I think consolidation can be done with two ways that is FSG, GCS  for FSG it can be done when both parent SOB and Subsidary SOB have Currency, Calender, COA, same then we go for FSG.

In Global consolidation System currency, coa, calender are different in parent sob and subsidary sob we have to go for GCS.

I am Saikrishna actaully I am pursuing my oracle financials in hyd i just completed one of my module GL institute.

Consolidation means : merging the financial data of all subsidiary ledgers(SOBs) into one Parent SOB.
STEPS:
1. Run 'Translation' if the subsidiary SOBs have different currency than parent.
2. Define consolidation mapping rules: a) Segment rule -- when COA of subsidiary and Parents are same
b) Account rule -- when COA structure are different
3.Run 'Consolidation transfer' program
4. Go to parent SOB now and You can run your desired reports.
