SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting: Consolidation, Data Collection and Leaving BPC or EC-CS

Keep this: job aid

Group Reporting close and parallel-run card

• Reported data first: ACDOCU level 00 equals each unit's trial balance, FS item by FS item.
• Flexible upload: test import, the right update mode (overwrite for corrections), YTD vs periodic, separators, task log.
• Intercompany FS items need partner units; matrix views also need partner profit center and segment.
• Translation: closing for balance sheet, average for income, historical for equity; CTA on the agreed equity item.
• Eliminations on level 20; every elimination difference traced back to intercompany matching.
• Block completed Data Monitor tasks before running the Consolidation Monitor.
• Matrix check: every view's group node equals the legal consolidated result.
• Exit paper: dates relied on (with sources), history strategy, disposition of every BPC rule.
• Parallel run: frozen inputs, bottom-up comparison, tolerances agreed first, every difference classified.
• Exit criterion: two clean parallel quarter-ends, including a year-end.
