Hello I am faced with a misunderstanding. I have a JE entry between the Parent subsidiary and the child. The consolidated currency is the euro the Interco JE is entered in euros for 10K€. For the child subsidiary, the amount is converted in dollars for USD 11,081.90 at a rate of 1.10819. When I see the elimination journal, I see my CTA account E for BS et P&L impacted by an amount of 4 108,97€. When I see the elimination entry for the P&L part, for example, I see that the expense (entered in dollars on my JE Interco) is 14,108.97 USD at a rate of 1.27315471, which does not give the 10K euro originally entered. how I ended up with this amount of 14,108.97 USD ? I feel like I'm missing something

NS uses daily rate for JEs and consolidated rates for eliminations

yes, I understand that, but why is NS multiplying my original $11081.90 amount on my IC JE by the consolidated rate? I would have expected to see the $11081.90 divided by this consolidated rate and the difference recorded in my CTA E

because NS calculates one rate for eliminations. Whatever you used in your transaction does not matter per se, NS uses consolidated rate and the variance (between your JE rate and consol rate) goes into CTA Elim.
ok, so let’s pretend we have some rates all month, every day is a dif rate for USD (parent company is in EUR). Every day there are transactions, and daily rate is applied. One of those days/rate is $1.10819 USD to EUR.
Month end comes. NS calculates consol rates based on weighted (!) averages for P&L rates (for BS it is the last day of the month) . So your consol rate is 1.14XXX (rightly or wrongly it is the consol rate, check what it is in the consol rates for the period). So NS calculates the variance between 1.14XXX rate and your transaction rate of 1.108XX and puts it into CTA Elim
