Creating Consolidation Journal Groups

You can create journal groups to classify journals by type, and to filter journal lists. You can add or delete groups, edit group descriptions, and load groups during a journals load.

To access, view, create, edit and delete journal groups, you must be assigned the application role of Consolidation Journals – Create.

For information on working with journals, see Working with Financial Consolidation and Close.

When you create a journal and specify a journal group, the system validates the group against the list of groups and displays an error message if the group that you specify is invalid.

If you enabled additional cubes in the application, you can specify the cube for the group, for example, Consol2. The default is the current cube in the POV. For information on enabling cubes, see Adding Application Cubes.
