First consolidation of new entities in SAP BPC 10.1

[Former Member]

Hi, all,

we are with our consolidation model in the integration mode in SAP BPC. We want to post the balance sheet and P&L values for newly acquired entities on an own flow in the flow dimension.

We have also installed an own method for new companies in the ownership model.

In order to achieve to post the values for new entities on an own flow we have designed a business rule  that uses the value of the method for new entities in the Other dimension filter.

Our issue is that according to http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-56512 if the integration model is used the Other dimension filter is disabled.

How if the Other dimension filter is disabled can this issue be solved?

Do I have to turn the integration mode off?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi Gerd,

in your ownership model you have a method which is specifically for new entities. This method can be picked up by the method based multiplier which is then referenced in the business rule.

So I am not quite sure why you need the other dimension filter for this, it should all happen according to the method assigned in the ownership model and therefore the multplier used by the business rule.

Hello, Arnold, thanks a lot for your answer. You have helped me a lot. Do you now the meaning of these settings that are possible in the method based multiplier? I experimented with these settings have chosen New for new entities but nothing happened on the data base compared with not using these settings.

I do not understand the documentation on help.sap.com on these settings.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi Gerd,

A method based multiplier with Type E can be used to eliminate 100% of the data reported by an entity that is consolidated at-equity. You will need a business rule for this but it can be left blank apart from the source and target auditid. The same is true for a type P, but that looks at the percentage given to the proportionate company in the ownership application.

A method based multiplier of type N can be used, together with flow elements with certain flow_types to reclassify opening balances reported by entities that are new to a scope to a different flow. Let's say you have an entity that is already part of scope A but you now want to add it to scope B. This entity will report opening balances as they are needed for scope A but they should not be shown as opening balances for scope B. So with such a multiplier, a corresponding rule and the correct flow, the system will reclassify those opening balances.

The idea behind L and D is similar.
