Click General ledger > Setup > Financial statement (traditional) > Row definition.

Use this form to create and manage row definitions for traditional financial statements. Row definitions are used on the traditional financial statements to present data per ledger account and dimension value. For example, the controller creates a row definition based on ledger accounts and another based on different financial dimensions.

To print financial statements, you can use Management Reporter, or you can use the traditional financial statements that are included with Microsoft Dynamics AX. For more information about how to print financial statements by using Management Reporter, see Management Reporter for Microsoft Dynamics ERP.

This form is available only when the Financial statement (traditional) configuration key is selected.
