Assigning Accounts

Assign accounts to a row or column to print monetary or statistical account balances. You assign accounts by entering one or more account ranges.
Typically you assign accounts to rows. However, if you enter accounts for both rows and columns, FSG only reports on intersecting accounts.
Note: If you assign accounts to a row or column, you cannot define a calculation for that same row or column. You can do one or the other, but not both.
To assign accounts to a row or column:
1. From the Rows or Columns window, choose Account Assignments.
2. Select a mathematical Sign ( + or - ) to tell FSG whether to cumulatively add or subtract the balances for each account in the specified account range. To use this feature, each segment in the range must be defined with a display type of T (Total). See step 4 below.
3. Enter a range of accounts by specifying the Low and High accounts in the range.
Additional Information: To specify just one account rather than a range, enter the same account as the Low and High.
If you leave a segment blank, FSG will process all values for that segment.
4. Enter a Display type for each account segment.
Note: You must use a display type of T (Total) for each segment if you assign:
Accounts to a column.
Multiple account ranges to a row.
5. Check the Summary checkbox if you want to report only summary balances for the accounts in the specified range.
Note: The profile option, FSG:Expand Parent Value, controls the expansion of parent values when requesting summary balances.
6. Select an Activity type (Dr, Cr or Net) to specify the types of balances to use for the accounts in each account range.
For example, enter Dr or Cr if you want to define a cash flow report or a statement of changes in financial position. For these types of reports, you may need separate rows or columns for debit and credit amounts.
7. (Optional) For each account range being assigned, enter a Set of Books from which FSG will derive account balances. If you do not enter a value, FSG will use the current set of books.
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. When using different sets of books you should use Net as the Activity type.
8. Save your work.

Row Set Display Types

You can assign one of three display types to your account segments in an account assignment. You can override these display types with a content set.
E: (Expand) Expand the range and display all segment values, creating multiple rows from a single row definition. If you enter a parent segment value for your range, FSG displays all child values for that parent. Do not select summary reporting to display all the child values in your report.
Note: Use the profile option FSG:Expand Parent Value to control the expansion of parent values when requesting summary balances.
T: (Total) Total the range and display only a total balance for the segment values, limiting the number of rows that appear on your report. If you enter a parent segment value for your range, FSG totals all of the child values for that parent.
Note: If you assign accounts to a column, you must use a display type of T (Total) for each segment. You must also specify a display type of T for all segments if you assign multiple account ranges to a row. Do not enter multiple account ranges for a row containing display types other than T.
B: (Both) Expand and total the range and display all segment values and a total balance for the segment values. This option lets you display both detail rows and total rows. If you enter a parent segment value for your range, FSG totals all of the child values for that parent. Do not select summary reporting to display all the child values in your report.
