i have a query, ( LN 6.1 FP5)

we have 6 companies and wants to generate consolidation report (debtors,creditors,P&L,BS,TB) etc.


what is the best practice.

do we want to create separate company or with dimension can we manage.
if through dimension , what is the process steps to take care.

please assist

Thanks in advance.

Unless there is any downside to usage of multi-company strcture , one should use multi-finance comapny only . There are already built in reports and functionality for multi-company working . In fact dimension usage for company may not let u use such reports and functionality like inter company transactions . Ant dimensions may require u to do all that through some other workarounds.

Hi baan999,

You have multi-logistic single finance, or you have multi-logistic multi-finance structure.. The reports will depend on the structure you have chosen.

From FP5 onwards, you can setup your own financial and consolidated reports in a flexible way within the Financial Statements (FST) module within Financials. This is derived from the FST functionality of BaanIV.

The Best way is to have different Financial companies. Than using financial Statement module you can do teh consolidation of the statements. The Standard software gives some reports like Debtors, Credits across companies so these reports need not be taken from financial statements.
