Consolidated account numbers example

Subsidiary segment

The application creates a segment called Subsidiary and designates it as the Primary segment on the Account Mask tab in the Clients screen. The mask for the subsidiary segment is XXX.
In the Account Segments screen, the application assigns the subsidiary client number (based on the order it's listed in the Subsidiary clients list) as the code and the subsidiary client name as the description.
For the master client, the code can't be modified, and no new codes can be added.

Core segment

The application creates a segment called Account and designates it as the Core segment on the Account Mask tab in the Clients screen.
The mask for the core segment is based on the grouping type selected in the Consolidate Clients screen and is comprised of all Xs. When you consolidate by account number, the application creates the mast based on the longest mask of all subsidiary clients. When you consolidate by account grouping or tax code, the application creates the mask based on the longest core account number that will be created from the subsidiary clients.

Example: Account number grouping type

The account numbers from each subsidiary become the core accounts in the master client, and the descriptions for the consolidated accounts match the descriptions for the supporting account from each subsidiary.
If the subsidiary clients use different account formats, the application creates the consolidated accounts accordingly. The mask will be as long as the longest subsidiary account.

Example: Account grouping with no subcode detail grouping type

Example: Account grouping with subcode detail grouping type

Example: Tax code grouping type

The application creates accounts for tax codes that are assigned to at least 1 account in a subsidiary client.
If a subsidiary client uses custom tax codes, the application creates the consolidated accounts using the custom tax code as the core segment, separated by a decimal.
If a tax code includes a tax code unit for any subsidiary account, the unit will be included as part of the account. The application places the unit before the core segment.
