You should define the default intercompany balancing rule at the legal entity level, because each ledger has one legal entity assigned to it and each legal entity is associated with one balancing segment value. This way, you can specify the intercompany receivables and payables accounts for each legal entity and ensure that the journals are balanced by legal entity or primary balancing segment values. A ledger-level rule would apply to all legal entities in the ledger, which may not be appropriate if they have different intercompany accounts. A primary balancing segment rule would apply to all ledgers that share the same chart of accounts, which may not be desirable if they have different intercompany rules. A chart of accounts rule would apply to all ledgers and legal entities that use the same chart of accounts, which may not be feasible if they have different intercompany segments or accounts. References:

When integrating with Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, you can use the following dimensions for consolidation: Entity, Scenario, Year, Period, Value, Account, Intercompany, Custom1 to Custom4, and View. You can map one to one, or concatenate segments from your source General Ledger to a single Hyperion Financial Management dimension. For example, you can map Company to Entity, Department to Department, and Account to Account. However, if you have segments in your source General Ledger that cannot be mapped to any Hyperion Financial Management dimension, such as Program, then the data is summarized across those segments. This means that the data is aggregated to the highest level of the unmapped segments, and the detail information is lost. For example, if you have Program as a segment in your source General Ledger, and you do not map it to any Hyperion Financial Management dimension, then the data is summarized by Program, and you cannot see the data by individual Program values in Hyperion Financial Management. References:
