The receivables/payables of a person who is Student and Patient should not
be mixed/combined. That's another problem which we are facing as each
company has its own customers & suppliers whose accounts must be managed
separately, Thus, I believe the parties of one company should not be
visible to parties of another company.

We have 30,000 registered patients and just 700 students. But, when we
create a fee invoice for student, we have to search from 30700 parties.
Rather, add the vendors/suppliers of both companies too in this list!

The management wants separate Trial Balance, Income Statement and Balance
Sheet for both the companies and also an accumulated/aggregated Income and
Balance Sheet. They also have separate finance teams for every company and
do not want the accounts of one company visible to other company's finance
team.

So, what's the way forward?

Khurram.
