Organization Elements
Last updated on 2025-07-08
Overview
The structure of your enterprise is recreated in the Organization elements workspace. The Organization elements workspace is used for the creation, modification or deletion of references to objects that were previously created in the Reporting entities workspace or in the Groups workspace. You can set up not only one but any number of structures, because there is no limit to the number of references that can be created to the objects from the Reporting entities and the Groups workspace, nor to the combinations that can be formed from them.
Elements of the Workspace
The Organization elements workspace contains the following elements:
Option
Description
Organization groups
Organization groups are used in structures to combine all of the structure elements of the entire structure or of substructures that belong together. For example, all of the structure units of a group can be combined in one organization group and all of the structure units from subgroups can be combined in separate organization groups (see Creating and Configuring Organization Groups).
References
References are links to elements that were previously defined in the Reporting entities or the Groups workspace (see section Creating and Configuring References).
Total lines
Total lines are used for calculating totals or subtotals in structures (see Creating and Configuring Total Lines).
Residual amounts
Residual amounts are created automatically in the Organization elements workspace when displaying a group by levels using nested consolidation areas. Residual amounts can correct possible multiple recordings of consolidation units. One residual amount is created per consolidation unit which was recorded several times, containing the reference to consolidation unit and the associated reference to consolidation unit - cancelation (see Configuring Residual Amounts).
