The master value manager

The Master value manager is the "control center" for all master values. Keep track of which master values are stored in the MeetingPoint. Here you can also create manual values to use them later for cross-file validations. In addition, you can create account groups, account calculations and account aggregates. It is also possible to add and subtract account values in an account calculation. To continue working in the Excel document, you must close the Master value manager.

The master value manager interface

The Master value manager interface quickly provides you with all the important information and tools for comfortable work with master values, account calculations and account aggregates.

Management

Add

The Add dialog in the master value manager

Here you can add a manual value, account calculation, account group or account aggregates to the MeetingPoint.

Manual value

A Manual value is stored in the MeetingPoint and can also only be changed in the Master value manager. In order to better structure your manual values, you must give the value a designation; optionally, a comment can also be stored.

	Good to know
	You can only enter numbers in the “Value” field. If a letter or special character occurs in the number (provided it does not occur at the first location), these characters are removed when you click “OK”.

Account group

In addition, new account groups can be added. Here it is only necessary to assign a name - and newly created account groups can later be assigned values from account folders and the Data import.

Account calculation

You can create an account calculation in which you add or subtract account values. It is necessary to give the account calculation a name and assign it to an existing account group.

Account aggregate

You can create an account aggregate by adding or subtracting account values and account calculations. As with account calculation, you must give the account aggregate a name and assign it to an existing account group.

Edit

Change the selected manual master value. It is also possible to edit account calculations, account aggregates and manual rounding values.

Edit name

Edit the name of the selected master value. You can also rename account groups here.

Edit comment

Create or edit a comment for a single value displayed in the Master value manager.

Delete

Deletes the selected master value, account group, account aggregate, key date or manual rounding value from the MeetingPoint.

Copy key date

You can copy the key date and the corresponding accounts in the Master value manager. A dialog opens in which you can assign a new key date to the accounts without having to go via the account workbook. This is a convenient way to prepare your values for the coming fiscal year.

Convert transmitter value

Converts the selected transmitter value into a manual master value.

Informations

Check use

Checks whether a transmitter value is used in cross-file validation. The list of recipient files then indicates in which files this transmitter value is used.

In the list view, all master values, account groups, account calculations and account aggregates currently stored in the MeetingPoint are displayed. Further information on the individual values can be displayed at the top right of the Central Manager via the "Expand all" or "Reduce all" button.
