DATABASE FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES

摘要

A database is created for accounting purposes, which can be used to prepare financial statements for the organizational units of an enterprise. According to one method, document data records are saved from posting documents to a document database. The document data records include a document header and a data part. The data part includes entries for at least two items each of which include a posting amount and an account assigned thereto. Totals may be calculated from one or more posting amounts of the document data records saved, for the accounts assigned thereto. Furthermore, the totals may be saved to totals entries of a totals table.
