In this step, you can maintain the financial statement items in a consolidation chart of accounts from within the FS item hierarchies. In this screen, you can create and maintain both items and item hierarchies, and also maintain master data.

Example

You create FS items in a chart of accounts for company consolidation to meet your statutory requirements.

You split the chart of accounts into the two item hierarchies "Balance Sheet" and "Income Statement".

In the "Balance Sheet" hierarchy, you create the totals items "Fixed Assets" and "Current Assets". Beneath these items, you create value items or lower-level totals items, and so on.

Requirements

You have created the chart of accounts in the step Define Consolidation Chart of Accounts.

Activities

Maintain the FS items in the consolidation chart of accounts as follows:

  1. To create an item hierarchy, place the cursor on the chart of accounts and choose "FS Items -> Create".

    In the dialog box that appears, enter the name and description of the hierarchy. You can create multiple hierarchies simultaneously.

    You can use the "Check" function to make sure that you entered a valid name, which only uses valid characters.

  2. To create an item in a hierarchy, place the cursor on the hierarchy and choose "FS Items -> Create".

    As in the previous step, enter a name and description for one or more items in the dialog box that appears.

    You can then go directly from the dialog box into master data maintenance for the first item you enter. The master data you define for the first item is automatically copied to the other items listed in the dialog box.

    You can create totals items to extend the hierarchy structure of your chart of accounts.

  3. If you create items in single maintenance, you can insert entire ranges of these items into the hierarchy. To do this, choose "FS Items -> Create Ranges".
  4. If you want to change the structure of a hierarchy after you have inserted the items, you can do this by reassigning the items as follows:
    1. Select the items that you want to reassign by choosing "Edit -> Select".
    2. Place the cursor at the position to where you want to insert the items.
    3. Choose "FS Items -> Reassign".
  5. To go to and maintain an item's master data, double-click on the item.
  6. If you change the master data for an item, the system runs consistency checks when you save the hierarchy, to see if any existing transaction data is affected. The system deals with the problems of changes to master data as follows:
    1. If you assign a different breakdown category to an item, changes to subassignments may be necessary. A conversion of the transaction data is necessary depending on the breakdown type of the subassignments. The system lists in a dialog box a statistic about the data to be converted, and if applicable, prompts you to enter values for the subassignments. After saving the entries in this dialog box, the system converts the data. If a conversion is not possible, then you have to change the breakdown category.
    2. You cannot delete an item if transaction data already exists for that item.
    3. If standardizing entries or consolidation entries have been posted to an item, you can no longer change the item's where-applied indicator from "asset item", "liability item", or "income statement item" to "statistical item", or vice versa.

      You can run these checks before you save by choosing "FS Items -> Consistency Check".

      Similar checks are made if you change breakdown categories in other customizing steps or if you delete subitems.

      Note: You can deactivate the consistency check in step Check Global System Settings.

  7. Using the hierarchy information, you can generate sets of FS items for Report Writer reports. To generate these sets, choose "Edit -> Generate Item Sets".

    If you change the hierarchy, the system automatically prompts you to re-generate sets.
