Consolidation Types

If you want to include one or more companies in different ways into multiple consolidation structures (company trees), you can use different consolidation types to keep them apart.

Examples of consolidation structures are legal structures (LE) and management structures (MG). The consolidation type consists of a maximum of two characters, which means that it is possible to have a number of structures.

You can use this function to define or copy the consolidation types you want to work with in the company structure. You can define the following:

The code and name of the consolidation type.
Whether the consolidation type is active (available in the other screens) or not.
How you want to perform the elimination of the acquisition calculations - on a legal or management basis. For more information, see Elimination for Legal or Management Consolidation.
Whether to calculate the ownership relations automatically or enter them manually.
Specify which legal structure the automatically generated management company structure should be based on.

Note: If you store your intercompany adjustments as group journals each group company has to have a specific group adjustment company connected to it.
