Group Data Analysis with Reporting Rules
Application component: Embedded Analytics for S/4Hana Finance for Group Reporting
App type: Web Dynpro
Line of business: Finance
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Corporate Close (S/4 CLD)
Description:  Use this app to display different views of consolidated data: Group View based on the group structure that includes consolidation groups and units and Hierarchy View based on hierarchies of profit centers, segments, and consolidation units. By selecting different reporting item hierarchies within the app, you can generate rule-based consolidation reports, such as cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity. Note This app has implemented the new reporting logic and is ready for use with the SAP S/4HANA 1909 release and later releases. If you are working with a release earlier than 1909 and haven't activated the new reporting logic, you should use the following apps instead:  Consolidated Balance Sheets   Consolidated P&L Statements by Nature of Expense   Data Analysis - Reporting Logic  To activate the new reporting logic when working with a release earlier than 1909, please create an incident with the FIN-CS-COR component. For more information, see New Reporting Logic and Old Reporting Logic. Note Before you use this app, make sure that you’ve selected values for the parameters in the app Set Global Parameters. Once these values are saved in the global parameters, they are then derived for the corresponding variables in this app. 
An Application to Analyze Group Data Analyze with Reporting Rules
Key features: This app provides essentially the same features as Group Data Analysis except that it supports the following rule-based reports only: Statement of changes in equity (with the predefined reporting item hierarchy X1) Cash flow statement (X2) Statement of comprehensive income (X3) Consolidated P&L statement by function of expense (X4) Interunit reconciliation (X5) For more information about how to define reporting items, reporting rules, and reporting item hierarchies, see Define Reporting Rules and Define Hierarchies.The following sections focus on the differences with Group Data Analysis. Filters You can adapt the prefilled filters or add additional ones. In addition to the criteria described in the Filters part of the Group Data Analysis help topic, the following criteria are required: Reporting Item Hierarchy: Choose a reporting item hierarchy that determines the included FS items and the report row/column structure. Once you choose a hierarchy in the filters, the report is restricted to the respective data sets. Within the report display, do not try to change the hierarchy by choosing a different one from the context menu, because that won't produce meaningful results. Only change the reporting item hierarchy by adapting the filers.  Reporting Rule Variant: The default rule variant is based on your rule-to-version/period assignment using the Assign Reporting Rules to Versions app. Multiple rule variants may exist for a reporting item hierarchy. You can choose a different one for simulation purposes.   Selecting Reporting Dimensions To select reporting dimensions, follow the procedure described here: Selecting Reporting Dimensions. Since this app uses reporting rules, you may want to view results by Reporting Item instead of FS Item. To do this, select FS Item in the report table and then Drilldown. From the Drilldown menu, you can then select Exchange with and choose Reporting Item.  Changing Reporting Item Hierarchy All reporting items that have non-zero values for the selected measures are displayed in the structure in the same way as your specified reporting item hierarchy. In this way, you can generate the desired rule-based report or even export it to a spreadsheet by choosing the Export to MS Excel icon (). For example, specify the reporting item hierarchy X2 to generate cash flow statement for your specified organizational units and fiscal period.   Drill-Through to Group Journals From any displayed figures for TC Amount, LC Amount, GC Amount, and Quantity measures, you can choose Jump To to drill through to the Display Group Journal Entries - With Reporting Logic app to view the posting details at line item level.Note The fields that you use to aggregate data are not displayed in the accounting documents when you jump to the Display Group Journal Entries app.Note Drill-through from any measures within same rows of reporting items is currently not supported due to the fact reporting items cannot be parsed in the destination app. It only works if you select all filter criteria of the relevant reporting items and put them in Columns or Rows for the report layout. Example The reporting item SCF100 is defined using the filter criteria FS Item, Subitem, and Subitem Category in the Define Reporting Rules app. To get the correct drill-through result, you need to drag these criteria from Dimensions to Columns or Rows in the report.
