Realize Cost of Sale with SEM-BCS

[Former Member]

Greetings,

will someone share the experence about consolidation in SEM-BCS with Cost of Sales?

Actually our SEM-BCS is customized for total cost mehtod, after the aquisetion of some new units, we should offer the new units to consolidate with cos. Here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to create a part consolidations enrironment with cos in a total cost method monitor?
2. If we have to change the whole monitor from total cost method to cos, how big is the effort? How to realize? I can just image:
   • we need new FS-Items with additional attributs of the cost center/ cost element.
   • rebuild all of the method and task of the monitor(new monitor)
3. how to get the additional attributte in FS-Items for cost center/cost element? To expend the info object in BW with new attribute?
4. Is there any how to paper about the realization of BCS with COS?

So far all my questions. I'm glad to hear your any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I already implemented the process cost of sales.

Question 1 : Yes

Question 2 : big effort : it depends of your needs

   the link bewteen the FS item and the coster center is 1 : 1 or 1 : N ?

  May be the add the cost center in consolidation model according to business needs

Question 3 : add in BW RSA1 and synchronisation in BCs

Question 4 : I dont think so

Hi,

We operate two P&L structures (cos and total cost) in my consolidation system, but we have one consolidation monitor. In this system the total cost is the first.

So we have defined the cos to create new sub assignment and new attribute of 0CS_ITEM. We create one total cost hierarchy on the 0CS_ITEM object. So we solved the cos hierarchy, that the revenue and income positions (0CS-ITEM) have new attribute of 0CS_ITEM, while cost positions have new sub assignment with hierarchy. Finally we show the P&L hierarchy in excel, where we add together the revenue, income and cost. We used this solution, because they use limited. But it has been suggested that the BW was have created the structure.

With it, that we use one monitor and a kind of consolidation tasks, so we degreased deviations between two P&L hierarchies.

Of course, it must too, that before the BCS it had one transformation, where we transferred the cost centers and cost elements.

I created the new assignment in BW, than the new info object, after that in the “UCWB” transaction I should assign the roles the dice setting. Additional info you can find here.: Business Consolidation->data basic.

Important, the new assignment does not appear in all BCS functions. For example: currency translation, capitalization and valuation allowances, consolidation of investments. It was not problem, because I made one reclassification task after these tasks.

I'm sorry that I have written briefly, but the issue is very complex. If I was short, I can help you continue.
