What is a reporting item?
What is a reporting item?
A reporting item can be enhanced by assigning it a set of selection criteria (FS items, consolidation units, document types, and subitems), making it more specific and useful in reports.
How can reporting items be organized?
How can reporting items be organized?
Reporting items can be arranged in hierarchies, which allow for better organization and navigation of data in reports.
When is the value of a reporting item calculated?
When is the value of a reporting item calculated?
The value of a reporting item is calculated during group report runtime, taking into account the specific selection criteria and data from different areas of the system.

Study Notes
Global Hierarchies
- Global hierarchies are centrally managed in the "Manage Global Hierarchies" app.
- Hierarchies can be created, copied, imported (from worksheet files like Excel), and exported.
- SAP S/4HANA hierarchies can be imported as nodes into consolidation hierarchies (e.g., profit centers).
- Global hierarchies are stored centrally and used by Fiori analytical apps at runtime.
- Hierarchies support various master data objects (bank accounts, cost centers, profit centers, functional areas, financial statement versions, products, consolidation objects).
Key Benefits of Global Hierarchies
- Unified hierarchy maintenance for diverse master data.
- Time-dependent hierarchies allow for changes in hierarchy structure over time, reflected in reports.
- Single dashboard for managing hierarchies.
Legal and Management Consolidation Reporting
- Global hierarchies facilitate both legal and management consolidation reporting.
- Users can create multiple hierarchies for the same dimension (e.g., legal & management consolidation roll-ups for consolidation units).
- Matrix-like reporting is possible with hierarchies of different dimensions (e.g., consolidation unit by region vs. profit center by line of business).
Reporting Item Hierarchies
- Reporting item hierarchies are also possible, enabling selection criteria for data (FS items, consolidation units, document types, subitems).
- Reporting item values are calculated at report runtime.
- There are five pre-built reporting item hierarchies: X1 (Equity), X2 (Cash Flow), X3 (Comprehensive Income), X4 (P&L by Function), and X5 (IC Reconciliation).
Matrix Elimination Report
- Matrix Elimination reports show data for organizational units (consolidation units, profit centers, segments) that have been eliminated and consolidated hierarchically.
- Elimination is indicated using a hierarchical leaf structure ending with "_ELIM".
