Return to Financial Consolidation Model Overview.

The Geographical areas report uses the balance segment cube to present the financial performance of a company's operations in different geographical regions.

This report provides a detailed view of the company's financial performance in different geographic locations. The report includes financial information such as Profit/Loss lines and balance sheet lines like assets and liabilities, broken down by operating segment

Report Heading

The report heading updates dynamically as various reporting options are selected. Below it shows the Version, Month_YTD, Entity, and Currency dimensions. (Actual 2020-12_YTD, Total Group, In US Dollar ):

The logo can be changed in Administration; see Configuring Design Elements for more on report design.

You can select your base elements in the Comboboxes below the report heading:

The Version dimension separates actual figures from planning figures, see full article.
