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.
