Consolidation

Adding the companies up is not SUM(): translate, eliminate, take the minority’s share, and keep the arithmetic.

Screen	Kind	What it is	Columns	Fields	Actions
Consolidation Groups	List	A reporting entity that does not trade: a currency, a chart, a calendar and a set of member companies.	8	13	1
Group Members	List	How much of each member the group owns, and by which method. Above 50% you consolidate line by line; between 20 and 50 you take your share of the result and nothing else.	9	14	0
Group Chart of Accounts	List	The chart the group reports on. Two companies calling the same thing 6100 and 610000 is the normal case, not the exception.	8	11	0
Account Mappings	List	How each entity’s accounts land on the group chart. A range maps as a block so a new account does not silently fall through.	7	9	0
Elimination Rules	List	What comes out again. A pattern rather than a posting, because a rule that has to be rewritten when a company adds an account is a rule that goes out of date silently.	8	13	0
Consolidation Runs	Read-only list	The arithmetic, kept. Entity total, translation difference, eliminations, minority interest and the group figure — so the bridge reads on one line.	11	0	2
Consolidation Adjustments	List	An adjustment made at group level and nowhere else. A top-side adjustment is the classic fraud vector, so it carries a reason, an approver who is not the author, and a life.	10	12	0
