Set up a multi-tier consolidations

Use the multi-tier consolidations area if you have division or divisional consolidation entities that must pay estimated or extension payments. This area is part of the setup area for filing groups. Multi-tier is a term used for establishing the relation between division and divisional consolidation entities. It can also be used for sub consolidations to create a relationship with subsidiaries or divisions if they're intended to behave like divisional consolidations.

  • Filing groups are kept in synch with multi-tier consolidation selections even if the filing group already has any of the mapped divisions or divisional consolidations as entities assigned. If the filing entity is at the divisional consolidation level then the divisions and divisional consolidation will be kept together as a related set.
  • Multi-tier selections are respected throughout the system when it needs to know the filing entities.
  • Hover over the entity to see if it's assigned to any filing group.
  • An unmapped list of entities is maintained at the top of this multi-tier consolidation view.
