Item to be posted at group level

[Former Member]

How do i manually post a item at PL30. I have created a item as statistical balance without breakdown.When I post Item without CU it does not allow me to post and If I post with CU

than CU gets updated.

Hi VAISHALI MODI,

Please be more descriptive.

The questions:

- CU - it's just ConsUnit or Clearing - Cons Unit?

- What's the offsetting ConsUnit and item?

- Do you really need to post to StatItem on the PL 30?

- What was wrong with changes in CU?

The required entry is:

ITEM / Cons Unit

1. Investment / CU12 cr.

2. Increase in fair value / 4000 (want to post in group and not in unit, manually pl30) dr.

I want to post item at consolidation group level, but it gets posted at cons. unit level only.

The resultant entry is:

ITEM / Cons Unit

1. Invest / CU12 cr.

2. Increase fair value / CU12 (it gets posted at unit only) dr.

Increase fair value is manually created item, we want this1 entry manually only.

As you may see here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/en/3d/c77b3bf7975a03e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

the ConsUnit is required for PL 30. The ConsGroup is also assigned and recorded -- goto totals records list and see it by yourself.

AFAIU, the FV increase item is that statistical one? Then you'd better offset it with also a stat item. If you use investment item in the entry, then, certainly the B/S of the unit will be updated.

If say, I have parent group 4000

cu08

cu09

cu10

child group 4001

cu11

cu12

Is it possible to have parent cu12 in both the groups, can I create cu12 in parent as well as child group. If this is possible then my problem gets solved.

What I can do is I can post in group 4000 at pl 30 if cu12 is there as well and i hope in that case 4001 will

not be updated.

I need a solution such that when I post in group 4000 for cu12 then it should not post/update group 4001.

Right now when I post to group 4000 for cu12 for invest. it updates group 4001. Due to which consolidation

reports of 4001 gets disturb.

Yes it is possible to include cu12 in both groups 4000 and 4001.

However I cannot determine whether the results will be according to good accounting principles as I am unclear as to what the purpose is of doing this type of entry.

Yes, one ConsUnit might be included into several groups. But your scenario is not clear.

cu12 is there in 4001 and now when i try to create in 4000, i receive below errors:

Message no. UGMD304

You defined hierarchy 4000 with multiple root nodes. However, the hierarchy-defining characteristic only allows one root node per hierarchy.

Correct the hierarchy definition.

where do i settings so that it allows multiple root node per hierarchy

OOPS ! Got It, Sorry.
