Which dimension type is used to consolidate data to a parent?

• A. Consolidation
• B. Time
• C. Intercompany
• D. Parent

Answer: (A)

Consolidation is the dimension that defines the parent–child hierarchy used to roll numbers up to a parent. When you consolidate, the system uses this dimension to aggregate values from child members into their designated parent, producing the combined total at the parent level. Time controls periods, Intercompany manages eliminations between entities, and while a parent concept exists, it’s the consolidation dimension that actually drives the upward aggregation.
