RTC_CONS_MODEL - Create Consolidation Model

BAL Application Log Documentation   CPI1466 during Backup  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

In this Customizing activity, you create a Real-Time Consolidation model.

In Real-Time Consolidation (RTC), a model is used to bundle all the definitions, customizations, and consolidated results into an integrated consolidation context. It consists of two parts: one on the SAP S/4HANA Real-Time Consolidation (RTC) side, and one on the SAP Business Planning & Consolidation (BPC) side.

In this activity, consolidation views on RTC side are generated first.

Note: You can also create a model without BPC integration. You can use non-BPC integrated model for group reporting, or integrate with other consolidation systems. In this case, you don't need to execute modeling on BPC part.

• You have both the BPC and SAP S/4HANA environments ready, and they are both in the same instance.

• You have created the required consolidation foundation view in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Real-Time Consolidation -> Consolidation Model Definition -> Create Consolidation Foundation View.

• You have performed the necessary configuration in the activities in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Real-Time Consolidation -> Consolidation Model Definition -> Financial Accounting Preparation.

• You have defined the required dimensions in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Real-Time Consolidation -> Consolidation Model Definition -> Define Consolidation Dimensions.

• You have defined the required version-related fields in the activities in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Real-Time Consolidation -> Consolidation Model Definition -> Version-Related Fields Definition.

1. Create a new model by entering a six-character-long model name and choosing Create Model.
2. In the pop-up dialog, you specify whether the model is integrated with BPC. If it is for BPC integration, you also need to assign a default flow type.
3. Enter a description of the model.
4. In Basic tab, enter dimension, group chart of accounts, and group fiscal year variant. If all entities and the group share same chart of accounts and fiscal year variant, select both checkboxes on the right to indicate the same.
5. In Data Sourcetab, define data categories. You can also choose button Copy from Template to add data categories from existing template, such as template "Actual".
6. In Version tab, define consolidation versions. Click the Add Versionbutton and maintain the three version-related fields and a version description. In scenario of BPC integration, you also need to map a BPC category to each consolidation version.
7. In Consolidation View tab, generate relevant consolidation views.

In BPC Integration scenario, you need to finish modeling on BPC part before activating the model. You need to note down view names with suffix "_BPCUNION", which should be assigned to BW virtual provider you created later. Refer to customizing section "BPC Integration" for more details.

After finishing modeling on BPC side, you come back here to enter BPC environment and BPC model names, and activate the model.

BPC categories can be set up for different data types that you want to track. For example, you can have categories for actual data, budget data, and forecast data, etc. Multiple categories can also be defined to store versions of the same data type, such as 'BUDGETV1', 'BUDGETV2', etc. A BPC category therefore maps directly to a consolidation version, which is a combination of three version-related fields. To integrate with BPC, one-one mapping between BPC categories and Real-Time Consolidation versions must be defined.
