Matrix consolidation covers consolidation for management-oriented organizational units such as profit center and business segment. This functionality addresses the needs of business unit managers and group controllers who need to respond rapidly to changes resulting from internal organization unit restructuring and who need to focus on specific internal performance figures and not the entire group financial statement.
Matrix consolidation introduces new reporting dimensions that are derived at report run-time and not persisted in the universal journal. These virtual organizational units allow the reporting user to show inter-unit eliminations at the correct hierarchy level.
