1. Objective and Scope
The objective of the RSB reporting category is to restate historical data (Y-1) with current consolidation scope and exchange rates (Y) and store the results in BFC.
Restated data is used for analyzing economic performance vs the prior year and sometimes for external publication.
Quarterly cumulative data:
P&L up to Underlying EBIT (including Equity results)
Capital Employed ( WC + Assets + Shares)
Changes in the structure are reported by each enterprise/zone using specific flows:
RS00 Historical data (Y-1 Actual2 figures) automatically generated by Activity 1 (P&L + A/R) and Activity 2 (Capital Employed exclude A/R)
RS01 Acquisition (Entrée de Périmètre)
RS98 Disposal (Sortie de Périmètre)
RS50 Reclassifications
RS6x Transfers intra Solvay
RS61 - Inter Markets (Intra BU) Transfers
RS62 - Inter BU (Intra Enterp) Transfers
RS63 - Inter Enterprises Transfers
RS7x Organizational Solvay Changes
RS80 Conversion effect (done by BFC)
RS99 Restated = (Sum of the flows this above)
These structure effects are managed by manual JE or automated conso rules. In principle, no need to generate packages.
RSB category has its own scenario: RSB (version E), scope: RSBSOL and exch. rates version: PREV.
The scope comprises the « ACTUAL » entities + entities GBU (GEST-xxx – Used to generate the structure changes).
RSB it's a multi-period category:
Data entry period = 01.YYYY
Periods = 01, 02, 03...12
2. RSB Reporting Setup

In the Deadline it has to be informed the deadline for package's publication. it has not such an importance as, in principle, there no packages and there's any it will be completed centrally by Corporate Controlling.
3. RSB consolidation scope
There is only one scope per year - RSBSOL 12.YYYY - and it should be aligned with ACTUAL2 scope of corresponding year of restatement (example: RSB 2022/2023 => aligned with 12.2022 ACTUAL2 scope).
BFC Admin starts working in the RSB YY/YY+1 phase in July YY and the RSBSOL YYYY scope should be created by a save as of SOLVAY14 Dec.YYYY-1 applying the following principles:
1) include companies conso at both opening and closing;
2) include companies consolidated at opening and closing even if sold or merged during the year;
3) include companies consolidated at opening and closing even if non conso at opening;
