Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet in the Consolidation module is very similar to that in the Nominal Ledger and uses the same report definition. Apart from the exception described below, please click for descriptions of the 'Specify Balance Sheet' window and of the report definition.

Include Daughter Companies
This check box is relevant when you produce the Balance Sheet from the Mother Company. Use this option if you want to produce a consolidated report, taking into account Transactions from the Daughter Companies as well as those in the Mother Company. If you do not check this box, a 'standard' Balance Sheet will be produced, from the Transactions in the Mother Company only.

Drill Down

When you print a Balance Sheet to screen using the Include Daughter Companies option, it will contain the same Drill-down feature as the standard version of the report. In this case, however, you will be able to drill down to individual Daughter Company Transactions from a report produced in the Mother Company.

If you click on an Account number in the report, a Balance Sheet for that Account only is opened in a new window. This will contain separate Account balances for that Account from each Daughter Company. If you then click on an Account Number in this second report, a Nominal Ledger report for the same Account and period is then opened in a second new window, listing the Transactions from the selected Daughter Company that contribute to the Account balance on the Balance Sheet. If you then click on one of the Transaction Numbers in the Nominal Ledger report, the Transaction record will open, showing all the details recorded for the event. During this process, you will be asked to log in to any Daughter Companies that you have not yet used in the work session.
