Validate Cost Centre Structure {FCSO-2}

This option will validate the cost centre structure {FCSO-1} and a report will be produced. The validation and the items reflected on the resulting report, are not necessarily errors, but are important to the financial officer in understanding the unusual consolidations. The items reported on are as follows:

• Detail Cost Centres Not Consolidated. Under normal circumstances only the "top" cost centre should be unconsolidated, and the unconsolidated ones should be consolidation centres. Any detail cost centre is supposed to be consolidated, because transactions going through on this cost centre will not be reported or accumulated.
• Cost Centres Consolidated Into More Than One Consolidation. A cost centre can be consolidated into more than one structure for reporting purposes. The user should, however, ensure that the second consolidation string does not consolidate into the first one, the reason being that the value of the detail cost centre(s) will be duplicated.
• Cost Centres Consolidated More Than Once Into A Consolidation. A cost centre can be consolidated more than once into the same consolidation structure. This occurrence will result in duplication and possible imbalances.
• Detail Cost Centres Without Host Cost Centres. A detail cost centre cannot be defined without a host cost centre.
• Control Totals. The report also reflects the following totals:
