  • General consolidation - Accounting semaphore concurrence study

CONTENT

1. OVERVIEW

The objective of this study is the technical understanding of the use of the General Consolidation routine (CTBA220) when in competition with another routine to determine if the routine should be run with exclusive access.


Note

For more information on the routine, check the General consolidation routine.

2. USAGE SCENARIO

  • Account for the integration from any module; 
  • Perform general consolidation using the same branch;
  • Observe how general consolidation behaves in competition with other simultaneous accounting.

3. SCREENS

Below is a concurrence test scenario.

  1. Enabling the accounting semaphore

2. Configuring the consolidating branch/target in the MV_CONSOLD parameter 


3. Accounting for a fixed asset inclusion in progress on branch M SP 02 


4. Consolidation starts 


5. Parameter Settings 


6. When confirmed, the action is blocked, since it was not possible to obtain exclusive access to perform the consolidation, as the file is being used in the fixed asset accounting shown in item 1. 




Tests performed that also work with the same behavior:

  • Parallel consolidation with integration accounting using different periods in the same branch.
  • Parallel consolidation with integration accounting in the same branch, starting with the general consolidation


Details

Exclusive access to the accounting file is required only when the accountings occur in the same branch, i.e. integration accounting occurring in the consolidating branch at the same time as a general consolidation (CTBA220).

When the accounting takes place in the branch to be consolidated, which is the source of the information to be consolidated, no exclusive access is required, and both accountings can be successfully performed.


4. ROUTINES INVOLVED IN THE TESTS

  • CTBA220 - General consolidation
  • ATFA012 - Fixed Asset
  • CTBXATU - Generic
  • CTB - Consolidation Script Registration

5. CLOSING REMARKS

      The general consolidation routine currently runs with accounting exclusively in the consolidating/target branch. Therefore, in the restructuring of the accounting semaphore, it should maintain the behavior.
