Company Consolidation
Consolidation rolls G/L balances from multiple originating companies into one corporate company. The corporate company can be an operating company, but it is best if it is not. Consolidation clears records in ANOBAL and rebuilds them. Any G/L numbers or summaries used by the originating companies are cleared; even if the corporate company is also using them.
All companies use the same chart of accounts. To differentiate them in the corporate company, we have activated account part 6 as ‘company’. The consolidation relationships are configured to automatically populate account part 6 with the two character company code.
Management Tasks
To go to the Consolidation Menu, key in -
goto CONSOL
Select option ‘Work with consolidation relationships’.

This tells the consolidation how to relate account parts from the originating company to the corporate company. As we use the same structure in all companies, it’s a one to one relationship. Except for account part 6; which is populated with the company code.

This tells the consolidation how to relate accounting periods from the originating company to the corporate company. As we use the same periods in all companies, it’s a one to one relationship.

This tells the consolidation how to relate budgets (if they are being consolidated) from the originating company to the corporate company.
Select option ‘Work with consolidation conversions ‘.
This tells the consolidation process how to map account numbers from the originating company to the corporate company. In most cases, it is a one to one relationship. But there are some that you may want to transform. For example, inter company transfers.

Select the account part that is to be mapped from the originating company to the corporate company.
Note that underscore (_) means any character. In ‘from account number’ it means all values in that column will be accepted. In ‘to account number’ it means the value won’t be converted.

If you are consolidating into an operating company, an underscore in all positions for all account parts would be a bad thing. As accounts from the originating company would be consolidated to the same account in the corporate company, the analyser totals would be cleared in the update, and recalculated from the originating company only.
The accounts for the originating company have to be different than ones used in the operating corporate company. This can be done by either putting a fixed account in a new account part, or by changing a character in one of the account parts in account part conversion.
Select option ‘Create interface file (originating company)’. Note that this must be run from the originating company.

This will create a work file of all analyser total records for the originating company for the requested year, that fall into the selections made in Account/Sum id part conversion. It will generate two reports.

The file created in the previous step will be used to recalculate the analyser totals in the corporate company. Issues
It appears that the custom summary levels are not correct in the Analyser opening balance file. See Problems / Finance / G/L Balances do not Roll Over in this manual for a description, and how to fix them. Programming Notes
Note – in the RPG programs, files prefixed by 'OR' are overridden to the originating company’s 'SR' files.
