# Configuring Residual Amounts

## Overview

Residual amounts are created automatically in the **Organization elements** workspace when displaying a group by levels using nested consolidation areas. Residual amounts can correct possible multiple recordings of consolidation units. One residual amount is created per consolidation unit which was recorded several times, containing the reference to consolidation unit and the associated reference to consolidation unit cancellation. Residual amounts **cannot** be deleted.
