  Key Concepts: 
  A consolidation rule is a set of instructions used to define how data is consolidated in SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (EPM-FC). It is used to define the consolidation process, such as which entities are included in the consolidation, how data is aggregated, and how the consolidated results are reported. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a consolidation rule, first create a consolidation rule template. This template defines the parameters of the consolidation process, such as which entities are included in the consolidation and how data is aggregated. Once the template is created, it can be applied to any number of consolidations. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
