| # Set financial statement parameters Before you can use the Financial Statements (FST) module, you must set a number of parameters. Therefore, in the Financial Statement Parameters (tffst0500m000) session, specify the following: Actual Value Code To use an external reporting tool to create statements based on the values stored in the FST tables, specify a code to differentiate actual values from budget values. In the LN tables, the budget values are distinguished by means of a budget code. The values without a budget code are actual values. To identify the actual values in Financials, an actual value code is added to the actual values before they are stored in the FST tables used by the external reporting tool. Retain Ratio History for x Years To calculate ratios and use calculated ratios from previous periods in your statements, specify the number of years the ratio history must be retained. Backup before deleting Ratio History If this check box is selected, LN copies obsolete ratio data to the archive company before deleting this obsolete data. Convert Statement Report to RPT If this check box is selected, LN converts the statement report to a BIRT-compatible format. Max Number of Transaction Lines in GBF Specify the maximum number of transaction lines to be displayed in the GBF ( graphical browser framework). Default value: 30 Maximum Size Transaction Table Specify the maximum size of the transactions table. If the table size exceeds the parameter value, LN will prompt the user to reduce the table size using the Delete Statement Transactions (tffst1500m100) session.
