Understanding the Refresh Consolidation Program

To create a new consolidation with current balances, you must run the Refresh Consolidation program (R10862). This program creates additional records in the F0902 table for the fictitious business units, accounts, and account balances within the fictitious company that you specify in the processing options. This fictitious company is used specifically for high-volume consolidations. The system copies all of the balances in the accounts to be consolidated into the fictitious company, regardless of fiscal year. The system updates the Model/Consolidated field with C in the F0006 and F0901 tables for the fictitious business units and accounts to indicate that the fictitious business units and accounts were created as a result of the consolidation.

Note: The Refresh Consolidation program does not create a fictitious account if the corresponding actual account has no balance.

High-volume consolidations are based on category codes. You can use either account or business unit category codes. You must set up a separate version for each category code that you use for consolidating. After you refresh consolidations using one category code, you can choose another category code and run the program again. This process creates additional records for the fictitious company.

You can have more than one consolidation at any given time. To do this, set up a separate fictitious company for each consolidation.
