I want to have your expertise on a quite complex scenario for Consolidation
and Elimination.
P Co. is parent company to S Co.
Cost of Goods P Co. incurred 100 goods @ 100/- = $ 10,000,
P Co. sells goods to S Co. 50 goods @ 150/- = $ 7500
S Co. Sells 25 Goods @ 200/- = $ 5000/-. S Co. Sells these goods to 3rd
party customer
At Year end 25 goods remains in S Co.'s inventory @ 150/-
Journal Entries:
P Co.
Purchases
Dr. Inventory 10000
Cr. Accounts Payable 10000
Sales
Dr. Accounts Receivable 7500
Cr. Sales 7500
Inventory

Cr. Accounts Receivable 7500
Dr. Sales 7500
Cr. COGS 7500
Dr. Unrealized profit/COGS 1250
Cr. Inventory 1250
I have separate accounts for Inter company Sales, Inter company Purchases,
Inter company AR, Inter company AP. Challenge is to make the adjustments in
COGS and Inventory. How can I post these eliminations in MR while
consolidation?
Please suggest.
Hello Afnan,
MR is a pure reporting tool where you cannot add or post transactions.
In your case the issue seems to be the intercompany profit that results from the items sold from P to S.
That is, in P, you sell items for $150 that have a cost price of $100. In other words, your stock goes down by $100 x quantity
In S, your stock value increases by $150 x quantity.
To get this resolved, you can have a look at the following blog posts from MS who published a series of 7 posts on consolidations. Here is one of them.
Would be great if you could review them and let us know if this helps you resolving your issue.
Best regards,
Ludwig
