Viewing Automated Consolidation Journals

Automated consolidation transactions are automatically created as part of the consolidation process. You can view the transactions as automated consolidation journals, extract the journals to external files, and print them through journal reports.

To generate automated consolidation journals, the administrator must specify the Nature value in the rule file for the consolidation process. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide.

Automated consolidation journals generated from the consolidation process are displayed in the [Elimination] or [Proportion] Value dimension and provide a way to report the amount in the child entity that is rolled up to the parent entity during consolidation. The list of consolidation journals is sorted by Parent Entity and Entity and grouped by Parent Entity, Current Entity, and Nature value.

Note:

You cannot edit, scan, submit, approve, reject, post, unpost, or delete automated consolidation journals. You can only open and view journals, run reports, and extract journals.

To run a journal report on automated consolidation journals, see Creating Journal Reports. To print a report, see Printing Journal Reports.

To view automated consolidation journals:

1. From Manage Journals, select the Point of View as follows:

   • Select the Scenario, Year, and Period for the consolidation data that you want to view.

   • For the Value member, select [Proportion] or [Elimination], and then click OK.

   The system displays a list of journals generated during the consolidation process.

2. Click on a journal to view the transactions.

   Note:

   You can view transactions based on your security rights to the members in the Point of View and to the journal security class. You must also have the Read Journals or Journals Administrator security role.
