| # Create statement layouts To create a financial statement layout Step 1. Define the general layout In the Statement Layouts (tffst0110m000) session, click . The Statement Layouts (tffst0610m000) session appears. Enter a code and description.

Under Column Definition, define the following: Column separator Number of column header lines Position of statement account Position of statement account description.

Define account layouts On the Account Layouts tab, do the following: For each account and sublevel, or a range of accounts or sublevels, define: How the account must be printed On which position of the report the account code must be printed (0 = do not print) Where the account description must be printed Which line must be printed and where. For annexure reports define: Which annexure elements must be printed Company, ledger account, and dimensions. For each of these fields, define its position and description.
