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.
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.
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.
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.
A report in an unfamiliar layout gets questioned instead of read. Every question costs time — and trust in the numbers behind it.
In many home-grown reports a new account without a mapping simply drops out. The total no longer matches — and nobody notices.
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.
A reporting tool alongside needs an interface, reconciliation and somebody who knows both sides. That is a lot of machinery for a monthly report.
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.
January through August as individual columns — the trend is visible without laying eight reports side by side.
The year-to-date figure right beside the months, in the same row. No drill-down, no second run.
SKR04 by default, plus SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP — switched by a setting, not by a code release.
All entities together or one at a time — switchable directly in the interface.
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.
No data export, no intermediate store: the report reads your ledger directly.
On deploy the plug-in assigns every P&L account to its BWA group automatically, matching the configured chart of accounts.
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.
Set period, subsidiary and chart of accounts, open the report, download Excel or PDF. After that, the month takes minutes.
Individual months and the year-to-date side by side, all on one page.
SKR04, SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP — switchable by parameter, no new deployment.
As many configurations as you like in the file cabinet, created from the interface.
All entities or a single one, switched inside the report.
One click, file name with year and month — keep calculating without rework.
The same report as a PDF, the way it goes to the bank or the board.
All P&L accounts mapped on first deploy, by account number and DATEV standard ranges.
A table-style interface for client-specific accounts — adjusted in seconds.
Nothing disappears quietly: amounts without a group are shown in their own row.
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.
Native SuiteScript inside the account — the report reads the ledger directly, with no external tool.
SuiteBundle 599481 — installation and updates through NetSuite’s bundle mechanism.
SKR04, SKR03, IFRS, US-GAAP — configurable per deployment.
Custom layouts stored as files in the file cabinet, created from a dedicated Suitelet.
Excel and PDF, file name including year and month.
Everything stays in the account — no external service, no copy.
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.
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.
SKR04 by default, plus SKR03, IFRS and US-GAAP. Switching is done through a deployment parameter — no new code release required.
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.
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.
Yes — all subsidiaries together or a single one, switchable directly in the interface.
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.
We produce the report for a month of your choice — and you put it next to the one that comes out of Excel or from your tax firm today.
