Reporting considerations for multiple companies

If you decide to define multiple companies, you will want to consider these timesaving options for processing and reporting with multiple companies. Use these options to produce consolidated financial statements for multiple companies.

Company groups	A company group is a group of general ledger companies that you define. Use company groups to streamline processing, inquiry, analysis, and reporting when you have multiple companies. See What Is a Company Group?.
Consolidation companies	You can transfer balances from more than one General Ledger company to a designated consolidation company to consolidate financial information for an organization. A consolidation company is used for reporting purposes only. See What Is a Consolidation Company?.
Level groups or lists	You can use level groups or lists to select accounting units in multiple companies for the purpose of creating a consolidated report in Report Writer. See the Report Writer User Guide. See also What is a List?.
