What this article covers: How to manage intercompany elimination entries in BrizoConsol — choosing the elimination type, adding entries manually, importing from a file, and reviewing posted eliminations. For rules that run automatically each period, see Auto Eliminations.
Intercompany elimination entries remove balances that arise from transactions between entities in your group — loans, management charges, dividends, intercompany receivables and payables, and similar. Each entry is posted to a specific scenario and period and can be entered manually or imported in bulk from a file.
1. Accessing Elimination Entries
Go to Intercompany → Elimination Entries from the left navigation. The page is available to users with Administrator or Journals & Eliminations Admin access.
2. Choosing Scenario, Type, and Period
Control
Description
Scenario
Choose Actual, Forecast, or Budget. Entries are scenario-specific.
Elimination Type
Filter the list to one intercompany category — see Section 3 for the full type list.
Period
Select a month from the dropdown, or use the Previous period and Next period arrows to step one month at a time.
3. Elimination Types
Each intercompany transaction category has its own entry view. Use the Elimination Type picker to switch between them:
Type
Use for
Trade receivables / payables
Intercompany receivable and payable balances between two group entities.
Inventory Transfers
Intercompany sales and purchases for inventory still held inside the group.
Unrealised Profit
Profit still in inventory that has not yet been sold outside the group.
Intercompany Loans
Loan, accrued interest, and related funding balances between group entities.
Management Charges
Management fees and shared service charges billed between entities.
Dividends
Dividend income recorded by the parent against the distribution in the subsidiary.
Fixed Assets
Gains, losses, or carrying amounts arising from fixed asset transfers between entities.
Other Income / Expenses
Other intercompany income and expense not covered by the standard categories.
Other Eliminations
Any intercompany balance that does not fit the categories above.
4. Adding an Entry Manually
Click Add Elimination Entry to open the entry form. Complete the following fields:
Field
Description
Elimination ID
A unique reference for this entry. Must not duplicate an existing ID for the selected period.
Date
The posting date. Defaults to the last day of the selected period.
Description
A free-text note describing the elimination.
Debit lines
One or more debit lines — each with an entity, account, currency, and amount.
Credit lines
One or more credit lines — each with an entity, account, currency, and amount.
💡 Tip: Any difference between the debit and credit base totals can be allocated using FX, timing, or write-off treatments on the entry. This avoids needing the two sides to match exactly when exchange rates differ.
5. Importing from a File
Click Import from file to open the import panel. You can drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse.
Detail
Notes
File formats
Standard plan: CSV only. Pro plan: CSV, XLSX, or TXT.
Row structure
One row = one elimination line. Rows that share the same Elimination ID form a single entry.
Validation
All-or-nothing — the entire file is rejected if any entry has a problem. All errors are shown at once so you can fix the file in one step.
Template
Click Download the import template in the import panel to get a file with the correct column headings pre-filled.
🛈 One row is one elimination line. Rows sharing an Elimination ID make up one entry, and the whole file is rejected unless every entry is valid. Download the template for the correct column headings.
