Retained Earnings in Consolidations
I would like to request confirmation for my understanding as to how the Retained Earnings account string is derived in a Set of Books configured for Consolidations.
We have the Consolidations Mappings assigned under the segment rules to Copy Value from the Company and Intercompany segments of our account strings. Our Company segment is defined as the balancing segment. For an example, one of the subsidiaries mapped to consolidations has a retained earnings account string defined 30.000.39150.30 with the Company / Intercompany values being 30. Users are inquiring as to why this same account combination is not in consolidations.
Our consolidations book has the retained earnings account set to 99.000.39150.
