Plug-in · Management report

The German management report your bank already knows.

NetSuite's income statement gives you the numbers, not the shape that management, banks and tax advisors expect. The Fourangle Management Report produces the German BWA — the Kurzfristige Erfolgsrechnung — in the familiar DATEV Form 1: total output, gross profit, operating result, preliminary result, monthly columns and the cumulative year-to-date side by side.

DATEV Form 1 SKR04 · SKR03 · IFRS · US-GAAP Monthly and year-to-date Excel and PDF
BWA Form 1 · 08/2026 · cumulative January–August · SKR04
Total output revenue, change in inventory, own work capitalised 1,482,300
Gross profit after cost of materials and goods 1,046,918
Operating result after personnel, premises and other costs 212,480
Preliminary result after interest and non-operating income and expense 198,640
Not mapped accounts without a BWA group — visible in their own row 0.00
THE TOTAL HOLDS The rows add up to the NetSuite income statement. Anything without a group sits in its own row — instead of quietly disappearing.
Why

The numbers are there. The shape is missing.

In Germany, a report is presented in a particular shape. Banks, boards and tax advisors have read the same lines in the same order for years — and that order is exactly what a US-centric NetSuite setup does not know.

An income statement is not a BWA

The accounts are right, the structure is not. Total output, gross profit and operating result only exist through the mapping — and NetSuite does not do that mapping.

An Excel pivot every month

Export, pivot, sort rows, check totals. How it is built is documented nowhere except in a file on a drive — and in one person's head.

The bank asks in its own language

A report in an unfamiliar layout gets questioned instead of read. Every question costs time — and trust in the numbers behind it.

Amounts vanish quietly

In many home-grown reports a new account without a mapping simply drops out. The total no longer matches — and nobody notices.

The chart of accounts changes

SKR04 for the German entity, IFRS or US-GAAP for the group: build a separate tool per view and you end up maintaining three truths.

An external tool means a second data set

A reporting tool alongside needs an interface, reconciliation and somebody who knows both sides. That is a lot of machinery for a monthly report.

Our answer

The mapping is in place before you first look at it.

On installation every P&L account is assigned to a BWA group automatically — based on the account number and the DATEV standard ranges of the selected chart of accounts. Anything numbered unconventionally you adjust in the mapper in seconds.

Mapping · P&L accounts onto BWA groups · chart SKR04
Auto-mapping On first deploy: every account number onto its group, by DATEV standard ranges automatic
Manual mapper A table of all P&L accounts with a drop-down — for client-specific accounts and special cases Suitelet
Custom layouts As many configurations as you like, stored in the file cabinet, per entity or per recipient per client
“Not mapped” row Everything without a group is shown — the proof that nothing is missing control
IN YOUR HANDS Chart of accounts and mappings are settings, not programming — changed by your accounting team, without us.
The report

Month and year on one page.

Monthly columns up to the selected month

January through August as individual columns — the trend is visible without laying eight reports side by side.

Cumulative year-to-date next to it

The year-to-date figure right beside the months, in the same row. No drill-down, no second run.

Four charts of accounts

SKR04 by default, plus SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP — switched by a setting, not by a code release.

Multi-subsidiary

All entities together or one at a time — switchable directly in the interface.

Excel and PDF

One click each, file name including year and month. The PDF goes to the bank as it is, the Excel file to whoever wants to keep calculating.

Runs on the postings

No data export, no intermediate store: the report reads your ledger directly.

How it runs

Three steps to the first report.

1

Install the bundle

On deploy the plug-in assigns every P&L account to its BWA group automatically, matching the configured chart of accounts.

2

Handle the special cases

Client-specific accounts get their group in the mapper. Whatever stays open appears in the “not mapped” row — so you can see what is still missing.

3

Pick a month and export

Set period, subsidiary and chart of accounts, open the report, download Excel or PDF. After that, the month takes minutes.

The honest test: take the last BWA from your tax firm and run the same month here. If total output, gross profit and operating result match, the mapping is right — and the detour is no longer needed.
Feature set

What the report also does.

Monthly and cumulative view

Individual months and the year-to-date side by side, all on one page.

Four charts of accounts

SKR04, SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP — switchable by parameter, no new deployment.

Custom layouts per client

As many configurations as you like in the file cabinet, created from the interface.

Multi-subsidiary

All entities or a single one, switched inside the report.

Excel export

One click, file name with year and month — keep calculating without rework.

PDF export

The same report as a PDF, the way it goes to the bank or the board.

Auto-mapping

All P&L accounts mapped on first deploy, by account number and DATEV standard ranges.

Manual mapper

A table-style interface for client-specific accounts — adjusted in seconds.

“Not mapped” row

Nothing disappears quietly: amounts without a group are shown in their own row.

Who it's for

For everyone who owes a German report.

The report is made for CFOs, controllers, tax advisors and accountants in companies that book in NetSuite but owe a BWA to their bank, board or advisor — particularly international groups with a US-centric setup whose German subsidiary has to report monthly in DATEV format.

FAQ

Frequent questions

Why is the plug-in now called “Fourangle Management Report”?

Because that is the name it runs under with us and with clients. Function and scope are unchanged — it is the same German management P&L in DATEV Form 1.

Does the report match the NetSuite income statement?

Yes, and you can verify it: amounts from accounts without a BWA group do not disappear, they appear in their own row. The sum of the rows therefore always equals the P&L.

Which charts of accounts are supported?

SKR04 by default, plus SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP. Switching is done through a deployment parameter — no new code release required.

Can we adapt the layout to our house style?

Yes. You create as many configurations as you like, stored as files in the file cabinet — per entity or per recipient, without changing the plug-in.

What happens to newly created accounts?

They show up in the “not mapped” row until a group is assigned in the mapper. A missing mapping is therefore obvious instead of quietly distorting the report.

Can we report on several entities?

Yes — all subsidiaries together or a single one, switchable directly in the interface.

How does the report reach the bank?

As a PDF with one click, file name including year and month. Whoever wants to keep calculating gets the same report as an Excel file.
