Incremental Processing of Consolidations

PeopleSoft General Ledger provides incremental processing of consolidations by recognizing lower level tree nodes that were previously processed when running the current consolidation. The Consolidation process uses the Consolidation Set, As Of Date, currency, and tree name of the process request to identify the tree nodes that have been processed, thereby enabling processing of only the nodes under a specified higher-level tree node that have not yet been processed. Incremental processing of consolidations enables you to consolidate in stages while avoiding reprocessing of portions of the overall organization that have already been successfully consolidated.

When reprocessing a consolidation that was previously run (commonly done for late transactions or discovery of errors) and you need to reprocess lower-level nodes, you can select the Undo Previous Process and the Include All Lower Level Nodes check boxes on the Consolidation Request page. When you select the Include All Lower Level Nodes check box, the undo process identifies all previously processed lower-level nodes and reverses them. If this option is not selected, the undo process only reverses the entries that were created from a single process by matching Consolidation Set, As Of Date, currency, tree name, tree level, and tree node as indicated on the current run control.
