Glossary

After creating a Lucanet.Financial Warehouse (#2068) data source, the settings for importing data from Lucanet.Financial Warehouse are configured in the detail view of the data source.

The following general properties of the data source can be configured in the upper area of the detail view:

Option	Description
Name	Name of the data source
Drill down to posting level	Script for drill-down to posting level Drill down for direct access to Lucanet.Financial Warehouse (#5015) (optional)
Display scanned documents	Script that enables the display of scanned documents (optional)

The Configuration tab is divided into three subordinate tabs: General, Reporting Entities, and Lucanet.Financial Warehouse.

The General tab consists of the following sections:

If necessary, in the Data Source for Lucanet.Financial Warehouse column, select the data sources from which Lucanet.Financial Warehouse is to be updated before data import. All data sources from the Importing Data into Lucanet.Financial Warehouse workspace can be selected.

Values to be imported:

Posting documents and opening balance sheet values:

Activated by default

Statistical values:

Optional. If activated, you must enter the code for at least one value category in the displayed

StatisticValueCategoryCode

column.

The desired import type:

Transaction figures or balances (selection when importing)

Transaction figures

Balances

Balances - schedules only

Transaction figures incl. automatic contra entry (only planning)

Opening balance sheet values

Data levels into which the data are to be imported.

Enter the name of the data level in the DataLevelCode column.

Adjustment levels into which the data are to be imported.

Enter the name of the adjustment level in the AdjustmentLevelCode column.

Number of accounting periods per year (default: 12)

If you specify a number greater than 12, all periods greater than 12 are imported by default into period 12. You have the option to specify whether the additional periods are to be imported with a suffix into separate adjustment levels.

If you specify a number greater than 12, then it is only possible to import transaction figures.

Specify which dimensions are to be imported. The Account dimension is always activated. If necessary, change the displayed dimension code in the DimensionCode column.

Cost centers in the Balance Sheet: If the use of the Cost center dimension is activated, you can specify whether a drill down by cost centers should be performed in the balance sheet:

Use default cost centers always (recommended)

: The default cost center is used

Use specified cost centers

: The cost center whose code was specified for the dimension

Cost center

will be used

If necessary, specify whether you want to reclassify values during the data import. The following options are available:

Accounts and partner for intercompany postings.

If the use of the Partner dimension is activated, the corresponding accounts and partners can be specified in the Accounts to be analyzed table.

Suffix for the account name.

Specify the desired suffix in the displayed DimensionCode field.

Reclassification of debit or credit balances when importing balances or opening balance sheet values.

Specify the desired code in the DimensionCodefor the ‘Subledger account’ dimension field. In the Accounts to be analyzed area, the account range ( Account from and Account to) and the balances to be reclassified ( Credit or Debit) must be specified.

Selecting the currency or currencies to be imported

Specify the currencies to be imported.

If necessary, specify the reporting entities that are to be available for selection when importing the data.

The following fields must be specified for each reporting entity:

Option	Description
Displayed name	The name displayed to the user during the data import when selecting the reporting entities to be imported
Abbreviation in Lucanet	An abbreviation that can be used to derive the complete cost center description (e.g. Holding for the cost center Holding.Personnel Costs)
ID in the data source	The name or technical ID of the reporting entity in the data source
First month of the fiscal year	The number of the month in which the company’s fiscal year begins (e.g. 5 for May, 1 for January)

Activate the Split data imports during first execution check box to split the data import into multiple import files. When the data import is executed for the first time, a separate import file is created for each defined reporting entity. If you do not activate the check box, one import file is created for the entire data import.

By splitting a data import by reporting entities, subsequent updates can in some cases be performed much faster, since complete data imports are not updated each time, but rather individual reporting units separately.

The following additional options are available for splitting and/or combining data imports:

Using categories, import data from multiple reporting entities can be combined into one import file.

When activated, the Category column is displayed in the reporting entities table. For reporting entities whose import data are to be combined into one import file, the same category must be specified in the Category column.

Data imports from multiple reporting entities cannot be combined into one import file and split into different folders at the same time using categorization. It is, however, possible to use different categories within a folder.

Using folders, generated import files can be distributed to different folders. When activated, the Folder column is displayed in the reporting entities table. For reporting entities whose import files are to be stored in the same folder, the same folder name must be specified in the Folder column.

The folders including the generated import files are automatically created under Data Imports during import.

A prefix and/or a suffix can be added to the name of the generated import files:

Use prefix

: Select from the drop-down list (Year, Accounting period, Accounting period and year, Period, Category)

Use suffix

: Select from the drop-down list (Year, Accounting period, Accounting period and year, Period, Category)

Lucanet.Financial Warehouse connection information

The following connection information must be specified on the Lucanet.Financial Warehouse tab:

The desired database system

Configuration of the required database parameters and the access data of the technical user ( User and Password)

The parameters to be specified depend on the chosen database.

In the section Configuring Database Connections, you can find a table with the default parameters that must be specified, depending on the selected database.

Test whether a connection can be established with the configured database

The elements that use the data source are displayed on the Uses tab.

You can open the respective element by clicking the link in the Name column.

Shows the uses tab. Highlighted is the name of the tab and the name column. — 'Uses' tab
