'Reporting Entities' Tab
Option
Description

Abbreviation in Lucanet

First month of the fiscal year

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:
Option
Description
Categorize 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.
Use 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.
Adjust name of the month
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)
