Group numbers are not the sum of the entities — they are the sum minus what the group sold to itself. The work that blocks the group close is the intercompany elimination: every receivable in one entity must equal the matching payable in another, or there is a break. This collects the entities, matches the intercompany pairs, flags the breaks and the unclosed entities, and rolls up the group P&L.

A €1 intercompany break stops the whole group close — the balance sheet won’t balance and auditors won’t sign. Matching the pairs automatically and isolating the true breaks turns a multi-day chase between finance teams into a short worked list.
