Rollup Rules

You can choose one of four rollup rules when specifying segment rules for your consolidation mapping. A rollup rule consists of a Transfer Level value and a Using value, entered in the Segment Rules window. The four rollup rules are shown in the following table:

Transfer
Level
 
Using
 
Resulting Effect
Detail Detail Ranges Maps a range of detail values from your subsidiary set of books into one detail value in your parent set of books.
Note: This rule produces the same result as the Detail Rollup segment rule in earlier versions of General Ledger.
Detail Parent Maps a parent value from your subsidiary set of books into a detail value in your parent set of books.
Note: This rule produces the same result as the Parent Rollup segment rule in earlier versions of General Ledger.
Summary Parent Maps a subsidiary segment parent value into a segment in your parent set of books. This consolidates balances from the summary account associated with the subsidiary segment parent value.
Note: This rollup rule can only be used with the balances consolidation method.
Summary Parent Ranges Maps one or more ranges of subsidiary segment parent values into a segment value in your parent set of books. This consolidates balances from the summary accounts associated with the subsidiary segment parent values.
Note: This rollup rule can only be used with the balances consolidation method.

When specifying a rollup rule, you must enter the Parent Segment Detail Value, Transfer Level, and Using fields. If you select the Detail/Parent or Summary/Parent rules, you must also enter a Subsidiary Segment Parent Value. If you select the Detail/Detail Ranges or Summary/Parent Ranges rules, you must enter Low and High values for the Subsidiary Segment Ranges.
