The Consolidate (Impacted Consolidation) option is available for any parent entity with a status of CN or CN ND. When you select this option for a parent entity, the system performs calculations (Calculate, Translate, Consolidate) for any dependent entity within the consolidation path of the selected parent that has a calculation status of Impacted, such as CN, CN ND, CH, TR, or TR ND, on the current period or on any prior period in the current year. Consolidate is the most efficient option because only entities that require consolidation are updated by the system.
Process units with a status of NODATA on the current period and all prior periods are skipped.
Process units with a status of OK or OK SC on the current period are not recalculated, retranslated, or reconsolidated.
If the selected parent has a status of CN or CN ND in the prior period, consolidation runs for all periods from the first period in the current year where the parent is impacted until the current period.
