Study Notes
Additional Master Data for Consolidation
- Define Master Data for Consolidation Fields app allows defining master data (e.g., business area, segment, profit center, customer group) beyond standard general ledger data.
- This supports consolidation processes and analysis reports.
- Enables adding external company master data for group reporting, not present in the SAP S/4HANA general ledger.
- Example: 6 profit center member IDs are consolidated only, representing external profit centres.
- 1009 member IDs are from standard SAP S/4HANA profit center master data.
- Total of 1015 records can be posted via group journals or flexible uploads.
Custom Fields
- Business users often require custom fields integrated into posting and reporting interfaces.
- Example: "Brand" custom field.
- Custom fields are automatically available in various processes:
- Posting group journal entries
- Flexible upload of reported financial data
- Group reporting bulk import/update
- Universal journals release
- Validation rule definition
- Selection definition
- Consolidation process supports custom fields.
- Custom field values are handled differently depending on the consolidation feature:
- Some features keep custom field values in posted documents (e.g., reclassification, balance carry forward, preparation for consolidation group changes).
- Other features do not keep custom field values in posted documents (e.g., calculation of net income, activity-based consolidation of investments).
- Custom fields can be included in consolidation selection objects in certain cases.
Custom Attributes
- Ability to create custom attributes for consolidation units and financial statement (FS) items.
- Example: 11100 - Cash on Hand FS item has a customer-specific "Lifecycle Phase" target attribute.
- Custom FS item attributes can be used in various areas:
- Selection objects
- Reclassification rules
- Totals validation rules
- Group reporting analytics
