## Content

**Intro:** Financial reporting in Infor LN combines native report definitions with Infor BI and Application Studio to produce balance sheets, income statements, cash flow reports, and management analytics. Session tfgld0520m (Financial Report Definitions) allows finance teams to build flexible report structures using row definitions, column layouts, and calculation formulas that pull directly from the GL without requiring data exports.

**Sections:**

#### Report Definitions and Structure

**Body:** Infor LN financial reports are constructed through session tfgld0520m using a combination of row definitions, column layouts, and report sets. Row definitions map ledger account ranges to report lines, while column layouts define the time periods, currencies, and comparative data shown. This modular approach allows a single set of row definitions to serve multiple report formats including monthly management reporting, quarterly board packs, and annual statutory filings.

**Bullets:**

- Create row definitions in tfgld0520m mapping ledger account ranges to report lines with subtotal and total hierarchies
- Define column layouts specifying current period, year-to-date, prior year comparative, and budget variance columns
- Configure report sets that combine row and column definitions with formatting rules for different stakeholder audiences
- Set up drill-down capability from report totals to underlying journal entries for audit trail transparency
- Build custom financial ratios and KPI calculations directly within report definitions using formula rows

#### Multi-Currency and Consolidation Reporting

**Body:** Infor LN supports parallel reporting in multiple currencies and GAAP standards through its financial reporting framework. Reports can be generated in local currency, group reporting currency, and any additional reporting currency simultaneously. Consolidation reports aggregate data across multiple companies with proper currency translation and intercompany elimination, supporting both IFRS and local GAAP requirements.

**Bullets:**

- Generate reports in local, group, and additional reporting currencies with configurable translation rate sources
- Configure consolidation reporting hierarchies to aggregate subsidiary data with automatic elimination adjustments
- Build management reporting dimensions that cross-cut the legal entity structure for business line or regional views
- Support parallel GAAP reporting by maintaining separate ledger layers for IFRS and local statutory requirements

#### BI Integration and Advanced Analytics

**Body:** For advanced financial analytics beyond native LN reporting, integration with Infor BI through Infor OS and Birst provides self-service dashboards, trend analysis, and predictive financial modeling. BI cubes populated from LN financial data enable multi-dimensional analysis, ad-hoc querying, and visual reporting that finance teams can configure without IT support.

**Bullets:**

- Connect LN financial data to Infor Birst for self-service dashboard creation and visual analytics
- Configure automated report distribution schedules delivering formatted financial reports via email to stakeholders
- Build executive dashboards combining financial KPIs with operational metrics from logistics and manufacturing modules
