Each company can own multiple organizations that are used in account balances for the
entity.
Base Organization
To create an operating entity, select a base organization for the entity. The base
organization must be one of the organizations of the selected companies. The base
organization is used during consolidation processing as a default for automatic creation
of consolidation entries.
See: Minority Interest, page 7-3
Elimination Entity

entity. The elimination entity is automatically created with that name.

To create a controlling entity, you can select an existing operating entity to be the
controlling entity for the consolidation entity.

created, you must synchronize the organization assignments. To

organization, verify that you have assigned companies to the entity and
that those companies have organizations assigned to them.

consolidation entity.
