40 Assign Levels of Detail to Business Units

This chapter contains the topic:

Section 40.1, "Assigning Levels of Detail to Business Units."

40.1 Assigning Levels of Detail to Business Units

You control how amounts are rolled up into a balance for reporting purposes by assigning a level of detail to each account.

Assigning levels of detail to business units consists of:

Setting up the level of detail hierarchy
Activating the level of detail hierarchy

40.1.1 Example: Level of Detail Hierarchy

The following example illustrates the level of detail hierarchy for business units:

Business Unit	Hierarchy
Business unit 1	Level of detail 3
Business unit 10	Level of detail 4
Business unit 110	Level of detail 4
Business unit 1999	Level of detail 4

In this example, business units 10 through 1999 (which have a level of detail 4) would roll up into business unit 1 (which has a lower level of detail, 3).
