Use this screen to identify your company's consolidation calculation method. Before starting the consolidation process, you must select a method in this screen.
The Last Consolidation No. is stored in Project Settings. This is similar to the last number in Costpoint Inter-Company Work Orders. This will be beneficial if you must run the consolidation process multiple times for the same accounting period because you can reset the number in this editable field.
This is the first step in the consolidation process. This is where you will determine whether the accounting process is year-to-date or inception-to-date.
Select the preferred calculation method for the translation of the financial statements. Once you have posted the consolidation entries, you cannot change the method. The Year-To-Date radio button is the default setting for this group box.
The number in this editable field is retrieved from the LAST_CONS_NO column in the PROJ_CONTL table and will provide you with a reference for the last consolidation entry created.
Data entered in this screen is stored in the CONS_SETTINGS table.
