Input unit level data, for example reported Profit and Loss and Balance sheet data, is entered using basic input templates.

Enter figures in the input template data columns in the unit currency (usually the accounting currency of the unit). When the input template is saved, the figures are automatically updated in the system database and currency rate conversions are performed.

The entered data is converted to the group currency. Depending on the currency conversion type selected for the account, income statement, balance sheet, or opening balance currency rates are used for the conversion. In addition, the entered figures are converted to cumulative or periodical values (depending on the form of the entered figures) during saving.

Comparison columns may be included in the input template. Note that these columns are only used for reference. Data in them cannot be modified and is not saved when the input template is saved.

Note that data cells are locked for internal accounts in type 1 document series input templates if there is a dependency between type 1 (for example, 10000) and type 2 (for example, 20000) document series. The template may include an input column for type 2, in which case data can be entered using the account drill-down function. The drill-down area displays the input counter unit for creating the internal elimination entry on the correct consolidation level.
