Documentation
Definition
Here you can set that the +/- sign of the displayed amounts is to be switched.
You can set the +/- sign change for six different format groups.
Example
The column definition of a report contains a key figure set with the following entries:
No. Key Fig/Formula Short txt of set row FGr P Sym.Name
--- ---------------------------------------- --- - --------
001 ... Act. csts 1
002 ... Plan csts 1
003 =ABS(<001>-<002>) Var. abs. 3
The row definition of the report contains a basic set for accounts with the following entries:
No. From value Short text of set row S B FGr
--- ------------------------ ----------------------- - - ---
001 410000 Acct 410000 1
002 420000 Acct 420000 2
003 430000 Acct 430000 1
The +/- sign change for format group 2 would give the following results in the report:
- No +/- sign change:
| | Act.csts |Plan csts | Var.abs. |
|-------------|----------|----------|----------|
|Acct 410000 | 1100.00 | 960.00 | 140.00 |
|Acct 420000 | 360.00- | 450.00- | 90.00 |
|Acct 430000 | 520.00 | 500.00 | 20.00 | - With +/- sign change:
| | Act.csts |Plan csts | Var.abs. |
|-------------|----------|----------|----------|
|Acct 410000 | 1100.00 | 960.00 | 140.00 |
|Acct 420000 | 360.00 | 450.00 | 90.00 |
|Acct 430000 | 520.00 | 500.00 | 20.00 |
Result: If you activate the 'Change +/- sign' indicator for format group 2 in the report layout, the +/- sign is reversed in the first two columns in the row for account 420000. The +/- sign in the third column does not change because the third column has a higher format group than the rows.
Note
The +/- sign change only changes the way in which an amount is displayed. If the amount is used in a total or in a formula, the original sign is always used.
You should take into account that the +/- sign change is not also valid for the sets at higher levels in a set hierarchy. If you want to switch the +/- sign of a total, you must assign a suitable format group to the relevant set node.
