Eliminations in Group Reporting with the use of ICMR

[former_member792041]

Hi experts,

Studying on the latest functionality to use ICMR and posting rules to post eliminations in GR we had some questions. In SAP Help Portal it seems that the new task in the Consolidation Monitor replaces the BS IC elimination task. This new addition is really helpful and provides the breakdown and FX impact in the differences while running the eliminations. Is this new functionality only available for the AP or AR eliminations or can be used for the P&L side as well?

Is there any further documentation available from SAP for this regarding the configuration and integration with ICMR?

Thanks a lot,

Lefteris

Hi Lefteris,

We didn't deliver the content for P&L, because not all the P&L lines have the partner unit information. Thus, ICMR recon and elimination cannot run, and the classic one-side elimination is recommended. However, if you make sure that you have the partner unit in your P&L lines, you can use ICMR elimination as well.

There is a useful simulation tool to run elimination simulation. And within the tool, some embedded comment can help you understand more on the elimination algorithm. Check Note: 3110771.

Hi vincezk,

Coming back on the above topic regarding the configuration of the ICMR app.

If you need to run any eliminations based on the above functionality how we approach the ICMR configuration?

I will give an example.

We are using ICMR to match and reconcile the CFIN data (ACDOCA data) on transactional level. Following to this will we need to build a new process (new data source for data of ACDOCU, new matching methods etc) so we can prepare the eliminations in ICMR based on the posting rules? Will it be the right approach or should we examine an alternative? I was searching for more information on the configuration but could not find anything than this:

Could you please advise on the above?

Thank you in advance,
