GLDENTITY Entities

The GLDENTITY dimension reflects organizational structures that operate as independent units from their owners and other organizations.

The entities record financial transactions, assets, and liabilities, and report independently of the personal finances. This separation ensures accurate financial statements and a clear view of the business's performance.

The GLDENTITY hierarchy may be represented as a flat list of entities with the Total element above, or more detailed entity structure with different subtotals.

Built-in elements:

This table shows the GLDENTITY dimension built-in elements:

Element ID Parent ID Name

N.A. TOTAL_ENTITY Unassigned
Note: Use the TOTAL_ENTITY element to create the Enterprise_Perspective. You can configure the Enterprise_Perspective further by selecting additional elements in Business Modeling.
