  • Patent number: 10325276
    Abstract: Financial reporting methods and systems integrate profitability and accounting data. A universal journal entry allows user definition of relevant characteristics for a market segment. The entry appends the structure of a financial document to provide linkage to market segment characteristics. When creating the financial document including profit and loss (P&L) and balance account line items, a market segment is defined with determined characteristics stored in the line item on the basis of business process dependent rules. For example in posting information on a sales order item, sales order data may be read, and customer, product, and/or other sales order information input. Additional data can be derived on the basis of the determined master data, depending upon user needs. Embodiments allow enriched reporting (e.g., flexible market segment reporting) at the line item level, affording intuitive access to defined characteristics, e.g., drill-down into details of P&L and balance account information.

  • Patent number: 7987121
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating an accounting document. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided. A message is received that includes operational data. An accounting notification is generated that includes the operational data using a first business object. The accounting notification is processed and the accounting document is generated using a second business object. The accounting document includes a number of posting lines corresponding to the operational data. The accounting document is processed and a set of third business objects is assigned to each posting line. The set of third business objects includes at least one general ledger account business object and a plurality of sub-ledger account business objects. One or more data processing tasks are delegated to the one of the third business objects that are assigned to the given posting line.
