Import Consolidation Data

Form ID: (GL509000)

This form is used by the parent company to import consolidation data from its consolidation units. Data is imported for all open periods, and data is imported to the specified consolidation ledger of the parent company only if this data has been posted to the ledgers of the consolidation units since the previous consolidation.

For access to the consolidation unit's website and for automatic importing, the system uses the settings that have been entered on the Consolidation (GL103000) form. For details, see GL Consolidation: To Import Consolidation Data from a Subsidiary.

Note: This form is accessible only if the General Ledger Consolidation feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
