A.3.1 About Column Amount Codes
Some column amount codes are relative to the current reporting period. Four basic types are available:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| AB | Account Balance, through Current Period |
| IC | Inception-to-Date, through Current Period |
| PA | Period Activity, Current |
| YC | Year-to-Date Activity through Current Period |
These basic types can be combined with a plus, minus, or equal to designation:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| +nn | Current period plus nn periods |
| -nn | Current minus nn periods |
| 0nn | Period nn |
For example, if the current reporting period is March:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| PA | March period activity |
| PA+01 | April period activity |
| PA-01 | February period activity |
| PA001 | January period activity |
Some column amount codes are relative to only the current fiscal year:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| IY | Inception-to-Date |
| YY | Year-to-Date through year end |
| Q1 - Q4 | 1st quarter through 4th quarter |
For example, for a calendar year:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| Q1 | January plus February plus March period activities |
| YY | Year-to-date through December 31 |
| IY | Inception-to-date through December 31 |
Four prior year codes are available:
| Column Amount | Description |
|---|---|
| PB | Prior year-end balance forward. This is the prior year version of IY. |
| PC | Prior year's current period. This is the prior year version of PA. |
| PR | Prior year's year-to-date to current period. This is the prior year version of YC. |
| PY | Prior year-end balance. This is the prior year version of YY. |
More than one column amount code might retrieve the same information, depending on the type of account and fiscal year selections.
For example, AB (account balance as of current period) is the same as:
-
IC (inception-to-date through current period) for balance sheet accounts
-
YC (year-to-date through current period) for income statement accounts
PC (prior year's current period) with fiscal year of blank (current fiscal year) is the same as PA (current period) with fiscal year of -1 (current fiscal year minus one).
