38.5 Creating Multi-Site Journal Entries for Elimination

Navigation

From Financial Reports (G10), choose Multi-Site Consolidations

From Multi-Site Consolidations (G1021), choose Create Eliminating Entries

You might need to eliminate intercompany transactions at the target location before you run reports.

The Create Eliminating Entries program creates offsetting journal entries to eliminate two types of intercompany transactions:

  • Transactions between companies that are consolidated at the target

  • Automatic intercompany settlements that result from intercompany transactions

The system reads the Consolidation Definition (F1017) table to determine how to process the eliminations. The system creates the offsetting journal entries in the Account Ledger (F0911) table.

You can run this batch program in proof or final mode. In proof mode, the system prints a report that lists the journal entries but does not update the Account Ledger table.

In final mode, the system creates the journal entries in the Account Ledger table. The system prints the report if you set the corresponding processing option.
