PART I: ROW SET

Step One: Give your Row Set a Name NAME: This name is used to identify this particular Row Set. DESCRIPTION: Description of Row Set.

Step Two: Choose „Define Rows‟ Button

LINE: This is a unique number assigned to this row. It establishes in what order your rows will appear on your report. LINE ITEM: This will show on the report as the name of the row. INDENT: This field establishes how far from the left a row NAME (LINE ITEM) will be indented. LINES TO SKIP: This field establishes how many lines to skip before and after a Row. UNDERLINE CHARACTER: This field establishes if you want a line before or after a row, and what character you want to use as your underline. PAGE BREAK: This field establishes if there is to be a page break before or after a row. ADVANCED OPTIONS (Optional) ROW NAME: This field is used to name this particular row. This name does not show on the report anywhere, but is used for „Calculation‟ purposes or can be seen from other FSG forms. PERCENT OF ROW: Enter a value for a percentage column. This value is the sequence number of the row you want to use as the percentage denominator. For example, if you want to define the report below, enter the sequence number of the total sales row (40) in the Percent of Row field for every row. Then in your column set, define a calculation column which calculates percent on the sales column, using the operator % and the column sequence 10.

Column 10

Column 20

enter the currency. Suggestion: For column sets. or variance amount type. If you want to report on amounts entered in a foreign currency rather than translated amounts. such as actual. If your specified Amount Type refers to a period. FACTOR: The factor (Billions. The currency you enter when you define or request a report serves as the default currency for columns without a currency in the column set definition. average-to-date. BALANCE CONTROL AMOUNT TYPE: Defines the types of values to include in a row or column. budget. The row set factor overrides the column level factor. Note: You must specify offsets at the same level (row or column) at which you specified amount types and control value numbers DISPLAY OPTIONS FORMAT MASK: Enter a format mask for displaying row values. or Percentiles) determines how to display numeric values. CURRENCY: To report translated account balances for a specific currency. and Currencies in an FSG Report OFFSET: Enter the relative Offset if you want to report on a period or effective date before or after your runtime period or effective date. *If you enter a budget. and you want to use the Row „Account Assignments‟ and not the Column „Account Assignments‟. General Ledger provides numerous amount types. Encumbrances. or calculated amounts. you should enter a Control Value to assign budgets and encumbrance types to the report definition. However. Then when you define your report. end-of-day. encumbrance types. This check box is also used in conjunction with the „Change Sign on Variance‟ Checkbox. then the Offset will be in number of days. or encumbrance. you must also assign an offset. if you assign a different currency to each of your columns. for single or multiple periods. put the currency code in each column heading so you can correctly identify the currencies on your report CONTROL VALUE: Used to include budgets. enter 0 (zero) to display amounts for the runtime effective date or enter -1 to display amounts one day or one period before the runtime effective date. Thousands. Notes: *If you assign an amount type to a row or column. The amount type is typically assigned to column definitions. assign the currency and a currency type of Entered to that control value number. Units. then the Offset will be in number of periods.Sales Row 10 Row 20 Row 30 Row 40 (Total) 100 400 500 1000 % of Total Sales 10 40 50 100 OVERRIDE COLUMN CALCULATIONS: Check this box for the instance in which the column that is connected to has Account Assignments attached to it also. such as PTD-Actual. . if your specified Amount Type refers to days. enter a control value number. SEE: Including Budgets. Millions. such as variances. and currencies in a report. FSG determines the amounts to display based on the offset and the period or effective date you enter at runtime. For example. encumbrance. such as PATD. if you want to override the column level format mask.

FSG still prints your column heading description and does not reposition other columns or their headings on your report. that column will not be visible in the Column Set Builder. This option is typically defined for rows. FSG prints only those rows and columns whose level of detail matches that specified for the report. Use in conjunction with „Override Column Calculations‟ if your variance sign is not appearing the way it should. CHANGE SIGN ON VARIANCE: Use to change the sign on balances with a variance amount type for display purposes only. Controller: Includes only rows and columns defined for the Controller level of detail.LEVEL OF DETAIL: You assign level of detail for individual rows and columns. and Equity. Supervisor: Includes only rows and columns defined for Supervisor or Controller level of detail. as well as for a report. General Ledger stores credits as negative amounts and debits as positive amounts. Rows that need the sign changed are Liabilities. Note that variance is calculated as budget minus actual. For rows that are defined but not displayed. DISPLAY ROW or Display Column: If a column is defined but not displayed. There are three options that control the level of detail FSG prints on your report: Financial Analyst: Includes all levels of detail. Therefore. DISPLAY ZERO: Use to print the row or column when it has a zero balance. When you run the report. the row or column is suppressed on reports when it has a zero balance. the system will assume the level of detail is Controller. change the sign for rows or columns with credit balances to print the credit balances as positive numbers. Step Three: Account Assignments . However. CHANGE SIGN: Use to change the sign on balances for display purposes only. If you do not choose this option. Note: If you do not enter a level of detail for a row or column. FSG hides the rows and repositions all other rows. Revenue. This option typically applies to rows.

Cr or Net) to specify the types of balances to use for the accounts in each account range. IMPORTANT: If you are entering a NON-parent account (regular child account) or NON-Rollup Group. and those Children Accounts (Parent Accounts) have Child Accounts. you may need separate rows or columns for debit and credit amounts. that has Children Accounts (Parent Accounts) of 91001 thru 91011. or 2) Multiple account ranges to a row and you want to total them. You can enter a different set of books for each account assignment if the sets of books share the same chart of accounts and calendar as your current set of books. DO NOT check the Summary Box. For any segment in which all values will be used for report. For example. Example: If you have a Grandparent Account of 91000. SET OF BOOKS: (Optional) For each account range being assigned. you will only get $0 balances. SUMMARY: Check the Summary checkbox if you want to report only summary balances for the accounts in the specified range. & Children and you will get the same end result because it will only add each child‟s account once. P. FSG will use the current set of books. If you do not enter a value. DISPLAY: You must use a display type of T (Total) for each segment if you assign 1) Accounts to a column. you must set up Rollup Groups and Summary Accounts. Step Four: Calculations . you can either enter only the Grandparent Value or you can enter the GP. enter a Set of Books from which FSG will derive account balances.SIGN: + or -. For this option. ACCOUNTS: Enter your account range to be included on this row. For these types of reports. enter Dr or Cr if you want to define a cash flow report or a statement of changes in financial position. When using different sets of books you should use Net as the Activity type. If you do. ACTIVITY: Select an Activity type (Dr . Used for adding or subtracting one account from another. leave the low and high fields empty.

SEQ: This controls the order FSG follows when performing the mathematical operations required to complete the calculation. if you use the + operator on a range of four rows. as part of an earnings-pershare calculation. PART II: COLUMN SET Step One: Name your Column Set . When you define the calculation for the variance column you can instruct FSG to subtract the column named Actual from the column named Budget. and variance amounts. The Operator is applied to each row or column in the range. For example. ROW NAME: Instead of a constant or a sequence range. assume you have a report with three columns. CONSTANT: Enter a number to use as a Constant value. will be displayed in the third column of your report. For example. Note: If you use row or column names in your calculations. SEQUENCE: Instead of a constant. The first two columns are named Actual and Budget. you can enter the Low and High sequence numbers corresponding to the range of rows or columns to use in your calculation. budget. For example. OPERATOR: This is the calculation that you are wanting to perform. you might enter the number of outstanding common shares as the constant by which you divide net income. FSG will add all values encompassed by the four rows. you can enter the name of a specific row or column to use in a calculation. The result. representing actual. make sure the names are unique within the row set or column set to which they belong. the variance from budget.

Department is one of your account segments. 3) Specifies. 4) Optional) Define a column to total all the departments. To produce the breakdown report. for each column definition. let's say that you've defined a report which produces a corporate income statement. 05 = Corporate). OVERRIDE SEGMENT: You use the override segments feature to produce "breakdown" reports. the department segment value as its override value. For example. Step Two: Choose „Define Columns‟ Button . and can have one of five values (01 = Sales. 03 = Finance. Now you want to create a breakdown version of the same report which shows income statement line items for each department. 04 = Administration. you need to define a new column set with the following properties: 1) Uses the Department segment as an "override segment." 2) Includes one column definition for each department. For example. The original report definition uses a row set named Income Statement and a column set named Corporate YTD-Actual. one report column per department. the first column would be defined with an override value of 01. for the Sales department.NAME: This name is only used to identify this particular Column Set. DESCRIPTION: Description of this Column Set. 02 = Manufacturing.

Additional Information: Row line labels appear to the left of the first column in your report. you control the width of the row line items when you set the position of the first column in your column set. .58 on your report. Millions. the number . Instead. or Percentiles) that determines how to display numeric values.99.POSITION: Enter the starting Position for each column. Note: Columns with positions that exceed the total report width will not appear on the report.1258 will appear as 12.999. You can use the sequence number to define column calculations. put the factor name in the related column headings so you can easily identify the factors on your report. Thus. See: Format Masks. column order is determined by the column starting Positions. This is the number of characters from the left edge of the page that marks where each column starts. For example. Suggestion: If you assign a factor besides Units to each of your columns. Units. if you use the factor Thousands with the format mask 99. Thousands. FORMAT MASK: Enter a Format Mask to control the display of values which FSG prints in the column.999.910 will appear as 23. Note: The sequence number does not control the order of the columns on a report like it does for rows in a row set. If you use the factor Percentiles with the format mask 99. the number 23.91 on your report. SEQUENCE: Enter a unique Sequence number for each column. FACTOR: Enter a Factor (Billions. To display amounts using no factor.99. choose Units.

the system will assume the level of detail is Financial Analyst. YTD. OVERRIDE VALUE: If you assigned an override segment to your column set. that column will not be visible in the Column Set Builder. General Ledger provides numerous amount types. you enter the segment value here. CONTROL VALUE: Used to include budgets. If an Amount Type of Variance is selected. ADVANCED OPTIONS (Optional) COLUMN NAME: Use this name to reference this column when defining calculations or using other forms. OFFSET: Enter the relative Offset if you want to report on a period or effective date before or after your runtime period or effective date. budget. QTD). and currencies in a report.BALANCE CONTROL Note: If you want to create a report which reverses the commonly assumed attributes for row sets and column sets. average-to-date. CURRENCY: To report translated account balances for a specific currency. enter a segment value to select the specific department you want displayed in this column of your report. AMOUNT TYPE: Defines the types of values to include in a row or column. for single or multiple periods. DISPLAY OPTIONS LEVEL OF DETAIL: You assign level of detail for individual rows and columns. in order for . FSG hides the rows and repositions all other rows. the system will assume the level of detail is Controller. Note: If you do not enter a level of detail for a row or column. (If you do not enter a level of detail for a report. The currency you enter when you define or request a report serves as the default currency for columns without a currency in the column set definition. OVERRIDE ROW CALCULATIONS: Select this option if you want your column calculation to take precedence over any conflicting row calculations. This name does not appear on any reports. end-of-day. making it easier to remember what the column represents. For example. enter the currency. 2) Supervisor. leave the Balance Control options blank on this window and set them on the Rows window instead.) DISPLAY COLUMN: If a column is defined but not displayed. you must enter a Control Value so the FSG Program knows which Budget to use. or calculated amounts. your report will pull values from „ONE‟ period ago only. FSG still prints your column heading description and does not reposition other columns or their headings on your report. such as variances. When printing your FSG from ADI. as well as for a report. regardless of the Amount Type you choose (ie: PTD. DESCRIPTION: Column descriptions appear in other FSG windows. FSG prints only those rows and columns whose level of detail matches that specified for the report. 3) Controller. The amount type is typically assigned to column definitions. or encumbrance. For rows that are defined but not displayed. if you entered Department as your override segment. encumbrance types. SEE ROW SET FOR ADDITIONS INFORMATION. When you run the report. There are three options that control the level of detail FSG prints on your report: 1) Financial Analyst. such as actual. PERCENT OF COLUMN: The sequence number of the column you want to use as the denominator for a percentage column. (See Percent of Column in PART I). If you assign an Offset Value of –1. However.

For example. For example. DISPLAY ZERO: Use to print the row or column when it has a zero balance. you must Display Zero. but not necessarily all. Step Three: Exceptions (Optional) Define exceptions for your column if you want to highlight information in your report that requires immediate attention. CHANGE SIGN ON VARIANCE: Use to change the sign on balances with a variance amount type for display purposes only. in order for your Column to appear in the Excel Spreadsheet as a stand alone column (and not be concatenated into another column). To set up exceptions that flag rows that meet at least one. CHANGE SIGN: Use to change the sign on balances for display purposes only. This option is typically defined for rows. you can choose to display only the exceptions. Then assign each of the columns an exception flag and a condition. . Therefore. if you display column 5. the row or column is suppressed on reports when it has a zero balance. This option typically applies to rows. When you request your report.000 or more. if you want to flag amounts that meet one or more of five conditions. For example. you need to define as many columns as you want conditions but display only one of the columns. you can define an exception to "flag" the rows in your report where actual expenditures exceed your budget by $1. you must define five columns. then for columns 6 to 9.your Column to appear in the Excel Spreadsheet as a stand alone column (and not be concatenated into another column). you must Display Column. Note that variance is calculated as budget minus actual. General Ledger stores credits as negative amounts and debits as positive amounts. Define the non-display columns with calculations that add the display column to itself. change the sign for rows or columns with credit balances to print the credit balances as positive numbers. When printing your FSG from ADI. define a calculation with an operator of + and a column sequence low and high of 5. of the conditions you specify. If you do not choose this option.

>= or < >) and enter the Constant to define your exception. If you enter multiple conditions for your exception in this region.FLAG: Enter a single character to use to Flag exceptions in your report. You can enter as many conditions for your exception as you want. Use the following table to determine which report object takes precedence.

you can print a travel expense report for each department. it is going to show on your report. By using a content set with your existing report definition. Sort detail rows by account segment values or segment value descriptions. The content set controls how the numerous reports differ from each other. OPTIONAL COMPONENTS CONTENT SET: By assigning a content set to a report request. . TITLE: This name appears at the top of the report. REQUIRED COMPONENTS ROW SET: This is the Row Set that you have defined for this report. if you do not choose a particular segment and give is a „Width‟ of „0‟. o When creating Row Order. The subtle report variations discussed in the previous paragraph are achieved by the content set altering the row set account assignments and/or display options. For example. Sort detail rows by amounts displayed in a column. or can be added dynamically at the time you request an FSG report. assume your organization has 50 departments and that Department is one of your account segments. Also assume that you already have an FSG report for travel expenses. you must show it on your „Order‟ with a Width of 0. You can then distribute the reports to the 50 department managers for review purposes. For example. Note: A content set can be saved as part of a report definition. ROW ORDER: You can use a row order to control how detail rows appear in your report.NAME: This name is used to identify this report. You can: o o o o Display account descriptions in addition to or instead of segment values. For it not to show. DESCRIPTION: Description of this report. you can generate hundreds of similar reports in a single run. COLUMN SET: This is the Column Set that you have defined for this report. you may want to see product segment values displayed before cost center values. Suppress header descriptions for particular account segments. which you run weekly. Rearrange the sequence of your account segments to fit specific reporting needs. in one report request. Content sets are similar to row sets and actually work their magic by overriding the row set definition of an existing report.

you simply tell FSG which rows or columns should or should not be displayed. If you modify the report definition to add a segment override for company 02. For example. or Round then Calculate. then FSG will print an assets report for company 02 only. To do this. you must manually parse the report columns. LEVEL OF DETAIL: Select a Level of Detail for the report. OUTPUT OPTION: Enter an Output Option for your report: Text: Produces a report in standard text form (no tab-delimited columns). FSG will only print those rows and columns with matching levels of detail. FSG produces a report for the specific value you specify. which correspond to the levels of detail you can assign to rows and columns. Spreadsheet: Produces a report designed specifically for downloading to ADI. There are three options. and add the request into the request center.DISPLAY SET: With display sets and groups you can produce report variations which omit sensitive information or which include information normally not included in a report. assume you have a report definition which produces a combined assets report for four companies. CURRENCY: Enter a default Currency for the report. If you download the report to a spreadsheet. making it easier to import the report into a spreadsheet. If you specify a level of detail for your report. Tab-Delimited: Produces a report whose columns are delimited by tabs. ***Tab-Delimited – used to import into Notepad*** ***Spreadsheet – If this option is chosen. ROUNDING OPTION: Calculate then Round. the system will assume the level of detail is Financial Analyst. it will then open Excel and place the output into a spreadsheet*** FSG Step One: Responsibility: GL Super User Reports -> Define -> Row Set . The default is Text. Note: If you do not enter a level of detail for a report. FSG uses this currency only for those rows and columns to which you did not assign a currency when you defined row and column sets. When you enter a segment override value. then open ADI. SEGMENT OVERRIDE: Enter Segment Override values for the account segments you want to override.

save. this is where you would put the name. This row name and number won‟t show up on the actual report. so just fill in Line and Line Item.Step Two: Click on Define Rows after entering Name and Description. Under the Advanced Options. if you want to name the row for use in calculations rather than Line 100. it is only for uniquely identifying each row for „Calculations‟ purposes and for other FSG reports. . This would be the header line. then arrow down to the next line.

Enter as you see below with the correct account numbers. fill in Line and Line Item and # of spaces to indent. Tab to Low and another window will pop up.Step Three: For the first non-header line. also make sure that „Display Zero‟ is checked. Step Four: Then click on „Account Assignments‟ Button. .

You can enter a different set of books for each account assignment if the sets of books share the same chart of accounts and calendar as your current set of books. *Multiple account ranges to a row and you want to total them. you may need separate rows or columns for debit and credit amounts. DISPLAY: You must use a display type of T (Total) for each segment if you assign: *Accounts to a column. SUMMARY: Check the Summary checkbox if you want to report only summary balances for the accounts in the specified range. controls the expansion of parent values when requesting summary balances. If you do not enter a value. This means: pull all information!!! Click on OK. For these types of reports. For example: enter Dr or Cr if you want to define a cash flow report or a statement of changes in financial position. ACTIVITY: Select an Activity type (DR. SET OF BOOKS: (Optional) For each account range being assigned. CR or Net) to specify the types of balances to use for the accounts in each account range. FSG will use the current set of books. enter a Set of Books from which FSG will derive account balances. When using different sets .This will be the range of the cash and cash equivalents. FSG: Expand Parent Value. COOL INFO: Any segment in which ALL information will be pulled for a report can be left blank. NOTE: The profile option.

and you want to have an “Underline Character” „Before‟. Step Six: Enter the „Calculations‟ as you see below. .of books you should use Net as the Activity type. On a sub-total line. The Low and High Sequence on a total‟s line is actually the line numbers it is adding rather than the account numbers. you want to skip a line „Before‟ and „After‟. Step Five: When you come to a subtotal account. This is an all-inclusive Balance Sheet so don‟t put in a set of books. you will click on the „Calculations‟ Button.

and have a single “Underline Character” „Before‟ and a double “Underline Character” „After‟. The first two columns are named Actual and Budget. skip 1 line „Before‟. you can enter the Low and High sequence numbers corresponding to the range of rows or columns to use in your calculation. as part of an earnings-pershare calculation. Or. SEQUENCE: Instead of a constant. For example. but not both. Step Seven: When you come to an actual „TOTAL‟ line (not sub-total). add (rather than subtract) your cost of sales row to your sales row. For Example. you can indent (or not – whatever the client wants). ROW NAME OR COLUMN NAME: Instead of a constant or sequence range. Note: You can assign either accounts or calculations to a row or column set. and variance amounts.You can define formulas to calculate row or column amounts. budget. When you define the calculation for the variance column you can instruct FSG to subtract the column named Actual from the column named Budget. you can define a column calculation which calculates the difference between two previous columns Note: General Ledger stores credit balances as negative numbers and debit balances as positive numbers. so you should define your calculations accordingly. make sure the names are unique within the row set or column set to which they belong. For example. if you want to calculate a gross margin row. representing actual. you might enter the number of outstanding common shares as the constant by which you divide net income. assume you have a report with three columns. The result. FSG will add all values encompassed by the four rows. the variance from budget. SEQ: This controls the order FSG follows when performing the mathematical operations required to complete the calculation. For example. if you use the + operator on a range of four rows. will be displayed in the third column of your report. Then click on the „Calculations‟ Button (Not “Account Assignments”). For example. Note: If you use row or column names in your calculations. 2 lines „After‟. you can define a row calculation which sums all the rows above it in the report. The Operator is applied to each row or column in the range. CONSTANT: Enter a number to use as a Constant value. . you can enter the name of a specific row or column to use in a calculation.

THIS FIELD IS FOR ADDING AN AMOUNT. The first way is to add the individual line numbers excluding the sub-total lines (which is a harder way of doing it) or do it like the second example below with two sequence numbers with the low and high being the same on each sequence line (these are the sub-total line numbers). there are two ways you can do it.Step Eight: IMPORTANT: When adding the „Sequence‟ numbers (Low and High). NOT A LINE (OR ROW). DO NOT USE THE „CONSTANT‟ FIELD. .

the „Change Sign‟ checkbox doesn‟t need to be checked. but on the second example. then the amounts will show on the Balance Sheet as negatives.The Operator on the 1st example above should be “+”. but for Liabilities. and equity. since the low and high value is the same. the Operator can be “Enter”. Revenue. this box needs to be checked. . if it doesn‟t get checked. For Assets and Expenses.

When finished with Liabilities and Equity. Step Nine: Click on „Define Column Set‟. . go back to „Row Set‟ Window. DEFINING COLUMN SETS The Description is “Whatever”.

this number will need to be higher. You can use the sequence number to define column calculations. (Have a separate column). Step Ten: Click on Define Columns. etc…. 1.) The Sequence is the unique number. Trial and Error. 2. If you have lengthy Account Names.) The Position is the number of character spaces where the first column starts from the left of the page.Override Segments (OPTIONAL) The Override Segment is used if you want to have report separately for each Department or Business Unit. .

Step Fourteen: Click on Define Report .You can now see the column heading in the column builder window.

then FSG will print an assets report for company 02 only. the Segment Override definition becomes invalid and you must redefine your report. If you modify the report definition to add a segment override for company 02. Save. Spreadsheet is used for reports that will be exported to ADI. For example. The Row set is going to be strictly used for what it was set up for. assume you have a report definition. The Output Option is important. When you enter a segment override value. ‘Required Components’ is where you choose which Row and Column sets to use. FSG produces a report for the specific value you specify. The Column Set can be used for several different reports if the parameters are comparable to what you want to use. (Optional) Enter Segment Override values for the account segments you want to override. Income Statement (Financial Summary) Revenues – (CR) – Change Sign .
