Although you can display the complete tree of locations by activating this option field, it is recommended to calculate your license balances for the whole company (global). You can reconcile installation numbers from single groups, but in this case the licenses have to be associated to these groups then. Usually the license records are entered at “Gobal” or “Home”.
If you reconcile group reports and want to include global license records, you can activate the second option “include global licenses in subgroup reports”.
