# Consolidation (GL103000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> The parent company uses this form to set up consolidation with its consolidation units or subsidiaries.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

The parent company uses this form to set up consolidation with its consolidation units or
subsidiaries.
The system uses the information provided on this form to import consolidation
data from the consolidation units.
For more detailed information, see: [General ledger consolidation overview](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-consolidations/general-ledger-consolidation-overview/index.md).

This window is available only if the **General ledger consolidation** functionality is enabled in the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/index.md) window.

## The window toolbar

<table class="vismanet-table">

    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">

<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Synchronises the data for the selected consolidation units or imports the list of ledgers from the units. In the unit or subsidiary, these ledgers should be marked as <strong>Consolidation source</strong> in the <a href="/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/ledgers-gl201500/index.md">Ledgers (GL201500)</a> window.</td>

## The top part

In this area, you can select a consolidation segment by a number that defines the position of the segment in the segmented key.

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>

<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>The ID of a segment in the subaccount segmented key of the parent company.</p>
<p>You

segment value of a subsidiary to this segment.</p>
<p>The appropriate segment values are specified for each required subsidiary in the <strong>Consolidation segment value</strong> column of the current window.</p>
<p>Note that the consolidation segment is not involved in mapping because the subsidiary does not contain such a segment in its subaccounts.</p>

## The table
