Creating a New Application

During creation of the new application, you define the start and end year for the application, select the default application currency, and then select the features that you want to enable.

As part of the creation of the application, the following mandatory features are automatically applied:

• Track Multi-Source Data Input --Supplemental Data and Managed Data
• Intercompany --Intercompany Data and Track Intercompany Elimination
• Reporting Standard --Multi-GAAP Reporting

You have the option of enabling the following additional features:

• Select IFRS to calculate Deferred Tax Not recognized (DTNR), and report on the Consolidated Effective Tax Rate (CETR) in an IFRS format.
• CbCR (CBC Data Entry Tables, Summary Table and Filing report) to calculate analyses to assess risk as a result of transfer pricing strategies.
• Interim Provision to enable interim provision to calculate monthly or quarterly tax provision using an annualized estimated effective tax rate (AEETR), plus discrete tax amounts.
• Weighted Average to enable the weighted average to calculate the average foreign currency translation for the net income before tax for each Base or Parent entity.
• Ownership Management enables the assignment of ownership percentages and consolidation methods to each Entity parent/child combination for each Scenario, Year, and Period combination.

Note:

If you do not select an optional feature when creating the application, and you change your mind, you can enable the feature after creating the application. Once enabled, you cannot disable the feature. Note that Dynamic Calc Jurisdiction can only be enabled on the Enable Features screen. See Enabling Application Features.
