Consolidation Rule Steps

A consolidation rule contains one or more consolidation rule steps. A consolidation rule
step comprises a formula and a formula scope.
Formulas
A formula is a combination of tokens and mathematical operators used to calculate the
balance of the consolidation entry. Tokens are variables whose values are resolved
during consolidation processing based upon the consolidation hierarchy. To create
formulas, you use the add (+), substract (-), multiply (*), divide (/), and parentheses [( )]
mathematical operators to group calculations in combination with tokens.
Financial Consolidation Hub provides 11 tokens. The tokens available for a
consolidation rule are determined by the category to which the rule is assigned. The
table below shows available tokens for the Minority Interest and User Defined
categories.
