Rolling out a U.S. entity inside an existing ERP is less about licenses and more about **data contracts**: how transactions flow between parent and child, who approves them, and which reports must reconcile on day one.
Chart of accounts: decide merge vs. map early
Either extend the parent COA with U.S.-specific segments or maintain a mapping table. Half-measures create shadow spreadsheets—avoid them.
Banking and treasury touchpoints
Bank feeds, positive pay, and dual approvals should be modeled in test before go-live. MASC coordinates signatory workflows so technical cutover does not outpace operational readiness.
Controls that auditors actually read
Document who can post journals, who can approve vendor creation, and how intercompany eliminations are validated. Lightweight evidence beats heavyweight policy decks.
With the checklist complete, the U.S. rollout becomes a controlled configuration change—not a rescue mission.
