The Reporting Library

The Reporting Library widely depends from the Project Specifications and Account Schema. The BFC Application, by default, provides only the following Reports leaving to the Project Team the ownership of its realization.

> Balance Sheet

> Profit and Loss

> Cash Flow

The Reports above are available as much as Group Reports and Local Reports. These latter are available in the Local Reporting Capsule.

Reporting Account

The Reporting Account is a grouping criteria that sits on the top of the Group Account and that facilitates the realization of Statutory Schema by regulation driven.

Additional Reporting Account dimensions can be added on demand if multiple schemas must be implemented.

This Grouping Criteria doesn't influence the Consolidation Logics and Process. It can be held for pure reporting purposes. If the Group Chart of Account already matches with the Reporting Needs the usage of the Reporting Account is of course not mandatory.

 

The following logics must be implemented :

> Code and Description : Load or Insert proper Code and Description for all the Accounts

> Relationships with the Group Accounts : Load or Insert proper relationship between n Group Account and one Reporting Account. This can be done in the Account Grouping Screen

> Row Format Template : please refer to Board Help On Line , how to Format Row Items. You can use the Reporting Account Template (that is provided empty but already setup in the default report).

> Account Rule Visualization Order : it can be done with a proper Coding (Order by Code option) or using a Sort By info-cube (S Reporting Account Order by).

> Account Rule : Account items rule must be provided for calculated items. You can use the Reporting Account Rule (that is provided empty but already setup in the default report).
