Preparations for Consolidaton Group Chanes Process

[Former Member]

Hi all

does any one ran Preparation for Consolidation Group change task @ Consolidation Monitor where moving OLD CONS GROUP to NEW CONS GROUP with mimimal changes in other words, as it is to NEW GROUP( change in PARENT UNIT)

my questions:

1. do we need to make any adjustment entries until AFD? think no Change except Parent Unit will change from OLD to NEW

2. Ending period is NEW CONS GROUP Creation @ CG master data level because the same period for PREP Cons Group task

3. how to handle Goodwill in this process where subs were 100% owned by parent units.

appreciated your comments/suggestions/help in advance

If the parent cons unit remains the same there is no need for AFD. Otherwise a transfer is needed via AFD.

Question 2 is not undersood. Please clarify. The ending (divestiture) period in the new cons group should be 012/9999.

I would not expect the goodwill to require any changes.

item No.2 is I have made ending period as 006/2009 for OLD CONS GROUP for all CONS UNITS

Yes, New CONS GROUP is 006/2010 to 012/9999

Please clarify one more thing:

CG1 001/2008 to 006/2010

CU-1 -> PU

CU-2

I....... CG21

CU - 2 ..> PU

CU-220

CU-221

I..... CG2210

- CU -221 ..> PU

CU -222

CU-3

new group: 006/2010 TO 012/9999

CGA 006/2010 to 012/9999

CU - A ...> PU

CU-2

I....... CG01

CU - 1 ..> PU

CU-220 A

CU-221A

I..... CG2210A

- CU -221 ..> PU

CU -222

CU-3

Question: Now in New CG01, CU-1 is no longer TOP PU and its CU-A ( which exist in 006/2010)

What is the process now? still need a transfer and or just ending for CU-1 as 001/2008 to 006/2010

It is very difficult to follow the old and new hierarchies. If there is a new parent unit then transfer of the investment is necessary.

It is also necessary for the CU1 and CU2 to remain in the group CG1 with the master data including the period of divestiture. It appears that they are no longer in group CG1.

Depending on the true hierarchy changes it may be necessary to have divestiture in CG1 as 012/9999 if the transfer is vertical-downwards movement.
