Configure Financial Metrics Reporting in AP&C

Configure definitions for the

Financial Metrics

report in Adaptive Planning and Consolidation (AP&C) for your companies and company hierarchies. The report enables accountants and financial analysts to provide executives with a quick snapshot of key metrics such as liquidity, balance sheet, and profit/loss.

Access the

Create/Edit Financial Metrics Definition

task.

As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
Company	Select one or more companies and company hierarchies that the financial metrics definition applies to. All must use the same fiscal schedule and belong to the same account set. Financial metrics default to the company of the user but the user who runs the report can change it. If the user has a financial reporting role in more than 1 company, Workday uses the highest company within the highest hierarchy node.
Translation Currency	The currency of the report. You can run the report in any currency in which you have exchange rates for conversion.
Account Translation Rule Set	If the company currency differs from the translation currency, select a translation rule set to calculate the translated amounts. You can use the default rate or any other translation rule sets of the company.
Default Time Period	The relative time period choices that Workday provides, such as current period year to date (YTD), last 12 periods, and last year. The user who runs the report can change this selection.
Book	Narrow the activity in the reporting metrics to a specific book.
