Terminology:

Real Time Consolidation: An integrated application designed to support real-time access totransactional and Master data within S/4HANA Finance with limited or no data replication of theunderlying data, aligned with the S/4HANA Finance concept of support for real-time business.

Traditional Consolidation: A separate dedicated application designed to support sourcing ofdata from multiple systems via periodic replication of transactional data. In addition Master andMeta data must also either be replicated or maintained directly in both systems. .
