Documentation

Definition

The report date, on which the evaluation should take place.
You can set this parameter using the selection variable 'FIAA_REPORTING_DATE'

Enter the date as a calendar date. If necessary, the system converts the date to a fiscal year, according to the fiscal year version in use for the given company code. The system then uses this date to determine the fiscal year for which evaluation should take place. The following situations are possible:

  • The report date is in the past or in the current fiscal year:

    In this case, you can request the report for the last day of any period, providing that period is still open. If the previous fiscal year is already closed, you can only run reports for the last day of that year. For evaluations in the past, the system uses the report date to determine whether it should access the online database or an archive file.

  • The report date is in a future fiscal year:

    In this case, you can only run a report for the last day of the fiscal year concerned.

Note

You should also consider the following in regard to the report date:

  • The current fiscal year is always the year which was opened during the last fiscal year change.
  • In order to make sure values are identical at the end of the old fiscal year and at the beginning of the new fiscal year, the system resets all values (transactions, depreciation) in the fiscal year when you request a report for the first day of the fiscal year; therefore only cumulative values are displayed.
  • You can only request a report based on depreciation posted in financial accounting with the last day of the last period in which depreciation was posted (or a following period) in the relevant fiscal year as the report date.
