Hi Sofie,

• Are you structuring the entities as a company and branches or are they independent companies? When you see "those accounts are duplicated and are shown under expenses from my local entities", it seems like the local company is a branch, and mapping is not necessary.
• When you create a ledger group, and assigning journals, make sure that all the consolidated companies are selected.

Hello,

Your issue seems related to configuration gaps in both the multi-ledger setup and account mapping for consolidation.

1. Missing data from subsidiaries
   Ensure that:

• All subsidiary companies are properly included in the consolidation scope
• The multi-ledger is correctly linked to those companies
• Consolidation journals/entries are generated (data won’t appear automatically without this step)

1. Duplicate / misclassified accounts
   This typically happens when:

• Account mapping between subsidiaries and parent is inconsistent
• Even with Account Code, the parent chart must have a clear one-to-one mapping with subsidiary accounts
• Check if multiple subsidiary accounts are pointing to different parent accounts unintentionally

You’re right that the merge option is optional, but correct mapping is critical for accurate results.

Hope this works for you! Feel free to reach out for further discussion.
