Pre-requisites Restre the IFRS Starter Kit (r, instead, any applicatin with Legal Cnslidatin enabled, i.e. Business Rules based eliminatins and Ownership data). NB: Matrix Cnslidatin may be implemented in a similar fashin with a Finance type applicatin (i.e. withut Ownership data) but this will nt be described in this dcument. Intrductin Matrix Cnslidatin refers t Cnslidatin where nt nly the usual Legal entity dimensin is used but an additinal dimensin, such as Prfit/Cst Center r Business Unit is required. It is nt nly used fr perfrming sme breakdwn analysis, but eliminatins must be perfrmed based n this alternate dimensin. Using the IFRS Starter Kit as a starting pint, and its Cnslidatin applicatin, a new applicatin is then created, called Matrix. Cmpared t a regular cnslidatin applicatin, tw additinal dimensins were added, in rder t reflect the matrix cnslidatin aspects, i.e. Prfit Center and Intercmpany Prfit Center. As a result, we will hereafter illustrate what happens when: A prfit center perfrms intercmpany sales t anther prfit center frm anther Legal Entity A prfit center perfrms intercmpany sales t anther prfit center within the same Legal Entity. In bth cases, intra versus inter prfit center eliminatins will be discussed in rder t highlight the verall apprach and als see what are the limitatins t it. Knwn Limitatins In SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Cnslidatin (BPC), rganizatins (i.e. entities and grups/cnslidatin scpes) car vary accrding t Categry and Time. Hwever, all the ther dimensins are static, which means they have neither categry nr time dependency. As a result, the mdel presented here will use static Prfit Center and Intercmpany Prfit Center dimensins. Eliminatins (s called Autmatic Adjustments in BPC) are primarily driven by Legal Entity and Intercmpany dimensins. As a result, when it cmes t Matrix Cnslidatin, each eliminatin will still ccur based n this fact. S, basically, an eliminatin is triggered if bth an Entity and the Intercmpany entity are being cnslidated under the same nde (i.e. Grup r Cnslidatin scpe). In ther wrds, BPC des nt evaluate as such the Prfit Center and Intercmpany Prfit Center dimensins when it cmes t perfrming eliminatins. Amunts will be eliminated based n the Legal Entity view. Hwever, it is pssible t analyze and grup eliminatins by Prfit Center later n. As a result, Matrix cnslidatin will heavily leverage the reprting/filtering capabilities f the prduct. There are tw cnsequences f this: At reprting time, selectin f BOTH Prfit Center and Intercmpany Prfit Center is critical in rder t identify intra versus inter Prfit Center eliminatins. The eliminatin rule (fr bth triggering and calculating the % t be eliminated) is using entity and intercmpany methd and cnslidatin percents. This means that Prprtinate entity wuld nly eliminate the internal revenue, like 50% f the ttal revenue if that cmpany (and partner) has a 50% cnslidatin percentage. Secndly, if an entity is nly cnslidated with the Equity cnslidatin methd, then n eliminatin is perfrmed, even thugh intra entity revenues wuld be accunted fr in the bks (frm ne Prfit Center t Anther, within the same entity). Finally, the Matrix Cnslidatin mdel is leveraging a BPC functinality in rder t highlight hw intra Entity eliminatins can happen, which is a reflexive declaratin f intercmpany amunts. In ther wrds, a legal Entity will have Intercmpany transactins with itself as an intercmpany entity, but frm ne Prfit Center t anther. Based n these criterias and the entity cnslidatin methd, the eliminatin f the intercmpany amunt will happen. 2011 SAP AG 3
The Step by Step Slutin What shuld be built in rder t achieve Matrix Cnslidatin: Setting up the Matrix Cnslidatin applicatin Using the Cnslidatin app, create a cpy r update the dimensinality in rder t later add 2 new dimensins: PrfitCenter (Prfit Center) and I_PrfitCenter (Intercmpany Prfit Center) In the dimensin library, add 2 dimensins PrfitCenter (Prfit Center) and I_PrfitCenter (Intercmpany Prfit Center). Please nte that these 2 dimensins d nt require any specific prperty t be set. Update bth dimensins with required members as per yur requirements (see the example belw).

Entering Data Case f inter-entity intercmpany amunts (frm a legal entity t anther intercmpany legal entity) Data regin t cnsider Categry: Actual Time: 2009.Dec Entity: CAFO002 Canadian Fd Audit ID: INPUT Grups: LC Accunt: R1100 Sales Flw : F99 Besides that, it is cnsidered that this entity s business is made f 2 prfit centers being P_2010 (Smart PC Security Crprate) and P_2210 (Smart PC Entertainment Sftware). Secndly, this entity is ding intercmpany transactins with anther Canadian entity CAO003, which is being cnslidated under the same cnslidatin nde (scpe). Other: The cnslidatin is perfrmed int Grup NEZONE_N, which uses USD as the cnslidatin currency. In rder t simplify the example further, the exchange rate applied is 1, s 1 USD = 1 CAD. 2011 SAP AG 7
Input schedule screensht As a remark, bth nn intercmpany data as well as Intercmpany data is brken dwn by Prfit Center. Nn intercmpany Sales is 6000. It is splitted ver 2 prfit centers: P_2010 Smart PC Security Crprate fr a CAD 5000 amunt P_2210 Smart PC Entertainment Sftware fr a CAD 1000 amunt. Then, when it cmes t Intercmpany data, the CAD 5000 amunt has a crrespnding CAD 2500 intercmpany amunt with Legal Entity CAO003 within the same Prfit Center. In turn, the CAD 1000 amunt has a crrespnding intercmpany amunt f CAD 500 with Prfit Center BU22010. 2011 SAP AG 8
Case f intra-entity intercmpany amunts (frm a Prfit Center t anther intercmpany Prfit Center within a unique legal entity) Data regin t cnsider Categry: Actual Time: 2009.Dec Entity: CAFO002 Canadian Fd Intercmpany: I_CAFO002 Canadian Fd Audit ID: INPUT Grups: LC Accunt: R1100 Sales Flw : F99 The key pint t be cnsidered here is that, whatever if the intercmpany amunts refer t intra r inter Prfit center, they will be entered against the Legal Entity versus itself as an intercmpany partner. As a result, the eliminatin can take place during the cnslidatin prcess, as lng as the legal entity is assigned the prper cnslidatin methd which implies an eliminatin (Hlding, full r prprtinate cnslidatin). Input schedule screensht As a remark, when it cmes t Intercmpany data, the CAD 5000 amunt has a crrespnding CAD 1000 intercmpany amunt within the same Legal Entity (CAFO002) within the same Prfit Center. In turn, the CAD 1000 amunt has a crrespnding intercmpany amunt f CAD 100 with Prfit Center BU22010. 2011 SAP AG 9
Reprting n Data after Cnslidatin Case f inter-entity intercmpany amunts (frm a legal entity t anther intercmpany legal entity) Checking eliminatins by Legal Entity view Overall, the ttal USD 3000 was eliminated. We will see in the next chapter hw t lk at this eliminatin by Prfit Center. Checking eliminatins by Prfit Centre r The mst nticeable aspects are: The amunt which was eliminated with respect t BU 020 Smart PC Security is 2500 as expected. Hwever, the reprt selectin is key fr identifying intra Prfit Center eliminatins (n tp f having the Intercmpany Prfit Center hierarchy which mirrrs the Prfit Center hierarchy). As a matter f fact, in rder t restrict the eliminatins t a BU, fr a particular entity, the same Prfit Center and Intercmpany Prfit Center must be selected. 2011 SAP AG 10
Hint: Such a reprt will be mre rbust if the current view is setup in a way that the Intercmpany Prfit Center selectin is derived frm the Prfit Center itself. In this example, the Intercmpany Prfit center is using a value being a cncatenatin f I and the Prfit Center frmula value. Anther methd t achieve the same gal (instead f using cncatenatin) wuld be t use a prperty f the Prfit Center telling which Intercmpany Prfit Center refers t it. This allws t perfrm dynamic selectins which are nt depending upn the cding applied t member IDs. Case f intra-entity intercmpany amunts (frm a Prfit Center t anther intercmpany Prfit Center within a unique legal entity) Checking eliminatins by Legal Entity view In this case, the ttal intra entity revenue f USD 1100 was eliminated, acrss bth Prfit Centers. 2011 SAP AG 11
Checking eliminatins by Prfit Center The mst nticeable aspects are: The amunt which was eliminated with respect t the P_SEG2 Smart PC Security is USD 1100 as expected. Hwever, it is pssible t figure ut which way Intra versus Inter Prfit Center Eliminatins were perfrmed by selecting Prfit Centers and InterCmpany Prfit Centers prperly: Only USD 1000 was eliminated fr the BU20 Prfit Center as internal t that Prfit Center. 2011 SAP AG 12
Cnclusin As emphasized many times thrughut this dcument, Matrix Cnslidatin can be achieved in BPC but the reader has t keep in mind sme limitatins. The mdel is driven by the Legal Entity dimensin but A Prfit Centers dimensin (and the crrespnding Intercmpany dimensin) can be setup and utilized t filter intra versus inter Prfit Center eliminatins; Hwever, eliminatins are still perfrmed accrding t the Legal entity (E type dimensin) and Grups (G type) dimensin. This setup is heavily leveraging the reprting capabilities f BPC where data must be smartly filtered in rder t achieve the desired analysis. 2011 SAP AG 13
