# Set up G/L posting consolidation

> To set up the posting consolidation in NP Retail, follow the steps presented in this guide.

To set up the posting of General Ledger entries in a consolidation format in NP Retail, follow the provided steps:

1. Search for **POS Posting Profiles**, and choose the related link.
2. Either modify the existing **DEFAULT** setup, or create a new profile.
3. Set up the following fields to get the posting for transactions in a consolidated format per a POS unit:

* **POS Period Register No. Series** - this number series is used for assigning a document number to the posted batch when consolidation is done per a period.

* **G/L Posting Consolidation** - this field specifies how the system should consolidate the G/L entries created from POS Entry Sales Lines.  The following options are available:

  * **Unconsolidated** - posting is performed on individual transactions without consolidating the values. \

    *The POS entry document number is used as the posting document number in G/L.*

  * **Per POS Entry** - each individual posted entry is consolidated when there's more than one line with the reference to the same G/L account, dimension set ID, VAT setup, etc. for that POS entry as one line. \

    *The POS entry document number is used as the posting document number in G/L.*

  * **Per POS Period** - posting is consolidated for the entire POS period. \

    The POS entries created in the same period are posted together to the General Ledger at EOD, and the resulting G/L entries are consolidated per POS Unit, G/L account, dimension set ID, VAT setup, etc. \
    \

    If you choose to consolidate the transactions posting by POS period, it is **mandatory to set the POS period register number series**.
    The POS Period Register No Series as defined in above field, is used as the posting document number and not the POS entry document number in G/L.

  > **Tip:** Lines of type Payout and Voucher are never compressed, although the posting document number is still defined according to the compression method

  There are additional settings on consolidation of  G/L entries created from POS Entry Payment Lines in the [<ins>POS Payment Method card.</ins>](/product/retail-pos-processes-payment-method)

* **Consolidation G/L Posting Description** - this field allows user to modify the default description on the G/L entries in the General Ledger Entries. When posting to G/L, the default description of the G/L entries have a value of:

  * "Unconsolidated”, are G/L or Item description,
  * "Per POS entry" are "POS entry" + entry no from POS entry list
  * "Per POS Period" are "POS Period Register no" + entry no of POS period register \
    \


  When the transaction is posted, placeholders (values %1, %2 ... %6) can be set to replace with default values where: \

  *%1* with **"POS Unit No."** \

  *%2* with **"POS Store Code"**, \

  *%3* with **"Posting Date"**, \

  *%4* with **"POS Period Register No."** \


  You can use the placeholders %1 to %4 in any order. For example, “Posting from POS %1, Store %2, Period %4” will appear in the posted G/L description as “Posting from Unit 01, Store 01, Period 21.”
