1. Bringing Dimensions into the Holding (Consolidation) Company
Yes, you need to manually create the same Dimensions and Dimension Values in the Holding Company, and configure them in General Ledger Setup, just like in the subsidiaries. Business Central does not automatically copy dimensions during consolidation — it only transfers dimension codes and values that match in both companies.
So:
Ensure dimension codes and values are identical (case-sensitive).
Setup must be done before you run the consolidation.
2. What is “Consolidation Code”?
The Consolidation Code in the Dimension and Dimension Value pages is used to map dimension values between companies when they differ.
Use this if your subsidiary and holding companies use different dimension codes or values, but you want them to consolidate correctly.
If dimension values are the same across companies, you don’t need to set this field.
If not configured, BC assumes the values are already matching. If they don’t, those dimensions won’t be included in the consolidation.
