Page 5 of 5

ConfigurationDescription

The following global System settings have been made:

• Alpha conversion of CG/CU and Alpha conversion of FS Items havebeen activated.

• The length of the Value fields has been set to 17.

• Sub item category has been set as 1

• Status management has been activated.

• The open periods explicitly indicator has not been set. This permitsposting to any posting periods if required. If set, postings can only bemade to posting periods, which are open, which may not be feasible inthe case of Quarterly Consolidation at ABC Ltd.

Required Fields Alpha conversion of CG/CU, Alpha conversion of FS Items, Length of subitem categories, Length of value fields, Status management activated

ConfigurationPrerequisites

Review the number of sub item categories required, and the maximumlength of the value fields that may be required.

ConfigurationRationale

Global Specifications are settings that apply to the global functions usedin various areas of the Consolidation component. The settings made heretherefore apply throughout the system.The following rationale has been followed in making Global settings:

• Activation of Alpha conversion of CG/CU and Alpha conversion of FSItems alleviates the need to enter any leading zeroes each time anentry is made for a Consolidation Group/ Consolidation Unit, and for entry of Financial Statement Items.

• The length of the Value fields has been set to 17

• Not more than 9 sub item categories are envisaged. Hence the subitem field has been set as 1 to optimise system resources.

• Status management has been activated to allow monitoring of Data

Entry and Consolidation tasks, and to provide a real time status of theConsolidation functions for ABC Ltd as a whole as well as Unit wise.

• In the case of ABC Ltd, where consolidation is carried out Quarterly,setting this indicator would require that posting periods be explicitlyRe-opened every quarter.

53. Transfer from FI Accounting to Conc Ledger

Menu path This program subsequently posts data to the Special Purpose Ledger. It ismainly used to fill a new ledger with data from other applications.

If your ledger already contains data, you should use this program withcaution since it transfers a great deal of data. If the program terminates

when it is running, it is difficult to find out which data has already beentransferred. Therefore, line items should also be written in the case if possible.

The program cannot check whether the documents to be transferred havealready been posted to the ledger.

In the test run, however, the program checks whether the document hasalready been updated in a ledger and prints out a list of these ledgers.However, this is only possible for ledgers with line item update and for documents that were posted beginning with Release 3.0
