In Practice

An example Subline Data report is shown below. You can filter by Scenario, Entity, View, and Time. You can view this report by Month, Quarter or Scenario. The report displays sublines for the 6308 Trade Shows account.

If you open a template in the Planning Control Panel for this scenario and budget entity, the 6308 account is displayed in the template and the L is highlighted indicating there is subline data as shown below.

Click L to launch the Subline page where you can see the same data in the report.

Optionally, filter by Template and Line Name for more granular reporting. Line Name displays the lines with sublines for the selected template.

View only those sublines for a selected template. The output below is a result of filtering on Template and Line Name.

In comparison, the output below is less granular as Template and Line Name is not filtered.

Variance is available as an option in the Subline Data Standard Report. If selected, both Scenario and Time dimensions are enabled in the filters in addition to Budget Entity. Up to 2 scenarios can be selected and multiple members can be selected for the time dimension.

Columns displayed in the report are:

• Template

• Line

• Subline

• Entity

• COA Segments

• Scenario - two scenarios are selected to calculate variance (displayed same order as they are selected by the user from the hierarchy)

• Time

• Variance (for each period)

• Total Variance - variance is calculated as the difference between the 2 scenarios (scenario 1 - scenario 2) for each period applied in the report

• Capital Budget Analysis
• Budgeted Data
• Subline Data

CTA Set and CTA Detailed Report

Accounting principles mandate that when translating financial statements to a reporting currency, the closing rate for all Balance Sheet accounts is used, as well as the weighted average rate for Profit and Loss Accounts, and historical rates for Historical Accounts and Retained Earnings. After translating using these principles, if the books do not balance, then a plug account can be posted to a balancing account called Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) to balance the books.

The balance posted to the CTA account is also known as unrealized gains or losses due to currency fluctuations. The balance posted to the CTA account is an accumulation of the FX gains\losses generated by multiple accounts in the natural hierarchy.

In Planful, a plug account must be specified for posting the unrealized gains or losses during Consolidation Setup. Consolidation Setup (discussed in the Consolidation Admin Guide ) is also where you specify the rollup accounts for Total Assets, Total Liabilities and Total Equity. For converted currencies such as; common currency, interim currency and reporting currencies, the system calculates Total Assets - (Total Liabilities + Total Equity). If the results of the calculation does not equal zero (unbalanced books), the difference is posted to the CTA plug account to balance the books. Using this method, Planful doesn’t provide the account detail for the balance posted to the CTA account. You can overcome this using the functionality called CTA Sets (discussed in the Consolidation Admin Guide under the CTA topic).

1. Navigate to Maintenance > Currency > CTA Sets.
2. Click New (Add button).
3. Enter a title and description.
4. Specify a Base Rate. Typically this base rate has to be the closing rate of the period such as End of the Month rate (EOM).
5. Click Add Accounts and select the accounts that contribute to the CTA balance. Typically these are historical accounts such as Common Stock, Retained Earnings, and PPE accounts.
6. Under Target CTA Setup , specify the segment combination of the CTA account. This might be the same CTA account specified in Consolidation Setup.
7. Save the CTA Set. Create as many sets as required.
8. Navigate to Maintenance > Hierarchy . Select the Reporting dimension and click Show .
9. Create a new Reporting Currency (See documentation on how to create Reporting Currency in the Currency Admin Guide ).
10. Select a leaf level member of the Reporting Currency in Hierarchy Management. The Properties pane appears. Under Segment Properties, select Account Based for Calculation Type. Select other properties as required.
11. Select Overwrite default CTA.
12. Under CTA Sets , select the sets created earlier (steps 1 - 6) based on which accounts for FX gains\losses. Save.
13. Run the Consolidation process for the Reporting Currency.
14. Navigate to Reporting > Standard Reports and open\run the CTA Detailed Report (which must be deployed by an Admin user).
15. Select a Scenario, Period Range, Account rollup, Company, Reporting currency and the CTA set and run the report.
16. For the accounts selected in the CTA set, the report provides the difference between the local currency balances converted using the currency type specified against the account versus the currency type specified in the CTA set definition.
