Purpose of the page¶
This page allows you to define specific overrides for the process on the default data entry rules for gross amounts and intercompany entries.
Page sections
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Defines the custom dimensions enabled on amounts, intercompany entries and reconciliation accounts. |
| Intercompany | Defines additional fields for the intercompany declaration and specific behaviour for the intercompany declaration methods. |
| Transaction currency | Defines the management mode for the currency in which the transaction was carried out, regardless of the entity that executed it. |
| Editability | Defines the editability options for data originating from specific sources. |
| Break back | Defines, for the managed dimensions, the requirements for entering data from forms at the level of hierarchy nodes. |
| IC Cockpit Advanced rules | Defines advanced requirements for the attribution of intercompany data to the relevant steps. |
| Spreading | Defines the way in which the spreading functionality is used. |
| Countervalue calculation | Defines the FX rate used in the countervalue calculation data processing, and the data on which it is run. |
Fields in the Dimensions section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Enables the use of custom dimension 1. | |
| Enables the use of custom dimension 2. | |
| Enables the use of custom dimension |
Fields in the Intercompany section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable additional fields on IC | They both enable the collection of additional data on intercompany amounts. - Only information for document - Information for document and amount type (see Amount & Intercompany rules page) |
| Copy intercompany to gross data | Enables the automatic calculation of the gross data based on the saving of intercompany data from forms. The plausibility diagnostics will then diagnose the intercompany data and the minorities share together. |
| Allows intercompany declarations towards same Declaring entity | Allows you to enter intercompany declarations towards the same declaring entity. The declaring entity is therefore the same as the counterparty entity. |
| Defines CTP |
When entering intercompany data, the CTP custom dimension 2. is automatically defined as the default element of custom dimension 2 associated with the entity. |
Fields in the Transaction currency section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Managed on gross amount | Allows you to manage the transaction currency and the amount in the currency of the transaction on gross amounts. |
| Managed on ic amount | Allows you to manage the transaction currency and the amount in foreign currency of the transaction on intercompany amounts. |
| Keep transaction currency on consolidated gross amount | Keeps details of the transaction currency on consolidated amounts. |
| Use detail window to input gross & IC data on transaction currency | Where the transaction currency is being managed, the entry of data (gross and intercompany amounts) within the form must obligatorily be done from the relative management window and not directly from the cell. |
Fields in the Editability section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit data with ETL origin | Enables the data collected by ETL procedures to be edited manually. |
| Save data in form incrementally | Enables changes to data in forms to be tracked. When saving a form, the system creates a database row for every change made to the individual amount. If disabled, the system sums up all the values entered, and only shows the total. |
Fields in the Break back section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Allows you to select the dimensions on which to run the break back. |
| Editability check | With break back active, it allows you to select the mode in which the editability check is performed if break back is active. - Automatic: if the data is saved on a reference element, the system performs the check on the reference element itself, otherwise it does not perform any editability check. If no reference element is specified, the editability check is not performed. - On reference lowest element: the system always performs the editability check on the reference element. If no reference element is specified, the data will not be editable. |
| Always write on reference element | With break back active and enabled, for data entry from forms it automatically attributes the changes made on the node to the same node’s reference entity. When disabled, changes made on a node are distributed among the lowest level elements related to the same node in proportion to the values already present. |
Fields in the IC Cockpit Advanced rules section.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Attribute only the reconciliation account category to the cockpit step | For account/category pairs present in an intercompany matching cockpit in which the category is the one used on the IC cockpit for reconciliation accounts, this defines the step in which the cockpit currently is as the intercompany step. For the others, including those belonging to the cockpit, it also behaves as if it were not active. If not active: - for account/category pairs belonging to the intercompany matching cockpit, the intercompany step is the same as the cockpit step - for account/category pairs not belonging to any cockpit, where there are overrides the system considers the intercompany step to be the overridden step; if there are no overrides it uses the step generated by the intersection between the highest among the steps of the gross amount and the lowest step on which there is a cockpit. |
| Simplified calculation of the ic step | Defines the gross step, or any overridden step, as the intercompany step for accounts/categories not associated with the cockpit. |
| Allow the insertion of reconciliation accounts with IC data entry in progress | Allows you to insert reconciliation accounts even if one of the two entities has not yet finished inserting intercompany entries. Reconciliation accounts can therefore always be added, regardless of the status of the entities of the relationship on the IC matching cockpit. |
| Mandatory notes when inserting reconciliation accounts | Makes it mandatory to insert notes when loading reconciliation accounts. |
Fields in the Spreading section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Intercompany Spreading display method | Tells the system how to display data related to intercompany entries in the data entry step when the intercompany spreading functionality is in use. - All data: the system displays the original declarations and write-off and reallocation entries. - Original data: the system only displays the original declarations. - Only Reallocations: the system only displays data related to reallocations on the counterparty custom dimension 2. |
| Granularity: |
Defines the level of detail for the intercompany spreading functionality. |
| Reference Hierarchy |
Only with |
| Reference level for the |
Only with |
| Display override type CTP |
Enables CTP custom dimension 2 override information in data entry management windows for intercompany entries and entity journals. |
| Preferential allocation to |
Enables the management of intercompany declarations belonging to the entity/counterparty/custom dimension 1 relationships subject to balancing as a stand-alone set of declarations. |
| Balancing threshold on |
Defines the minimum threshold at which an entity/counterparty/custom dimension 1 is considered to be balanced. |
| Delete error signs | Enables algorithm for reallocating intercompany declarations on custom dimension 2 to the custom dimension 2 of the counterparty with the opposite sign. For details of the algorithm, see Delete IC error signs algorithm. |
Fields in the Countervalue calculation section
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Conversion | Defines the type of FX rate to be used in countervalue calculation data processing to convert the accounts with conversion type set to P&L FX rate. The system converts to one of the following rates: - Average FX rate - Period average FX rate - Final FX rate - Override Period average FX rate on P&L or on Variations accounts: the system converts all P&L accounts, Other Variations accounts and Variations accounts (regardless of their Nature), ignoring the account’s conversion type. Conversion takes place at the period’s average FX rate and the period length is the one indicated on the scenario being processed. For more details on FX rates, see Currencies: basic concepts. |
| Run also on Balance Sheet, Other Stock & Guard. and Comm. accounts | Includes balance sheet accounts and normal and detailed other stock accounts in the countervalue calculation data processing. |
