Understanding the Setup of Accounts and Layouts for Financial Statement Reports

Financial statement reports include standard accounting reports such as balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and income statements. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software enables you to define the accounts, cost centers, and layouts for these types of reports, and then print reports using the layouts that you established.

To set up accounts and layouts for financial report statement reports:

• Define cost center groups.

  You can define cost center groups that you can use in multiple reports or in a specific report.

• Define account groups that you associate with cost center groups.

  You can define account groups that you can use in multiple reports or in a specific report.

• Define layouts for each type of report that you need to generate.

The system writes information for report layouts to these tables:

• Report Definition (F749101)

• Section Definition (F749102)

• Section Column Definition (F749103)

• Rows Definition (F749104)

• Cells Definition (F749105)

After you define report layouts, you use the Generate Financial Reports program (R749110) to generate the reports.
