Consolidating Journal Categories from one Set of Book to another - Managing different needs
For example, we have a "Management" chart of accounts that all companies use, which follows the chart of accounts of the head office.
We have some companies in Europe that have different accounting practices (especially regarding inventory) and therefore they each have 2 sets of books. The first with the "Management" chart of accounts (where all transactions from the modules are generated), the second with their "country specific" chart of accounts.
We go into each of the Journal Categories, use Examine, and set the Consolidation Flag to "Yes" for those categories we want to consolidate from one to the other SOB. (we have not flagged Inventory as yes)
