Signs with Debit and Credit Figures

Every account is either a debit account or a credit account. The appearance of debit and credit figures on input and report templates depends on the use of show_dk parameters in the template definitions. Different show_dk parameters are used for income accounts, balance accounts, and other accounts.

Below is an example of the default case when the show_dk parameter is not used in the input or report template definition file. For more information and examples of the parameter usage, refer to Clausion Financial Performance Management Input and Report Template Parameters.

Default case

By default (if the show_dk parameter is not used in the input or report template definition file), figures are shown on input and report templates as they appear in the database multiplied by the account's D/C code (debit +1 or credit -1).

*Intragroup transactions are multiplied by -1 when saved to the database. Intragroup transactions are also multiplied by -1 when retrieved from the database to an input column (to a column with the definition type=input ), but not when retrieved from the database to a report column (to a column with the definition type=report).
