Purpose of the page¶
This page allows you to create headers for financial statement templates.
Attributes tab sections
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Code and description | Allows you to assign a code and a description to the financial statement template. |
| Dimensionality | Allows you to associate accounts, custom dimensions and control types to the financial statement template, and to manage their relationships with items. |
| Advanced | Allows you to define options that regulate the use of the financial statement template: - use of the financial statement template in reporting - they system’s behaviour in the event of a sign change on an FST item - types of formula supported in the financial statement template |
| Valid accounts | Allows you to define the types of accounts that can be related to the financial statement template. |
Dimensionality details
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Account | Enables FST items to be calculated as the sum of the accounts related to them. Financial statement templates created with this option are saved in the Standard financial statement templates folder. |
| Custom Dimensions | Allows you to select a custom dimension in order to calculate FST items as the sum of the elements of the selected custom dimension. With Account selected: FST items are calculated as the sum of the account/custom dimension element combinations. With Account not selected: FST items are calculated as the sum of the accounts that are valid on the custom dimension. Financial statement templates created with this option are saved in the Advanced financial statement templates folder. |
| Control type | Enables FST item accounts to be related based on the control type existing between the reference entity (the parent company for consolidated data, the entity for statutory data) and the counterparty entity. For example, the FI account can be related to the FI FST items in subsidiaries, associates or other mode, based on the type of relationship existing between the entity pairs. The Control type differentiates the relationships between an account and the FST items. An account declared to an owned entity can thus be linked to different FST items depending on the defined control type, and on the scenario/period. Financial statement templates created with this option are saved in the Advanced financial statement templates folder. |
| Multiple relationships | By default, every account or account/custom dimension pair can be related to one FST item only. If enabled, it is possible to relate a single account or account/custom dimension pair to several FST items. Note: for this option to be valid on the financial statement template, dependence on the account dimension must be activated in dimensionality. Alternatively, if dependence is only active for the custom dimension, an account must be included in the custom dimension definition. |
Advanced details
| Element | Description |

| Exclude from reporting | Excludes the financial statement template from being used in reporting and data entry forms. |
| Override Sign for class on the Account by FST item | Enables, on all accounts, the use of the sign class set on the item itself regardless of the class defined on the account. |
| Formula type | Defines the formula type to be used in the financial statement template for formula-type FST items. - Standard Formula: allows you to define standard formulas only (default value). - MD formula: allows you to define multidimensional formulas only. Once set, this can only be changed if the financial statement template contains no formula-type items. For more details, see Formulas in financial statement templates. |
