Infor LN & Baan Finance Tip: What Can You Do in the Financial Statements Module?

In the Financial Statements module, you can:

  • Define financial statements, and link a structure of child statement accounts and parent statement accounts to these financial statements.
  • Link ledger accounts and/or dimensions to the statement accounts.
  • Link cash flow reasons to cash flow statement accounts.
  • Export financial data to FST reporting tables.
  • Print reports directly, or use the BIRT report functionality to print to PDF, HTML, and export to Excel or Word.

Data drill down in financial statements - You can use various Financial Statements sessions to view transactions in a hierarchical structure. You can also zoom back to the original logistic transaction.

Currency calculation - In Financial Statements, you can define a statement currency that is not one of the home currencies.

Financial statements in multi-tenant cloud -The Financials Statements module can now be used in the multi-tenant cloud. When generating the layouts, the reports are created in the Extensibility (tx) package.
