International financial accounting
Financial report builder
The procedure of using dimensions while building financial reports has been updated. Previously, all report dimensions applied to all report parameters. Now, each dimension applies to a specific parameter.
Financial reports support multiple dimensions. Some of the parameter dimensions can be subordinate to other dimensions, as defined in the dimension tree.
A dimension can contain a drill-down of a specific financial report parameter, or a grouping of data from several economic or financial parameters.
This allows to use both common dimensions (applying to all parameters) and local dimensions (applying to a specific parameter) in the same report.
For better readability, important report items can now be formatted to be visually different.
Parameters of financial reports can now be displayed both in the main currency unit and as multiples of this units (million USD, for example). Non-monetary parameters cannot be displayed as multiples of currency unit.
Precision can now be specified for the amounts, quantities, and other numerical values in the reports. Rounding precision is defined for each report element separately. For formulas and totals, rounding applies to the source data and not to the result. Precision value can be positive (this governs the number of decimal places) or negative (this governs the rounding precision).
Precision can be defined for any specific report element or any group of elements.
Now, report fields Code and Comment have multi-language presentation values.
Report dates are now displayed in accordance to the report language settings (including frequency designations, such as "weeks", "months", etc).
