The activity based consolidation of investments feature in SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting Associates documents allows for pre-defined posting logic and custom posting logic1.

In a document type, you can define the reversal document type, number range, and posting level. The reversal document type is used for reversing entries. The number range determines the range of document numbers that can be assigned to documents of that type. The posting level defines whether the document type is used for single-level or cross-company code postings. You can find more information in the SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting documentation under "Document Types".

The consolidation unit master record includes fields such as currency translation method and source for local currency key figure1.

SAP Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation accesses intercompany data from tables ACDOCU (Universal Journal Entry Line Items - Consolidation View) and ACDOCA (Universal Journal Entry Line Items - General Ledger View). These tables store the financial data needed for the intercompany reconciliation process.

According to the SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting Associates documents1, in order to release data from a prior period, you must change your global parameters. Global parameters are parameters that define the scope and settings of your consolidation scenario, such as fiscal year variant, consolidation ledger, consolidation group, etc. You can change your global parameters by using the Change Global Parameters app. You can change the period parameter to select the prior period that you want to release data from.
