Troubleshooting Consolidated Files FAQ
Q: Balances for one of the external client files are not reflected after consolidation
Resolving broken links in a consolidated file
If externally maintained client files are included in the entity structure, they must be physically on your hard drive or a file path you have access to when you re-consolidate. If they are not present, Working Papers will display an icon indicating you have a broken link.
To resolve the problem, in the Consolidation dialog, place the file in the path specified in the Entity Properties dialog or update the path to the client file.
Q:Only 50% of each balance in Company A is supposed to be consolidated but when I look at the Working Trial Balance, I see 100% of each balance.
When you look at the Working Trial Balance in a consolidation structure, you will see all balances at 100%. The contribution fractions and percentages are only applied to the documents. Thus, to see the balances with contribution percentages applied, print or preview the documents for the subsidiary involved.
