Summarized Intercompany Elimination Journal Entries
If you use the Journal Entry Summarization on Intercompany Elimination accounting preference, NetSuite groups similar elimination journal entries into a single, summarized journal entry line. If you do not use the accounting preference, each elimination journal entry appears on a single journal entry line. You can change the state of the preference, as required.
If the accounting preference is enabled, elimination journal entries are grouped into a single journal entry if they meet the following conditions:
-
Same elimination subsidiary
-
Same elimination period
-
Same accounting book
-
Same Class, Department, Location, Custom Segment combinations
-
Same general ledger account
The CTA-E line consists of a single detail line with a link to the History associated with the account.
The state of the accounting preference determines the information accessible on the Lines subtab of the journal entry record. When you use the accounting preference, the Source Transactions column provides the number of rows that contributed to the single journal entry line. Click the Rows link to open a details page that displays all of the journal entries that were grouped into the single journal entry. On the details page, click a journal entry link in the Created From column to open the related source transaction. The details page also provides the Consolidated Exchange Rate column. If you do not use the accounting preference, this information is not available because the journal entries are not grouped.
