Creating layouts – An overview

You can define a layout number that is unique for the type of finance book and the finance book for which the layout is being created. You can also describe the layout in detail. A layout can be classified for usage in a “Balance Sheet”, “Income Statement” or the “Cash Flow Statement”. A layout can be used as per the classification made.

You can carry out a search to retrieve schedules that have been created earlier. You can search by specifying a range of schedule numbers or by giving the description of the schedule that you want to retrieve. This page also gives you the facility to carry out the search to retrieve all the “Active” schedules that are available in the selected finance book. This facility also allows you to retrieve all the schedules that remain unmapped to any layout.

You can select the schedule numbers that have been retrieved based on the search criteria to include them in the layout. You can map multiple schedules to a layout. You can also indicate the sequence in which the schedules must figure in the layout.

This page also allows you to group schedules under a layout. You can enter a unique heading and description for the group. A unique number is also generated for the group.

The status of the layout is updated as “Active” when it is created newly. The system stores the login user ID and the system date along with the creation details.
