Consolidated Accounts

Purpose and when to use this record

Define the common reporting accounts that receive mapped balances from individual stores.

At a glance

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on consolidated accounts. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a Consolidated Account

Brisk Consolidated Accounts create screen displayed with fictional documentation-demo data.
The Consolidated Accounts create screen in the Brisk documentation demo.

Create a Consolidated Account after searching for the person, organization, item, location, or resource under alternate names and identifiers. Merge or correct an existing master record instead of creating a duplicate.

  1. Select the business context first.

  2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Code, Name, and Statement Type.

  3. Review Statement Type, and Active deliberately; these choices control availability or workflow rather than merely describing the record.

  4. Save the Consolidated Account, then confirm Code, and Name on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this Consolidated Account in Adjustment Lines, Adjustment Snapshot Lines, General Ledger Snapshot Lines, and General Ledger Snapshot States, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Delete a Consolidated Account

Delete this Consolidated Account only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

If the record is merely obsolete, use Active to remove it from future use while preserving existing references.

Before confirming, check for related Adjustment Lines, Adjustment Snapshot Lines, General Ledger Snapshot Lines, General Ledger Snapshot States, and Store Account Map Snapshots, plus the remaining screen fields. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Code, and Name. After confirmation, return to the Consolidated Accounts list and make sure only the intended Consolidated Account was removed.

Review Consolidated Account details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Consolidated Account currently means. Verify Statement Type, and Active before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the Consolidated Account with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Verify this Consolidated Account in Adjustment Lines, Adjustment Snapshot Lines, General Ledger Snapshot Lines, and General Ledger Snapshot States, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Edit an existing Consolidated Account

Edit this Consolidated Account to keep the same real-world party, item, location, or resource accurate. Do not repurpose it for a different entity after activity is attached.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare Code, and Name with the supporting document or approved request.

  2. Recheck Statement Type, and Active. These values are most likely to change store mapping and consolidated statement results.

  3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Consolidated Account now appears under the expected Statement Type, and Active.

After the change: Verify this Consolidated Account in Adjustment Lines, Adjustment Snapshot Lines, General Ledger Snapshot Lines, and General Ledger Snapshot States, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Find and review consolidated accounts

Brisk Consolidated Accounts list screen displayed with fictional documentation-demo data.
The Consolidated Accounts list screen in the Brisk documentation demo.

Use the Consolidated Accounts list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Code, and Name. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

Open the Consolidated Account whose Code, and Name match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck Statement Type, and Active rather than creating a replacement immediately.
