Entering Consolidation Information on G/L Accounts

After setting up the chart of accounts for a consolidated company, you must specify accounts for consolidation. In each company that will be included in the consolidation, for each G/L account, you must specify the G/L account in the consolidated company to which the balance will be transferred on consolidation.

To Enter Consolidation Information on G/L Accounts:

  1. On the menu bar, click File, Company, Open. Select a business unit from the company list.

  2. Open the Chart of Accounts window.

  3. For each G/L account (Posting type), fill in the Consol. Debit Acc., Consol. Credit Acc. and Consol. Translation Method fields. (These fields are not in the standard layout of the Chart of Accounts window, but you can insert them with the Show Column function.) For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1.

  4. After entering account numbers for all the G/L accounts, close the Chart of Accounts window.

If you have more than one business unit in the same database, close the current company, open another business unit and repeat the procedure.
