Creating an Automated Elimination

Tip: Automated Eliminations cannot be deleted. However, if you create an Automated Elimination in error it can be modified and reused for a new automated elimination.
Note: The dual currency of the selected source companies and the destination company must be the same.
Note: If you retrieve source transactions posted to GLAs that use any currencies other than Dual, then these currencies must be added to the Destination company as accounting currencies.

To create an Automated Elimination:

  1. Click the Automated Eliminations tab.
  2. Click New on the Automated Eliminations home page or click New Automated Eliminations from the list view.
  3. In the Automated Elimination Name field, enter the name you want to use for the Automated Elimination.
  4. [Optional] Enter a description for the Automated Elimination.
  5. Select the Destination Company to be used. Only elimination companies are available.
  6. Select the Destination GLA to be used.
  7. [Optional] Select up to four Destination Dimensions.
  8. [Optional] If the Reporting Currency feature is enabled in your org, select Use Reporting Currency to override the default elimination currency. Ensure all the selected companies have the same reporting currency assigned. For more information, see About Reporting Currency.
  9. Click Save.

To add Source Companies to an Automated Elimination:

  1. From the Automated Elimination details page, click Edit on the Source Companies related list
  2. Select the Source Elimination Company or Companies. Only Companies that are not marked as Elimination Companies are available.

To add filters to an Automated Elimination:

  1. Click the Filters tab on the Automated Eliminations details page.
  2. Click the filter sub tab that you want to apply. For example, Dimension 1 Filter.
  3. By default, all Intercompany Elimination GLAs and Dimensions are selected. To create a specific filter, enable the Manual Selection option. You can then specify one or more GLAs or Dimensions.
  4. [Optional] If you are creating a manual GLA filter you can view the list of available GLAs by clicking List of Intercompany Elimination GLAs.
  5. Click Edit Filter. A list of available values displays.
  6. Select the GLA or Dimension values to use as the filter criteria.
  7. [Optional] If you are creating a Dimension filter, select Include Blank Values, to include all transactions that do not have a value in the specified Dimension field.
  8. [Optional] To include disabled dimensions select Include Disabled Dimensions.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Repeat the steps above to add additional filters.
Note: If after creating a filter you enable the Select All option, your manual selection is ignored and the default behavior is in effect until you enable the Manual Selection again. Your previously selected values are not lost by doing this.
