To speed up access to the Consolidation functions, you save a default of the current consolidation data for your user. So long as you work with this predefined data, you do not need to repeat the settings for the automatic access. You only need to adjust the global parameters during your session for changes to the dimension, version, fiscal year, consolidation chart of accounts, or ledger.

Therefore, you first need to use the global parameters to set the default settings for your user. Choose Accounting ® Enterprise Controlling ® Consolidation ® Global parameters.

This step is also listed as the first item in the IMG activity Define Global Parameters, to enable their adjustment at any time.
