Consolidation Run Options

When you create a consolidation mapping or mapping set you can select any of three run options. You can override these selections when you transfer subsidiary data to your parent. The three consolidation run options are:

Run Journal Import: Checking this option will launch Journal Import after your subsidiary data has been transferred. This creates an unposted consolidation batch in your parent set of books automatically. General Ledger names your batch in the following format: <Date> <Consolidation Name> Consolidation <Request ID>: <Balance Type> <Group ID>; for example, 31-JAN-95 US to Global Consolidation 50835:A 534. You may not want to run Journal Import if you want to schedule your batch processes to run later or if you want to transfer consolidating data across different machines or databases.

If you choose not to run Journal Import, the transfer process populates the GL_INTERFACE table so that you can run Journal Import later.

Audit Mode: Check this option to keep a record of how accounts from your subsidiary set of books map to accounts in your parent set of books. You can then run the Consolidation Audit Report, the Disabled Parent Accounts Report, and the Unmapped Subsidiary Accounts Report to see consolidation audit information.

Suggestion: Use audit mode for new consolidations to ensure that your definition is correct and your sets of books are mapping as you expected. Once you have verified this, you can improve performance by disabling audit mode.

After your subsidiary data has been transferred and you have requested the audit reports, purge your consolidation audit data using the Purge Consolidation Audit Data window.

Create Summary Journals: Check this option to summarize all journal lines that affect the same account into two lines in the parent set of books. General Ledger creates one journal entry line for debits and one for credits to each account.
