Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can handle company consolidations and eliminations. It is a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that offers a range of financial management tools and capabilities, including the ability to manage multiple companies, perform consolidations, and handle intercompany transactions.
To consolidate and eliminate data in Business Central, you can use the built-in consolidation functionality. This allows you to consolidate financial data from multiple companies (subsidiaries) into a single parent company. This is particularly useful for businesses with a complex organizational structure or multiple legal entities.
The consolidation process in Business Central typically involves the following steps:
Setting up a consolidation company: Create a separate company within Business Central to serve as the parent company for the consolidation. This company will be used to store the consolidated financial data.
Configuring subsidiary companies: Define each subsidiary company within Business Central, specifying the relevant information like the company's name, currency, and reporting periods.
Mapping accounts: Map the subsidiary companies' chart of accounts to the parent company's chart of accounts. This ensures that the financial data is correctly consolidated in the parent company.
Setting up elimination rules: Define elimination rules to handle intercompany transactions and eliminate any double counting of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. You can create elimination rules for specific accounts, dimensions, or account schedules.
Running the consolidation process: Perform the consolidation by running the "Consolidate" function in Business Central. This will gather and aggregate the financial data from the subsidiary companies and apply the elimination rules to the consolidated data.
Reviewing and adjusting consolidated data: After the consolidation is complete, you can review the consolidated financial statements and make any necessary adjustments directly in the parent company.
It's important to note that the level of complexity involved in managing consolidations and eliminations can vary based on your organization's needs and structure. It's recommended to consult with a qualified Business Central consultant or partner to ensure the consolidation process is set up correctly for your specific business requirements.
