Financial reports- Calculations

Hi
In HFR .....In Row1 i have GEn2 members which expand dynamically. The number of rows are limited to 20 members by conditional suppression...
Now these 20 members values have to be divided by their total to get the %...
How can i do it dynamically
Itz like Row[1(1)]/Row[20] *100 ...Row[1(2)]/Row[20]*100...the values should be placed in nxt col.
Thanks

add a Formula Row beneath Row1. Row2 = Sum(Row1). Then in column B, row1, =[A,1]/[A,2]

Please allow more than 13 digits in the financial report calculation

Dear SAP development team,
I would like to suggest the financial report programming code or query or what else that is used to generate the financial reports (TB;P&L;BS) could allow the calculation of debit or credit more than 9223372036854. It made me laugh that it is not allowed.
Why I said so ? Here are the reasons:
1. The report data is not stored on a specific table
2. If the report has calculated debit or credit greater than 9223372036854 while report processing is taking place, the report should still be appears but the amount of debit or credit that greater than 9223372036854, please put the zero on the debit or credit.
I expect that we could still use the report either money overflow happened.

Hi, Yang
My colleagues came across that problem recently. I advised them to split the transaction and create several transaction instead thereby avoinding using more than 13 digits.
Another way that came to my mind is to create a new currency with excnage rate (say) 1:1000 . And create the transaction using this currency.
Can't say that both solutions are perfect but I am afraid these are only ones.

Financial Report Template- Calculation error

Hi All
I have developed a template for Profit and Loss Statement by using
Financial report Template
Under operating expenses heading i am having following heads
F&B consumption
Non-F&B Consumption
Gas Fuel ...
Operating Expenses value i am getting is wrong due to the following reason
F&B consumption calculates ( F&B consumption= F&B Opening Stock+ F&B
Purchase- F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find F&B Consumption that is coming under F&B
Consumption head
Non-F&B consumption calculates (Non- F&B consumption= Non-F&B Opening
Stock+ Non-F&B Purchase- Non-F&B Closing Stock)
I need to add a formula to find Non-F&B Consumption that is coming under
Non-F&B Consumption head
For calculation from the system
In the present calculation the Operating expenses is derived by adding
the closing stock value as just an other expense head instead of
subtracting the same and also by ignoring the subtotal which actually
refers to the calculation (Consumption=Opening stock+Purchase-Closing Stock)
Calculation Expecting
We need the Operating expenses to either consider the subtotals to add
for the expenditure or the closing stock value needs to be reduced from
the Expenses.
Please help to solve the issue
Regards
Rashid

This error usually means the workspace agent is not up and running or can't be connected, are you sure that workspace is definitely up and running and you can log into workspace.

Hyperion Financial reports-taking long time to open after migrating to 9

Hi,
Financial reports version 7 are migrated to system 9.
Problem that we are facing now is that reports take ling time to open.
Can anyone suggest how to improve the performance .
before migration to system 9 financial reports was working fine but now it is taking a long time to open

Are they taking a long time to open in the studio or in the workspace?
There could be lots of reasons:
Have there been server changes with the migration?
Have there been any changes in dynamically calculated dimensions?

Financial Reporting - Ability to Expand based on Custom list

hi,
Within financial reporting, Is there a way by which I can pick 3 or 4 different accounts and create a Calculated row that can expand or collapse and it is a sum total of those 4 accounts.
For Eg.
Under COGS we have Account A , B, C , D and I want to show
in the Report a column with Text title Others and Others is a sum of C and D.
When the user runs the report they see
COGS
A
B
Others
Now if the user wants to zoom, they can zoom Others and it would show C & D.
I was wondering if such a functionality existed ?

That can be done ..
In HFR member selection Cell , please do the following :
View -> Advanced Select Not operation .
then , In functions select Descendants and move to Right column and select your Particular account - >@Descendants ( "Account ")
In the next row select the Account member which you do not want in the hierarchy and from second row on the right column select Not Operation.
By this way , the new Hierarchy of Account , will not display the members you dont want to be ( Selective Member selection , it can be called)

Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
- different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
- different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
- units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
(*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
(**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
More precisely, the questions are:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Pawel

I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
What is your opinion? Best regards!

Financial Reports

Hi.
I am new to Crystal Reports and hope someone out there with experience writing P&L reports can help with this: We are planning to use Crystal Reports a our reporting engine for all of our financial reports.   I am trying to distinctly identify columns that sit side by side on the same report. We have an 18-column P&L report in which there is a column for every calendar month which is to be populated by either the "actual amount" or the forecasted amount, a total yr actual/forecast column, a total yr budget column a total last year column, plus 2 variance columns. (The first column is for the line item description.) I am unable to get just the "actuals" to work on this report:    When I try to define each column as equal to the amount associated with a specific "GL_Period", where "2007-12", "2007-11" are stored values in the GL_Period field, the previous column's select statement is overwritten with the current column's select statement, resulting in duplicate data, not comparative data. We have also thought of creating a view, but 72 columns (the actuals columns for current year and prior year are actually each made up of 2 columns, a debit amount and a credit amount) doesn't sound like the best way to go about this).
What really bothers me is I want to write this report using crosstabs, but what I run into there is crosstabs wants to sort the line descriptions alphabeticallythere is a unique line # associated with each line description, I would like to present the line descriptions on the report but sort by the line number. (I understand that you can "specify" the line number, but our "detail" 12 period P& L report has 649 lines!!Its sort of a detail P&L trial balance by account and department)
If anyone has an easy solution to either of these questions, I would love to hear it.

The reports in the financial tab are exactly what I feel I should be creating--they are done in crosstabs. However, I need something to bridge me from the tutorial crosstab report (which is not anything like a financial report) to the financial report and I didn't get enough information from chapter 17 on crosstabs to get there. Most general ledgers these days are designed along similar lines. Isn't there someone else out there who is creating financial reports in Crystal where it is fairly common to have several columns of information all related to the same row (year over year, budget actual, month to month, current month to year to date?
In the example below, the amount or "XX" fields come from the same table or are calculated. I am using a budget/actual format instead of the 16-column discussed above as the problem is the same: I am going to the same field in the general ledger table, the "period" field, and attempting to select it differently for two different columns. With the "current month" vs year-to-date, I am trying to add up all of the months selected for the year to date, but only use one month for the current month. So far I can do either, but not both? Should I set this up as 2 separate subreports that would be presented side by side (vertically)?   Still won't answer the 12 period question, though.Example:
                      Cur Mo Act   Cur Mo Bud Diff      YTD Act   YTD Bud   Diff
Revenues        XXXXX                 XXXXX    (XX)        XXXXX       XXXXX     XXX
COGS                XXX                    XXX      XX        XXXXX       XXXXX    XXXX
SGA                   XXX                   XXX        X         XXXXX      XXXXX      XXX
Net Income        XXXX                   XXX      XX         XXXXX      XXXXX        XX

Financial Reporting Chart - Waterfall or Step Chart or 2 Y-Axis chart?

Using Hyperion Financial Reports 9.3.1.2 - How do you create a waterfall or step chart using a stacked bar chart in FR chart?
I have created a waterfall or step chart as a stacked bar chart in Excel which shows the Budget figure on the left and the Actual figure on the right, and between them a series of bar columns which show the variance by component (normally departments or salaries, overheads etc.)
I can do all the calculations in a grid rady for the chart, but I have a snag in how to assign the data ranges to different Y-axes in Hyperion FR chart wizard.(I can do it in Excel, but don't know how in FR and can't find sufficient clues in the documentation, online help or Metalink3)
Does Anyone have any suggestions that I could try .... please!
Regards
Nigel

Did anyone find out how to do it?
I would like to know too.
Thx!

Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

Hello,
I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krrish
Edited by: Krrish on Dec 3, 2012 7:45 AM

Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

AppStore Financial Report Generator

I wrote the AppStore Report Generator out of need. I wanted a way to track my monthly and overall sales reports of my apps. Well apple conveniently sends out monthly financial reports but they are in CSV or comma separated value format. The only way to really manipulate and calculate data is to import each sheet into Microsoft Excel and then do calculations that way. Its very tedious every month, I wanted a way to just drop my TXT reports from apple into a directory and then run an app that would do all the calculations and *currency conversion* for me. Thus AppStore Reporter was born.

Why .NET? I know the Mac guys will be ****** I wrote this to run on Windows only but I am a full time programmer in my day job. I don't use Macs or Cocoa so I figure I would bone up my skills on a language I don't know a lot about so I decided to write this in .NET as a teaching tool for myself. Other than that, no reason I picked .NET.
The application is available FREE if anyone is interested at all. Once again sorry to all the Mac developers but this is Windows Only.

Financial Reporting Error - MaximumCalculationIterations

We currently encountered a Financial Reporting error that some default limits was exceeded. However we don't know why only this report has errors but not the others.
ERROR GridResult Unevaluated cells in report '/Finance/Report 1' within grid '\\\Grid3'. The following 2 cells were not evaluated: Row 3 Col 7 Row 5 Col 7 The maximum calculation limit of 5 was reached. Update the 'MaximumCalculationIterations' setting in 'fr_global.properties' if necessary.
By the way, any experience on how large this parameter can be set? The default is 5 and we intend to change it into 50 and see if the issue can be resolved.
Thanks a lot if you have some similar experience that can be shared.

Financial Report Template

Hi Experts,
I need to develop a report template for Financial Reports, I need to sort my accounts in a different way other than using the Chart of Accounts Template,I already tried creating a new template but I had some hick-ups, can any one please point me to any documentation/guide for developing report templates.
Waiting to Hear from You.
Kind Regards

Hi
To compile financial reports, the system needs a template that specifies the structure of the report. You must define these financial report templates in advance.
For some countries SAP Business One delivers templates that you can use to create your own financial report templates. An alternative is to copy the structure of your chart of accounts and then make any necessary changes to it. You can use the financial report templates to compile balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and trial balance reports (totals and balances of G/L accounts and business partner accounts).
Balance Sheet u2013 The system proposes the accounts in the Assets group as assets (active) accounts; the system proposes the accounts in the Liabilities group and the Capital and Reserves group as liability (passive) accounts. You can change these proposals on the highest levels of your financial report template. The system automatically displays the profit or loss for the period (Profit Period).
Profit and Loss Statement u2013 The system proposes the accounts in all the other groups (Turnover, Cost of Sales, Operating Costs, Non-Operating Income and Expenditure, Taxation and Extraordinary Items) and offers the calculation of subtotals.
Trial Balance u2013 The financial report template can contain the accounts from all groups. It displays the totals of all groups but does not offer any subtotal calculation.
You can create comparison reports that compare the figures from a specific company or fiscal year with those of a different company or fiscal year.
Choose Financials  Financial Reports  Financial and then Balance Sheet or Trial Balance or Profit and Loss Statement to generate these financial reports.
Choose Financials  Financial Report Templates to define and maintain financial report templates.
Editing a financial report template is similar, but not identical to, editing a chart of accounts.
Every financial report template has exactly five levels.
Levels one to four consist of only titles.
The G/L accounts are all located on the fifth level.
If you want the totals of the G/L accounts to be displayed on a higher level, you can make the higher titles invisible by selecting the Dummy Title indicator.
You can hide G/L accounts if you donu2019t want them to be displayed.
In a financial report template for balance sheets, you can let the system automatically transfer accounts to the other side of the balance sheet in case the account balance is negative. To do this, select the Transfer Accounts with Negative Sign indicator and specify the place where the transferred account should be.
In a financial report template for profit and loss statements, the system can insert a subtotal on every level:
Level 1 (level of account groups): Select Automatic Summary to let the system use predefined formulas for the gross profit, operating profit, profit after financing expenses, and profit period.
All levels: You can define your own formulas. Select Totals Formula and choose Formula to enter a formula based on the titles of the same level as the subtotal.

Require two different Financial Reports for the Same Financial Year - 2011

Hi Experts,
The financial Year of the client is from jan-Dec.The client needs different financial reports (P&L , B/S), one from Jan-Aug and another from Sept-Dec for the FY 2011 since the management of the company has changed from Sept-2011 onwards. So when tried to generate the financial reports from Sept-Dec , system shows the carry forward opening balances of income and expenses from Aug 2011 which they do not want. Since we have not done any closing activities at the end of aug-2011 this figure is bound to come. So in this scenario is there any possibilities to get a fresh financial reports from Sept to Dec 2011 where there should not be any opening balances of expenses and incomes for Sept 2011.
Since transferring of balances from income and expenses to retained earnings accounts has done yearly basis , how can we do this for the periods also or any other method to sort out this issue.
Hope my question is clear. if not pls revert with the queries.
Thanks in Advance,
Arabinda

Hi RP,
I have checked F.54 . Everything is ok in that report expect the Profit and Loss which are two differnt line item in that report and also calculated fields do not display in this report. But anyway this report meets most of the requirements.
Thank you very much.

Arabinda
