Monthly consolidation
Hi,
In case of monthly consolidation frequency and need to Transfer a unit to another group in the hierarchy within
the same month (eg. legal transfer date is March 15th.) , how can you make Data Collection for this unit in both groups (the
old group should receive data from 1 to 15 and new group should receive data from 16 to 31) for the same consolidation
period?
Thanks in advance

Activation of a new SEM BCS instance
Posted on February 22nd, 2006
When a
brand new BCS implementation is started, there are a lot of kinks. These steps below from the OSS Note # 753688 are very
detailed in what needs to be done in that case.
The procedure with the activation differentiates between
an SEM new installation and an upgrade in item 2b (Copying of the example from client 000).
1. The SEM installation is anew installation
The delivery client 000 is copied into a new customer client xxx by client copy. With thatthe content is available in client xxx, however, not active yet. The client is still empty concerning SEM Customizing.
Currencies in SAP World
DIFFERENT
TYPES OF CURRENCIES
TRANSACTION CURRENCY - Currency in which the transaction is denominated.
/>
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY - Currency in which company conducts its business. E.g., some Latin American companies might
conduct business in USD because of high inflation rates.
LOCAL CURRENCY (currency type 10) - normally it is the
functional currency of the country where the company code is registered; legal/statutory currency e.g., CAD for Canadian
company
PARALLEL CURRENCY - Not normally activated. If functional currency is not same as statutory currency,
parallel currency can be activated. E.g., High inflation currency where there is a need to see both currencies at the
transaction level. Defined at the company code. Company will have local currency plus two parallel currencies.
/>
GROUP CURRENCY (currency type 30) - currency defined in client master; normally this is also the consolidation
reporting currency for the group; If using Group Currency in FI it is advised to use Group currency in CO as well.

Clearing Items in SEM BCS
The FS clearing items are created using the menu path Consolidation Workbench>> Master Data>>Items>>Selected Items and they help make automatic postings in the system to the appropriate FS item when entries are made across the balance sheet and income statement.
BW-based BCS: Random notes
Had some old notes for SEM-BCS the BW based version - thought of sharing it with everyone..
SEM BCS
ODS allow to capture the granular details for the transactions.
Run listing in the Cons Monitor instead of the infocube RMC Manage
Flat file or manual – two ways to load data into BCS - even have to convert the SAP R/3 data into a flat file and upload it. (auto will come in 4.0)
