Can the user change the way Consolidation runs, so that actual Consolidation happens first before the Calculate routine is run?

Goal

Can the user change the way Consolidation runs, so that actual Consolidation happens first before the Calculate routine is run? 

Solution

The issue has to do with the inherent way HFM consolidates. When a consolidation is run, the Calculate() routine runs first. The inherent way HFM consolidates and calculates cannot be changed, but expert rule-writers might be able to produce workarounds for the most common situations.

See the "Managing Rules" chapter from the Financial Management Administrator's Guide for an in-depth explanation of the sequence in which the various routines are executed during consolidation.
