The Home workspace of the Entity Data Collection is the entry point of the data collection workflow for each Constituent Entity (CE). It shows the current milestone status of the entity selected from the Company drop-down list at the top of the workspace and a table of milestones for the other entities in its group that you are authorised to see for CbCR. With the necessary permissions you can advance the selected entity's milestone by clicking its status icon, or roll back another entity's milestone from the table. You can also export the selected entity's data — its Financial Data, Business Activities, and CE Information — to MS Excel.

The Home workspace can be found under Country-by-Country-Reporting | Entity Data Collection | Home and is displayed as follows, for example:

The home workspace is displayed.
'Home' workspace

With the necessary permissions, you can change milestone statuses directly from the Home workspace by clicking the status icons:

  • To advance the selected entity's milestone, click the status icon under Milestone status of the selected company and confirm in the dialog. The status moves forward one step.
  • To roll back another entity's milestone, click the entity's status icon under Milestones of depending entities or subgroups and confirm in the dialog.

The available milestone statuses are Not Started, In Process, Finished, and Checked. You cannot set an arbitrary status — you can only advance the selected entity's milestone forward or roll another entity's milestone back.

The workspace is read-only when the CbCR period is closed.

The Excel export function exports the data of the selected Constituent Entity to an Excel file (.XLS or .XLSX). The file covers that entity only and contains its Financial Data, Business Activities, and CE Information.

To export the selected entity's data to MS Excel:

1

Click Excel export. The Excel export dialog is displayed as follows, for example:
