[ Intercompany US Elimination: Basics
When reporting the financial results of a group of entities,BPC identifies Intercompany activities and balances and
posts entries so these activities and balances are fully
eliminated when looking at the overall results for the
group
Intercompany elimination entries should be reflected only
in groups in which both the entity and the partner entity
are part of the group

[ US Eliminations
BPC US Elimination process addresses simpleintercompany requirements in financial application, where
a full legal consolidation application is not required
Multiple lower level legal entities related data is eliminated
at first common parent
Consolidation Task US widely used Intercompany

[ US Eliminations - Prerequisites
The application must include a dimension of type I,Intercompany
The Intercompany dimension must include the property
ENTITY, whose values are entity names
The account dimension must include the propertyELIMACC, whose values are account names
The entity dimension must include the property ELIM,
whose values are Y or blank.
The appropriate business rule table and DTS must be setup

Granularity is lost post IC elimination!

[ New approach to IC Elimination
In the Financial Application data model, add an additionaluser defined dimension for Entity
Normally when eliminations happen, the granularity is
retained at Elimination Entity and Trading Partner
As theres an additional user defined dimension for Entity,data is aggregated by Elimination entity, Trading Partner
and also bythe additional user defined dimension for
Entity
A simple additional dimension in data model saves
tremendous effort later on during reporting design and
analysis
Dont lose granularity post IC elimination!

[ Enhanced Analysis works with managerialconsolidation too!
User defined dimension can be added in similar manner
for managerial consolidation too
Additional user defined dimension can be added for profit
center or segment or any such managerial entity, as
applicable
Ensure that the desired data granularity for elimination is
achieved by calibrating data model to suit analysis needs

US Elimination in BPC 10 works in similar manner
Adding additional user defined dimension for Entity will
allow retention of granularity at Elimination Entity, Trading
Partner and User Defined Entity

Best Practices
IC Reconciliation is often a challenge in close process,
address this upfront
Consider post IC elimination review and analysis process
and pain areas as critical input for designing optimal data
model for BPC consolidation
Consider all possible dimensions required for
Consolidation (Legal and Management)
What views of data do you need supported at the underlying
ledger?
Consider system performance implications with adding
dimensions?
Define and activate all potentially required dimensions on
day one to avoid complex and costly changes later

Key Learnings
Deficiency in data model could adversely impact close
process
Facilitate reconciliation by addressing granularity of IC
Elimination data
Dont lose granularity post IC elimination. More detailand granularity is appropriate
Optimal data model for consolidation will minimize
reporting and analysis challenges during financial close
