Difference between Single SOB and Multiple SOB
Posted: Wed May 16, 2007 8:16 am
Dear All
Can anyone outline the situation under which the Single SOB with Multiple Values for Balancing Segment is used and the situation under which Multiple SOB's are created?
As for as I know if I use single SOB with Multiple Balancing Segment Values
a) You cannot use this Option if each segment is a separate Legal Entity
b) If you want to give flexibility in terms of Flexfield Definition
(i.e) You have to use same valueset for all Companies
c) Consolidation is little simple compared to multiple SOB
We advise most of the client to use multiple SOB due to following reason
a) Flexibility in using Felxfields
b) Each can be a separate Legal entity
c) In future if they decide to hive off or acquire new company it is easy to separate the data or merge the data respectively.
Is there any other specific reason based on your practical implementation experience?
Looking forward your response
Thanks
