| Maintain separate balance sheets by Organization
|
Select this option to have Vision keep track of every Balance Sheet transaction by organization. This enables you to print a separate Balance Sheet for each organization you have established. If you do not select this option, the Balance Sheet is consolidated.
With Vision Organization Reporting, all of your postings to revenue and expense accounts flow to individual organizations. You can print the Income Statement by individual organization or consolidate it for the entire firm.
If you want to maintain separate Balance Sheets by organization, you must identify the organization in each transaction that affects Balance Sheet accounts (those in 100.00 to 399.99 range) or non-operating accounts (those in the 800.00 to 999.99 range). Vision identifies the organization from its association with the project number that is entered during data entry, which means that you must enter a project number with every Balance Sheet or non-operating account.
Maintaining separate Balance Sheets also means that you must enter an organization for each bank code through Bank Code Setup and for each accounts payable liability code through A/P Liability Code Setup.
If you always want to post to the project's organization, you need not enter separate liability codes.
If you do not want to maintain separate Balance Sheets, all implicit and explicit postings to Balance Sheet and non-operating accounts will flow to the
Default Organization.
Multicompany
If you use the Vision Multicompany feature, Vision selects this option by default. This allows you to identify the company that "owns" an account when an employee enters a balance sheet transaction for an account available to more than one company.
|
| Default Organization
|
If you choose to produce only a consolidated Balance Sheet, any postings that you make to Balance Sheet and non-operating accounts will flow to the default organization. This occurs because you will not have to enter a project number to identify an individual organization.
If you select the
Maintain separate balance sheets by organization option, Vision disables this field. Each Balance Sheet transaction requires a project number.
If you do not select the
Maintain separate balance sheets by organization option, Vision requires that you enter the Default Organization. You must also link each transaction posting to an organization.
If you later decide to maintain separate balance sheets, all prior transactions will be assigned to this default organization. You may want to reclassify charges to a different organization.
