Elimination rows that are not created with one of the earlier described elimination types are entered using the Other Entries input template. These include the following:

•Internal transactions (document series 20000)

•Input of Margin and Tax Rates for Internal Margins in Inventories (document series 40000)

•Eliminations of Internal Margins in Non-current Assets (document series 50000)

•Eliminations of Equity Investments (document series 60000)

These entries can be, for example, elimination entries from merger revenues.

Each elimination entry is saved as its own data type -specific document. The documents are given a running document number. The other elimination document is usually given document number 70000–79999.

In the default template, input is cumulative from the beginning of the year. Other elimination entries are entered in unit currency. Note that you cannot select the dimension, unit, and hierarchy options as the dimensions are defined in the template itself. The template works as if hierarchy 1 were selected. That is, all input units included for the selected year in hierarchy 1 are available. This cannot be changed task or environment specifically.

1.From the Document drop-down list, select the document number to which you want to save the data, and click Refresh.

The document drop-down list shows only documents containing at least one row that is visible to the user. Visible rows are those where the user has write rights to both the unit and counter unit. The unit rights are checked for hierarchy 1 of the selected year and are affected by the value of the CODIM00RIGHTS parameter. When CODIM00RIGHTS=false the unit rights are checked according to DIM00 Structure1. When CODIM00RIGHTS=true, the user has the right to use a unit if having write rights defined either in DIM00 or CODIM00 for any role of which the user is a member.

2.To create a new empty document for entering data, click New Document. A new document number is created when you save the template.

3.In the Unit Code column, add the ID of the unit entering the transaction. You can either enter the ID directly in the cell or select it from the selection list.

Note that the unit selection list only contains those units that are connected to the data type selected or predefined for the input template. Unit rights apply to the list, that is, only units for which the user has write rights are included.

When you add the unit ID, the unit name is automatically added to the Unit Name column.

4.In the Counter Unit Code column, add the ID of the counter unit of the entry. You can either enter the ID directly in the cell or select it from the selection list.

Note that the unit selection list only contains those units that are connected to the data type selected or predefined for the input template. Unit rights apply to the list, if counter unit restriction functionality is in use in the environment.

When you add the counter unit ID, the unit name is also automatically added to the Counter Unit Name column.

5.In the Account Code column, add the account to which the entry is entered. You can either enter the ID directly in the cell or select it from the selection list.

Note that the account selection list only contains those input accounts that are connected to the data type selected or predefined for the input template.

When you add the account ID, the account name is also automatically added to the Account Name column.

6.In the Position column, type the position number for the entry. The position number is used to separate data entered for the same account and unit to different rows in the input template. If you do not add the number, the application automatically adds number 1 when the input template is saved.

7.In the period columns, enter the cumulative sum in the unit currency. An entry entered as a positive value is a debit entry and a negative value is a credit sum (regardless of the accounts D/C code selection).

8.In the Comment column, you can type a comment for the row.

When saved, the data is converted into the selected currency (see Advanced Options) using the currency rates defined for the currency table of the data type used for the input/report data. If the currency rate is missing from one or more periods, a warning message is shown.

The Input Type column shows automatic and calculated entries updated after the last save. The data in this column cannot be modified.

Amounts converted into group currency are shown in the last column. Note that the template must be refreshed after saving to see the results after new changes.
