View or edit ownership structure periods

You can edit an ownership structure period, for example, you can add or delete an entity from the structure.

Recall that each parent entity is associated with a book. If you delete a parent entity from the period, delete the book for that entity as well. If you add a parent entity to the period, add a book for that parent entity. You can add or delete a book on the Consolidation rules tab. Include book details as needed, such as the elimination entity and elimination adjustment account.

After editing the period, you'll want to re-consolidate the ownership structure starting from the period you modified.

Consider the period that you want to start with when you define or run a consolidation.

After you run a consolidation, you cannot:

  • Delete a period.

  • Skip a period.

For example, if you designate February as the starting period for your consolidation, then you cannot delete the February period. Similarly, given a consolidation that begins in February and ends in June, you cannot skip March. Consolidations are designed to run through consecutive periods only.

You can create a separate consolidation book or ownership structure for a different time period. For example, you can define a separate, new consolidation book or ownership structure with a starting period of March instead of February. You can create another book or ownership structure that includes the April and May periods only, instead of February through June.
