Consolidation between companies located in separate production environments

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by AntonioKD 430

Hello everyone!

I want to set up consolidation on BC v18.5/19. I want to consolidate companies that are located in separate production environments (GB localization and PL localization). I have some questions:

1. In which environments should I create Consolidated Company?

2. How should I set up Consolidated Company and Subsidiaries COmpanies (Business Entities, Chart of accounts)?

3. What the consolidation process looks like in BC in the case of companies located in different production environments?

I have some instructions, but I have a problem with the situation in which companies are in different production environments.

Than you in advance!!

    Antonio,

    1. In which environments should I create Consolidated Company? - Setup the Consolidation Company in the Parent Company that has the main currency. So if either GB or PL. This way the Consolidation Company reside in the database the main company resides.

    2. How should I set up Consolidated Company and Subsidiaries Companies (Business Entities, Chart of accounts)? - To utilize Intercompany and Consolidations, setup the Business Units for each Company under the Consolidation Company , Business Unit GB and Business Unit PL. These will point to GB being in the same Tenant and PL will be a File that will be imported, being in its own tenant.  As for COA, I normally like to keep things the same for ease of Consolidation, but you do not have to since you can create a Consolidation COA and then point the GB and PL COA to the consolidated Debit/Credit account.

    3. What the consolidation process looks like in BC in the case of companies located in different production environments? Again, if the Consolidation company is within GB, this process when you run the Business Unit import it will read the GB Company being in the same database. As for the company outside the GB Database, you will export from PL a Consolidation File and the Consolidation Company will ask for a file to import.

    I am attaching Consolidation Manual to help you.

    Thanks,

    Steve
