<@UER9Q3SGM>, is there an easy answer as to why? i dont have much experience with multi-book, is that just more of a long term pain?

Multibook is not for "Sub A doesn't belong to Sub B"

Multibook is for "I have a transaction I need to record two different ways"

Better to get the right Subsidiary layout than to bother with that.

points taken and sorry for the confusion but looks like it does fall under the company A but company Z is only included in the audited financials but not for internal financials

Oh then I'd probably throw a custom segment on for that.

I've done that with another client before where they insisted on being able to do different rollups... I told them "your elimination stuff probably goes all haywire doing this"

They didn't do much proper eliminating so they didn't care.

as far as i know mine wants the eliminations working properly so ill need to dig in a little deeper on what they actually need but this def helps investigating the different options

The custom segment might be a better answer there

because then you can flag the elimination JEs with that segment

I'd be more inclined to do something like the following

Most folks may not care too much about eliminations from an internal operations standpoint - so you could probably get away with that.

if Sub that isn't already internal is included in Subs that are

yes, big lift to bring on the rest of their companies

Yeah. Well, at least you've got a few options to examine. I can promise you this - you'd have to hold a gun to my head to solve that problem with Multibook.

haha great.. honestly, that's what i needed to hear
