This report is used to show a trial balance for a consolidated company. Before a business unit can be included in the report, it must be set up in the Business Unit table and have a check mark in the Consolidate field. If there are four business units or fewer, you can use the Consolidated Trial Balance (4) report.
Each account appears on a line by itself (following the structure of the chart of accounts). An account is not shown if all the amounts on the line are 0. The following information is shown for each account:
Account No.
Account Name.
The total for each business unit in a separate column. The total can be displayed as either a net change or the balance to date.
The total for the consolidated company, shown as either a net change or the balance to date.
The eliminations made in the consolidated company. They will always be shown for a period corresponding to the consolidated company's fiscal year.
The total for the consolidated company after the eliminations, shown either as a net change or the balance to date.
