Which of the following describes a Force Consolidation's effect?

• A. Consolidates all periods in the previous year
• B. Consolidates all periods in the current year
• C. Consolidates all Scenarios of the same Scenario Type
• D. Consolidates the None Entity Member

Answer: (B)

Force Consolidation makes the system recalculate and roll up data for every period in the current fiscal year. Instead of only consolidating the current period or a subset, it processes all periods within the year, ensuring that year-to-date totals, currency translations, and intercompany eliminations are updated consistently across the entire year. This is helpful after changes that affect multiple periods, so the year’s numbers are complete and reliable. The other options describe consolidating different scopes—previous year, a focus on scenarios of the same type, or a None Entity Member—which do not match the effect of forcing consolidation across all periods in the current year.
