Advanced Entity reports

Advanced reports let you analyse data within a year and across FBT years, and within or across reporting entities. Your ability to use advanced reports is controlled by your licence and which FBT periods you have available in ONESOURCE Fringe Benefits Tax.
Advanced reports are typically used for reporting on the organisation as a whole, or at the management group level. The concept of whole of organisation refers to grouping reporting entities for management reporting purposes, rather than for legal entity consolidation. Grouped reporting entities are a consolidation of divisions within a legal entity and does not support consolidating separate legal entities or elements of different legal entities. The Advanced Report lets you perform this management reporting function more easily.
note
Be careful how you interpret the FBT payables in advanced reports if you are a concessionally treated entity. Refer to the Employer reports, which are designed for concessional employer reporting based on employee-level capping.
There are 4 standard reports. These can be modified or new custom reports created.

  • Cost Centre
