Strategy for Posting Differences

Use

The system calculates and posts elimination differences for each business relationship between two consolidation units (that is, a consolidation unit and a partner unit). The system posts the elimination difference to one of the two consolidation units concerned.

You can define the strategy the system uses to determine which consolidation unit the elimination difference is posted to.

Prerequisites

In Customizing of interunit elimination, you defined the strategy for posting differences – per method or per method step.

You can select one of the following strategies for posting differences:

  • Consolidation unit from selection 1 or 2

In Customizing you choose whether the system posts the elimination difference to the consolidation unit:

  • from selection 1 or

  • from selection 2

  • Consolidation unit with lower or higher value

In this strategy the amount of the value of the accounting objects being eliminated determines how the elimination differences are posted. In Customizing you choose whether the system posts the elimination difference to the consolidation unit that has:

  • the lower value or

  • the higher value
