      <ProcIntro>
         <ProcedureList>
            <ListIntro>After you have defined financial statements, you must
			 process the information to the FST reporting tables so that an external report
			 writer can use the tables to create financial reports. For performance reasons,
			 the export process is split up into two parts:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>The financial GLD and FBS values are exported to an interim
			 table, and all required balances are calculated, such as balance sheet, income
			 state amount, year-to-date value, and budget values.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Each financial statement is processed so that interim values
			 are merged with the financial statement structures.</ListItem>
         </ProcedureList>
      </ProcIntro>
      <Steps>
         <StepsIntro>The following steps list the sessions that are
		  involved:</StepsIntro>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Set the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst0500m000#tffst000.relb" role="manual">Actual Value Code</GUIRef> parameter</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>In the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst0500m000" role="session">Financial Statement Parameters (tffst0500m000)</Link> session,
			 set the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst0500m000#tffst000.relb" role="formfield">Actual Value Code</Link> parameter.</Paragraph>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Export financial statement values</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>Run the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1204m000" role="session">Export Financial Values (tffst1204m000)</Link> session to fill the financial values
			 table (tffst305) with the financial values from the GLD and FBS tables.
			 Calculated values, such as periodical balance sheets and year-to-date figures,
			 are also exported to the financial values table.</Paragraph>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Merge financial values with financial statements</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>Run the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000" role="session">Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1205m000)</Link> session to merge the exported financial values with the financial
			 statements.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If you select the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000#export.stat" role="formfield">Export Financial Statement Account Structure</Link> check box in
			 the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000" role="session">Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1205m000)</GUIRef> session, you can skip step
			 4.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000#export.stat" role="manual">Export Financial Statement Account Structure</GUIRef> check
			 box is cleared, continue with step 4.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If you select the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000#export.stat.la" role="formfield">Export Ledger Account Hierarchy</Link> check
			 box or the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000#export.stat.dim" role="formfield">Export Dimension Hierarchy</Link> check box, you can skip step
			 5.</Paragraph>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Export financial statement account structure
			 (optional)</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>If you did not already use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000#export.stat" role="manual">Export Financial Statement Account Structure</GUIRef> option
			 in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1205m000" role="session">Process Financial Statement Values (tffst1205m000)</GUIRef> session (step 3), you can
			 now use the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fst/tffst1220m000" role="session">Export Financial Statement Account Structure (tffst1220m000)</Link> session to export
			 the account structure to the FST reporting tables. If the parent-child
			 structure of a specific financial statement has changed without changing the
			 financial values, you can also use this session to export the account
			 structure. In that case, you do not need to export and process the values again
			 as described in steps 2 and 3.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>
               <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Note</GUIRef>:
			 The statement account structure must be set up correctly to successfully export
			 the structure to the FST tables. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000331" role="manual">To set up the statement account structure</Link>.</Paragraph>
         </Step>

               </ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>In addition to exporting the statement accounts and their
				parent-child relations, you can run this session to export the ledger account
				hierarchy to the ledger account hierarchy (tffst320) table.</ListItem>

               </ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>In addition to exporting the statement accounts and their
				parent-child relations, you can run this session to export one or more
				dimension hierarchies to the dimension hierarchy tables (tffst331-tffst335).</ListItem>
