Example: Set Up Net Income for Full Consolidation
This example illustrates how to set up net income accounts in the general ledger so that data flows to the balance sheet. You’ll create 2 child accounts that roll up to your general ledger Net Income account. When completed as part of full consolidation, the data rolls up in the level hierarchy with the appropriate minority adjustments.
Parent Company owns 80% of a subsidiary called Child Company. You want the net income account in the Income Statement to flow properly into the net asset account in the Balance Sheet. You also want data to roll up to the parent company with adjustments based on ownership.

The
Net Income
account has 2 child accounts:
- Net Income (Pre-Adj).
- Minority Interest Adjustment(system account).
Both accounts display automatically on the Income Statement sheet because their parent account already exists on the sheet.
Data in:
- Net Income account moves to the Net Income (Pre-Adj) account.
- The rollup at the parent level is the raw total of the subsidiaries before any adjustments.
Once you define these accounts as part of the full consolidation method, the system account automatically calculates the minority interest. The account then subtracts the minority from the rollup value at the parent level. Example: If Parent owns 80% of Child, the system account multiplies the Net Income value by 20%, reducing the value for the Parent rollup.
To automate the data flow from your Income Statement to the Balance Sheet, set up the net asset accounts.
