Company Grouping

Setting up a company grouping enables you to display later (when entering your budget) a consolidated view of the budgets of its companies. This consolidated view is the total of Operational Budgets and Treasury Budgets of companies within a same grouping.

Company groupings are elements of Sage XRT Treasury data repository. You can set them up via the Setup module.

Info

You can set up company groupings only for companies that are already set up.

    The tasks of the module are displayed in this pane.
  2. Select the Company groupings option in the Setup folder.
    The setup page for company groupings is displayed with the list of the existing company groupings in a table.

The table shows the code and description of the company grouping in the first columns.
