Define Reporting Units
Create reporting unit codes to define which scale units and rounding methods a report should use for a given section. Use reporting unit codes in rows, columns, the report record itself, or as a run-time override.
A reporting unit code includes two elements:
• A scale unit to convert report amounts to the desired reporting units. The system does this by dividing the original amount by the scale unit.
• A rounding method to indicate how the amount is rounded after being transformed to the desired units.
The system automatically creates three codes the first time you run Reporting Unit Code Maintenance (25.17.12.5).
