Statement Column References (tffst1111m000)

Use this session to maintain column references.

 

General
Financial Statement
An account structure that can consist of child statement accounts and parent statement accounts. At the child level, the statement accounts are linked to ledger accounts and dimensions. With a financial statement, you can collect the desired financial values from the General Ledger and Budgeting modules, and use this data for internal and external financial reporting and analysis.
Statement Column
The column number.
Variable
The elements included in the formula used to calculate the column value.
Note
  • The variable must be included in the formula defined for the selected statement column in the Formula field of the Statement Columns (tffst1105m000) session. Otherwise, this variable is not available.
  • Each variable can take up a maximum of ten positions.
Sequence Number
The sequence number allows you to define a number of data for one variable.

Example

Formula:
(a-b)/c

 

The following data is defined for the variables:

Variableaabc
Sequence Number1211
Value10025020050

 

The column value is calculated as follows:

((100 + 250) - 200) / 50) = 3

Variable "a" is calculated by adding the values 100 and 250

The default value is: last sequence number + 1. If required, you can overwrite this value.

Details
Column Reference
The data linked to a financial statement column that allows to calculate the column values.

Other Column
The number of the column whose data you want to link to the selected variable/sequence number combination.
Note
  • This field is only available if you selected Other Column in the Column Reference field.
  • LN will assign the total column value to the selected combination, by aggregating the values of all variables linked to this column.
Period Details
Period From
The first year of which you want to use the data to calculate the variables.
Note

This field is only available if you selected Fixed in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Period From
The first period of which you want to use the data to calculate the variables.

This field is only available if you selected Fixed in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Period From - Period Shift Correction
Enter the number of periods to deviate from the start period, which is determined by the Fiscal Period and Reporting Period fields in the Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1249m000) session. When this session is run, LN will take into account the number of periods entered here. To count backwards a number of periods, type "-" before the number.
Note

This field is only available if you selected Variable based on first period in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Example

In the Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1249m000), this period selection is defined:

From period:2
To period:4

 

However, for a specific statement column you want to select the values of periods 1 to 6, whereas for the other statement columns you only want to include values of periods 2 to 4. In that case, enter this data:

Deviation
From period:2-1
To period:4+2

 

In the specific column the values of periods 1 to 6 will be selected.

Period To
The last year of which you want to use the data to calculate the variables.
Note

This field is only available if you selected Fixed in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Period To
The last period of which you want to use the data to calculate the variables.
Note

This field is only available if you selected Fixed in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Period To - Period Shift Correction
Enter the number of periods to deviate from the end period, which is determined by the Fiscal Period and Reporting Period fields in the Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1249m000) session. When this session is run, LN will take into account the number of periods entered here. To count backwards a number of periods, type "-" before the number.
Note

This field is only available if you selected Variable based on last period in the Variable or Fixed Year/Period Range field.

Example

In the Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1249m000), this period selection is defined:

From period:2
To period:4

 

However, for a specific statement column you want to select the values of periods 1 to 6, whereas for the other statement columns you only want to include values of periods 2 to 4. In that case, enter this data:
