This help explains how to delete a group structure in Netvisor. Sometimes the group structure needs to be deleted, for example due to changes in group structures or termination of environments. Group companies cannot be terminated until they have been detached from the group structure.

You can open group reporting and group structure management in Netvisor by selecting Group reporting > Group structure.

Proceed as follows when a single company is deleted from the group, but you want to keep the figures in group reporting until the deletion date:

  • Archive the company to be deleted from the group so that the figures remain visible in group reporting until the deletion date.
  • Keep group reporting enabled in the archived company so that figures can be retrieved retrospectively.

Proceed as follows if retrospective reporting is not needed:

  • Delete the company completely from the group instead of archiving it.
  • Save the old reports before deletion if you need them later.
  • Disable group processing for the company deleted from the group once the reports have been saved.

If the group is to be deleted completely, proceed as follows:

  • Make sure that all necessary reports have been taken from the system before deleting the group.
  • Note that once the group has been deleted, reports can no longer be retrieved retrospectively.

This also applies to situations where, for example, subsidiaries are merged:

  • If you want the subsidiaries to remain reportable after the merger, do not delete the merging environments.
  • Leave the merging environments in effect with discounts.
  • In such cases, contact Netvisor support directly.
  • If there is no reporting need, delete the companies from the group structure and terminate them normally.

To be able to delete the group, first delete all subsidiaries completely from the group structure. It is not enough to move the subsidiaries to the archive; they must be completely deleted from the group structure using the checkmark behind the subsidiary.

Proceed as follows to delete subsidiaries in the Group structure view:

  1. Select the subsidiary to be deleted.
  2. From the checkmark behind the subsidiary, select deletion.
  3. Repeat the deletion separately for all subsidiaries.

When all subsidiaries have been deleted, the “Delete” button for the group structure is activated on the Group tab, and the group structure can be deleted completely.

  1. Go to Group reporting > Group structure > Group tab.
  2. Make sure that all subsidiaries have been deleted from the group structure.
  3. Select the “Delete” button of the group structure to delete the group structure completely.

Once the group structure has been deleted, terminate the group companies normally through the Store. You can find more information about termination in the help Netvisor -palvelusopimuksen irtisanominen.


Transferring a company from one sub-group to another.

Proceed as follows if a sub-group is removed, but one of its companies is transferred to another group structure:

  1. First save the necessary reports from the group.
  2. Terminate the companies of the sub-group from the group.
  3. Archive the companies of the sub-group to a specific date.
  4. After this, transfer the company of the sub-group to another group.
  5. Set the start date of the new group later than the termination and archive date in the other sub-group.

Frequently asked questions

Question: What do I need to do before I can terminate group companies?
Answer: First detach the group companies from the group structure by deleting them from the group structure. Only after that can you terminate the group companies through the Store.

Question: Can I archive a subsidiary and still retrieve its figures for group reporting?
Answer: Yes, as long as group reporting is still enabled in the archived company. In that case, figures can be retrieved retrospectively up to the deletion date.

Question: What happens to group reports when the group is deleted completely?
Answer: Once the group has been deleted, reports can no longer be retrieved retrospectively. Save all necessary reports before deleting the group.

Question: Is it enough to move subsidiaries to the archive so that I can delete the group?
Answer: No, it is not enough. Subsidiaries must be completely deleted from the group structure using the checkmark behind the subsidiary before the group can be deleted.

Question: How should I proceed in a merger situation if I still want reporting from the merging subsidiaries?
Answer: Do not delete the merging environments, but leave them in effect with discounts. In such cases, contact Netvisor support directly.

Question: How do I transfer a company from one sub-group to another?
Answer: First save the reports from the group, then terminate and archive the company from the sub-group to a specific date, and transfer the company to another group so that the start date of the new group is later than the termination and archive date in the previous sub-group.
