Configuring subgroups

To ensure that correct data is transferred from a subgroup to the corresponding subgroup dummy entity, you must create mappings for the Schedules and Group Accounts business objects.
Note: Ensure you create a unique subgroup dummy entity in the Entities business object for each legal and management subgroup.
  1. Select Financial > Schedules.
  2. For each schedule that has opening balances, create a schedule detail to enable the correct transfer of currency translation differences from a group to entity detail.
    We recommend that you use these names:
    ID Name
    A1_FX_Subgroup Assets Gross Value_Subgroup Currency Translation Difference
    A2_FX_Subgroup Depreciation_Subgroup Currency Translation Difference
    D_FX_Subgroup Accruals_Subgroup Currency Translation Difference
    E_FX_Subgroup Equity_Subgroup Currency Translation Difference
  3. In the Detail of column, assign the created schedule details to relevant schedules in this way:
    Schedule detail Detail of
    A1_FX_Subgroup Assets Gross Value
    A2_FX_Subgroup Depreciation
    D_FX_Subgroup Accruals
    E_FX_Subgroup Equity
  4. In the Rate column, select ! - Use account rate for each created schedule detail.
  5. In the Basis column, select C - Current period for each created schedule detail.
  6. In the list of schedule details, search for the schedule_FX currency translation differences details. In the Group to Entity Detail column, assign these corresponding attributes:
    Schedule_FX Group to Entity Detail
    A1_FX Assets Gross Value_Subgroup Currency Translation Differences
    A2_FX Depreciation Subgroup Currency Translation Difference
    D_FX Accruals Subgroup Currency Translation Differences
    E_FX Equity Subgroup Currency Translation Differences
  7. Click Save.
  8. Select Modules > Consolidation > Profit and Loss, click Configure, and make a note of the assigned Currency Translation Differences group account.
  9. Select Modules > Consolidation > Balance Sheet, click Configure, and make a note of the assigned Currency Translation Differences group account.
  10. Select Business Objects > Financial > Group Accounts.
  11. Create two group accounts to be used as mappings of the configured Currency Translation Differences group accounts for the profit and loss and for the balance sheet.
    We recommend that you use Subgroup in the names of these mapped accounts. For example, if you configured Translations Reserve PL as the Currency Translation Differences group account for the profit and loss, then use Subgroup Translations Reserve PL name for the mapped account.
  12. In the list of group accounts, search for the Currency Translation Differences group accounts that you configured for the profit and loss and balance sheet. In the Subgroup Mapping column, select the respective mapped accounts.
  13. Click Save.
  14. Publish the model.
  15. Run the consolidation processes, including subgroup processes.
