EPM Consolidatio | Elimination without matched declaration

Matteo Pittonet

Hi

In the case where, within a group, there are no matched intercompany entries but only partial declarations — i.e. revenue declared towards the group (with no intercompany counterparty specified) and costs instead declared towards the individual intercompany, or vice versa — what setup is required in the Consolidation?
We tried creating a Legal Entity of "intercompany type" but we did not achieve the desired result. What setup is needed to handle a scenario like this?

The data record must have an intercompany (IC) relationship, which aligns with your approach of using an IC-type Legal Entity. A common and standard configuration for this scenario is to leave the Contra-Account (Offset Account) field blank within the elimination rule.

By doing so, the system will bypass the standard IC matching process and automatically post 1:1 against the designated IC Variance/Difference Account defined in the rule. This approach eliminates the need for an explicit IC counterparty match and can typically be achieved using standard out-of-the-box system functionality.
