When you setup your Consolidation, Online in Dynamics 365 FO, there is an easy trick to identify what Legal Entity (LE) the Trial Balance values come from.
1. Financial Dimensions
Create a Financial Dimension and point it to the Legal Entity table.
I usually name the Financial Dimension "LE".
General ledger > Chart of Accounts > Dimensions > Financial dimensions
Note: You will probably need to put your system into Maintenance Mode to Activate the new dimension.
2. Financial Dimension Sets
I usually create a Financial Dimension Set for use in my Consolidation company [C01]
I name it MA+LE.
The Financial Dimension Set is chosen when you run a Trial Balance report from your consolidation company.
The new set will display the Main Account AND Identify the Source Legal Entity for all transactions.
General ledger > Chart of Accounts > Dimensions > Financial dimension sets
Remember to create balances after your create your new Financial Dimension Set.
3. Account Structure
Add the new Financial Dimension to the Account Structure(s) that you have assigned for your consolidation company,
General ledger > Ledger setup > Ledger
4. Consolidate, online
When you are filling out the Financial Dimensions (tab) within Consolidate, Online, choose the Company accounts specification for the LE Financial Dimension
Consolidations > Consolidate, online
Then go ahead and finish processing your consolidation.
See my prior blog for process.
5. Trial Balance report
When your run your Trial Balance report, select your new Financial Dimension Set.
We have successfully added identification of the source legal entity values in the consolidated Trial Balance report.
