Hi there,

We are on Version 6.3 2012-04-24.

We have Multi-Level consolidation.
So we have a Master Company. We also have Daughter companies that have Grand-Daughter companies.
The Daughter Companies have transactions in their own right aswell as consolidating the Grand-daughter companies.

When we consolidate at Master Company level, we want to include all Grand-Daughter companies plus the daughter companies so that we include the transactions entered directly on the daughter company - so we setup all Daughter and Grand-Daughter companies in the daughter setting of the Master Company.

However, the Consolidated Trial Balance appears to double up the balances of transactions from the grand-daughter companies - presumably this is because we are consolidating the grand-daughter and daughter companies (which are in turn consolidating the grand-daughter companies). Is my presumption correct, is it doubling up the grand-daughter companies?
If so, our options as I see it are:

1. Buy additional companies to record the transactions of the daughter companies and then consolidate these new companies and the grand-daughter companies at master company level but that's additional expense for the customer.
2. Just consolidate the daughter companies but then we lose the drilldown to the Grand-daughter companies.

How should we set this up so the Master company can consolidate all Grand-daughter companies aswell as the transaction entered directly into the daughter companies.

We look forward to your reply

Kind regards

Dave
