Settings Description
Delete automatic journals when cancelling

Select this check box to remove automatic journals from the journals database that were cancelled by the automatic consolidation. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.

Caution: This operation can cause gaps in the numbering of journals. Check whether this operation is legal in your country.
Allow unbalanced journals Select this check box to post journals by the automatic consolidation that have unbalanced debits and credits. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.
Automatic consolidation rule logging Select this check box to enable the automatic logging while performing consolidation rules. You can also enable this option when you select Tools > Preferences in Financial Consolidation. This setting is configured for each user individually.
Carry forward journals

Select this check box to enable journals to be carried forward in contrast to data in the OLAP database while performing the function Carry Forward Journals. As a default, this check box is selected, so that journals are carried forward. In some cases, in previous MIS Zeus projects, carry forwards were only performed on the basis of data in the OLAP model. Because in this case no carry forward journals exist, the check box must be unselected in order to take over the carry forward data correctly. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.

Caution: You can configure this option once before you start the project. If you change this option later, the data in your model becomes inconsistent and can only be corrected manually.
Save rule source code when consolidating Select this check box to save the program code that is created from the consolidation rules before the code is performed. This program code can help the support to analyze issues. This setting is configured for each user individually.
Exchange rate calculation accepts negative values In the default configuration of Financial Consolidation, you can only specify positive values for the exchange rate calculation. In cases for which it is required to specify negative values, select this check box. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.
Show only group companies in the group journal editor Select the check box to display only group companies in the group journal editor.
Use A-accounts coding also in carry forward journals Select the check box to use a-account coding for the function Carry Forward Journals.
Use version 2 of the sum of all companies Select the check box to use version 2 of the function Transfer to Consolidation. This version copies values directly to the group elements and not to the global element in the group dimension from which the values must be distributed to the groups by OLAP rules on the basis of the participations. To use this function, the OLAP rules in your model must be adapted. When you start new projects, you can disable the OLAP rule for the distribution of values to the group cubes. For existing projects, this OLAP rule must be adapted in the way that already completed periods continue to use this rule of distributing the values. In the periods that use the version 2 of the Transfer to Consolidation the rule does not work any more and values are copied directly to the group elements. If you have questions about this functions, contact the responsible project manager at Infor.
Enable logging the performance measurement Select the check box to enable the performance measurement of the functions Transfer to Consolidation, Copy Subgroup Data, and Start Consolidation. If this option is enabled, the execution times of the functions are measured in detail. The measured times are written to the Financial Consolidation log file (configuration of the log file in Repository Administration) as far as a filter exists that has at least the level "Information" and that includes the event ID 60100. If you only use the Event ID 60100, you can enable the logging in normal operation, because only few information is written to the log file. This option can help to analyze performance issues.
Ignore permissions for groups and companies for displaying journals As from release 10.3.0, only journals of groups and companies are displayed in the journal lists for which the user has at least read permissions. If you prefer to display all journals, select this check box. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.
Copy segment stages base elements 1:1 in group-to-company function Copies base elements of the segment stages 1:1 in the function Copy Subgroup Data.
Keep original text of Carry Forward Journals Journals that are copied by Carry Forward Journals receive a new journal text that includes the journal number and the context of the source journal. This is the default setting. Customers can keep the original text instead. Select this check box to keep the original text.
Partner segment for non-intercompany accounts

In the standard configuration of accounts for which no intercompany relation is configured, the element "External" is used as partner segment. Select the check box and specify another element in the text field if required for your project. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.

Note: The partner segment is specified as text. Ensure that the notation of the element ID is correct here.
Use this default segment in hierarchical segmentation

In the standard configuration of the hierarchical segmentation, the element "Unassigned" is used for non-required segments and their partner segments. Select the check box and specify another element in the text field if required for your project. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.

Note: The segment is specified as text. Ensure that the notation of the element ID is correct here.
Intercompany for non-intercompany carry forward top accounts

If the system account for the carry forward must use an intercompany relation in your model, select the check box and specify the intercompany relation in the text field. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.

Note: The intercompany relation is specified as text. Ensure that the notation of the element ID is correct here.
Use another report catalog than the default report catalog In the standard configuration, the name of the Application Studio report catalog is Reports. If you prefer to use another report catalog, or if you rename the standard report catalog, select the check box and select the report catalog from the drop-down list. This setting takes effect for all users of the project.
Number of server instances to be started Specify the number of instances of the consolidation server that must be started. The number of instances defines how many requests are processed in parallel. This option is only relevant for the computer on which the server-side consolidation is used. See Interface of the Financial Consolidation Server.
