FIN_ACC_GC_RESTAT: Restatement (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 736), you can better automate restatements (that is, retroactive adjustments to consolidated financial statements). In doing so, you can reduce manual steps and eliminate potential sources of error. This business function also allows greater flexibility in planning scenarios.

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on the User Interface

• Master data for restatements

In the master data for restatements, you can enter new attributes in addition to the restatement period:

• Valid-From Period and Valid-To Period

• Reference

A restatement can reference the original data or another restatement. You can also create a restatement that does not reference other data.

• Methods for automatic data collection

In the data collection methods Flexible Upload, Copy (Method), and Load from Data Stream, you can specify an input type for restatements. In the restatement dimension, you can enter the difference to the reference values or the total values of the current restatement data slice (similarly to the periodic or cumulative input types in the time dimension).

• Task hierarchy

In the task hierarchy, in addition to the task categories supported by the Financials, Group Closing business function, you can also use tasks of the following categories that post automatically:

• Period initialization

• Reconciliation

• Reclassification using posting levels 01, 10, and 20

• Allocation

• Interunit elimination

• Consolidation monitor: status management

Before the system can calculate difference values for a restatement, the relevant totals and documents must be available in the original data and the entire chain of reference restatements. For tasks in restatements, status management therefore takes into account the status of a task in the original data as well as the entire chain of reference restatements. For a task in a specific restatement, status management treats the same task in the original data as well as the entire chain of reference restatements as a preceding task.

• Balance carryforward

In the consolidation workbench, a new Restatement Assignment node is available under Consolidation Functions -> Balance Carryforward.

Using this new Customizing option, you can merge data that you entered in a restatement with other restatements or the original data in the subsequent year.

• Reclassification

In Customizing for reclassification methods, you can specify a restatement characteristic value in the trigger selection.

Using this function, you can merge data that you entered in a restatement with other restatements or the original data within the same year.

Effects on Data Transfer

Effects on System Administration

Reporting Using Restatements

When you activate the business function, and select reporting mode restatement and a selection condition in the form of "restatement = restatement value" in reporting in the consolidation workbench, the system applies the following special logic: Based on the restatement value, the system resolves the entire chain of reference restatements and automatically excludes those restatement characteristics from the selection that are not contained in the chain of reference restatements.

This kind of special logic does not exist by default in reporting with BW queries. If you want to only select the chain of reference restatements, you have to explicitly specify each restatement characteristic value in the chain of reference restatements in the BW query. This may require you to modify existing BW queries. Alternatively, you can use customer exits to implement a similar special logic for BW queries.
