Introduction to Consolidation

SUMMARY

1. General View

To access Consolidation mode, click on the desired option in the navigation menu on the left of the screen.

On the main screen, you will find the Income Statement and Balance Sheet per company, as well as the elimination and consolidation values for the reference month (base date).

2. Visualization and display aspects

It is possible to sort the tables according to each user’s preference. To do so, simply click and drag the desired table to the new position. The system will remember this order even if you leave the module or platform.

The structures can also be expanded and collapsed all at once. To perform this function, you must click on the option located on the left-hand side of each table header.

3. Conversion of Company values

Multi-currency companies have a switch in the header of each table where you can switch between the group currency and the company currency.

4. Copy logic to other months

It is possible to copy all the logic from the reference month (base date) to other months. To perform this action, simply click on the COPY LOGIC button, located next to the contextual menu, at the top of the page.

In the mode, select a month, indicate whether you want to delete the old deletions and confirm the action by clicking COPY. Now, the logic of the reference month (base-date) will be copied to the new month.

To copy for other months, simply repeat the same action.
