An Application to maintain the mapping relationship between G/L Accounts and Financial Statement Items
Key features: This app provides the following key features: Display Mapping Revisions Using the filter criteria, you can show FS item mapping revisions of your selection，including the following information: G/L Chart of Accounts, Consolidation Chart of Accounts, Mapping ID, and Revision: A combination of these values identify a unique FS item mapping revision. Status: Each mapping revision can have one of the following statuses: Draft: The mapping revision was uploaded using the Import FS Item Mappings app. From there, you navigated to its detail page, which is part of this app, and made some changes without saving them. System automatically saves your changed version as a draft and displays in this list. Active: The mapping revision is saved. Active (With Draft): The mapping revision was saved before. After that, you opened the saved version and made some changes without saving them. System automatically saves your changed version as a draft with the same revision ID. When opening a revision with this status, you are editing its latest draft. Saving it will generate a new active version and overwrite the previous one.  Assigned: Whether a mapping revision is assigned to an effective period and an FS item mapping version using the Assign FS Item Mappings app. Note that an assigned revision cannot be deleted. Mapped G/L Accounts and Unmapped G/L Accounts： Number of the G/L accounts that are mapped or not mapped to an FS item. Note that multiple G/L accounts can be assigned to one FS item, not the other way around.  In the list, you can sort or filter the mapping revisions using the available criteria.  By choosing the arrow icon (), you can navigate to the detail page of each mapping revision to view which G/L accounts are mapped to which FS items. The process described above is depicted in the following figure:     Change Mapping Revisions When displaying any mapping revision in the detail screen, you can add or change the mapping relationships between any G/L accounts and FS items by choosing Edit. When assigning FS items to G/L accounts in the Unmapped G/L Accounts tab page, you can check the column Posting Data Exists. It indicates whether the general ledger (G/L) account has any data posted in the specified period range. You can choose Recheck Posting Data to specify different parameters other than the default ones to check if any posting data exists, for example, for a different consolidation version or a fiscal year/period range.  Note If a G/L account already has data posted and released in the Release Universal Journals task, you can't change or delete its existing mapping with FS items in the mapping revision that has been assigned to the respective period and version.   Create Mapping Revisions You can create a new mapping revision as follows: If you want to create a new revision based on a new mapping rather than an existing one, choose Create Mapping. In the pop-up window, keep the With Revision option selected, select a G/L chart of accounts and a consolidation chart of accounts, and enter the ID and description for the new mapping and revision. If you want to create a revision for an existing mapping, choose Create Revision. In the pop-up window, select the mapping ID, G/L chart of accounts, and consolidation chart of accounts from the drop-down lists, and enter the ID and description for the new revision. If you only want to create a revision based on an existing revision that has the same mapping ID, G/L chart of accounts, and consolidation chart of accounts, select that existing revision and choose Copy, then enter the ID and description for the new revision. Note This is particularly useful when a new FS item has been created and you must change the G/L account mapping to source this new FS item.  After creating the revision, you can go to its detail screen to maintain the mapping relationships between individual FS items and G/L accounts using the procedure described above.  Export or Import Mapping Revisions You can select one or more revisions and choose Export to export them into a spreadsheet. The exported list contains the mapping details at the G/L account level, that is, which G/L accounts are mapped to which FS items in the respective mapping context. By choosing Import, you can navigate to the Import FS Item Mappings app, where you can upload a number of mapping revisions into the system all at once.  Exclude G/L Accounts If you want to exclude G/L accounts from being released into Group Reporting, for example secondary cost elements, you can map these G/L accounts to a specific FS item using the FS item ID &NORELEASE. You can exclude G/L accounts as follows:  Create an FS item named &NORELEASE. Use the Define FS Items app to create the FS item with the following attributes:  FS Item Type: Statistical Item   Is Blocked For Posting: Yes     Map the G/L accounts you want to exclude to the FS item &NORELEASE
