CFC FORM 7 USER GUIDE
Overview
V36 CFC Form 7 is designed to allow the users to help create a spread sheet that will import to
Form 7 provided by CFC.
Setup
This feature is not controlled by parameters.
Security is enabled by new options in Class Maintenance.
The user must have access to the Consumer Accounting System to calculate some of the
information.
CFC RUS – Data entry example
The CFC RUS menu option allows the user to enter accounts/Item IDs into the system. The user must
supply much of the data. Some parts are already set up for the user, and other parts do not require user
input, are calculated, or do not appear on CFC Form 7.
Use the following steps to enter data into a generic field. A description of each part follows this
explanation.

column may be double-clicked to add relevant data.
Users cannot modify lines that are marked Balance Sheet, Calculated, Header,
Income Statement, or Totals.

will likely require different Account and Item IDs.

result of the user’s input on this line will be found on Line 98 (Headquarters Plant) in
the exported spread sheet.

CFC Form 7 Parts
CFC Form 7 is divided into alphabetical sections known as Parts. The process for entering information
into each part is similar. There are six input line types: Header, Income Statement, Balance Sheet,

directly modified by the user. Output lines indicate placement on the CFC exported spread sheet.
