Consolidation - Internal Balance Transfer adding previous month into current

We went live with IFS in October 2025. in Consolidation, we are running the Balance Transfer Assistant to roll the internal reporting entities into consolidation.

 

We are using Business Reporter to get a P&L. We noticed that for November the consolidation is combining October and November together when we run the Balance Transfer Assistant. We just want it to transfer November, since October has already been transferred that month.

 

Is there a reason it is doing this?

It sounds like you might be using the Consolidated Balances information source, and need to use the Consolidation Period Balance information source to get balances for only October, only November, etc.

Cynthia,

 

when we want to look directly in IFS Consolidation Analysis, does that mean we also need to look at a period balance analysis versus the Consolidation Analysis details analysis?

 

And in the consolidated balances information it didn’t appear to combine these for our external companies that we did an external file transfer with. so in the consolidation balances information prior to October (when we had internal companies), each month shows only one month activity in each month

We typically look at the consolidation period balance analysis only when troubleshooting, but yes, your consolidation period balance analysis will display the net change for the period.

When you transfer balances and look at Reported Balance Analysis, period 2025-11 (for example) will display the total per account for periods 2025-01 - 2025-11 combined, not just period 2025-11 - it is just how transferring balances works.  It is broken out by period somewhere in the tables, and you can see this in the Consolidation Period Balance Analysis.

We do not load external companies, so I can’t really provide any insight as to how that transition/addition of internal companies should be handled.
