  3. In the Financial Element Details section of the screen, the following elements are displayed for the user selection:
    • Financial Element Member: This is the drop-down list for Financial Element Member selection.
    • Balance Sheet Type: The user can define this mapping either for Asset or Liability or simply not assign a value to apply the mapping to both.
    • Signage: The user can assign either a negative or a positive signage to the portfolio column to be used for the mapping definition.
    • Portfolio Column Name: The user can pick up the corresponding Portfolio column to be used for the mapping definition and attaching it to the previously selected Financial Element Member.
    • Filter: By clicking on the three right hand side dots, the user can select one or more values out of all the portfolio columns and apply filtering to the underlying accounts for this mapping. For example, X_SELL_FLG = 1.

    • Evaluation Expression: By clicking on the three right hand side dots, the user can select one or more portfolio columns to be used to compute a calculation, leveraging math operators as "+", "-", "*", "/" and "%", and apply the resulting formula to the underlying accounts for this mapping. For example, MARKETING_EXP + MANAGEMENT_FEES - MAIL_ORIGINATION_EXP.
