When you select multiple entities and switch to consolidated view, the report displays:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| [Entity name] | One column per selected entity showing that entity's figures |
| Subtotal | Sum of all individual entity columns |
| Eliminations | Intercompany amounts flagged for elimination (see Intercompany documents) |
| Consolidated | Subtotal minus Eliminations — the final consolidated figure |
Good to know: The "Consolidated" option appears at the top of the entity selector dropdown alongside individual entities.
| Filter | Notes |
|---|---|
| Entity selector | Multi-select with a Consolidated toggle at the top |
| Date range | Start and end date for the report period |
| Currency | Entity Crcy (each entity in its own functional currency) or Group Crcy (all entities translated to the group currency). Note: Entity Crcy cannot be used when selected entities have different currencies |
| Comparison | Compare with 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 prior months, or 1, 2, or 3 prior years |
| Custom properties | Filter report data by custom property values |

Click Entity order (the ↕ icon button above the report) to reorder the entity columns via drag and drop. The updated order is saved and persists for all users.
Click any cell to drill into the underlying ledger transactions:
Drilldown results can be filtered further and exported as CSV.
Eliminations are driven by the Intercompany configuration set up in Accounting → Chart of accounts. Lines flagged with the Eliminate toggle in intercompany journal entries are included in the Eliminations column. For more detail, see Intercompany documents.
