Consolidation in Business Central

Dear Members,
 
It would be really great if you members could provide me a clear insight in the following matter. I would like to know whether an entry posted in consolidated company (which has two business unit under it) gets added to the business unit. For better understanding, consider the following scenario. If I am posting an invoice (i.e sales/purchase invoice) from the consolidated company, it must get reflected in the subsidary company.
 
Is there any ways to meet out my requirement ? Please render your valuable suggestions.
 
Thanks,
Saravanan

    What you're looking for is the intercompany functionality, not consolidation. The intercompany functionality will send a purchase/sale document created in one company to the corresponding other company. 
     
    Regardless, if you have a consolidated company, I would not post transactional data in it such as purchase/sale invoices. I would do that in an operating company, and then consolidate that in the master consolidated company. I would only use the consolidated company for consolidations and elimination entries.

    Hi,
     
    Can you not just post in the subsidiary company and then consolidate?  
     
    I don't believe the new master data sync functionality would allow you to insert sales/purchase invoices so perhaps if this is required then it will be achieved with bespoke development.
     
    Thanks,
    Shauna
