Reporting Codes
Map accounts to standardized reporting groups so financial KPIs and dashboards stay consistent across companies and chart-of-accounts variations. Reporting groups remove the need for manual adjustments or custom reporting by applying centralized mappings to all reports.
Benefits of using account groups
- Ensure KPI consistency across dashboards: Calculate metrics with a single, standardized mapping logic.
- Adapt to different accounting structures: Handle chart-of-accounts variations without changing dashboards or formulas.
- Reduce manual effort: Eliminate repeated account selections and custom report maintenance.
- Improve accuracy and trust: Use centralized mappings to reduce inconsistencies and reconciliation issues.
- Scale and reuse: Apply reporting groups automatically across current and future analyses.
