To setup financial reporting, perform the following: 1. The first step in setting up Financial Reporting is to define the components of the hierarchy, which are known as 'Dictionaries'. Refer to  Financial Reporting Dictionary Maintenance  for further information. 2. The second step in setting up Financial reporting is to define the Chart of Accounts. If you have been using ProStix already then this will already have been defined. The Chart can be maintained either in ProStix or in Financial Reporting and each system will see the changes made. To maintain the Chart in Financial Reporting,refer to  Chart of Accounts Maintenance 3. When the steps above have been completed, you can choose to setup the links for either the  Organisational Structure  or the  Financial Structure . Both structures need to be setup for the system to work properly. 4. The final step is to  assign any unassigned accounts  to an appropriate section before any financial reports are produced.
