In the Balance Sheet Structure workspace, you can import the balance sheet structure that is stored in the Income Taxes module of the Tax Compliance & Reporting solution into Tax Balance. You can then store any adjustments made in Tax Balance at the individual company level and transfer them back to Income Taxes. For each adjustment, you can choose the target item in Income Taxes to which it is to be transferred.

The balance sheet structure is imported from Income Taxes in the form of a CSV file, whose structure is fixed and described in this chapter.

The Balance Sheet Structure workspace in Tax Balance is opened under Master Data | Balance Sheet Structure.

The workspace is displayed as follows, for example:
