Displaying Consolidation Groups 

Use

Consolidation groups are the groups into which the consolidation units are summarized. They can be hierarchically structured, for example, several companies can be summarized to form subgroups at an interim level and the consolidated group at the upper level.

The following consolidation groups have been defined in the model:

Hierarchy 01 (by investment)

CG1 Legal dimension worldwide

CG2 Europe

CG3 North America

Hierarchy 02 (by region)

CG4 Regional dimension worldwide

CG2 Europe

CG5 United States

CG6 Rest of the world

When you display group CG1, you see that this is basically the same data as for the consolidation unit. However, it is important to note that the consolidation groups also contain information about the lower-level units and groups.
