Consolidations Overview

Consolidated financial statements are created on the basis of financial

data reported by individual consolidation units.

The consolidation types are represented by dimensions.

For example, you can define one dimension for company

consolidations and, at the same time, another dimension for profit
center consolidations. Each dimension lets you process flexible and,
when needed.

consolidation functions you can use for external (statutory) rendering

of accounts as well as internal (management) reporting

Consolidation type

An indicator that determines the types of organizational units that are

consolidated.

Feasible options are consolidations based on Companies, Business

areas, Profit centers, Divisions or Branches, or the objects of Internal cost
Accounting.

The one-to-one relationship between dimensions and consolidation types

is not mandatory.
If needed, you can portray several consolidation types within one
dimension

Consolidation Unit (0cs_unit)

Smallest element in a corporate group structure that can be used as a

basis of complete consolidation.

A consolidation unit can be such things as a Company, Business areas

within a company, or Profit centers within a company.

What a consolidation unit is made up of depends on the consolidation

type for which you are using the consolidation units.

The consolidation unit depends on the dimension in which it was created.

Consolidation Group (0cs_Group)

User-defined group of consolidation units created for consolidation and

reporting purposes.

The consolidation group depends on the dimension chosen for consolidation

We can use the consolidation group to represent the structure of the group.
Depending on the complexity of your group, you can:

Group the consolidation units into a consolidation group

Create multiple consolidation groups and arrange them into a hierarchy.
Create multiple hierarchies of consolidation groups in parallel to
structure the organizational units according to different perspectives.

A given consolidation unit can belong to different consolidation groups, and a

given consolidation group can belong to different hierarchies.

Consolidation Chart of Accounts (0cs_Chart)

A systematic classification of financial statement items that serve a common

purpose.

The classification is marked by either corporate external and/or internal

requirements.

For instance, you could have one consolidation chart of accounts for the purpose
of generating financial statements to meet the requirements of statutory
authorities, and you could have another consolidation chart of accounts to
accommodate corporate- interna(l requirements for contribution margin
accounting.

Like the dimension, the consolidation chart of accounts is one of the foundations
in the architecture of consolidation.

The consolidation chart of accounts is not dependent dimension.

Financial Statement Item (0cs_Item)

The fundamental account assignment of the Consolidation system.

It forms the basis for consolidation data entry, posting and reporting.

FS items are used for accounting purposes on balance sheets, income

statements or statements of retained earnings.

Financial statement items can be used in multiple consolidation charts

of accounts.

Sub Item (0CS_SITEM)

A sub assignment of a financial statement item.

Sub items are used for further breakdowns of financial statement items.

The sub item is a further optional sub assignment in the Consolidation

system, in addition to partner unit, transaction currency, and year of
acquisition.

Sub items might be used to further classify FS items with transaction

types, product groups, division and so on.

Sub items can be classified using sub item categories.

BW Consolidations Enterprise Backbone Project

Sub Item Category (0CS_SITEMCT)

The sub item category allows you to classify your sub items.

A sub item category is assigned to each financial statement item.

we can define sub item categories for transaction types, product groups,
divisions, and so forth.

Consolidation Version (0CS_VERSION)

Identifies a separate area in the consolidation database.

Versions make it possible to consolidate financial data according to

different criteria.

Manage and consolidate different categories of data separately, such as

actual data, budget data, forecast data, or long-term planning data.

Consolidation versions are Independent of dimensions

Ledger (ZLEDGER)

Contains transaction figures and documents showing the changes in

the values and quantities resulting from accounting transactions.

The currency of the ledger determines the currency in which the

consolidation groups carried in the ledger report their financial data.
This is therefore the consolidation group currency.

If you want to consolidate in different currencies, you need a separate

ledger for each currency.
