Hi, we are being audited by CRA next month and they want us to download our detail from AR and AP in the GL. We consolidate the sub-ledger transactions at each month end and send it to the GL. We then do a period end in the sub-ledgers. All accounts in the GL show consolidated only. Is there any way we can go back to detail within the GL? They want electronic copy not hard copy.
The tech at CRA says he's sure that Adagio can be "un-done" but we cannot find a way in any of the report functions. Any ideas?

Hi LJA

There is no way Adagio Ledger can be "un-done". Unless you have a VERY GOOD reason, you should not be consolidating activity prior to retrieving into the Ledger. You should also not set up any GL accounts as consolidating accounts, nor should you Consolidate Posted Transactions, again unless you have a VERY GOOD reason.

A VERY GOOD reason does not include "the files will be too big", "the reports will use up too much paper", or "it will be hard to find the transaction with so much detail".

The consolidate features date from the days before gigabytes, PDF's, or drilldown. In other words, from the ACCPAC Plus days.

In addition to your issue, consolidating also prevents you from unposting Ledger batches should you so desire.

Sorry for the bad news. Consider it a lesson learned.

Steve's right. Hopefully you still have the backup copies you made prior to doing the consolidation.

PS. There is an option in the Company Profile Integration tab to prevent someone from consolidating the G/L transactions, even inadvertantly.

As long as you did not purge your A/R and A/P History and you have GridView, I believe the A/R Transactions G/L Details and the A/P G/L Disbursements may be used to stitch enough information together to meet CRA's requirements. You might want to give your Adagio expert a call.
