Remainder lines

Remainders lines display only in the Outside of Requested Tolerance category. The amount in the Difference column is eliminated by using a remainder line that posts to an elimination unit during a consolidation.

Remainder lines display in bold text for each transaction.

If the Ownership process is enabled and ownership data exists for the data slice (year, version, and top unit), then a bold Remainder Total line displays the sum of all remainder amounts for each elimination unit in the category. If the Ownership process is not enabled, one Remainder Total line provides a summary remainder amount for the entire category.

The administrator can:

• Assign a different remainder line for debits than for credits.
• Assign the same remainder line for both debits and credits.
• Assign the same lines for remainders as for third-party amounts.
• Assign the same lines for remainders as for Match and Match With line amounts.

Remainders are calculated as follows (taking into account the natural sign of each line):

Remainder + A + B = 0

If the remainder is a credit, the amount is posted to the remainder credit line; if a debit, then to the remainder debit line.
