Understanding Model/Consolidated Field Updates

If a business unit is a model, all of the accounts in the business unit contain an M in the Model/Consolidated field in the F0901 table. Otherwise, the Model/Consolidated field is blank.

If you change a model business unit to a business unit that is not a model, you must run the Update Model/Consolidated Field program (R0006QD) to update the F0901 table. The system changes the Model/Consolidated field to blank for all of the accounts within the business unit.

Likewise, if you change a business unit that is not a model to a model business unit, you must run the Update Model/Consolidated Field program to update the F0901 table. The system changes the Model/Consolidated field to M for all of the accounts within the business unit.

Note:

If records exist for the business unit in the F0911 or F0902 table or both, you cannot change a business unit that is not a model to a model business unit.

The Update Model/Consolidated Field program does not update the Model/Consolidated field in the F0901 table for accounts that belong to a consolidation business unit. Instead, those accounts are updated with a value of C in the Model/Consolidated field by the Refresh Consolidation program (R10862).
