Function documentationRestatement of Add. Financial Data and Group-Dependent Entries

 

When you follow the steps outlined below, you can use the following functions:

  • You can assign special hierarchy versions to restatement data slices.

  • You can enter additional financial data for restatements.

  • You can execute consolidation tasks for consolidation group-dependent entries using posting levels 02, 12, 22, and 30.

Prerequisites

You have activated the Financials, Group Close, Restatement Monitor business function.

You have created a restatement characteristic and assigned it the Restatement role. This restatement characteristic must contain master data. Use of the seven-character field Fiscal Year/Period is not permitted.

Activities

Adding the Restatement Characteristic to Data Streams for Additional Financial Data

To add the restatement characteristic to data streams for additional financial data, proceed as follows:

  1. In the Customizing settings for the data basis, choose the Data Stream Fields tab page.

  2. In all data streams for additional financial data, navigate to the Additional Fields node and activate the Restatement characteristic.

  3. Save the data basis.

Activating the Restatement of Group-Dependent Entries in the Consolidation Area

To activate the restatement of group-dependent entries for a consolidation area, in Customizing for the consolidation area, navigate to the Settings tab page and select the Restatement of Consolidation Group-Dependent Postings checkbox.

Assigning Special Hierarchy Versions to Restatement Data Slices

  1. In the process view of the consolidation workbench, choose Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Versions Next navigation step Special Versions Next navigation step Definition End of the navigation path, and create special versions of the type H0 (Hierarchy Structure).

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Versions Next navigation step Special Versions Next navigation step Assign to Combinations End of the navigation path.

    There is a Restatement node under the Hierarchy Structure node. An entry for each non-initial restatement characteristic is available under this node. Special version 100 is assigned to each non-initial restatement characteristic.

    You can assign a separate special hierarchy version to each non-initial restatement characteristic.

  3. Save your changes.

    Note Note

    The assignment of a special hierarchy version for non-initial restatements applies to all restatement-relevant characteristics with the exception of the Task characteristic. For more information about this exception, see Task Hierarchy for Restatements.

    The special hierarchy version for non-initial restatements does not depend on the field name.

    End of the note.
Copying Hierarchies Initially

Once you have assigned special hierarchy versions to restatement data slices, we recommend that you copy existing hierarchies to the special versions that you use for restatements. You can then use these when you make any required hierarchy changes for the restatement in question.

A tool is available for copying hierarchies between special versions. For more information, see Copying Hierarchies Between Versions.

Note Note

Ensure you copy the hierarchies before you make any hierarchy changes for the restatement in question. You will otherwise overwrite any changes you have perviously made as soon as you copy the hierarchies.

End of the note.
