How to configure PlugAccts that use both balance and flow type source accounts?

Question

In this application I am maintaining, there is a plugAcct that is account type liability.  The source accounts for this plug account are revenue, expense, asset, and liability (approx 30 accts).  The data in the source accounts balances perfectly by entity.  That is, the credits exactly equal the debits in the source accounts, so the plug account should net to zero at the base entity level (value dimension = elimination).  However, there is a balance in the plug account at the base entity level (value dimension member = elimination).  What is happening is that when eliminations are calculated they are using periodic values for the flow type accounts. The balance in the plugAcct is equal to the prior months YTD total. So only the current month activity is being eliminated.  I changed the account type for the plugAcct to revenue (from liability) and tried again.  This did not resolve the problem. There is no custom consolidation logic in this application.  The scenario is configured for YTD numbers (it is an Actuals scenario).  Balances are always loaded YTD. And yes it is fully consolidated.
Any ideas?

Set up your mac.com account again on devices.  Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate.  Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID.  Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email.  Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.
