(EEUR) Set up data types for requisites

You can use the data type directory to store and manage a list of all possible data types for requisites that might appear in the electronic reporting templates. Data from this directory is used to verify report data.

Every data type includes the following parameters:

Type Name	Description	Processing Rules
string	Line	Any lines are valid.
boolean	Boolean	Valid values: {true, false, 1, 0}.
decimal	Decimal	Integers and fractions are valid.
integer	Integer	Only integers are valid.
long	Integer	Value range [-9223372036854775807; 9223372036854775808].
int	Integer	Value range [-2147483648; 2147483647].
short	Integer	Value range [-32768; 32767].
byte	Integer	Value range [-128; 127].
nonPositiveInteger	Integer	Value must be less than or equal to zero.
nonNegativeInteger	Integer	Value must be greater than or equal to zero.
unsignedLong	Integer	Value range [0; 18446744073709551615].
positiveInteger	Integer	Value must be greater than zero.
unsignedInt	Integer	Value range [0; 4294967295].

time	Time	Must be in the following format: hh:mm:ss.sss, where: hh – hours, two characters mm – minutes, two characters ss – seconds, two characters sss – milliseconds, three characters Example: 13:20:21.233.

Click General ledger> Setup> Financial reports generator> Data typesto open the Extended data typesform.
Press CTRL+N to create a new line.
In the Extended data typefield, enter a unique identification for the data type.
In the Descriptionfield, enter the description for the data type.
In the Base typefield, select the base data type to be used in the XSD schema.

Note

The XSD schema is the requisite used in XML formats for the element.
Click the Generaltab.
Select the Automatic creationcheck box to create the requisite automatically.

Note

If this check box is not selected, the requisite is created manually.
In the Minimum lengthfield, enter the minimum value length of the requisite if the Base typeis String.
In the Maximum lengthfield, enter the maximum value length of the requisite if the Base typeis String.
In the String lengthfield, enter the string length of the requisite.
In the Number of digitsfield, enter the number of digits in a number if the Base typeis a number.
In the Number of decimalsfield, enter the number of decimals in a number if the Base typeis a number
In the Min exclusivefield, enter the minimum value of the requisite if the Base typeis integer.
In the Max exclusivefield, enter the maximum value of the requisite if the Base typeis integer.

Note

For example, if the maximum value is 10, the valid value will be less than 10.
In the Min inclusivefield, enter the minimum value of the requisite if the Base typeis integer.
In the Max inclusivefield, enter the maximum value of the requisite if the Base typeis integer.

Note

For example, if the maximum value is 10, the valid value will be less than or equal to 10.
Click the Templatestab, and then press CTRL+N to create a new line.
In the Templatefield, enter the templates that define the valid sequence of characters and numbers in a value.
Click the Valuestab, and then press CTRL+N to create a new line.
In the Valuefield, enter a value for the selected base type.

Note
The XSD schema is the requisite used in XML formats for the element.

Note
If this check box is not selected, the requisite is created manually.

Note
For example, if the maximum value is 10, the valid value will be less than 10.

Note
For example, if the maximum value is 10, the valid value will be less than or equal to 10.

Note
Data types in a directory are created automatically when you refresh the structure in the Document Templatesform or when you transfer settings from one template to another. If necessary, you can also create a data type manually using the standard method.
