GL141 - Consolidation Unload

**Form Purpose
Run Consolidation Unload (GL141) to consolidate financial information for a
general ledger company that processes General Ledger transactions on more than
one machine by transferring balances and transaction data. This process
creates summarized balance information on the target machine for each posting
account for a fiscal year.

**Processing Effect
This program creates a work file of balance data. Balances come from the
General Ledger Consolidation (GLCONSOL) file. Transaction data comes from the
Currency Amounts (CUAMOUNT) file, General Ledger Units (GLUNITS) file, or
both.

If you are transferring Balance information, GL141 creates the following work
file: $LAWDIR/productline/work/mastrel.csv

If you are transferring Transaction information, GL141 create the following
work file: $LAWDIR/productline/work/transrel.csv

Important If you choose to summarize data using GLCONSOL and you have
non-base transaction amounts, these values will NOT be maintained. The
transaction amount and the transaction currency will default to the base
amount and base currency. If the data contains transaction currency amounts,
you will want to use the level 5 posting option in the Consolidate Level field
to maintain the integrity of the amounts.
