Hi,
One of our cllients has an issue with consolidating companies. Here are the facts:
- They have an G/L account set up like: 7300-0110 and 7300-0120.
- 2 Companies x and y are consolidated into company z.
- Version: 5.00.
- G/L AccountNos are matching for all companies.
- Database = SQL.
- Process: Financial Mgt-> General Ledger-> Periodic Activities-> Consolidation -> Business Units -> <Functions> "Import Database" (=Report 90).
When the process is finished, it inserted all entries in 7300-0110 and not (what it supposed to be) in 7300-0110 AND 7300-0120.
I have a feeling that this problem is related to the SQL sorting. SQL is sorting different then in a native database.
Anyone similar problems with this consilidation issue?

But why would you think it's text? The G/L account No. is a code field.

SQL is sorting different then in a native db, using 'code' fields. One of the problems I had was in 'Account Schedules'. The RowNo on the Acc. Schedule line is a 'code' field. SQL is sorting it different and I had to change the row-numbering in order to get SQL sorted correctly. And I think something similar is going on now in the Consolidiation function.

I don't know of a SQL based fix for this, but the recommendation I do have is to point them to accounts slighting different in the top level company to see if that works. So for the consolidation portion of the g/l:
Company X and Y GL Account: 7300-0110
Consolidation debit/credit GL Account: 73000110
Not sure if it will work, but it's the best I can think of right now. Good luck!
