The appearance of this form depends on this Company’s Account segment structure. A Company having multiple Account segments such as Departments, Divisions and Funds would have additional boxes for Division and Fund. Those boxes would be similar to the Department box in this example. A Company that has only the Financial segment would have no segment boxes.
The Report, Year and Period and Compared To boxes determine common characteristics of this report request.
The Individual and/or Consolidated, and the All or Selected options in the segment boxes determine how many variations of the fundamental report are generated.
The example below illustrates a Company that has Departments but no other Account segments.
