Consolidation in Business Central

I've been running monthly consolidations in Business Central for the past year but it seems quite risky as each month I am only importing the movement on each g/l account in each subsidiary between 2 specified dates.

Therefore any back posting wouldn't be picked up. Also the consolidated balance sheet isn't controlled with any checks against the balances in the individual subsidiary balance sheet accounts.

Is there a better way of doing things?

    I think only customization can do that.
    Or you can export it for analysis outside the system.
     
    Thanks.

    Thanks Valentin,

    It doesn't seem very robust to me.

    We have lots of subsidiaries to consolidate and it seems very difficult to go back from the consolidated figures to the individual company entries. The consolidation import doesn't even include the g/l account code so it's very hard for an auditor to trace where the numbers have come from. Is there a way to get the g/l accounts of the subsidiaries to appear in the consolidation?

    You can rerun consolidations for a period that has already been processed. When you do, the system will zero out the previous consolidation and replace it with the updated numbers. This is useful when you backpost in a previously consolidated period.

    If you need to perform a check, that will have to be done manually.
