Hi,
The first step in setting up a legal consolidation application set is to ensure the dimensions are set up properly. Each application must contain some required dimensions, while some other dimensions are optional.
The dimensions discussed here are based on the standards used in the business rules. Other dimensions can co-exist in a reporting application but do not impact the business rule function. All applications must contain the four required ENTITY, CATEGORY, TIME and ACCOUNT dimensions (but can be named as desired). The remaining dimensions have the following rules:
u2022 The CURRENCY/GROUP dimension is required for the consolidation and/or currency business rules
u2022 The INTCO dimension used for matching inter-company activity
u2022 The DATASRC dimension is required for elimination and/or consolidation business rules
u2022 The SUBTABLE (flow) dimension is optional, and based on your requirements
You can also choose to set up the following business rules tables for consolidation:
u2022 Currency conversion
u2022 Account transformation
u2022 Intercompany Bookings
u2022 US Eliminations
u2022 Carry-forward rules
u2022 Validations
u2022 Automatic Adjustments
You will have to look at each of the business rules to undertand their functionalities.
Hope this gives you the basic understanding.
