When you create a consolidation book, you get a single journal for all the consolidation entries for all of the entities.

You can then add journals for GAAP, tax, and user-defined books. Note that once you’ve run a consolidation, journals can no longer be modified.

Note: Most consolidation object names start with GC and are called “Global Coonsolidation,” but you can use them for domestic or global consolidations.
