the appropriate fields are ready for input.

The global parameters are used to save important EC-CS settings that typically remain constant during a
system session.
The settings to be saved are specified by the user. These settings can be changed at any time, and remain
available after you log off and log on again.
 At startup, the information from the global parameters is either proposed as a default by functions, and
sometimes cannot be changed on the screen in question. In presentations of consolidation results, as well
as in Customizing, the global parameters are displayed in a status line at the top of the particular screen.
 In Customizing, a colored note indicates which parameter currently affects maintenance. Thus,
maintaining financial statement items, for example, depends on the consolidation chart of accounts, but
does not depend on the current version.

The data source for EC-CS is the FI general ledger, and the company code is the organizational unit.
The FI company code must be assigned to a chart of accounts and a company.
In EC-CS, the consolidation units are generated from the business units (companies and/or business
areas).
In accounting transactions between business units in the enterprise, the relevant trading partner unit must
be stored in the document. This is necessary for the subsequent interunit elimination.
To transfer the data from the transaction sender system to the receiver system, you will make
assignments tailored to the receiver system.
These can be assignments that are equally binding for all consolidation types, such as the assignment of
a company code to a company.
If desired, business area balance sheets can be activated for each company code in FI.
You can subdivide a company code into business areas to generate internal individual financial
statements using freely selected areas of responsibility within a company.
In business area consolidation, a consolidation business area must be assigned from the receiver system.
If desired, you can create functional areas in FI so that the income statement can be grouped according to
the requirements of cost of sales accounting.

If the consolidation and the transaction applications are in different systems or clients, the group
structure must be known in the operational applications, so that the transaction data can be transferred to
the consolidation system EC-CS.
 In the operational applications, the system reads the valid combinations of company codes, fiscal year
variants and business areas and passes these on to consolidation, by download. Consequently in
consolidation, the consolidation units and groups are automatically generated for the business area
consolidation.
 The same applies for the structure of organizational units for profit center consolidation.

The client is the highest logical level in the SAP system hierarchy. This is also the name of the
corresponding logical system in which you work. The settings that you make at this level are available to
all company codes.
The company is the smallest organizational unit for which individual financial statements have to be
created according to the trade regulations in question.
A company can comprise one or more company codes.
Each company code represents a unit that manages its financial statements independently. This is the
level at which the legally required financial statements are created.
The business area is an organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a limited business
segment or area of responsibility in the enterprise to which changes in value entered in financial
accounting can be assigned.
Business areas primarily serve enterprise-external segment reporting, which extends beyond company
codes to the significant business segments of the enterprise (product lines, for example). A segment is
any business segment in the enterprise that can be isolated.
The above example uses the following organizational units:

Companies are the global organizational structures in FI.
You can portray one or more of the client's company codes, as well as internal trading partners whose
transaction financial accounting is carried out in other systems (SAP system or non-SAP systems).
For the purpose of integrated data transfer, you have to assign the company codes of the transaction
system to the companies of the group.
The data to be consolidated can either be stored in the transaction system or distributed over various
systems. It makes no difference if the systems involved are SAP R/3 Systems or non-SAP systems.
The intercompany trading partners on other SAP systems as well as those on non-SAP systems must be
represented by companies in FI.
In EC-CS, consolidation units are generated automatically from these FI companies.
This means that data from company codes to which a company has been assigned can be transferred to
the appropriate integrated consolidation unit.
In a similar way, integration techniques can be used to copy data from other SAP Systems to
consolidation units. Otherwise, data entry is carried out using entry forms, flexible upload, or MS
Access.

In many areas of the SAP System, master data is assigned to business areas. In most cases, this allows
you to derive the business areas and the trading partner business areas automatically.
 In most business transactions, the business area is derived when the data is posted.
If the additional account assignment is not unique, however, the business area is adjusted at the end of
the period.
 Partner-specific information from the combination of company/business area forms the basis for
integrated business area consolidation.
 The posting lines of the accounting business transactions are provided with a trading partner business
area assignment, enabling revenue and expense elimination to be carried out in the Consolidation
system. In the MM component, the relationships between purchase and sales orders are also tracked.

Example of how the business area is derived:
If business area balance sheets are activated in FI, the business area field in the master records for fixed
assets automatically becomes a required entry field, regardless of the update control setting of the screen
layout control for the asset class.
The costs of procurement, goods manufactured, and the depreciation are posted to the business area.
 For cost accounting purposes, an asset can be assigned either to a cost center or to an order.
Both CO objects are assigned to a company code, a business area, and a profit center when business area
balance sheets or profit center accounting are activated.
 When procurement and manufacturing costs are posted to the fixed asset, the business area and the profit
center are then derived from the cost center or the order. The periodic depreciations are also posted to
the business area or the profit center.

Identifying the group-internal posting procedures between affiliated enterprises is an important way of
preparing data in individual financial statements.
SAP stores the "Sender-Receiver" relationship at the document level in Financial Accounting. The
balances are handled in consolidation with the additional account assignment trading partner.
The relevant trading partner number is stored in the customer/vendor master record.
To allow entries in the "Trading partner" field, this field has to be set to "Optional entry" in the
appropriate account group of the master data ("General data, control" field status group).
When postings are made to this account, the company number is copied to the line item, and can be used
in consolidation for elimination of IU payables and receivables, as well as in revenue and expense
elimination.
The trading partner can also be stored in the G/L account. During posting, it is then copied to the line
item, enabling the elimination functions to be carried out in consolidation.
Alternatively, the trading partner can also be set manually in the document.
For business area consolidation, you also need a reference in FI to the trading partner business area with
which you have a business relationship.
The business area is usually derived from the MM/SD transactions.
To allow the trading partner business areas to be entered for G/L account postings, as well as for
transactions in FI-AP/-AR, the "Trading partner business area" field in the field status group of the FI
reconciliation account must be set to optional entry.


The trading partner in each document must be uniform so that the partner assignment can be duplicated
in the document when company internal transactions are posted. All the customers in a business
transaction must, therefore, come from one company so that the sales revenue line is assigned a uniform
trading partner. Consequently, you have to set the document type parameters to prevent intercompany
postings.
 However, there are also business transactions in which it is desirable to assign more than one trading
partner in postings. In this case, the trading partner for the document is no longer uniform, and the
trading partner is, therefore, not duplicated to the offsetting entries.
This particularly applies to postings that are not sales relevant, such as postings of automatic payments.
Postings to cash accounts are generally not relevant to consolidation, and thus do not require a partner
assignment.
For these business transactions, you can set the document type to permit intercompany postings.
 "Enter trading partner" indicator :
For G/L account postings (without direct reference to item account), document types that permit manual
assignment to the trading partner may be required. Company internal transfer postings in P&L are an
example of this type of posting.

While, in FI, the business areas are valid for all the company codes, during preparation for consolidation
they are assigned to specific company codes.
 In realtime updates, the data stream for business area consolidation uses the document line item to
determine the consolidation unit.
Specify the combinations of company codes and business areas that can occur in postings in the
transaction system.
The system uses these to derive the combination of companies and consolidation groups.
 You can define an account assignment default for business area consolidation.
If business area consolidation is not included in the document, the system accesses a default that you
have defined. However, you can only store one default per company code.
 Alternative:
You can check the assignment of business areas to company codes when the FI posting is made.
You specify this in the data transfer settings for business area consolidation.

Check that the business area balance sheets are activated in the global definition of the company code.
Depending on the objective of business area consolidation, when the business transactions are entered, it
may be desirable to request that the assignments for the business area and the trading partner areas be as
complete as possible.
 For the G/L accounts, specify whether the business areas should be entered as optional or required
entries.
In manual consolidation of business areas or partner business areas, you make this setting using the field
status group in the G/L account. If no assignment is made for accounts for which you have set an
optional entry, the transaction is assigned to business area "Space". On the closing key date, the business
areas have to be broken down manually.
 At period end with the reconciliation of affiliated companies, check whether the payables/receivables are
assigned to the corresponding partners.
 Breakdowns or adjustments according to business area sre carried out.
If business area consolidation is also activated, distribution is carried out according to the partner
business area. For the document that is to be posted, you have to store the corresponding accounts and a
document type in FI.

If, when posting to an expense account, you also assign a cost center to an account (and this cost center
is assigned to a business area), then the business area is also assigned automatically.
If the business area in the revenue/expense line is uniform, it is automatically copied to the
receivables/payables line.
In our example, one document contains several expense accounts that were posted in various business
areas. The breakdown of the business areas is, therefore, not uniform. Consequently, the business areas
are not copied to the automatically generated line items (payables, receivables, tax).
This assignment is made when the financial statement is adjusted and posted to special adjustment
accounts.
In an FI document, an open item cannot have a partner business area. When there are transactions
between affiliated enterprises, the business area is set during adjustment.
During adjustment a new document is generated with a partner business area in the receivables/payables
line. A business area clearing account is used for this purpose.
The partner business area normally has to be set manually for realtime updates in FI.


In EC-CS, transaction types show the changes made to financial statement items.
In FI/FI-AA, the transaction type classifies the business transaction (acquisition, retirement, transfer to
equity account/transferred assets, for example). Transaction types are the basis for assigning a business
transaction to a column of the equity/assets list.
 The consolidation transaction types provided in the standard SAP system are already assigned to the
asset transaction types in a way that allows a group asset history sheet to be generated. If you have
defined your own asset transaction types/consolidation transaction types, or changed those provided in
the system, assign the transaction types to the corresponding consolidation transaction types, or correct
the assignments accordingly.
 The consolidation transaction type can be defined as a required entry field via the field status group of
the G/L account.
 You can define validations that can be used to ensure that only transaction types belonging to a special
group can be assigned to particular accounts. To do this, you define corresponding validation rules at the
document line item level.


The functional area is required to generate a profit and loss statement in Financial Accounting using the
cost of sales accounting procedure. The company expenses that cannot be directly allocated to sales are
distributed to functional areas.
In cost of sales accounting, the functional groups administration, sales, marketing, production, or
research and development are used to show what has caused costs to be incurred in the enterprise, thus
reflecting the economic purpose of the expenses.
Substitution is used to copy the functional area to the documents of financial and cost accounting.
 If necessary, a change of functional area in the form of debit and credit can be taken into consideration in
allocations of overhead costs. In P&L, the functional area that is displayed is the one following CO
allocation, and not that of the original account allocation.
The reconciliation ledger contains the information required to make postings to the relevant accounts in
Financial Accounting.
 Substitution rule: In the SAP standard system, the following trigger points are defined for the FI
component: 0005 (cost of sales accounting). If a particular cost center type is posted to a cost center in
FI, an additional account assignment is generated to the appropriate functional area.

For FI reconciliation postings in CO allocations between company codes / business areas, clearing
accounts are defined and assigned to the business transactions (transfer postings, allocations,

assigned now.

Select the companies that are maintained in the same client of your system, and which use the MM
(Materials Master) and SD (Sales and Distribution) modules. The "Read Purchase Orders/Sales Orders"
indicator is used to determine the partner business area and partner profit center in Logistics
applications. The partner business area and partner profit center are derived from the purchase order or
the sales order.
 When business area consolidation is used, the combinations of division and valuation area are assigned
to a business area. The assigned business area is copied to this division in all material stock postings.
 To ensure that the assignment to a business area is carried out for all items, products, and services, the
"division" field should be set as a required entry when the material masters are maintained. In the SAP
standard system, the default setting for the "division" field in the field selection group is 090. However, a
number of other fields are assigned to this group. To ensure that the required entry does not apply to all
the fields in the group, it is useful to define a separate field selection group for the division field.
 Goods movements can result in price differences. In FI, specify the FI accounts which should be posted
in the event of price differences. These can be created as a cost element or defined as not relevant to CO.
If price differences are defined as a cost element, then you should assign a CO account assignment


The EC-CS component provides powerful functionality in both homogenous and heterogeneous system
environments.
The component copes easily with non-standardized key systems (organizational units, charts of accounts,
products, and so on), financial applications, and hardware environments.
The group companies who do not use SAP Consolidation for financial accounting are mapped as
companies in FI. This also applies to companies that run their transaction bookkeeping on a non-SAP
system.
In EC-CS, consolidation units are generated automatically from these FI companies.
This means that data from company codes to which a company has been assigned can be transferred to
the appropriate integrated consolidation unit.
 If the transaction applications and the Consolidation system are all in the same client of the same system,
data can be transferred to the Consolidation system online (in realtime).
 It is also possible to transfer data from SAP systems by means of periodic extracts and rollups.
 Data from non-SAP systems can be imported using special data entry forms, flexible uploads, and
Microsoft Access.


For the purposes of transferring transaction data to the EC-CS consolidation system, certain Customizing
settings for consolidation have to be known in the transaction applications in order to convert the data to
the required account assignment.
 If the consolidation and the transaction applications are in different systems or clients, it is necessary to
transfer the Customizing settings from the consolidation system to the transaction system by means of
download and upload.
 This applies to Customizing settings regarding
- consolidation charts of accounts
- financial statement items
- breakdown categories
- subitem categories
- subitems
- assignment of dimensions/integrated consolidation types
- rules for ID combination
- global settings (for example, Alpha conversion)
 When a rollup of the transaction data is generated in the transaction system, the system uses the
Customizing settings to convert the data. The file generated by the rollup can then be checked and
written to the consolidation system.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 3-7

Specify the group to which the companies of this SAP System report.
Then define the fiscal year variant used in Consolidation. Also specify the Consolidation system, the
consolidation types that are active for integration, and the data transfer methods to be used for each of
these consolidation types.
You will need to make these settings in every client of every system.
 The system reads the consolidation chart of accounts and the corresponding transaction charts of
accounts for every data stream. On the basis of this information, it determines the appropriate item in the
consolidation chart of accounts for each transaction account.
 The system checks the following before the settings can be saved:
 Whether active data streams exist (at least one data stream must be defined and flagged as active for
each data transfer method)
 The assignment of group accounts to G/L accounts (does not apply to periodic extract method)
 Whether a default subitem and sender field have been defined in the master record of the subitem
categories used.
 Business area consolidation:
If some company codes post to different business areas, you can specify here that a check should be run
in the Accounting system to see if a business area defined in the document is valid for the company code
in question.
When the system runs this check, it uses the permissible combinations of company code and business
area that you defined in Customizing.

The data transfer method controls how values from the transaction accounts are transferred to the items
in the consolidation chart of accounts.
If you use the realtime update method, every accounting transaction that affects the general ledger is
updated at the same time in FI and in the totals records of the consolidation ledger.
When data is transferred, the system determines how each data record should be updated in the
Consolidation system. It does this by looking at the definition and configuration of the data streams.
A document is only written to a ledger if the ledger is assigned to all the consolidation units involved
and all have the same fiscal year variant.
When defining the ledger you can specify whether you want to keep journal entry records in the journal
entry table in addition to totals records.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 3-9

In the standard SAP System, a rollup is a tool for transferring data records from a sender table to a
receiver table.
 Generally speaking, the sender and receiver tables are structured differently. This means that rules
specifying how the individual fields are to be transferred have to be defined.
 The standard system already contains rules for transferring data to EC-CS. This means that a rollup is a
user-friendly option for transferring data, particularly from Profit Center Accounting.

The data transfer method controls how values from the transaction accounts are transferred to the items
in the consolidation chart of accounts.
To generate the group chart of accounts manually, you enter the group chart of accounts in the chart of
accounts list in the receiver system and asssign the account groups to the group chart of accounts.
In FI, you define the chart of accounts segment for the G/L accounts in the group chart of accounts.
The consolidation chart of accounts provides a common structure to unify the potentially diverse charts
of accounts of the internal trading partners. Therefore, the accounts in the group chart of accounts must
be identical to the financial statement items in the consolidation chart of accounts.
To transfer the data, you assign the group chart of accounts to the consolidation chart of accounts in the
receiver system.
Preparations in the sender system include assigning the group chart of accounts to a transaction chart of
accounts.
You enter the group account number in the chart of accounts segment defined for the transaction G/L
account. The G/L accounts can be grouped together using the group account number defined in the G/L
account.
You cannot assign a group account to a secondary cost element because it is not an FI account. If the
transaction chart of accounts contains secondary cost elements, you can assign groups of cost elements
to individual line items.

You can use programs to generate consolidation charts of accounts from the charts of accounts. You can
also transfer (1:1) secondary cost elements as financial statement items.
If you wish to bundle cost elements, assign the cost element range to the financial statement items in the

You can check the assignment of accounts and financial statement figures by using reports for analysis
and reconciliation.
You can generate the group chart of accounts from a consolidation chart of accounts.
It is not necessary to create either the chart of accounts or the account group in advance. The system
creates these automatically.
To transfer the data, assign the group chart of accounts in the sender system to the consolidation chart of
accounts in the EC-CS receiver system.
When doing this, you can determine whether you wish to assign ranges of the secondary cost elements
to financial statement items.

You can generate items in the consolidation chart of accounts automatically for secondary cost elements.
In this case, you must specify the controlling area and date to which the secondary cost elements apply.
 Generally speaking, you will not want to generate a separate item in the consolidation chart of accounts
for each individual secondary cost element. Instead, you will group together secondary cost elements,
and assign this group of elements to a consolidation item.
You can group the cost elements together by cost element category, and assign each grouping to an item
in the consolidation chart of accounts. The items in the consolidation chart of accounts must be defined
first, though.
If a consolidation chart of accounts has already been defined, you can decide whether you merely want
to add new items, or whether you want to overwrite existing items.
 When you assign secondary cost element groupings to items in the consolidation chart of accounts, you
specify that cost element groupings should be taken into account when data is transferred.
 You cannot assign a group account to a secondary cost element because it is not an FI account.

 The accounting transactions that affect the general ledger are updated in the transaction figures table and
in the totals records of the consolidation staging ledger (09) at the same time in the sender system.
 Data is selected from the consolidation staging ladger at regular intervals. Data is forwarded using a file.
The EC-CS component contains a program for uploading, converting and updating the extract.
 Ideally, the ledger currency of ledger 09 should be the same in the sender and receiver systems. The
sender system only sends consolidation values to the receiver system, not ledger currency details.
For different currencies you have to carry out the currency translation task in the data monitor.

If you use the periodic extract method for transferring data, there must be a financial statement version in
the sender system, and the items in this version must correspond to the items in the consolidation chart
of accounts.
You can create the item hierarchies of a consolidation chart of accounts from an existing financial
statement version. In this case, you must first define the consolidation chart of accounts for which you
want to generate the item hierarchies.
The transaction chart of accounts can contain secondary cost elements in addition to the FI accounts it
normally contains. If you do not want to have a separate item for each secondary cost element, you can
define items for a specific range of cost elements.
You use the "Financial Statement Version" program to generate the extract in the sender system. You
can then import this extract into the receiver system.
Data is selected via the financial statement version, balance type "1" (balance carried forward up to and
including the "To" period). The data extract is updated automatically in the "To" period defined for the
extract.
For business area consolidation purposes, the original business area is replaced by the consolidation
business area in the data extract.
You cannot use the periodic extract option for transferring 'planned data' since the "Financial Statement
Version" program selects only actual data.

The system assigns the consolidation ledger defined in the global parameters to the integrated
consolidation units.
 If the Consolidation system uses a different fiscal year variant than the units to be consolidated, the
periods are converted when the financial data is transferred.
 If you use the periodic extract method, the system assigns the consolidation staging ledger (which has
the fiscal year variant of the Consolidation system) to all company codes to which a company has been
assigned.

If you use the realtime update, periodic extract, or rollup method, the consolidation units and

 The data transfer method you choose will determine which organizational elements are proposed.
If you wish, you can limit the selection of organizational elements.
 You can define a data transfer method for every dimension.
 You can define several hierarchies with various structures for each dimension. In the example above,
you can see that two hierarchies have been defined for one dimension. In each hierarchy, you map a top
node and the consolidation group of the parent company.
Next, you decide how the consolidation groups are to be broken down - by business area, for example, or
by company.

The transaction systems do not recognize the organizational units of EC-CS. This means that the
transaction organizational units have to be converted to the consolidation units and groups of EC-CS.
 In the example above, the data from the transaction organizational unit "Business Area 6000" is
converted into the corresponding consolidation unit when the data is transferred.
You have to define ID combination rules for every consolidation type and dimension in every data
stream. These rules can then be used to generate the consolidation hierarchy automatically.
 You define ID combination rules for each consolidation type. These rules are used to convert the
transaction organizational units to the consolidation unit.
 You define the rules that you want the system to use to derive the IDs and names of the consolidation
units and groups from the IDs of the organizational units in G/L accounting and profit center accounting.

You can define several hierarchies with various structures for each dimension. The data transfer method
you choose will determine which organizational elements are proposed.
If you wish, you can limit the selection of organizational elements.
If a posting does not have a valid business area, a consolidation group Business Area ”__” is generated
with the appropriate consolidation units.
The generated hierarchies can be postprocessed. You can also make mass changes if you wish.
You can generate lists to analyze the organizational units from different perspectives:
 Transferred consolidation units
 Master data of the consolidation units that play an important role in integration
 Transaction system and client that the unit was transferred from
This function allows you to check, for example, whether the data transfer method was maintained for all
the consolidation units.
In a future release, it will be possible to integrate consolidation units that were originally created
manually. This will enable you to adapt the hierarchy of EC-CS organizational units to take into account
any changes that were made in the sender system.


If you use the realtime update method, the system generates documents. That is why you must define a
document type for each dimension.
 By defining document types, you enable the system to pass on special information to the consolidation
postings: information relating to the database update, how to handle deferred taxes, and what currencies
to use.
 You can use customer-specific documents types for consolidation. These document types are then taken
into account by reports and validations.
 The standard SAP System comes with one standard document type.
If you need to define more document types, proceed as follows:
 Define the characteristics of the document type and the currencies to be posted (realtime update
posting level).
The posting of deferred taxes does not affect the realtime update method.
 Maintain version-based characteristics:
Define a number range for your document numbers.
The automatic reversal/cancellation function in the subsequent period is of no relevance to the
realtime update method.

When data is transferred, the system determines how each data record should be updated in the
Consolidation system. It does this by looking at the definition and configuration of the data streams.
For each combination of consolidation type and dimension, you define the consolidation chart of
accounts and version to which you want the data to be transferred.
More than one data stream can be flagged as active if you use the realtime update method.
For each relevant data stream and dimension, the system determines the consolidation type, and uses this
to define the rules for ID combination.
Before you carry out this step, you have to make the other settings in the section "Integration:
Preparation for Consolidation."
After you have saved them, the settings for data transfer are active, and from this point the data can be
transferred to consolidation.

(C) SAP AG
AC665 3-33
1-3
Additional Exercise:
Explain the difference between a realtime update and a periodic extract to the person
sitting beside you.
If you use the realtime update, data is updated immediately (realtime) in the
Consolidation system. In this case, the group account number must be stored in the
operational G/L accounts. This is identical to the items in the EC-CS chart of accounts
used.
If you use the periodic extract method, data is updated at the same time (realtime) in the
consolidation staging ledger, extracted for the financial statement version by the FI
report, and imported by an EC-CS report. In this case, a consolidation financial
statement version must be defined in FI, and this FS version must be identical to the
consolidation chart of accounts used in EC-CS.
The following prerequisites must be met for both transfer methods:
To ensure that the values can be transferred to consolidation units, the consolidation
units must be formed on the basis of the operational organizational units.
Furthermore, information on the partners involved must be available in the line items of
the operational systems.


The closing financial statement of a year must be the same as the opening financial statement of the
following year. Consequently, the first task (of the data monitor) in a given year is to carry forward the
balances from the previous year to the current year.
 The way in which a balance is carried forward will depend on the item category in question. In the
standard system, you proceed as follows:
­ All financial statement items are carried forward to themselves.
­ In the standard system, income statement items are not carried forward. However, if an
appropriation of retained earnings is required after the income statement has been drawn up, the
previous year's annual net income must be carried forward to the balance carried forward of the
current fiscal year.
­ You can specify whether statistical items should be carried forward to themselves. You do this in
the master record of the item in question.
 If items are to be carried forward, but not to themselves (this is the case with the appropriation of
retained earnings in the balance sheet), you will have to make other Customizing settings.
 The balance is carried forward on the basis of the dimension (per consolidation group or for individual
units), the version and the consolidation chart of accounts.

- Supplier data
 SAP AG 1999

Consolidation of Investments:
The task called "Data Collection" involves entering additional financial data for first consolidation and
subsequent consolidation.
Changes in investee equity and investments are entered in additional financial data for both the parent
unit, and the investee unit.
 Elimination of Interunit Profit and Loss in Transferred Inventory:
You eliminate interunit profits and losses resulting from the transfer of inventory items.
The elimination data is based on the data of the inventory-managing and supplier unit.
The IU profit or loss is the difference between the book value on the individual financial statement and
the production cost. A positive difference represents interunit profit, which is eliminated by making an
adjustment down to the lower level, in accordance with the group's point of view.

When postings are made to bank accounts, the overall balance can be switched to the credit side in FI.
This means that the account balance cannot be represented under current assets.
In the financial statement version, the contra item is used to assign the overall account balance
automatically to the liabilities side of the item "Short-term payables".
 In EC-CS, if the contra item is entered in the FS item table, this means that it is possible to automatically
transfer the balance of the corresponding item when the debit/credit sign changes.
 The transfers are stored in the totals database (at posting level '_' (space).



If you use the realtime update method, the consolidation items are updated every time a posting is made.
Retained earnings are not posted in FI. Instead, they are calculated as the balance of all expenses and
revenues.
 You start this task after end-of-month closing, when all the postings in a period are closed, and post the
retained earnings in the Consolidation system.
If you use the periodic extract method for all consolidation units, you do not need to execute this task.
 In EC-CS, you post this difference to selected items in the financial statements and income statement.
This will then mean that the total of all balance sheet items and income statement items will be zero,
respectively.
You manage the values for annual net income and retained earnings for the same item in the
consolidation chart of accounts.
 If you start this task in an integrated dimension for consolidation type 2 (business area consolidation) or
3 (profit center consolidation), the financial data posted is reconciled at the company code/business area
or company code/profit center level.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 4-10


The concept of user-defined validation is employed in many SAP applications.
Validations are available in addition to the standard checks in the EC-CS posting transaction. You can
run validation when processing the following:
 Document header
 Individual document line
 Complete document
 Validation for a consolidation unit typically takes place after data collection (in local currency) and
currency translation (into group currency).
 Validation across consolidation units or dimensions is essential for ensuring reconciled data in legal and
management consolidation.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 4-11

The currency translation task enables you to translate financial data reported by consolidation units in
their local currency into the currency of the consolidation group.

Currency translation is based on translation methods. You can define several methods for translating
data reported by your consolidation units. However, for each unit you specify a single translation
method.

The type of currency translation you use depends on the relationships between your corporate group and
its individual consolidation units, and also on the economic situation in the countries where these units
are based.
You can define any of the commonly-used translation methods for your chart of accounts (temporal
method, current-rate method, and so on).


The reconciliation of group-internal payables and receivables is often a time-consuming task. SAP's
Financial Accounting application enables efficient document matching to be run during the fiscal year,
thereby reducing the time required for the elimination.
 The consolidation user responsible for a particular company code specifies one or more "partner"
company codes with which reconciliation is to be run. The assignments of customers and vendors to
companies are used to select and display all open items.
 Document matching is a process comprising several steps:
 Documents with the same reference number are identified as matches.
 The system then sorts into groups those documents posted with the same document date, whose values
differ below a tolerance defined by the user.
 The remaining documents are displayed in two windows and processed manually by the user (by
means of mails to other users, notes, subsequent maintenance of reference number).
 You can also access the document matching program from the transaction for reconciling balances when
you eliminate IU payables and receivables. This enables users to perform drilldown reporting right down
to the FI document level.


Example: Company sells a product to an affiliated company.
(The presentation of this processes is in the appendix.)
 If the receivable is paid, receivables and tax in FI are reclassified to the profit centers at the period end
by means of the "Balance sheet adjustment" program.
In EC-PCA, the balance sheet items "Receivables/payables" are then periodically transferred for each
company code.
Other FS items can be transferred either periodically or online, as required:
for example assets, material stocks, work in process, receivables and payables. This enables you to
analyze financial key figures (profit-sales ratio, return on investment) for each profit center.
 For the purposes of profit center consolidation, data can be transferred by rollup.
In this case, consolidation groups are formed for the profit centers to be consolidated.
The consolidation units are generated together with the companies.
The aim of this process is to create financial statements for profit centers in which the internal
relationships between the consolidation units of these profit centers are eliminated.

The profit center is an area of responsibility within the enterprise for which an internal computation of
income can be carried out. You can group your enterprise according to the following criteria:
- geographical (locations, plant),
- functional (production, sales and distribution),
- product related (material groups, divisions)
- according to matrix type (product/region)
 In Profit Center Accounting, you can use a complete standard hierarchy, subhierarchy, or individual
profit centers as selection criteria in the information system. You can use accounts (cost/revenue
elements, P&L accounts, and balance sheet items) as evaluation factors.
 When you maintain the settings for cost accounting, you create the top node or group of the standard
hierarchy.
If your cost center structure is similar to your profit center structure, you can create your profit center
standard hierarchy by copying the the cost center standard hierarchy.
 You can also create and evaluate alternative hierarchies.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 5-6


You store the most important control parameters and assignments in the settings for the controlling area.
When you maintain the master data, you can create the standard hierarchy, profit centers, as well as
profit center groups.
 Dummy Profit Center: This is used in all postings to objects that are not assigned to a particular profit
center. Postings to the dummy profit center also enable you to detect missing assignments.
The data in the dummy profit center can be forwarded to the actual profit center by means of assessment
or distribution.
 You can assign account assignment objects from Logistics and Financial Accounting to the profit center,
and check the assignments.
 Control parameters for actual postings:
Activating profit center consolidation in EC-CS enables you to determine (in EC-PCA) for a client's
affiliated companies which partner profit centers have to be reread from the purchase order/sales order.


When you create a profit center, you can choose the company code(s) in which the profit center should
be booked.
 The consequence of this for postings in FI is that only permitted profit centers can be posted.
 In EC-CS, only the consolidation units of the profit centers and companies that transact in the company
code(s) are generated.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 5-8





The master data of each object to which costs or revenues are assigned contains an assignment to a profit
center.
Deliveries and services between profit centers are also handled.
When an assignment to an account is carried out, the data is automatically updated statistically to the
assigned profit centers, and structured according to cost and revenue elements.
With the help of the assignment monitor for the selected assignment objects, incorrect assignments can
be detected and corrected.
In the case of internal goods movements, the profit center is determined by means of the combination
plant/material. This supports a product oriented or regional profit center structure. The same rules are
applied in the case of sales orders.
If the structure of EC-PCA is sales oriented, however, you can also use substitution rules to determine
the profit center from the fields in the sales order header, or from the sales order item.
This supports a profit center structure that deviates from the product related dimension.
The balances in the individual balance sheet items (for example, assets, material stocks, work in process,
receivables and payables) can likewise be posted to the assigned profit centers. This enables you to
analyze financial key figures (profit-sales ratio, return on investment) for each profit center.


Example of how a profit center is derived:
For cost accounting purposes, an asset can be assigned either to a cost center or to an order.
Both CO objects are assigned to a company code, a profit center, and a business area when profit center
accounting or business area balance sheets is activated.
 When acquisition and production costs are posted to the asset, the profit center and the business area are
derived on the basis of the cost center or the order.
The profit center receives the asset balance sheet value of the acquisition and production costs when the
balance sheet items are transferred.
 In this case, you can choose either periodic or online updating of the balance sheet accounts in EC-PCA.
However, the opening balance always has to be transferred for the first time with a transaction.
 Periodic depreciation is posted to cost center or internal order, and the profit center is derived on the
basis of this and assigned values.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 5-10

Value flows in Controlling and their effects on a group's balance sheet/profit and loss accounts must be
transferred to FI. To meet these demands, CO data is summarized and analyzed in the reconciliation
ledger.
 If allocations were carried out across functional area, these transactions can be entered automatically in
CO, and posted to FI.
You require this information if you want to calculate profit and loss using cost of sales accounting.
 The reconciliation ledger performs the following tasks:
 It summarizes reconciliation of the CO accounts with FI
 It forms the basis for creating allocation postings in the general ledger when there are value flows
between two functional areas.


In our example, the dark-shaded business units correspond to nodes in the profit center hierarchy.
In consolidation, these are used to generate the consolidation groups.
In consolidation, the profit centers are likewise represented as consolidation groups.
The consolidation units are generated on the basis of the combination of companies and profit centers.
In profit center consolidation, you have a number of options for generating hierarchies:
 You can generate one or more consolidation group hierarchies, which show the standard hierarchy or
alternative hierarchies from EC-PCA,
 You can generate consolidation groups that show the companies, and are used for the reconciliation
with the units of company consolidation.
When you create the profit center, you can specify the company codes in which the profit center is used,
and this allows you to focus on the relevant units and groups. In the above example, the Palo Alto
company uses the profit center 'AS'. This allows you to prevent all the profit centers from being
combined with all the companies when the hierarchy is automatically created.
Finally, you should check over the combination of company codes and profit centers.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 5-14

To enable consolidated results to be identified on any node in the profit center hierarchy, interunit sales
(in other words, the sales between profit centers of the same consolidation group) have to be eliminated.
These eliminations require partner information on the profit center/company level.
 The partner profit center and trading partner are determined on the basis of the customer or vendor
master record, and updated to profit center accounting. For this purpose, the companies have to be stored
in a central SAP System, and the SD or MM modules have to be used.
Otherwise, you can determine the partner profit centers by means of substitution rules or via user exit.
 When the sales order for the purchase order is created, the SAP purchase order number in the order
header is entered as partner information.
The relevant purchase order item is specified in the order items, thus creating a link between the sales
order and the purchase order on which it is based.
This data is checked in the sales order if the customer is a trading partner whose partner information is to
be determined.
 When the customer invoice is transferred to Financial Accounting the source purchase order is also
accessed. If the purchase order items are assigned to several profit centers, the sales revenue line is split
according to partner profit centers, and posted to profit center accounting in differentiated form.

If the partners are in different clients or systems, you can maintain derivation rules that can be used to
determine the partner profit center in purchasing or in sales.
The partner profit center is derived from the following source fields or a combination of these fields:
Purchasing: vendor number, material number, trading partner, sender profit center.
Sales: vendor number, material number, trading partner, sender profit center.
 For each derivation step, you can maintain several derivation rules, which the system runs sequentially.
If a default value is found for the target field, this is transferred, and the other derivation rules are not
run.
 You can also use the derivation rules to determine the partner profit center in a client.

If companies are in the same client of your system, and if you use the SAP MM or SD components, then
you store the affiliated companies in EC-PCA, and specify the companies for whom the partner profit
center is to be determined by reading the source purchase order or the sales order.
The reading function is activated for each trading partner in EC-PCA Customizing.
If the relevant enterprise then occurs as a partner, the key figure "Purchase order/Sales order" can be
used to decide whether partner business area and partner profit center can be derived on the basis of the
purchase order or the sales order.
In business area consolidation, the corresponding trading partner area is also determined according using
this procedure.
An example of reading the partner profit center is given in the appendix (stock transport order).

The balances in individual balance sheet items (for example, fixed assets, material stocks, work in
process, receivables and payables) can also be assigned to profit centers. This enables you to analyze
financial key figures (profit-sales ratio, return on investment) for each profit center.
Example of use of an additional balance sheet profit center:
Two profit centers are located in one building. The costs for the building and its maintenance cannot be
allocated directly to the transaction profit center, since it carries product related values.
Instead, on the division level, you can create a balance sheet node and a balance sheet profit center
belonging to it, and can then post the rent to it, for example.
If one of the two profit centers were to leave the building, the increase in costs would not fall to the
remaining profit center or the product level.
On the division level, you can use the balance sheet profit center to evaluate key figures, such as RONA
(Return on Net Assets).
The balance sheet profit center is booked manually. This allows you to decide whether the acquired
shares of a subsidiary should be assigned completely to a division, or to the enterprise as a whole via the
profit center "Corporate and Others"
To check the correct assignment of profit centers, you will carry out the following activities at the end of
the period: check that no dummy profit centers have been posted and that the profit center "Corporate
and Others" contains only postings that cannot be allocated directly.

For the purpose of comparing financial statement values with profit center values, or for subsequent
performance key figure reports, you can carry balance sheet values in particular transaction profit
centers.
When you do this, you decide which accounts should be carried for which evaluations in a profit center.
For example, it is not appropriate to carry investment values on this level, since decisions concerning an
investment are not made on the level of a transaction profit center.
Depending on a subsequent evaluation using key figure reports, you can decide which financial
statement values you want to carry on the balance sheet profit center. This profit center includes values
that do not influence the transaction result of the profit center, but which should allow an overview of
the area.
In EC-PCA, you can define which accounts or account ranges should be transferred on the basis of
transactions. If no profit center is set in a posting, the default profit center of the account range is
assigned.
If you find that the determination of a profit center is not differentiated enough, you can also maintain
derivation rules that can be used to determine the default profit center.

The data for profit center consolidation is received via the rollup data transfer method. To use this
method, you have to define the consolidation units and areas automatically.
The chosen consolidation type determines which organizational elements are proposed.
If you wish, you can limit the selection of organizational elements.
You can define a data transfer method for every dimension.
You can define several hierarchies with various structures for each dimension. In the above example,
one hierarchy is displayed in a dimension. To do this, you create a top node and the consolidation groups
of the internal trading company.
When you have done this, you decide whether you wish to generate the consolidation groups according
to profit centers or companies, for example.
The profit centers themselves are also consolidation groups. The consolidation units are formed on the
basis of the combination of profit center and company.

 SAP AG 1999

The transaction systems do not recognize the organizational units of EC-CS. This means that the
transaction organizational units have to be converted to the consolidation units and groups of EC-CS.
 In the example, you want to transfer the data from the transaction organizational unit Profit Center
C6112 to the appropriate consolidation unit during the data transfer.
To do this, you store rules for ID combination for the consolidation type "Profit center consolidation".
These rules are used to convert the transaction organizational units to the consolidation units.
 You define the rules that you want the system to use to derive the IDs and names of the consolidation
units and groups from the IDs of the organizational units in G/L accounting and profit center accounting.
 If necessary, you can include the controlling area in the rules for ID combination if there are several
controlling areas, and identical profit centers.

In the case of the consolidation type "Profit center consolidation", the system generates the consolidation
units by combining profit centers and companies according to the rules for ID combination.
The system also supports two ways of generating hierarchies:
 Consolidation hierarchy according to the profit center hierarchy
 Consolidation hierarchy according to companies
The hierarchy according to companies enables you to compare the consolidation results on the basis of
the data from external and internal accounting.
You first have to manually create each hierarchy node, as well as the overall consolidation group.
The generated hierarchies can be postprocessed.
You can then generate lists to analyze the organizational units from different perspectives:
 Transferred consolidation units
 Master data of the consolidation units that play an important role in integration
 Transaction system and client that the unit was transferred from

You can generate the group chart of accounts from a consolidation chart of accounts.
It is not necessary to create either the chart of accounts or the account group in advance. The system
creates these automatically.
To transfer the data, assign the group chart of accounts in the sender system to the consolidation chart of

You can use rollups to display the information contained in one or more source ledger(s) in a
summarized form.
The rollup contains a definition which is used to specify how the data is totaled in a target ledger.
At present, the rollup is the only way of transferring data for profit center consolidation. SAP supplies
the following standard rollups for this purpose:
Rollup 0C_PC2CS (sender table GLPCT - receiver table ECMCT)
Rollup 0C_CS2CS (sender and receiver table ECMCT)
This rollup is only required for data transfer between different R/3 Systems.
To transfer data to consolidation, call up the standard rollup from the data monitor screen.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 6-11


The rollup consists of a rollup header and one or more rollup sequence(s).
The header level contains the following information:
 The totals tables from (sender table) and to (receiver table) which the data records are to be rolled up.
Here, the standard rollup for PCA data transfer contains the totals table of profit center accounting
(GLPCT) as the sender table, and the totals table of consolidation (ECMCT) as the receiver table.
 Specify the reset set. The reset set has to be adjusted in line with the Customizing settings.
 Rollup set: the user must adjust this in line with the Customizing settings.
 User exit: the standard rollup contains the standard exit "SC1", which does not have to be edited by
the user.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 6-12

At the start of the rollup, the value fields in the receiver table that are to be filled by the rollup are set to
zero by the reset set.
This resetting of the data in the receiver table is carried out before the actual rollup.
This means that the rollup can be repeated as often as you want.
 In data transfer from EC-PCA to EC-CS, the reset set also serves to identify the data stream to which the
data records are to be posted.
 Consequently, the reset set has to specify a unique combination of the key characteristics version (field
RVERS), dimension (RDIMEN) and consolidated chart of accounts (RITCLG).
It is also necessary to specify the key characteristics ledger (RLDNR) and posting level (field RPLEVL).
 A rollup allows you to write exactly one data stream. If several data streams are to be written by means
of rollup, (for example, transfer of actual data in Version 100 and of planning data in Version 200), then
a corresponding number of rollups has to be defined.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 6-13

Rollup sets are used to determine the maximum data set to be selected for rollup that is valid for all
rollup sequences. This data set can subsequently be restricted at the sequence level.
 For performance reasons, you also have to specify at least the characteristics ledger, record type,
version, and company code.
 The standard rollup also contains an "SC1" exit. In preparations for rollup, this reads the necessary
internal EC-CS Customizing tables with regard to the data streams, rules for ID combination, financial
statement items, and so on.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 6-14

When the values in the receiver table are at zero, and the scope of selection for data is specified in the
rollup set, the data to be selected is read into a rollup sequence one record at a time.
 If you wish to transfer the data to exactly one consolidation ledger, you also have to define only one
rollup sequence.
 When defining the rollup sequence, specify the field movement and the receiver ledger.
 The field movement specifies how each receiver field is filled.
(C) SAP AG
AC665 6-15

There is no corresponding field in the sender table for the consolidation-specific fields in the receiver
table ECMCT. This means that they cannot be filled by means of direct transfer of field contents from
the sender table.
The standard rollup already contains standard exits for these fields, which obtain the required field
contents from the appropriate consolidation tables.
As a rule, these exits are sufficient for data transfer from EC-PCA to EC-CS.
 Each selected data record goes through these conversions for the rollup.
 If further requirements should arise, customer-specific user exits can be defined and assigned. You will
find detailed instructions relating to this point in SAP note 111140.

For the purposes of transferring transaction data to the EC-CS consolidation system, certain Customizing
settings for consolidation have to be known in the transaction applications in order to convert the data to
the required account assignment.
 It is about Customizing settings concerning
 Consolidation chart of accounts,
 FS items,
 Breakdown categories,
 Subitem categories,
 Subitems,
 Assigning dimensions/ integrated consolidation types,
 Rules for ID combination
 global specifications (for example Alpha conversion)
 When a rollup of the transaction data is generated in the transaction system, the system uses the
Customizing settings to convert the data. The file generated by the rollup can then be checked and
written to the consolidation system.


Performance key figures are used by management to specify enterprise goals, such as raising the return
on investment of the operational assets by 10% while simultaneously lowering operational expenses by
5%.
In order to optimally plan resources for the individual areas, the responsible managers specify these
goals in terms of sub-goals.
Achieving these specifications is often also decisive in determining the salary of the area manager.
The performance key figures are also used to carry out comparisons within the industry, or to evaluate
the marketability of an enterprise.
 Examples of performance key figures:
ROCE (Return On Capital Employed): Return on assets
ROCE = NOPAT / Capital employed:
Return on capital employed = annual net income before interest on borrowings, after tax / total equity
 ROA = NOPAT / Operating Assets:
Annual net income before interest on borrowings, after tax / operational transferred and current assets,
and payables

 SAP AG 1999

In addition to the standard FI reports, you can create further reports in the R/3 System, and insert them
into the report tree.
 Cash flow: This key figure uses the cash inflow from sales to calculate the internal financing resources
of an enterprise. In simplified form, an enterprise's profitability/ability to pay is calculated on the basis
of the following values:
annual net income + depreciation + increase in the long-term provisions
 Cash flow does not provide a clear conclusion on the profitability of the enterprise. Consequently, other
key figures for return on investment (ROI, ROCE) and liquidity (working capital, liquidity 1st/2nd/3rd
degree) are generated along with the cash flow key figure.
 In addition to the profit-based key figures, cash flow-based key figures are now being increasingly used.
For example:
 Discounted Cash Flow is a planning tool, that calculates the discounted cash flow for a specific
planning period. This plan figure determines the current potential of the enterprise.
 CFROI: The CF Return on Investment key figure permits comparisons between the return on
investment in the various business areas of an enterprise.
 EVA (Economic Value Added): This key figure determines the value achieved after all capital
investments have been deducted.

 In the IDES model enterprise, the performance of operational profit centers should be calculated using
only key figures with influencing factors that can be completely controlled by the person responsible for

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) =

 The items of the consolidation chart of accounts require unique hierarchies for the totals items.
The key figure EBITDA uses the same value items as in the income statement hierarchy, but with
different totals items.
 This means that it is possible to create a parallel hierarchy node in addition to the normal totals items.
The EBITDA totals node comprises the calculation of the following values:
 Sales,
 Cost of goods sold, and
 Operational expenses
do not include depreciation/amortization of tangible fixed assets and financial assets.
 Advantage: You can use this key figure in all drilldown reports. If the calculation of the key figure
changes, you change it in the consolidation chart of accounts (the data is not redundant).

In this prepared balance sheet, you can compare the results of the profit center with those of external
accounting.
In order to do this, you must have transferred the necessary balance sheet items to the profit centers.
 In EC-CS, you can handle the consolidated values of the business area in various dimensions. On this
level, the following reports are possible:
 Balance sheets
 Cash flow report
 Return on capital employed
You can create the following reports for the profit center consolidation dimension :
 Asset portfolio
 Income statement by divisions
 Return on Operating Assets
 Cash flow from operating activities
 You can use drilldown reports to compare the values from both dimensions. If the business units are to
be reconcilable, the balance sheet values that were handled at the profit centers are essential, and account
assignment objects must be assigned completely to profit centers.

EVA (Economic Value Added): This key figure determines the value achieved after all capital
investments have been deducted.
It permits good prognoses for the future, since the influencing factors are profit-based and not cash flowbased (in other words, oriented to the sales of of the particular business unit).
 The cash flow-based key figures provide a more realistic representation of profits and provide a reliable
criterion for evaluating managers' remuneration packages.
 "Discounted Cash Flow" calculates the discounted cash flow for a specific planning period and
determines the current potential of the enterprise.


The calculation of EVA is made up of several components:
NOPAT (Net Operating Profit After Tax), a profit-based key figure
CAPITAL: total assets - current assets
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), the average costs of all long-term funds. (The costs of
stockholders' equity are the opportunity costs for the investors, since they have not invested their equity
in another enterprise with a similar risk.)
 WACC is the key figure that is calculated from the enterprise figures enterprise-wide, and can be freely
combined with the influencing factors of other segments.
This means that you can work with the EVA key figure even at the lowest level of the enterprise
structure, which allows you to maintain optimum warehouse stock, for example.
 Data from banks, financial institutions, or industry-related data influence the costs of stockholders'
equity, and thus permit an objective assessment of the enterprise.

The results are determined automatically in the operational units.
In EC-CS, internal transactions are eliminated, which allows the values for the individual business units
to be displayed in a consistent form. The various report categories permit you to reconcile the values
between business areas and profit centers.
 In EC-EIS, the results are presented to the management and analyzed.
Real-time information with a very high level of detail flows into this component from every company
area.
By selecting, assigning, and summarizing the data from the operational area, you can create a key figure
system tailored to your specific enterprise.
 The integration of the transaction levels with the management information level provides consistent
bases for decision making.

Data collection reports can be used to transfer data from EC-CS and EC-PCA to the EIS database.
Advantages of reporting with EC-EIS:
 The EIS database is not account oriented.
 EIS has transactions for calculating key figures that are independent of reports in the system.
 The inSight GUI manufactured by the Arcplan company enables you to portray the key figures from the
EIS database graphically.

The customer creates the purchase order with company code C100 and profit center C6111.
The posting year is 1999.
The supplier creates the delivery with company code C300 and profit center C4311.
Goods issue is carried out after picking. When goods issue and invoicing is carried out, the system uses
the purchase order to determine the trading partner and the partner profit center.
 When the incoming invoice and goods receipt are created, the system uses the delivery to determine the
partner relationship. This means that the document contains the sales item with the customer code C100,
profit center C6111, and the information on the partner units: Company C30000/ Profit Center C4311.
