What is the effect of Force Consolidate in FCCS?

• A. It forces consolidation of all entities regardless of status or content.
• B. It consolidates only those entities with OK statuses.
• C. It locks the entity to prevent others from consolidating the same entity.
• D. It resets the period to the previous year.

Answer: (A)

Force Consolidate overrides the usual checks and forces a consolidation across every entity in the selected scope, regardless of their current status or whether they have data. This means all included entities participate in the roll-up, even if some would normally be skipped due to not being OK or having incomplete data. It’s useful when you need a complete, system-wide consolidation after changes or to ensure consistency across the full set of entities. It does not lock entities or reset the period to a previous year.
