Special Version

A consolidation version that stores configuration settings for multiple other consolidation versions.

Consolidation Version

A version used for storing actual and planned transaction data, separate from each other.

Plan Category

A version that stores plan data, like actual data is stored in consolidation versions. This version maps to a specific consolidation version to use planned data for group reporting.

Consolidation Version: Simulation

A simulation version allows for currency conversion of historical data using current period exchange rates.

Purpose of Consolidation Version

A consolidation version has two main purposes: "Data Tracking" and "Special Version". Data Tracking helps you monitor actual, budget, and forecast data. Special Version allows flexible consolidation without repetitive configuration.

Study Notes

Consolidation Versions in SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Group Reporting

  • Consolidation versions allow for the consolidation of various financial data sets, or consolidation in different group currencies. This caters to diverse reporting needs (actual, planning, restatements, simulations).
  • A key function of consolidation versions is data tracking: it manages actual, budget, and forecast transaction data.
  • It facilitates special versions: this enables quick, efficient consolidation with differentiated configurations without redundant setups.
  • Consolidation versions are essential because they are version-dependent: master data (consolidation units, financial statement items), restatements, simulations, and the setup of multiple currencies are linked to specific versions.
  • Group Currency Determination: The group currency is defined by the consolidation version.
  • A critical function is defining the source Financial Accounting (FI) ledger for copying data during the data monitoring process for each integrated S/4HANA company.
  • Restatement Support: Consolidation versions can facilitate prior-period restatements.
  • Simulation Support: Versions enable currency simulations (using current exchange rates).
  • Multi-currency Support: Versions enable the simultaneous recording of multiple group currencies.
  • Version-Dependent Data: Master data like consolidation units and financial statement items can be time-dependent, enabling change tracking.
  • Version-Dependent Configuration: Configuration elements can encompass plan vs. actual currency translation, enabling nuanced reporting scenarios.
  • Actual vs. Plan Data Separation: Consolidation versions differentiate transactions for actual and planned data, e.g., separating US GAAP and IFRS data.
  • ACDOCU and ACDOCP Integration: Transaction data storage in the ACDOCU and ACDOP tables are version-linked. Plan data categories also require mapping to a consolidation version.
  • Standard and Extension Versions: A main, standard consolidation version is essential. Additional, specialized versions handle restatements, simulations, and additional group currencies.

Special Versions

  • Special versions store configuration settings that are version-dependent.
  • They enable efficient configuration sharing across consolidation versions, simplifying setup for new queries and reducing redundant data.
  • Configuration Sharing: Multiple consolidation versions can utilise the same special version to avoid redundant configuration entries. An example includes using different exchange rates for actual and planning consolidation versions.
