MANAGE REORGANIZATION STRUCTURES

A reorganization is an alternate organization that you can use to generate the Financial Statements report, Financial Statement Detail report, and Trial Balance report by reorganization.

You link each reorganization to an existing organization. When you generate reports by reorganization, the account and organization information is presented based on the reorganization to which each organization is linked, rather than based on the original organization charged.

On this screen, define the structure and the top-level element of each reorganization. You can also use this screen to set up the structure of the remaining levels of the reorganization. Those levels can vary by reorganization; you can have multiple reorganization structures. You specify the length of the top level of the reorganization on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen; that setting applies to all reorganizations.

You can set up reorganizations at any time after you link accounts and organizations.
