Organization vs. Organization Group
You can print the report for a specific organization or an organization group. If you select an organization group, the report includes a section for each organization in the group.

If you print a report for a consolidation, the report is for that organization
only and not for the subsidiaries that consolidate to it. If you want
to include the subsidiary organizations, select a consolidation group
(for example, **0).
