Segment reporting

[Former Member]

(We are using ECC 6.0, new GL)

Is there any standard report in SAP for reporting of financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) by segments? I cant find any... If there is, please give me a guidance.

Or it must be created using queries or report painter?

if u use business areas- report is the standard FSV

if u use profit centers - develop using profit centers

So, you all are saying that we need to use profit center or business area for segment reporting?

But as far as I know business areas and profit centers do not support segregation of equity and bank accounts. And we need to have official Financial Statements by segments, we have seprate bank accounts for particular segments. At least I cant find where to assign bank account to particular segment.

repost ur equities and other assets and liabilities by business area or profit center.

Hello

Reporting for Open Item Accounting

Use

The SAP standard delivery contains some drilldown reports enabling you to check the origin of payables or receivables for profit centers (or profit center groups) or segments. These drilldown reports are:

· Receivables: Profit Center

· Payables: Profit Center

· Receivables: Segment

· Payables: Segment

You can use the delivered standard reports as templates for your own reports. Generally, you can use the reports for any account assignment object contained in New General Ledger Accounting.

Prerequisites

For you to be able to use the delivered standard reports, Document Splitting must be active. In this way, postings from accounts receivable and accounts payable to the corresponding reconciliation account in General Ledger Accounting are distributed on the basis of the offsetting accounts for the G/L account.

Features

Open item accounting is only possible for normal items, that is, it is not possible for noted items and parked items because there are no line items in General Ledger Accounting for these items.

If you use hierarchies as report selections, the hierarchy you choose is only used to select the data if you have not restricted the characteristic at the same time (for example, using custom selections). You can only apply a hierarchy for data selection in the case of small hierarchies because this does not involve the data being divided internally into data blocks of a manageable size. Using hierarchies with many elements can cause the system to terminate. If selections are used to restrict the characteristic, the hierarchy is only used for display purposes.

Activities

You find the reports on open item accounting from the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Information System ® General Ledger Reports (New) ® Line Items ® Open Items.

Hi

The main purpose of COPA is for getting data by segments , Yes you need to use Report painter in COPA for doing the same.
