Understanding the Delete Prior Consolidation Program

If you do not delete the information in the consolidation database before you run a new consolidation, the system displays an error message that balances exist, and you must run the Delete Prior Consolidation program (R10861).

The Delete Prior Consolidation program deletes prior consolidation records for the fictitious company from these tables:

• F0901.

• F0902.

• F0911 (if journal entries were made to consolidated accounts).

Fictitious companies and business units are designed for consolidation purposes. The Delete Prior Consolidation program does not delete these items:

• Fictitious business units in the F0006 table.

• Fictitious companies in the F0010 table.

  Important: Delete only the fictitious consolidation company. Be very careful not to delete any actual companies.
