This article explains how to set up a new accounting connection for a multi-entity,  consolidated company in ScaleXP: 

1. Log in to ScaleXP:          app.scalexp.com Note:  If you need to create a new entity in the system, see How to create a new organisation in ScaleXP; add a company. 

2. Add an accounting connection to each of the new subsidiary entities: Choose the entity you wish to connect first.  Find the list of entities in ScaleXP in the box at the top right of your screen. Go to the page Load Data, Connections. Ensure you are in the desired entity (name in the box at the top right).  If not, use the dropdown menu in that box to select the correct one. Click on the large square button: + Add a Connection.

• Select the accounting system you use for that entity (for example, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage50, etc.) and follow the prompts to log into your system.
  • Be careful to select the correct entity to link from your accounting system - that is, the one which matches the description in the box at the top right of the page.
  • Note:  If the system you are using is not cloud based, such as Sage50, then you will need to add a step to connect to ScaleXP with the help of our admin team, so get in touch to arrange an online session:  support@scalexp.com
• Set the parameters for the data you wish to sync into ScaleXP:
  • Choose a Start Date for your Actuals (accounting data).  We recommend using the start of your financial year going 1-2 years back.
  • If you wish to import one or more budgets from your accounting system, turn on the Auto Sync budget data and select the Start Date and End Date for the budget(s) you wish to upload.
  • Select a Customer Start Date for invoice level customer revenue detail.  Choose a date which includes the earliest sales invoice impacting the deferred revenue and customer analysis you wish to review in ScaleXP.
  • If your invoices use the American date format (Month/Day/Year), then change the Date Format default, initially set to the British/International system of Day/Month/Year.
  • If you use Xero Tracking Codes or QuickBooks Classes and wish to have those imported to ScaleXP, turn on the toggle for Import tracking categories.
• Click on the Sync button.    The system will update you on data progress.
• Set your financial year start month:  If your financial year starts in a month other than January,  go to the Settings, Organisation Settings page and change it under the Financial section at the top of the page.  (Settings found is in the top black bar; Organisation settings is in the left sidebar of the Settings page).

Repeat this connection process for each of the entities to be consolidated. 

Once you have linked all the subsidiaries, go back to the first connection. 

You are now ready to set up your P&L and Balance sheet and configure your customer revenue data.
