Consolidate with status

Complete the following steps to consolidate values with status.

Procedure

  1. On the Group menu, click Consolidate With Status. The Consolidation window opens.
  2. Enter the actuality, period range, OB actuality, consolidation type, and group you want to consolidate data for.
  3. Select the relevant Conversion method option button.
    • According to Company Structure Definition - uses the conversion method defined in the Company structure table.
    • Method 1 (Current method) - uses the current method, regardless of the Company structure definition.
    • Method 2 (MNM method) - uses the monetary/non monetary method, regardless of the Company structure definition.
  4. Select the relevant consolidation options:
    • Ignore Invalid Reconciliations and Missing Data: Select this option to run the consolidation even if there is incorrect data or data is missing. If this option is not selected, the consolidation process is terminated and an error message appears. This option is only available if you run consolidation with status. This option is disabled if you consolidate several periods.
    • Submission to Reconcile: Reconciles the selected submission. The reconciliation is performed by submission, which means that the reconciled forms are those belonging to the form set defined for submission one. When running a reconciliation for submission two or higher, all forms belonging to previous submissions are also included. This option is disabled if you consolidate several periods. Note that all submissions on the previous level must be reconciled before reconciling submissions on the next level.
    • Force Consolidation Regardless of Status: Select this option to force the consolidation on companies even if there are no changes of base values, currency rates or historical rates. Note that intercompany balances and/or intercompany profits are always included in the consolidation by status.
    • Schedule Job - The time when you want the job to start, if you want to use the Batch queue.
  5. Click Run to run the consolidation. All data is consolidated for the selected group.
