Understanding the Data without Grouping Elements Row Definition Type

You can set up a data row definition without grouping elements. A data row definition without grouping elements can be used to return a total of the account balances for the accounts that you specify. Oracle recommends that you associate data selection for accounts with the row definition, but you can set up the data selection in the column definition or the version.

If you do not use grouping elements for a data row definition, then the row definition includes a title that you specify. When you use the row definition in a financial statement, the system writes a total of the account balances for the accounts that are included in the data selection for the statement. The system retrieves values for the data based on the data selection specified in the rows and columns on the statement, and on the data selection for the statement version that you run.

You can indicate in a data without grouping elements row definition that you want to reverse the sign of the account balances retrieved. See Reverse Sign
