Creating Items

Use

You can create items for your financial statement version. You enter a text for each item and determine which totals are output.

The texts and totals are displayed in the following evaluations:

  • The financial statements

  • The G/L account information system

  • The structured balance list

You can use the following texts and totals:

  • Short text

The short text for your item is displayed when you edit the financial statement version.

  • Start of group text

The start of group text is displayed before the selected item’s sub-items. It is only displayed if G/L accounts that show postings for the selected period are assigned under this item.

  • End of group text and the Display total indicator

The end of group text and total (total balance for all sub-items or assigned accounts) are displayed after the sub-items. They are only displayed if the indicator is set and G/L accounts that show postings for the selected period are assigned to the item.

  • Graduated total text and Display total indicator

The graduated total text and total are displayed after any existing end of group total if the Display total indicator is selected. The graduated total is the total of all account balances which occur up to this item in the structure, and which do not belong to assets, liabilities, or accounts that are not assigned.

The table below indicates which text is displayed in each evaluation:
