Local modeling refers to enhancements made to the Financial Consolidation schedule. These include:

• line item detail rows
• formulas specific to Excel
• graphs specific to Excel
• workbook tabs
• rows and columns specific to Excel

If you have figures that you have not been asked to provide but that you find useful, you can add line item detail to your schedule. This enhancement will enable you to analyze your figures in more detail.

Local modeling can only be viewed by the user who made the enhancements at local level. The enhancements are only valid for the schedule that they were made in.

However, if local modeling was performed for October 2003, it will automatically be carried forward to November 2003. This will only be possible if the schedule has the same configuration and the category does not change.
