To add a new subsidiary to an active accounting book:

When Full Multi-Book Accounting is enabled, new subsidiaries are automatically saved as inactive. This enables you to add new subsidiaries after secondary accounting books have been added and activated.

  1. Go to Setup > Company > Classifications > Subsidiaries > New and create the new subsidiary record.
  2. Go to Setup > Accounting > Multi-Book Accounting > Accounting Books.
  3. Click Edit for the accounting book to which you want to add the subsidiary.
  4. In the Subsidiary list, select the new subsidiary, and click Save.
  5. If Foreign Currency Management is enabled, set the base currency.
  6. Repeat steps 3 – 5, as needed.
  7. Go to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries, and edit the new subsidiary record.
  8. Clear the Subsidiary is Inactive box, and click Save.

To add an existing active subsidiary without transactions to an active accounting book, edit the subsidiary record and check the Subsidiary is Inactive box. Then follow the same procedure as for new subsidiaries.
