GL Reporting: Financial Reporting Subdimensions PDF Print E-mail
User Rating: / 0

Financial Reporting Subdimensions (FRS) is used to sub-divide the codes for an analysis dimension into meaningful parts. This is only possible if different sections of the analysis codes have different meanings. For example, the 2nd and 3rd characters of a 5 character product code might identify the product type.
Subdimensions can be used by the Financials report writers to refine the codes used to select transactions for reporting. Using the product code example above, you could create a subdimension to identify the product type portion of the code and use this to restrict the transactions selected for a report to those for a particular product type.
A subdimension code uses a mask character, an '*' asterisk, to identify the positions of the code that are to be ignored. It leaves the important characters in the code blank.
You can define several subdimensions for a dimension, for example where different parts of the code are to be used to extract details for different reporting requirements.

Business Unit Maintenance PDF Print E-mail
User Rating: / 0
Overview
In SunSystems, a business unit represents an operating entity. You may need just one business unit if you are accounting for a single operating company. Alternatively, in a multi-national organization, you may need several business units, one for each separate legal company or operating unit. One or more business units can be maintained within a single physical database.
The most important business unit operational choices determine how the multi-currency facilities are to be used, if at all. Four different values can be entered on transactions and maintained for each account. The rules that govern the use of these values are defined for a business unit. These rules include:
  • identifying the base currency and setting the input and balancing rules for this currency.
  • identifying the pivot currency which determines how currency rates are defined and how currency conversions are performed.
  • determining the input and balancing rules for the transaction currency values.
  • determining the use of the third currency value available (it can be either a second base or reporting currency) and the input and balancing rules for this.
  • setting the input rules for the fourth, memorandum, value available on transactions.
