Consolidation means merging the financial data of all subsidary ledgers in one parent ledger (ledger is a replacement for sob in R12 with some additional features). Here is the process for consolidation.

1. Create subsidary ledgers for all the countries where we operate our business in all currencies.
2. Create parent ledger with reporting currency of the organization.
3. Translate all ledger balances to reporting currency.
4. Transfer all the balaces from subsidary ledgers to parent ledger with the help of mapping rules.

Mapping rules are segment rules and accounting rules.
Accounting rules take preference over segment rules.
