FI-LC: User-assignable Additional Fields

Description

To improve the flexibility of the elimination functionality, you can now assign further additional fields during document entry. Thus, you can freely assign three additional 10-character fields in addition to the standard account assignments, for example:

Note:

Consolidation does not support manual entry of the additional fields. This means that you must transfer the relevant data into consolidation using the automatic transfer methods, which include, for example, direct posting and rollup.

The extended functionality covers in the following areas:

Posting transaction
===================

Depending on the document type, you can assign additional fields regardless of the posting level chosen. These are also transferred to the automatic line items, if they are unique in the document.

IC elimination
==============

Here two default settings are important:

With options 1 through 3, the additional fields are also assigned for the differential items.

Database lists
==============

When listing Totals records and Journal Entries, the additional fields can be displayed accordingly.

Report Writer
=============

The additional fields can be evaluated in the information system using the Report Writer functions.

For information on the use of the Report Writer, please refer to the FI-SL Report Writer documentation.
