.Deferred balances
- Expanded Balance Sheet:
- You can now assignTax ratesandFX ratesto theRate Changecolumn or any other column, except for the designated subtotal column. TheRate Changecolumn is visible in theDeferredandTax Loss Rollforwardcolumns, making it movable.
- Previously, theRate Changecolumn was fixed in the 2nd position immediately afterBeginning Balanceand calculated theRate Changebased on theBeginning Balance.
- Now, after introducing theRate Changecolumn in theDeferredandTax Loss Rollforwardlist, you can move theRate Changecolumn and place it anywhere before theEnding Balance. TheRate Changewill revalue all the columns placed before it.
- Currently, all columns are stated at the ending tax rate and ending FX rate, except for theBeginning Balance. When you move theRate Changecolumn to a new position, all columns before theRate Changecolumn will be stated at current tax and current FX rates (exceptBeginning Balance).
- Expanded Income Statement:
- The new balance sheet adjustment section shows the tax rate change differences when theTax rate impactsetting is set toBalance Sheet Only.
- The new section continues to use ending FX rates on all columns, asCurrency Translationoccurs before this section.
Deferred Workpaper
- We've added Report Options forViewandUnit Breakout.
- Viewoptions now includeSummaryandDetail.
- Unit Breakoutoptions now includeNoneorAll.
- Summaryview withUnit Breakoutset toNoneis the original view of this report before you select new options.
- Summaryview withUnit Breakoutset toAllcorresponds to the version available in the Plug-in reports calledDeferred Workpapers By Unit.
- UseDetailto view 4 sets of columns for Balance Sheet or Income Statement, Pre-Tax, and Tax-effected in both Beginning and Ending Balance sections.
- The determination of which column amounts appear is based on selections made in theTax Rate Impactsetting withinManage DeferredandTax Loss Rollforward, whereDeferredequals Income Statement and Balance Sheet Only equals Balance Sheet.
The following limitations apply:
- These changes won’t apply to Tag Datasets.
- You can't rename or delete theRate Changecolumn.
- The Deferred Balances Legacy Report won’t show the additional columns in the expanded Income Statement view.
- You can still use up to 30 columns in the rollforward, includingBeginning Balance,Ending Balance,Rate Change, and a designated subtotal column. When you add the 28th column inManage deferred rollforward, you'll need to designate it as a subtotal column.
- If your dataset already includes a column namedRate Changebefore this release, it will function like any other named column. You can designate it as theRate Changecolumn by usingCopy from AdminorImport.
Known issues
- In the Column Breakout report options onDeferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet), theRate Changeappears twice. Use the 2nd to receive results.
- The designated subtotal column is visible in the Column Breakout report options onDeferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet), but is not yet functional.
- The newTax Rate Impactdropdown in theManage DeferredandTax Loss Rollforwardis not yet functional.
- In a class dataset, the column designated as a subtotal in theDeferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet)will initially appear 1 column after its expected position. However, when you view theManage Deferred Rollforward, the report will then display the column in the correct position.
