Company Table
The first decision to make is regarding the type of controlling that the company wants to manage: if the goal is to build a system of business centers, connected by cost/revenue value shifting logic, in order to enhance the analytical accounting in all its features, it is necessary to enter the Company Table and set the management flag for Controlling, which is found in the Other Settings tab.
We will continue the configuration by moving to the Departments grid at the top right, where we will set the frequency to monthly (which is the default option) or weekly.
Generally in controlling, we only value the economic movements of costs and revenues; if we want to include balance sheet items as well, we can set the flag 'Import asset in controlling'.
If the company is only interested in the management of mid-year accounting balances or in a basic configuration of business centers that does not involve shifting drivers between them, the Controlling management in the company table can be omitted.
