Entering Percent Consolidations

By default, parents consolidate their child entities 100 percent. You can optionally specify a consolidation percentage. The consolidation percentage determines what percent of a child entity consolidates to the parent entity. The consolidation percentage is stored in a system-defined account named PCON. You can enter consolidation percentages manually in a data grid or load the information through the data load process. See Loading Data.

You can enter consolidation percentages using these grid settings:

• Row Dimension = Entity

• Column Dimension = Period

You enter consolidation percentages using this point of view and entering data at the parent entity cell.
