Hi Vijay
Let me tell you the purpose of the GL -- >Setup -- > Financial Statement You are able to get the reports from the system like the trial balance and other ledger reports. The purpose of Financial statement is that you should be able to design your own financial statements like balance sheet and profit & loss according to your own format..which then you can print for the management. Let me tell you about the Dimension focus, Financial statement and Row definition Dimension Focus: it is used if your management want to see the financial report department wise or ledger account wise then you can select any number of dimensions in the dimension focus and you will be able to design the repot accordingly. Also this is mandatory to create a dimension focus. You can even only select ledger account in the dimension focus. Row Definition: it is where you will design your financial report here you have to do the whole designing of your report Financial Statement: this is the layout of your report means you report will be printed on the basis of this setup. Here you define how many columns my report will have and also their name and you assign a row definition to the financial statement which you have designed. Then you would be able to print your own financial statement Hope it would help you J Regards , Sanam From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of viju27_kumar Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 7:22 PM To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Financial statement & Dimension focuses in AX4 Hi All, Any one can help me out what is the use of dimension focus,financial statement and row defination under GL->setup->Financial statement folder.
