You need to define logical file names for importing individual financial statement data from PC or UNIX systems into the Consolidation system.

Logical file names are used to determine the physical file path in which data is stored. You assign a logical file name to a logical file path. Depending on the individual operating system, a physical file path can be assigned to this logical file path.

In this step you make the following assignments:

  1. Cross-client definition of file names and logical file paths

    You need to complete the following steps:

    • Define logical file paths
      • The definition of logical file paths is always cross-client.
    • Assign physical file paths to logical file paths
      • You make assignments using syntax groups, to which individual operating systems are assigned. These syntax groups must already have been defined.
    • Define logical file names independently of the client
      • When defining a logical file name, you should enter the name of the logical file, a short description, the data format of the file and the logical path defined as above. You may also want to specify the application area. This would allow a more precise determination of the use of the file name, but is not an extra function in itself.
      If a separate file exists for each company whose data is to be uploaded, you will need to define a logical file name for each company.

      For further information, see the documentation for the step Cross-client maintenance of filenames and paths in the Basis Implementation Guide.

  2. Client-specific definition of logical file names

    Before you maintain a file name for a specific client, you first must have completed the steps listed in point 1. The file name must be created for all clients before client-specific maintenance can take place.

    As part of client-specific maintenance you have to generate a new entry for the logical file names which you have already defined for all clients. You also need to add the physical file name at this point, if you have not done so already.

    See also the documentation concerning step Additional client-specific filename maintenance in the Basis Implementation Guide.

Requirements

The operating systems involved have been assigned to syntax groups.

Activities

First perform the activities described in "Cross-client definition of file names and logical file paths" and then those described in "Client-specific definition of logical file names".

Further notes

You can use an analysis to find out more about definitions already created in the system. To do this, run the step Run analyses in the Basis Implementation Guide.

For further information, see the "Consolidation" manual, chapter "Individual Financial Statements", section "Transferring Data from Other Sytems". Here the procedure for uploading a file is described with the aid of an example.
