The following entries are possible: 1: This means that an accumulated balance sheet is created, that is, the balance is calculated from the balance carried forward plus the periods 01 to the upper limit of the reporting and comparison periods you have specified. The lower limit specified in these parameters is ignored in this case. Balance sheet accounts and P+L accounts are treated the same. 2: This means that a flow of funds analysis is created, that is, the balance is calculated from the reporting and comparison periods you specified. The balance carried forward is not taken into consideration. Balance sheet accounts and P+L accounts are treated the same. 3: This means a combination of possibilities "1" and "2". Here balance sheet accounts are dealt with as described under balance sheet type 1, and P+L accounts as described under balance sheet type 2. 4: This means that an opening balance sheet is created. Here only the balance carried forward is used for the reporting and comparison periods. Accounts which have not yet been posted to or have a zero balance, are also displayed in this variant. 3 Values

The default value 0/0 means that the amounts are output in the right currency and in full length. The entry 3/1 would mean that the amounts would be output in thousands with one decimal place. 1 Values
