Understanding Column Definition Setup
Before you can generate financial statements, you must set up the column definitions to use in your statements. You use the Column Definitions program (P09320) to specify the balance types, title, and other information about the column. The system saves the column definition record to the Column Definition Setup table (F09320). You also use the Column Definitions program to associate data selection with the column definition.
See Adding Data Selection to Column Definitions (Optional).
When you begin to design your column definitions, the system assigns a definition status of Work in Progress. This value is for informational purposes. The system does not perform any validations based on the definition status. You can continue to work on and use the definitions no matter the status unless the security administrator restricts access to the definitions based on their statuses.
In addition to the Work in Progress status, you can set the definition status to Active or Inactive.
