Special Considerations for Staged Consolidations
For staged consolidations, where you consolidate the local entities first, followed by regional entities, and then global entities, you can take one of two approaches to eliminating intercompany postings from your consolidation:
• Incremental eliminations
Consolidate the management layer containing the elimination postings to a higher level in the consolidation. At the higher level, only create postings to eliminate the intercompany positions at that level.
• Full elimination at each level
Do not consolidate the management layer that contains the elimination postings to a higher level in the consolidation. At the higher level in the consolidation, create new, complete journal entries that eliminate all intercompany positions up to that consolidation level.
