Please add the Business Unit Filter to the Page. So that Financial Reports that have been created in the Consolidation Entity can be run for the full consolidated group and for the individual subsidiaries from the without having to run the same Financial Report within each of the subsidiary entities, which is less efficient.


If you can use a Business Unit Filter within the Chart of Accounts. It makes logical sense that you'd want a Business Unit Filter on Financial Reports.


I am aware that you can use a Business Unit Filter within Column definitions, which is great when you want to create a column per subsidiary. However, in a scenario where you have a report such as Budget vs Actual Current Month and Budget vs Actual YTD all in the same report and wish to be able to run this for the group or for the individual entities, you cannot simply use a Business Unit Filter to do this, and the Business Unit filter in the column definition is not helpful.

Another scenario is if you have a large no. of subsidiary entities (Over 13), the Business Unit filter in the column definition is not helpful as you would unlikely want a report with that many columns. You also wouldn't want to have to run the report 13 times in 13 different entities, when you could use a filter to run it 13 times in the same entity.


I am also aware that you can implement a solution using a COMPANY dimension in each of the individual entities, which can be rolled up into the Consol company and then use an Analysis View including the COMPANY dimension to use the dimension filter as effectively the same as a Business Unit filter. However, that is only a workable solution when your financial report contains GL only information. If your report contains GL and Statistical Account information in the same report this doesn't work. Because the Analysis view can't create Analysis entries for both the GL and Statistical Account information in the same analysis view. So, the analysis view you need to be able to filter by company now doesn't give you the statistical account information you need. (This is a different problem and i will raise a new idea for this issue).
