Multi-Company setup
NOTE: You do not need a special license to set up and run multi-company reports.
The Multi-Company Setup tool described here is available for Visma Business, Visma Global, and Visma Administration.
Before you start running the Multi-Company Setup, it is important to check that you have enabled all companies, parent and subsidiaries, in the connection in Data connection. In addition, you must have selected the Enable multi-company checkbox in Administration > Units > the client > Details.
Next, a user with the Manage data connection permission sets up OneStop Reporting for multi-company reporting through the Multi-Company Setup. During the setup, you determine the parent company and its subsidiaries per data connection. Please note that we do not support a hierarchy of companies, simply two levels; one parent company and its subsidiaries.
After you have installed the Multi-Company Setup, a new Group Reporting dimensions will appear in Report Designer. When you build reports for group reporting, you must use data items from these dimensions.
NOTE: When you run consolidated reports, you must run the report for the parent company.
