TF_Import.xlsx
General Information
The TF_Import.xslx file is mandatory for every analysis run and allows various settings. These are general configurations or analysis specific.
The Excel file can be found in the customer area on our website in the archive dabAnalyticSuite_StartScript_2_2_XX.zip.
After downloading and extracting, the file can be used for configuration. Various worksheets are available for this purpose:
Worksheets
Critical_Countries
The first worksheet is used to define the critical countries.
The table contains three columns:
- the first column shows the country key. This is the short form of each country.
- the second column, named Country, contains the full form of each country.
- the third and final column gives the reason why this country was placed on the list of critical countries in our standard definition.
We consider any country with a CPI (Corruption Perception Index) below 50. For a list of all countries and their CPI, see the CPI_allCountries worksheet or the Transparency homepage.
The second reason to flag a country as critical is tax haven countries. Our source for the definition of tax haven countries is the following website: Tax havens.
The list should be adapted to your own requirements, if analyses are used that refer to critical countries. Otherwise, the standard definition is used.
CPI_allCountries
This worksheet contains a list of all existing countries and their CPI (Corruption Perception Index).
If countries are removed from this list, this will not affect the analyses. This table is for informational purposes only, so that an informed decision can be made as to whether or not a country should be considered critical.
Critical_Text
In the worksheet Critical_Text all keywords for the search for critical texts are stored.
The Searchtext column is used to store keywords for which the GL_Critical_Texts analysis is to search in the posting texts of the general ledger.
This default definition can be edited by deleting and adding new search words.
In addition, the keywords can be categorized via the Area column in order to filter and visualize the hits more easily in the result.
To avoid unwanted hits, search words can be disarmed via the Whitelist column by listing in which contexts the word may occur.
Exclude GL Accounts
In addition, certain accounts can be excluded for the search for critical posting documents via the keyword search. To do this, store the account number and the account sheet in this table.
CC_PaymPostings
Payment postings are not included in the analysis by critical posting documents via the keyword search to avoid the same text being listed in both the invoice and the payment. If payment postings for specific company codes are to be considered, these company codes can be listed in the sheet CC_PaymPostings.
GL_Comission_Accounts
In order for the evaluation of the commission postings to take place, the accounts concerned, together with the chart of accounts, must be stored here.
PaymentTerms_WhiteList
WhiteList means that these entries are automatically excluded from the result. PaymentTerms_WhiteList is only relevant for CU_PaymTerms.
IncoTerms_WhiteList
WhiteList means that these entries are automatically excluded from the result. For example, IncoTerms_WhiteList is only relevant for all CU_Incoterms and VE_Incoterms.
AU_Critical_Profiles
List of profiles or roles to be considered for generating the result of the AU_Critical_Profiles analysis.
AP_TaxCodeCheck
Here the parameters for the analysis AP_TaxCodeCheck must be configured:
Parameter | Description |
System | contains the system from which the data to be checked was taken -> e.g. PR1 |
Client | contains the client of the SAP system -> e.g. 100 |
No | contains a unique number for the defined rule that is to be used for checking the control indicator |
Description | describes the rule in words and is displayed in the result. If more than 3 rules apply to a document, only the unique number is displayed in the result. |
TaxCode (MWSKZ) | contains the tax code(s) to be checked. These must be entered in quotation marks -> e.g. "DT" or "DU" |
TaxCode (T/F) | defines, wheter these tax codes are allowed T to be used with the defined rule or are they not allowed F. |
CheckCondition | check condition to be applied. Important: Condition must be written in ACL syntax and only fields available in the AP base table can be used. |
KPIWiz
The KPIWiz worksheet offers the possibility to summarize analysis results according to certain criteria. This generates additional result tables with KPIs. An explanation of this result can be found here:
The configuration can be done as in the following:
Column Name | Description of the Column | Editable Column? |
Analytics | Name of the analysis for which a KPI result is to be created | No |
Criteria | Different summarization criteria are possible (can be combined): CC = Company code VE = Vendor CU = Customer | No |
Amount Field Analytic | This column shows which numeric field is being totaled | No |
Filter Analytic | This column shows, for which filter criterion in the analytic the summarization is being made | No |
Filter Base Table | This column shows, for which filter criterion in the BaseTable in the summarization is being made | No |
Title Base Table | This column shows you the name of the corresponding BaseTable | No |
Select | Here you can select, whether you want to create KPI table for that analytic or not. Set an X to select the KPI | Yes |

Storing .xlsx file
To use the TF_Import.xlsx correctly, you have to put the file in the correct place.
This place is:
- for ACL AN Desktop: In the folder where the Analytic_Suite start Script is stored
- for ACL AX: It has to be stored in the related files of your AnalyticSuite Collection:
- for Robotics: under Input/Output the "TF_Import" file is stored and saved
