You can open this form from the Consolidation Code Maintenance form.
To use elimination trees, the Elimination Level must be set on the Global Finance Module Control form. You must select an elimination tree. The elimination tree is a system wide setting. There may only be one elimination tree per system.
You must assign the elimination tree to each company that intends to use the tree, and to the consolidation company. Assigning for both transactions and general ledger account enables reporting by tree in the general ledger reports.
Posting branches must be available to both the subsidiary and consolidation companies and the tree must be available to the general ledger accounts in the consolidation company for posting.
When eliminating by transaction tree, for the transaction code to include in the consolidation, the consolidation must be transaction level. You can set this either with the consolidation code or, if the consolidation code is set to consolidate at the general ledger account, you can set selected accounts to a transaction level on the GL Account Maintenance form.
Opening balance consolidations do not bring through transaction codes. They are summaries of transactions.
Assign only the branches that each company may use for elimination in the Transaction Tree Maintenance posting levels.
Each combination of company and transaction code listed is available to be exported in the Export Elimination Transactions process.
If a transaction is not to be eliminated at the first consolidation level, the transaction code will still be exported to the consolidation company and may be part of a later elimination by setting the consolidation company code with the tree code as an elimination combination in that consolidation code.
