The column scheme defines the column structure (layout) of a report. Even if you use several outlines (sub-reports), the same column scheme is always used within a report so that the sub-reports are comparable.
Go to Finance > Reports > Reporting and call up any report.
Expand the "Other settings" business object and click on Edit all column schemes.
If your list is empty, you can first add the missing standard definitions. These serve as a starting point in which you can then edit or copy them directly.
The components of a column scheme
By selecting a row and editing (or adding for a new, empty column scheme), you can access the overview of the components. The header area contains the name and description as well as a language control (1) in accordance with the G/L account master.
The position (1) determines the order from left to right.
The column ID (2) determines the content of a column, which is fixed.
You can influence the printout via the manual column designation (3).
For further differentiation, you can give the columns different colors (4).
