Before you start a new year in either a parent or subsidiary consolidated company, be sure that you update your consolidated company first.
If a new year is started in the parent or one of the subsidiary consolidated companies:
- Start a new year in all the other parent or subsidiary consolidated companies
- Update the consolidated company.
