GLDACCOUNT Accounts

The GLDACCOUNT dimension provides a structured view of local charts of accounts and group accounts based on the configuration in Business Modeling.

The GLDACCOUNT dimension organizes both local and group account structures. You can view account hierarchies and their relationships. The additional top nodes are added to reflect calculated metrics and KPIs with the KPI Account Group Mapping and the Decision Tree. The Decision Tree is used in the C-Suite dashboard (Enterprise_Perspective).

User benefits of the GLDACCOUNT dimension include:

  • Clear visibility of both local and group account structures
  • Mapping of local accounts to group accounts, to simplify the analysis of consolidated financial data
  • Detailed account attributes for reporting and analysis

Attributes

This table shows the attributes of local and group accounts:

... Custom properties defined in the Account business object Various As configured

Use the Group Account property in the Accounts business object to map local accounts to group accounts.

Tip: To assign the base local accounts to KPI Account Groups, use the KPI Account Group property.

The Group Account and KPI Account Group properties affect the GLDACCOUNT structures but are not published to OLAP as attributes.

The ACCTYPE attribute manages the global sign conversion. The Format_String attribute controls how the amount format is displayed. The remaining attributes provide additional information about intercompany or segment relations, but don't support business logic or user interface filtering.
