It answers questions about combining ledger data from subsidiaries and about setting up and posting transactions between partner companies. Path: [Business functionality](../../business-functionality.md) > [Finance](../finance.md) > Multi-site and international organizations · tier official · system finance · narrative reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview This area covers how Business Central supports organizations that run several sites, subsidiaries or business units. The main page describes the hub-and-spoke business model and lists the capabilities involved: financial consolidation, intercompany transactions, multi-currency, multi-language, a company hub and data exchange. Two subtopics go into detail. The consolidation pages explain how to combine general ledger data from several companies into a consolidated company, in a simple or an advanced setup. The intercompany pages explain how to set up partners, a shared chart of accounts and dimensions, and how to post and process intercompany documents and journals. Start with the overview page to see which capability fits your structure. Then use the consolidation pages for reporting across companies, and the intercompany pages for day-to-day transactions between entities. ## Key points - The overview page frames the hub-and-spoke model and lists consolidation, intercompany, multi-currency, multi-language, company hub and data exchange. - Company consolidation combines general ledger data from subsidiaries or business units into a consolidated company. - Consolidation supports different charts of accounts, currencies, fiscal years and environments. - Consolidation can be set up simply or in advanced mode. - Intercompany setup covers partners, a shared chart of accounts and dimensions. - Intercompany transactions are posted through documents and journals and handled via the inbox and outbox. - Purchase costs can be allocated to partner companies. - Intercompany has 5 pages and consolidation has 2. ## Subtopics - [Consolidate financial data from multiple companies](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/consolidate-financial-data-from-multiple.md) (2 pages) - [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) (5 pages) ## More Learn pages - [Business Central for multi-site and international organizations](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/finance-multi-site-organizations): Business Central provides capabilities that support a hub-and-spoke business model. ## Business Central pages and reports The pages, reports and queries this hub's Learn pages name (ms.search.form, API reference), joined to the code by exact object id (data/index/docs-objects.json); a page shows the table it runs on. - [Page 240 "Business Unit List"](../../../../objects/page/240.md) · captioned "Business Units" · on [Table 220 "Business Unit"](../../../../objects/table/220.md) · via [Consolidate financial data from multiple companies](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/consolidate-financial-data-from-multiple.md) - [Page 600 "IC Dimensions"](../../../../objects/page/600.md) · captioned "Intercompany Dimensions" · on [Table 411 "IC Dimension"](../../../../objects/table/411.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 601 "IC Dimension Values"](../../../../objects/page/601.md) · captioned "Intercompany Dimension Values" · on [Table 412 "IC Dimension Value"](../../../../objects/table/412.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 602 "IC Dimension List"](../../../../objects/page/602.md) · captioned "Intercompany Dimension List" · on [Table 411 "IC Dimension"](../../../../objects/table/411.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 603 "IC Dimension Value List"](../../../../objects/page/603.md) · captioned "Intercompany Dimension Value List" · on [Table 412 "IC Dimension Value"](../../../../objects/table/412.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 605 "IC Chart of Accounts"](../../../../objects/page/605.md) · captioned "Intercompany Chart of Accounts" · on [Table 410 "IC G/L Account"](../../../../objects/table/410.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 606 "IC G/L Account Card"](../../../../objects/page/606.md) · captioned "Intercompany G/L Account Card" · on [Table 410 "IC G/L Account"](../../../../objects/table/410.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 607 "IC G/L Account List"](../../../../objects/page/607.md) · captioned "Intercompany G/L Account List" · on [Table 410 "IC G/L Account"](../../../../objects/table/410.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 608 "IC Partner List"](../../../../objects/page/608.md) · captioned "Intercompany Partners" · on [Table 413 "IC Partner"](../../../../objects/table/413.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 609 "IC Partner Card"](../../../../objects/page/609.md) · captioned "Intercompany Partner" · on [Table 413 "IC Partner"](../../../../objects/table/413.md) · via [Manage intercompany transactions](multi-site-and-international-organizatio/manage-intercompany-transactions.md) - [Page 610 "IC General Journal"](../../../../objects/page/610.md) · captioned "Intercompany General Journal" · on [Table 81 "Gen.
