Use this window to analyze details which are the result of different steps which take place during the Group Consolidation process and Parallel Consolidation process.
The transaction types generated from the different steps of the consolidation
process are:
Translated Balance: The result of a currency conversion between the node
and the consolidated sub level node/reporting entity for the row. The currency
conversion is performed by using currency rates from the currency rate types
defined for the balance version connected to the structure in the Consolidation
Status window. If the node currency is the same as the currency of the
consolidated node/reporting entity, all consolidated balances will still get
this transaction type.
Ownership Elimination: The balance adjustments due to a not fully
controlled reporting entity or node. This transaction type only occurs when the
Equity Minority or Proportional consolidation methods are used.
Profit Elimination: The profit adjustments due to a not fully controlled
reporting entity or node. It represents the profit or loss owed to the
non-controlling interest when the Equity Majority consolidation method is used.
Alternatively, it represents the profit or loss receivable when the Equity
Minority consolidation method is used.
Intercompany Elimination: This type is used for eliminating intercompany
transactions, as well as any remaining differences.
The following transaction types are generated based on the Acquisition Register window in order to post equity elimination transactions.
Equity Elimination - Group: This type is used to eliminate related equity items
and to post goodwill/negative goodwill with regard to a parent subsidiary
relationship.
Equity Elimination - NCI: This type is used to post the non controlling interest
postings related to a subsidiary entity.
Equity Elimination - Amortization: This type is used to post amortization
transactions related to income statement and balance sheet.
Equity Elimination - Exchange Difference: This type is used to calculate and
post the exchange differences on the elimination transactions.
Consolidated Balance: The total of all the above transaction types. This type is
only displayed if the Include Consolidated Balance checkbox is selected in the
Zoom-in dialog box.
Currency Effect-Opening Balances: This type is used to calculate the currency
effect related to the consolidated opening balances. Generally this represents
the difference between the closing rate and the opening rate.
Currency Effect-During the Year: This type is used to calculate the currency
effect related to the consolidated transaction during the consolidation period.
Generally this represents the difference between the closing rate and the
average rate.
Currency Effect-Counter Posting: This type is used to counter post the total
currency effect resulting from the currency effect-opening balances and currency
effect-during the year balances.
The following transaction types exist for the parallel consolidation process:
Parallel Transferred Balance: The parallel consolidated balances
transferred from
a parallel structure node to another parallel structure node in a level above.
Rollback Intercompany Elimination: The balances generated in parallel
consolidation process in order to rollback the intercompany elimination
transactions in the Group Consolidation process. The balances which requires to
be eliminated in the Parallel Consolidation process only contain this
transaction type.
Parallel Dimension Elimination: This type is used to eliminate related
transactions between dimension values based on the parallel consolidation
structure.
Parallel Consolidated Balance: The total of all the above parallel consolidation
related transaction types.
