Unit Sets

Form ID: (CS206030)

To define what data will be displayed in each analytical report and how it will be organized, you need to define the row set and column set; optionally, you can define the unit set. Unit sets are used to organize the report structure when the groups of rows and columns included in the report use data from different data sources, or when formulas must be applied to calculate the report values based on the data from the particular groups of columns and rows. For more information about the unit sets, see Unit Sets.

The Unit Sets form, which is part of the Analytical Report Manager in MYOB Acumatica, displays the unit sets defined for the analytical reports. You can view or modify existing unit sets, create new unit sets, and delete any unit sets. For each unit set, define the units to be available for the analytical report and provide the unit description.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.


Button	Description

Summary Area

This area of the form displays basic information about the particular unit set. You can define a new row set, or you can look up an existing one by selecting its code or using the actions in the form toolbar.


Element	Description
Code	The unique code used to identify the unit set. You can use up to 10 alphanumeric characters.
Type	The data source of the unit set. Select one of the following options: GL: The General Ledger module is used as the data source. The data is selected from GLHistory. PM: The Projects module is used as the data source. The data is selected from PMHistory joined with PMBudget. One of the join parameters is InventoryID, which is an input parameter of the data source. If PMBudget has no data with the corresponding InventoryID that matches PMHistory, the system returns zero for the respective budget amounts. When the Projects module is used as the data source, the Start Period and the End Period selectors of the Data Source Editor list the financial periods by master calendar.
