Introducing the Data Consolidation Module

Note: The Data Consolidation Client module must be installed in order to use the Data Consolidation module.

The Data Consolidation module allows organizations with multiple independent offices to maintain separate accounting systems, consolidating select data for reporting needs.

Smaller subsidiary sites can maintain their own segment structure while still reporting with the primary entity. They would use the Data Consolidation Client module.

The Data Consolidation module allows the primary site to create consolidated reports. You can adjust balances with journal voucher entries, enter budget entries and adjustments and perform allocations. Subsidiary organizations send their data files using email or FTP.

Note: Not all menu selections are available in Consolidated Organizations. Therefore, even if you have installed a module that integrates into your Consolidated Organization, some menu items will not be accessible.

To Add This Module:

1. The Data Consolidation module is activated by the Administrator using an activation code. If the code does not include the Data Consolidation module, the menu selections will not be available. After the activation code has been changed, the Data Consolidation menu selections are available. These selections are integrated into the MIP Fund Accounting menu selections.
2. There are Checklists available for setting up this module and its processes. Please refer to the online help (Help>Contents and Index>Reference) for modular specific menu selections, checklists, and common questions.
