Multi-Site A/L Posted Transactions

This topic provides overview information about multi-site A/L posted transactions.

You can use a separate Analytical Ledger in a multi-site environment, but the Analytical Ledger itself is not consolidated.

The Chart of Accounts is created at the entity level and is automatically copied to all sites reporting to the entity.

The General Ledger is created at the site level. A map allows the General Ledgers of several sites to be consolidated to create a single financial statement at the entity level.

The Analytical Ledger may be created at either the entity or the site level, but is never consolidated. Some sites may use Analytical Ledgers, while other sites do not. If the Analytical Ledger is created at the entity level, the analytical accounts (Type Y) must be copied only to sites where the Use Analytical Ledger check box is selected on the General Parameters form.

Budget consolidation transaction takes place at the site level and should not be consolidated for analytical accounts.
