Consolidation
Goal
Build consolidation groups, add legal-entity members (ownership % and method), run consolidation for the current period, and read consolidated statements.
Who it is for
Group accountants with consolidation.view. Creating groups / adding members needs consolidation.manage_groups. Running needs consolidation.run. Module: multi_entity_consolidation. Setup screens use multi_entity_consolidation.admin.
Preconditions
- Module multi_entity_consolidation enabled.
- Permission
consolidation.view(else Dashboard redirect). - Legal entities exist (
GET /legal-entities) before you can add members. - Presentation currency chosen when creating a group.
Open the screen
Reporting → Consolidation (path /consolidation). Title: Consolidation. Related: Consolidation setup for elimination types and settings.
Steps
- Under Consolidation groups, select a group (name + presentation currency). Empty: No consolidation groups yet.
- With
consolidation.manage_groups, choose New group — Name + Presentation currency → toast Group created. - Open Members: Legal entity · Ownership · Method tags Full / Proportional / Equity. Add member → toast Member added.
- With
consolidation.run, choose Run consolidation. The UI posts a run for the current month period (YTDfrom, todayto) → toast Consolidation completed. - Read Consolidated statements: Account · Type · Amount.
Result
Group membership and the latest run’s consolidated lines are available for review. Elimination rules and types are maintained on the setup screens, not on this run UI.
Hard stops
- No groups → members and run stay unavailable until you create/select a group.
- Missing manage/run permissions → corresponding buttons hidden.
- API errors surface via notify; fix membership/currency/period issues and retry.
- Missing module / view permission → Dashboard redirect.
