Elimination Review | BrizoConsol Documentation

What this article covers: How to use Elimination Review in BrizoConsol — approving Method 4 proposals, reviewing Method 2 residual treatments, and handling auto elimination periods that a rule held back.

Elimination Review lists the auto elimination entries that need a person to look at them, one period at a time. Rows appear here as soon as a consolidation produces them.

1. Accessing Elimination Review

Go to Intercompany → Elimination Review from the left navigation. The menu item appears only when the group has an active Method 4 rule or an entry waiting for review. Choose the Scenario (Actual, Forecast or Budget) and the Period, or step between months with the previous and next arrows. Reviews are scenario-specific. Use the Search… box to filter by description, type or warning, and the Excel icon in the page header to export the list.

2. What Appears Here

Row Why it is here

Method 4 proposal The rule prepared an entry but never posts it without approval.

Method 2 residual The two sides differed. The entry was posted with the rule’s default treatment (FX or Write off, or Timing parked on an account) and can be reviewed. With Timing — Review before posting, the entry is not posted until approved.

Method 1 outside tolerance The From and To amounts differed by more than the rule’s tolerance, so the period was not posted.

Name criterion not met The rule is limited to named customers or suppliers and no invoice or bill in that month names them. The entry was not posted; the reason is shown under the row.

Ownership timing warning A manual elimination entry dated before an entity’s acquisition date or on or after its disposal date. They are listed under Timing warnings. Auto elimination rules skip such periods instead of posting them.

Rows are grouped into Waiting for approval, Check the difference treatment (already posted), Timing warnings and Done this period. Each row shows the rule name, its intercompany type, the date, the From and To organisation, account and amount, and the Difference. Waiting rows show Review and post and Reject; posted rows show Confirm, Change treatment and Reject. Done this period lists each row’s status, such as Posted, Confirmed or Rejected.

3. Reviewing an Entry

Click Review and post (or Change treatment on a posted row) to open the prepared entry. You can adjust its lines and the residual treatment before saving.

Entry Dialog and button

Method 4 proposal Review and Post Elimination — click Approve & Post to post it.

Method 2 residual Review Auto Elimination — click Confirm & Replace to replace the posted entry with your reviewed version. A posted Method 2 row can also be accepted as it is with Confirm; a confirmed row can be opened again with Change treatment.

4. Rejecting an Entry

Click Reject, then Reject in the confirmation dialog. The proposal is not posted, and an entry already generated by Method 2 is removed. Use this when the rule needs correcting first.

💡 Tip: If the same rule keeps landing here, check it on the Elimination Rules page — the accounts, method, tolerance or name criterion may need adjusting.
