Legal Consolidation

1 UseThis document describes the activities performed in the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation to enable the legal consolidation scenarios.

2 TerminologyApplication SetsAn application set is a group of applications. An application set contains a set of dimensions that may be shared among its applications. ApplicationsAn application is a functional unit used for a particular purpose (for example: finance application, sales application). Applications may share dimensions with other applications within the same application set, or have dimensions that are unique.DimensionsDimensions consist of members. If the members of the dimension are arranged in a hierarchical order, the relationship between members is described with terms such as Parent, Child, and Sibling.PropertiesDimension members are described by properties.DataData is described by dimension members.

3 PrerequisitesBefore you start installing this building block, you must install prerequisite building blocks. For more information, see the Building Block Prerequisite Matrix (Prerequisites_Matrix_[xx]_[yy]_ [zz].xls; the placeholder [xx] depends on the SAP Best Practices version you use, e.g. BPC refers to the SAP Best Practices SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation 7.5, [yy] depends on the language version, e.g. EN for English language, and [zz] depends on the country version, e.g. CN for China: Prerequisites_Matrix_BPC_EN_DE.xls). This document can be found on the SAP Best Practices documentation DVD in the folder ..\[xx]_[zz]\Documentation\; ([xx] depends on the SAP Best Practices version and [zz] depends on the country version).

4 Navigation in the SystemWhen you start the Business Planning and Consolidation application you first see the Launch Page, from where you can select the user interface that you want to work in, for example BPC Administration, BPC for Excel, and so on.Once you have chosen one of the options mentioned above, you see the Action Pane on the right-hand side of your screen, where you can select your tasks and activities. With the buttons

on the top you can see details on the session information, the login information and the current view (CV). You have two options to change the current view:



In this view, choose the links of the application or the dimensions directly to change the view.

In this view, the drop-down list gives you a history of the applications or dimensions you have already chosen in the past. If you want to choose an application or dimension you have not viewed in the past yet, do not choose it from the drop-down list, but choose the entry (for example: Application, Category) to the left of the drop down list.

Below the title, for example BPC Administration, you can choose various tasks.

With the buttons at the bottom you can open other available interfaces or with See Also open the BPC help.At the top of the Action Pane you can navigate back and forth with the arrows. With the Home button you can return to the start page of the specific BPC application you are in.

5 Configuration5.1 Creating a New Application Set

UseBusiness Planning and Consolidation is delivered with a sample application called ApShell. This application set is used as a starting point for the new application set Best Practices Consolidation.

10. In the lower field, choose ApShell as the application set, which is duplicated.
