Accumulation levels

The Accumulation levels table determines the number of elements to be crossed and their crossing order.

The analytical balance inquiry authorizes the management of a maximum of nine accumulation levels.

From six pyramids onwards, the accumulation levels are possible up to nine levels, within the limit of the three following cases:

  • 7 pyramids: the number of accumulation levels is limited to 7.
  • 6 pyramids: the number of accumulation levels is limited to 8 (i.e. 6 pyramids and 2 lines).
  • 5 pyramids: the number of accumulation levels is limited to 9 (i.e. 5 pyramids and 4 lines),

Let us consider the following entry:

ANA chart       

PRO type        

 CCT type    

 Amount

Account 701000

 PRODUCT1              

 COST1

 1.111:

Account 701000

 PRODUCT2

 

 2.222:

Account 701000

 

 COST2

 3.333:

CCT and PRO types are not mandatory.
When inquiring the analytical balance, the results are the following:

  • On ANA chart + PRO and CCT types
    Result: 701000   /   PRODUCT1   /   COST1        1.111
    => This is true when you enter dimensions AND dimension types in the criteria. Otherwise, the three entries are available.
    SEEINFO If sections are not entered in the start/end range among the dimension type criteria, the result only includes entries of the entered dimension type.
  • On ANA chart + PRO type
    Result: 701000   /   PRODUCT1                          1.111   
    Result: 701000   /   PRODUCT2                          2.222
    => This is true if the box All types entered is checked. Otherwise, the three entries are available.
  • On ANA chart + CCT type
    Result: 701000   /   COST1                               1.111   
    Result: 701000   /   COST2                               3.333
    => This is true if the box All types entered is checked. Otherwise, the three entries are available.

Additional information

Display of analytical quantities

For any account/type(s) combination, the Analytical quantity column displays the total of quantity balances. This total is calculated by considering the +/- sign of each entry line and by applying the Debit-Credit formula.

SEEINFO The quantity on the entry line is considered as having the same sign as the line amount.

Example:

Entry 

Balance 

Entry with a positive credit amount and positive quantity

The balance of the quantity is displayed with a minus sign in the analytical balance/pyramid inquiry.

Entry with a negative credit amount and negative quantity

The balance of the quantity is displayed with no sign, meaning a positive value, in the analytical balance/pyramid inquiry.

Entry with a positive debit amount and positive quantity

The balance of the quantity is displayed with no sign, meaning a positive value, in the analytical balance/pyramid inquiry.

Entry with a negative debit amount and negative quantity

The balance of the quantity is displayed with a minus sign in the analytical balance/pyramid inquiry.

Limitations

Limits related to access codes

The analytical balance can be launched using a budget code when:

  • the user cannot retrieve the related access code in the list,
  • or the user has the access code but does not have inquiry rights.

However, at the details level, for totals related to accounts with or without a pyramid (and with or without an access code), the accounts are locked: when the user does not have inquiry rights or the proper access code to some accounts, then these accounts are not displayed. Besides, in this context, the total displayed in the details grid only includes the amounts related to accounts authorized for inquiry.

Here, the software does not consider the potential budget and/or pyramid access codes, but focuses on the access code set up for accounts.

In the event of an analytical balance inquiry with a "dimension"-type totaling level, no lock applies to the screen access codes, whether it concerns a budget, a pyramid or a dimension. All the valued dimensions belonging to the specified dimension type are displayed, even if for some dimensions the user does not have the related access codes, or does but without inquiry rights.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

Chart of accounts incompatible between companies

The inquiry is requested for a group where the charts of accounts are not identical.

<company code> <period end date>: Incorrect period

The inquiry targets a group where companies do not have the same period split.

Incompatible currency

The inquiry applies to a group where ledgers have different currencies.

Too many companies

The inquiry is requested for a company group that includes more companies than the maximum value defined in the BLAMAXCPY – Dimension balance inquiry max parameter (CPT chapter, ANA group).
