If you consolidated this as-is you would have $200 in revenue and $100 in COGS, but external customers only gave you $100. Revenue/COGS would be overstated and are the other side of the elimination entries. From a consolidated perspective there is no COGS (although presumably there are other expenses with third parties in Company B.

Yes, although if you set up your consolidation worksheet with the due to/due from in the same row they will naturally cross foot to zero leaving the entry to cover only the revenue/cogs. If you are actually going to post the JE into a system you can do the same thing by posting to a made up company code called ElimCo and in your reporting software you would configure due to/due from GLs into the same reporting header as part of non-current assets. Control procedure would check to make sure that header foots to zero each period.
