How to: Test Files Before Consolidating
After you have set up the consolidated company and the business units, and you have exported the necessary data, you are ready to do the consolidation. This means you can transfer the figures from the business units to the consolidated company.
Before you do so, it is a good idea to check whether there are differences between the basic information in the business units and in the consolidated company. There are two reports for this purpose: one for testing a database and one for testing a file.
For more information, see How to: Test Databases Before Consolidating.
To test files before consolidating
Open the consolidated company. For more information, see How to: Select a Company
In the Search box, enter Business Units, and then choose the related link.Open the Business Unit List window.
In the Business Unit List window, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Test File.
Enter the name of the file to be tested, and then choose Print.
The report is similar to the Test Database report.
