Hi Members,

I would like to know whether consolidation could be done multiple times for the same Entity and also whether reversal of consolidation entries is possible?

Please Advice.

Thanks In Advance

Hi,

I don't believe it is possible to reverse consolidation entries. You can run the process multiple times but it will only bring across new transactions since the last consolidation run.

Thanks,

Shauna

If you run consolidations for a date range that its already been run for, the system will automatically zero out the previous entries. This is essentially your reversal, the system does it for you. So you could run consolidations multiple times for the same entity for the same date range.

I don't see the reversal showing up - does this have to be activated somewhere in the settings?

Hello,

If you perform consolidations for a date range that has already been processed, the system will automatically nullify the previous entries. This acts as your reversal, handled by the system itself.

I'm afraid the replies provided earlier are incorrect.

Consolidation entries cannot be reversed (they are not posted as standard journal entries). However, if you rerun consolidation for a period already run for and there are no changes then the system will post zero value entries.

Reversal of consolidation entries can only be done by manual journal.

Best practice is to consolidate for a period at a time, starting with earlier periods first. Do not run consolidation for a later period THEN an earlier period as the consolidation entries will be cumulative and you will double count your balances.
