Group Reporting - Consolidation Unit vs Company

[Private_Member_740375]

I am working on a project where we have two consolidation groups.

the first one has the main holding company and a second holding company with four subsidiaries.

the second has the second holding together with the four subsidiaries.

The problem is that the consolidation units are linked by default to the company in S4, I have in total 6 company codes in S4, two holding companies and 4 subsidiaries, in this case in order to execute the consolidation process correctly, should I create and map one company for each company code?

Grp Reporting Consolidation Units and Companies are always 1:1 . If you have a complex Org structure and can't change it for Group Reporting purposes, we suggest that, leverage the GRDC ( Group Reporting data Collections) to map and transform the data into Group Reporting.

Hi,

actually with the newer functionality of the Preparation Ledger the 1:1 relationship can be adjusted and the process can accommodate the idea that there's a N:1 relationship. Please see the documentation on the functions for the Preparation Ledger.

Yep, I would typically have a 1:1 relationship between GL Company Code and Group Reporting Consolidation Unit, assuming the GL company codes represent a legal entity.
