To import balance sheet data and P&L values from Lucanet Consolidation & Financial Planning (CFP) into Income Taxes, an interface must be created and configured. The steps required to do this are described here.

To import data from Consolidation & Financial Planning into Income Taxes, you must create a technical user with a user name and password in Lucanet.Financial Client. Proceed as follows:

1

If necessary, open Lucanet.Financial Client.

2

Switch to the Users and user groups workspace.

3

Select the Users root folder and choose New | Technical user from the context menu. The Create element dialog is displayed:

The 'Create element' dialog for creating a technical user
Creating a technical user
4

In the User area, enter the user name.

5

In the Password area, define the password.

6

Click OK or press Enter.

The settings in the Language and formatting area apply to the display in Lucanet.Financial Client and do not need to be configured for the import into Income Taxes.

In Tax Data Hub, the connection parameters to Lucanet database must be configured. To create a new interface connection:

1

Open Tax Data Hub.

2

Navigate to the Datasources workspace and click Create. The following parameters are displayed:

Tax Data Hub konfigurieren
Tax Data Hub konfigurieren
3

Configure the parameters as follows:

Password

Database name

Lucanet client URL

Click Next.

The system checks whether the connection to Lucanet Consolidation & Financial Planning can be established. If successful, a second column will appear with additional input fields for the configuration of the interface:

Parameter

You must then configure the interface in Income Taxes. This includes maintaining the interface settings in the master data. Proceed as follows:

1

Navigate to master data and Interfaces | Structure.

2

Click Create. The following dialog is displayed:

Schnittstellen-Struktur anlegen und konfigurieren

3

Configure the new structure. The following parameters must be configured:

Interface Type/Source

Select either Tax Data Hub - REST or Tax Data Hub - Financial Warehouse.

Destination

Default Interface

Yes: The interface is displayed always in the Import Suite workspace.

No: The interface is displayed only if it is assigned to the company in the master data.

Item (or account) IDs often vary between different IT systems. It is therefore necessary to create an assignment for these item IDs (mapping) before the import process. The mapping is configured in an Excel file. Proceed as follows:

1

Open the Import Mapping workspace and select the created interface structure.

Arbeitsbereich 'Importmapping'
Arbeitsbereich 'Importmapping'

If the Import Mapping workspace is not visible, please contact your Lucanet consultant.

2

Click + and enter a template name and, if required, a description. Then click + again. The template will then be displayed, for example, as follows:

Template in the 'Import Mapping' workspace

3

Click to download the template, i.e. the Excel file.

4

Edit the template and configure the Excel file as follows:

Field

Description

Schnittstelle

Enter the interface defined under Master Data | Interfaces | | Structure.

Bilance type

IFRS/Local GAAP

Mapping type

External => IFRS

Excel file for the mapping

5

Click to upload the edited template, i.e. the Excel file, again.

The created Excel file can be used only with the structure for which it was defined.

The IDs for reporting units vary between Lucanet CFP and Income Taxes. Income Taxes uses a Unit ID, while Lucanet CFP uses the Object ID (OID) property. To execute the import interface, Income Taxes must know the correct OID for the corresponding reporting unit (= reporting entity) in Lucanet CFP.

To specify the OID from Lucanet in Income Taxes:

1

In Income Taxes, navigate to Master Data and select Companies.

2

On the Company data tab, enter the OID of the desired reporting entity in the Company assignment LN-Client field.

Lucanet OID in den Stammdaten hinterlegen
Lucanet OID in den Stammdaten hinterlegen
3

Click Update to save your entries.

The interface is now set up and ready to use. Proceed as follows:

1

Go to the Company | Import Suite workspace.

2

Select the configured interface.

Konfigurierte Schnittstelle für den Import wählen
Konfigurierte Schnittstelle für den Import wählen
3

Adjust the start and end dates if required. The suggested end date corresponds to the last day of the selected period, while the start date is generally January 1 of the relevant calendar year.

4

Click Import to start the process. After a few moments, the result is displayed as an import log:

Importprotokoll nach dem Importieren

5

This view of the log shows a condensed list of all successfully imported items. To view comprehensive details, including information on items that were not imported, click Import protocol.
