Use this form to create ledger elimination rules, which you can use to define how to eliminate transactions between two legal entities. For more information, see Elimination rules for transactions.
Note
Before you can use elimination rules or create elimination transactions, you must select the Use for financial consolidation process check box in the Legal entities form.
We recommend that you use Management Reporter for Microsoft Dynamics ERP to combine the financial results for multiple legal entities in a consolidated format. Management Reporter lets you create consolidated financial reports across legal entities, use Microsoft Excel to import consolidation data from other sources, and translate amounts into any number of reporting currencies without having to run the consolidation process in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
For more information about how to consolidate with elimination transactions by using Management Reporter, see Financial consolidations and currency translation.
