Financial Statement Definitions

Overview 

• Formatting for Rows and column headers
• Budget versus actual reporting
• The ability to report on multiple accounting periods
• The ability to offset columns from the accounting period selected.
• Column calculations for amounts or percentages

Once your Financial Statement Definition has been completely defined, including columns and rows, a Custom Report can then be run.

Create a Financial Statement Definition

1. Navigate to Accounting Home and under Reporting, click Financial Statement Definitions.
2. Click New. The New Financial Statement Definition dialog box displays. 
   Note: Required fields display with a red asterisk (*).
3. Enter a Financial Statement Definition Name.
4. (Optional) Enter Description for this definition.
5. The Percentage Decimal Places textbox defaults to 2. If you want to change this number, enter a different one to indicate the number of decimal places you want to display in percentage fields. This field determines the way percentage calculations will be set. For example, if Percentage Decimal Places is set to 1, in the Report Viewer percentage calculations will be rounded to 1 decimal place (ex., 2.55% will be rounded to 2.6%).
