The following process will describe the steps required to run the Consolidation Process

Step-by-step guide

In order to run the consolidation process, first of all the user is to go to Business Units which can be easily accessed by looking for it in the search bar.

Since we are handling data which is already found within the same database, ie in separate companies, we simply need to run the process by clicking on Run Consolidation. We can either opt to import the data one by one or else simply retrieve all the data for all the Business Units within the company.

The window similar to the one below will show up and the user is to insert the following data:

Starting date - the starting date of the accounting year being worked on
Ending date - the ending date of the accounting year being worked on
Copy Dimension - select the dimensions which are to be copied. Please make sure that the dimensions and dimension values are aligned.
Document No. - Any document No. will do, but we strongly suggest to make it clearly recongisable.
Parent Currency Code - the consolidation currency code.

After filling in the details click OK and the data will be transferred.
