There are two ways to do mapping in a consolidation file.

When you create a consolidation file, you have the option to tick this box:

If you tick this, Silverfin will pull in the original account numbers from the subsidiaries. In this case it is advised to map the consolidation file afterwards. 

Please note that you cannot map the account numbers of the subsidiaries to each other. If for example, you have four subsidiaries with four different account numbers for accounts with the same purpose, these four accounts will exist separately in the consolidation. It is not possible to merge them in this case. 

If you do not tick this, we advise using the same mapping list in all the subsidiaries, so that all the accounts line up in the consolidation files, and accounts are not doubled or tripled. This is the preferred way to use mapping in consolidation files.
