Preference to update information

By choosing the preference to update information you will be able to choose if the data in the Financial Statement will be updated manually or automatically. If the Economic Group has many registered companies, exchange rates, and cost centers, it is recommended to use manual updating, but the platform standard is automatic updating.

The Financial Statements must be reprocessed whenever any accounting account, trial balance or Management Structures is updated. The same occurs when new adjustments, premises or eliminations are created.

Therefore, in case you carry out consecutive changes to your numbers, we suggest activating manual updating. This way, your numbers will be reprocessed at the time you change them.

Note that when manual updating is activated and the values of your Financial Statements need to be reprocessed, a yellow line appears on the upper part of the platform. By clicking on “click here”, the information will be updated.
