Reporting Rules
Reporting Rules - Key Points
● Use report rules when you need flexible structures to analyze data based on groupings of
items and other dimensions.
● From one query, analyze comprehensive income, cash flow, changes in equity for example.
● Report rules use report items. Report items are statistical FS items that are calculated on
the fly.
● A report rule is made up of multiple report items.
● Each report item for example contains a range of FS item roles and possibly subitems,
document types, and cons units.
● The report items are grouped into hierarchy nodes. For example:
- In report item IC Reconciliation … hierarchy X5, report item SICR01(IC Trade) contains
fs items 121100, 21110D, 211100 and transaction types 900 to 998.
● There are five delivered reporting item hierarchies:
- X1 Statement of changes in equity.
- X2: Statement of cash flow.
- X3: Statement of comprehensive income.
- X4: P&L by Function of Expense.
- X5: IC Reconciliation.
