There are various ways you can structure the file for reporting including:
- Sole entity with no divisions: This is the simplest reporting option and will be the default position when you open a file.
- Sole entity with multiple divisions: You can add unlimited divisions to an entity, assign accounts to the divisions, exclude inter-entity transactions and have full reporting capabilities at a divisional or entity level.
- Multiple entities with no divisions: If you have multiple entities and there is no need to add divisions against a specific entity, you can add divisions to the file and each division can represent each entity. You will have full reporting capabilities at the entity/division or group level and can also exclude inter-entity transactions.
- Multiple entities with multiple divisions: If you have multiple entities and one or more of the entities requires divisional reporting, you can setup multiple files and group the files for consolidated reporting. This will allow reporting at a consolidated, entity or divisional level. You can exclude inter-group transactions and the consolidated reports are produced via an export to excel.
- Reporting on multiple divisions: Once the file has been setup, you can combine divisions using "segments" and use the segment reporting.
