4.0 Functional Specification


4.1 General Data/Calculations 

For these reports, it’s important to understand some concepts which will allow the user to work with the reports and analyze the data.

Consolidation View

The query takes the integration rate of the company and the partner from a table managed by GAR.

  • If Conso method = 50 (Equity) , 20 (Not Conso.) or 60 (Not Equity), Rate = 0%;
  • If Conso method = 10 (Fully Conso), Rate = 100%;
  • If Conso method = 30 (Prop), Rate = Integration percentage

In this way, the user has 4 options:

  • Option 0 - Legal view: No intercompany eliminations are taking into account;
  • Option 1 - Consolidated view (for Solvay group): Takes into account the intercompany eliminations (using company code master data);
  • Option 2 - same logic as option 1 but the data is the consolidated view for Eco Companies
  • Option 3 - same logic as option 1 but the data is the consolidated view for Sco Companies
GBU Assignment

The concept for GBU doesn't exist in SAP but it’s a requirement to have in BW since in BFC we have this definition.

This GBU assignment is different for WP1 and PF1 and it will be explain in detail in the Process Definition section.

PRS Concept

The PRS is one dedicated SAP environment (based on PF1) whose aim is to unify some structural information as Master Data information for customers, vendors, company codes, etc. For this, depending on each master data we are referring to, we have specific tables created to maintain the data and have the configuration from source systems to BFC definition and alignment.

Periodic View

  • Only periods up to Fiscal year/Period entered in prompt are displayed (followings are empty);
  • Commitments are only shown in reporting if period entered in prompt is the current one (otherwise, corresponding columns are empty); this is the whole amount of current Commitments, not dependent from Fiscal year/Period entered in prompt;
  • Amounts in CO area curr. can be converted in EUR if entered in prompt;
  • YtD calculation is the sump of amounts from January to Fiscal year/Period entered in prompt; YtD variance calculation is based on CO area / EUR currency.

Selected Quarter View

  • P1Q is the 1rst month of quarter defined according to Fiscal year/Period entered in query prompt, P2Q the 2nd and P3Q the 3rd
    ex.: for 05.2015 = 2nd quarter of 2015 → P1Q = 04.2015, PQ2 = 05.2015 and P3Q = # (empty);
  • Commitments: idem Periodic view;
  • Amounts in CO area curr. conversion in EUR:  idem Periodic view;
  • YtD calculation/variance: idem Periodic view

Quarterly View

  • Q1 is the 1rst quarter of the year defined according to Fiscal year/Period entered in prompt, Q2 the 2nd, Q3 the 3rd and Q4 the 4th. Only quarters less or equal than the one derived from Fiscal year / Period entered by user are valuated;
    i.e.: for 05.2015 entry = 2nd quarter 2015 → Q1 = 01 to 03.2015, Q2 = 04 to 05.2015, Q3 = # (empty) and Q4 = # (empty);
  • Commitments: idem Periodic view;
