Study Notes
Financial Statement Versions (FSV)
- FSV organizes general ledger accounts, structured as trees for reporting tasks.
- Used to generate balance sheets and P&L statements, enabling multiple formats for financial reports.
- Configuration includes Chart of Accounts (COA), General Ledger Accounts, and various attributes.
Creating Financial Statement Versions
- Transaction code OB58 or SPRO allows access to create new FSV.
- Enter details like Fin.Stmt.Version key, descriptive name, maintenance language, and item key settings.
- Save changes prompts a Change Request for version tracking.
Editing Financial Statement Versions
- Use the “Financial Statement Items” button to adjust FSV structure after creation.
- Allows addition of necessary financial statement items for comprehensiveness.
Standard Configuration Process
- Activate by entering OB58 to view existing standard FSV and create new entries.
- Item keys linked automatically or manually; commonly recommended for efficiency.
- Group account number and functional area parameters define the framework for financial reporting.
Consolidation Versions Overview
- Consolidation versions allow separate data areas in the database for diverse reporting needs.
- Enables consolidation across different currencies or financial data sets (actuals, budgets, simulations).
- New versions require copying existing versions, leading to modified settings as needed.
Version Types
- Standard Version: No reference version; serves as the base for extension versions.
- Group Currency Extension: Derived from another version, causing differences in group currency.
- Extension Version: Shares the group currency of a reference version but allows alternative data handling.
Reference Versions
- Act as the foundation for group currency and extension versions.
- Enable reporting for simulation scenarios or differing values in various currencies.
Example of Group Currency Consolidation
- Multiple currencies like EUR, USD, and CNY managed with specific extension versions running synchronously.
- Each version associated with predefined roles in data handling (standard, extension).
Ledger Preparation for Group Reporting
- Required to maintain either a Source Ledger or Group Reporting Preparation Ledger depending on the reporting year.
- Integrated settings (Use Plan Data Integration) should align across standard and extension versions for consistency.
Fiscal Year Variant (FYV) Guidance
- Same FYV must be used across related versions to reduce complexity and enhance data comparison capabilities.
- Consistent FYV recommended for all time-dependent settings to streamline operations.
