Consolidation Monitor
The Consolidation Monitor is a global dashboard for monitoring the consolidation progress of a specific consolidation scope, which is made up of a category, period, group, or sub-group.
The Consolidation Monitor is a key component in executing consolidations since it communicates to the consolidation engine about the entities on which to execute business rules. For more information about setting up your consolidation environment with dimension properties, model settings, and journal definitions, see Consolidation.
The Consolidation Monitor displays the Group/Entity hierarchy created in the Ownership Manager (only Consolidation type models). For information on configuring an ownership-based hierarchy, see Ownership Manager.
The scope context area displays the selected dimension members: Time (T-type), Category (C-type) and Group (G-type).
An administrator has assigned relevant authorization objects to you for managing Consolidation Monitor and executing business rules. To perform control type tasks, you also need to be assigned the relevant authorization objects. For detailed information about how to assign the authorization objects, see the topic “Authorization for Performing Consolidation Tasks” in the Security Guide available on the SAP Help Portal.
Before running relevant business rule tasks, corresponding dimensions and attributes must be maintained by your administrator. For detailed information, see Business Rules Management.
Since Consolidation Monitor is the central place to trigger tasks defined by certain
business rules on different consolidation models, before you perform any tasks in
Consolidation Monitor, your administrator is expected to have defined business rule
types for the consolidation model in 
Rules 
Business Rules
and chosen the tasks to be run on the model in Rules Task Sequences. For detailed information, refer to Business Rules Management and Set Task Sequence.
In the Consolidation Monitor you can do the following:
-
Execute consolidation tasks
The types of business rules you can execute in Consolidation Monitor include:-
Run Currency Translation
-
Account-Based Calculation
-
Intercompany Booking
-
Carry Forward
-
Elimination and Adjustment
-
US Elimination
-
Change work status
-
Run control
For more information, see Run a Consolidation.
You can trigger any of these tasks based on your business needs. The task status for business rules is by default To Be Executed. After you execute a task, the status will change to Running and automatically turned into Done orFailed upon the completion of the task. If the task is not valid, the status will display the icon of Not Applicable.

-
Display the running processes
All the processes for business rule type tasks can be viewed through Display Running Process. You can display processes only for groups to which you have Read access.
-
Reset the consolidation status
You can reset a Done or Failed status of a business rule type task to To Be Executed, in which case you would then need to run a full consolidation. If an administrator enables task dependency when defining task sequences, all the consolidation tasks after that task also need to be re-executed.
