Financial Statement Generator
Overview of the Financial Statement Generator:
Oracle applications has provided many standard reports for meeting the business reporting requirements. Limitation on the standard reports is that they cannot provide the data as required by the user in the
required format. To overcome this limitation of standard reports and to make the designing of the financial reports more flexible, Oracle applications also has a feature called Financial Statement Generator
(FSG)
Financial Statement Generator (FSG) facilitates designing of custom reports as per the requirements of the users. FSG helps in defining new reports without any programming and the reports can be
prepared from the applications itself using Oracle General Ledger responsibility.
A Financial statement can be a Profit and Loss account, Balance Sheet, Comparative Income Statements, Trial balance etc.
FSG Setup:
Please find the below detail steps of FSG setup:
1. Components of FSG
2. Defining and Running the FSG Report

Row Set Required Report title, account combinations
Column Set Required Account type, column headings
Content Set Optional Overrides row set account combinations and display options
Row Order Optional Sort order and display options for expanded row
Display Set Optional Electric ’white out’
2. Defining and Running the FSG Report

Row Set Account Assignments
9/5/24, 18:18 Note: 2474364.2
Row Set Account Assignments:
Select the accounts that needs to be displayed on the report. They can be defined for both row
and column set. If accounts are assigned to both row set and column set FSG reports only on the
intersecting accounts.
Display type:
• E – Expands the range and display all the segment values. Creates multiple rows from a
single row definition. When a parent value is used, the summary field should be unchecked
to display all the child values in the report.
• T- Total the range and display only the total of the segment value. It limits the number
rows that appear in a row.
• B- Both options allows the display of detail rows and total rows.
Activity:
Net, DR or CR according to the requirement.
Set of books/Ledger:
Can select other SOB/Ledger, if share same calendar and chart of accounts.

Column Set:
A column set defines the format and content of the columns in an FSG report. The commonly assumed attribute for a column definition is a time period (amount type), whereas the attribute for a row definition is
an account assignment. Therefore, typical column sets include headings and subheadings, amount types, format masks, currency assignments and calculation columns for totals.

9/5/24, 18:18 Note: 2474364.2
Content Set:
Content Sets are similar to row sets. They are used to override row and column account
assignments and display types to create multiple variations of existing reports. Content sets are probably the most confusing aspect of FSG definition. It is the complexity and variation of content set options that
contribute to its ’mystery’. In a business environment, mastering the content set can significantly reduce report development efforts.

Display Sets:
Display sets are used to control (hide) the display of ranges of rows and/or columns in a
report. To use display sets you must also define display groups to identify the ranges of rows and/or columns whose display you want to control.
