# Reporting Stores

<h2 id="bkmrk-overview">Purpose and when to use this record</h2>

Configure a participating store’s reporting endpoint, timezone, currency, transport safeguards, and synchronization health.

## At a glance

- **Identify it by:** **Name**.

- **Why care:** Consolidated results are only as reliable as store connectivity, account mapping, currency/timezone setup, and the status of the latest run.

- **Why care:** Availability and publication flags affect future use without erasing history. Prefer disabling an obsolete setup record when existing transactions still refer to it.

## Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on reporting stores. 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.

<h2 id="bkmrk-create">Create a Reporting Store</h2>

Create a Reporting Store 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: **Name**, and **Base Url**.

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

4. Save the Reporting Store, then confirm **Name** on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this Reporting Store 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.

<h2 id="bkmrk-delete">Delete a Reporting Store</h2>

Delete this Reporting Store 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 **Reporting Store Accounts**, 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 **Name**. After confirmation, return to the Reporting Stores list and make sure only the intended Reporting Store was removed.

<h2 id="bkmrk-detail">Review Reporting Store details</h2>

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Reporting Store currently means. Verify **Active** before relying on it for a decision.

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

Next check: Verify this Reporting Store 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.

<h2 id="bkmrk-update">Edit an existing Reporting Store</h2>

Edit this Reporting Store 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 **Name** with the supporting document or approved request.

2. Recheck **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 Reporting Store now appears under the expected **Active**.

After the change: Verify this Reporting Store 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.

<h2 id="bkmrk-list">Find and review reporting stores</h2>

<figure class="brisk-doc-media"><img src="https://help.brisksystems.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/article-modelconsolidationreportingstore-list-consolidation-stores.png" alt="Brisk Reporting Stores list screen displayed with fictional documentation-demo data." loading="lazy" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;"><figcaption>The Reporting Stores list screen in the Brisk documentation demo.</figcaption></figure>

Use the Reporting Stores list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare **Name**. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

- Keyword search checks **Name**, **External Id**, **Base Url**, **Timezone**, **Currency**, and **Last Error**.

- The initial order emphasizes **Name**. Select a column heading when you need a different comparison.

Open the Reporting Store whose **Name** match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck **Active** rather than creating a replacement immediately.

## What happens next

Verify this Reporting Store 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.

## Common mistakes and troubleshooting

- **The record will not save:** Recheck **Name**, and **Base Url** and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

- **The record saved but is not available where expected:** Recheck **Active**, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

- **The values look right but the result is wrong:** Compare this Reporting Store with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
