Verifying an SAP System Consolidation: Reconciliation, Regression and Sign-Off

Keep this: job aid

Consolidation verification card

• Nine layers: volume, balances, open items, subledger, mapping, document flow, intercompany, field level, negative.
• Reconcile both directions: the incoming company code against its source, untouched company codes against themselves before and after each load.
• Merged balance = sum of sources adjusted for intercompany; write the expected result per account.
• Tool fit: LTVF for SAP-to-SAP merges and carve-outs; DTV (DVF) for conversions and upgrades; CFIN comparison reports per source; non-SAP source = report-based reconciliation.
• Automation runs processes and captures values; it does not reconcile ledgers.
• Regression: baseline before each mock, same suite and data after, compare outputs (account, tax, profit center), all company codes in the client.
• Carve-out: negative tests per table and org key expect zero, including central business partners and HR; positive tests reconcile and run the sold unit's processes; both sides sign.
• Access: positive and negative authorization tests per org unit, Access Control risk analysis, cutoff evidence for users, roles, RFC, trusts and SSO.
• Interfaces: connectivity, functional, negative, switch-off, volume and cutover switch, after every mock.
• Cycles tighten: waived in Mock 1, blocking in the dress rehearsal; record every accepted difference with approver; hypercare through the first quarter-end close.
