Create Ownership-based Hierarchies
You create ownership-based hierarchies using the Ownership Manager, which is an ownership-based hierarchy editor provided in Consolidation Central.
Procedure
To create ownership-based hierarchies in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, select .
-
The top of the window shows the Category, Time, and Groups setting for the active current view. Use the member lookup in these fields to change the Category and Time members for which you want to create an ownership-based hierarchy. Use the member lookup in the Groups field to specify the member that you want to use as the parent in the hierarchy. If this Group dimension member is defined as part of a fixed hierarchy for a statutory consolidation, this fixed hierarchy is imported intact into the Ownership Manager. In the tree structure to the left, expand the parent member to view any existing children.
You can also maintain children for each group level by choosing a group and clicking Add to add entities to or remove entities from the group.
-
To display all members that have detail but are not used in a hierarchy, select the Show empty option in the toolbar. This function helps assure that you do not forget to specify the method and percentage for newly inserted members.
-
After you create the desired hierarchy, you can enter detail for each child member, as described in the following section, and run ownership calculations.
Enter Child Member Detail
When working with consolidation models, you can provide consolidation information, such as percent ownership, percent control, percent consolidation, and the consolidation method to the child members. You enter this detail in the right-hand part of the Ownership Manager window.
From the window, select the desired child member from the hierarchy on the left. In the right-hand part of the Ownership Manager window, double-click in the Current column corresponding to the parameter whose value you want to update. Select the Update ownership upwards option if you want the updates made to an entity member to apply to all groups (parents) above.
Remove a Child Member
Select a child member in the tree hierarchy and click Remove. If a deleted member had method, ownership or consolidation detail specified, this detail is deleted along with the member.
Copy Ownership Data
To copy ownership data to another period, display the hierarchy in the Ownership Manager Editor, highlight the group dimension and select Copy to from the toolbar. In the Copy Ownership to window, select the Category and Time combination to which you want to copy the hierarchy. If ownership data already exists in the destination period, the copied ownership data is merged into the existing data set.
Cut and Paste a Child Member
Select a child member in the tree hierarchy and click Unpin in the toolbar. Position the cursor at the point in the tree hierarchy where you want to paste the child member and click Pin in the toolbar.
