Executive Summary
Dashboard revenue and ledger revenue reconcile for H1 once credit notes, manual journals, cutoff timing, and intercompany eliminations are classified. Zero unexplained residual is the acceptance criterion, not a lucky outcome.
Monthly Bridge
Credit notes originate in the AR subledger and net against ledger revenue. Manual journals are entries posted directly in the general journal without a subledger origin. Cutoff and timing covers subledger activity posted in one period and transferred to the ledger in the next. Intercompany lines are identified through the Intercompany dimension and eliminated in the group view. Sign convention: bridge amounts are added to the dashboard figure, so negative items reduce ledger revenue relative to the dashboard.

Definitions Compared
| Measure | Includes | Excludes | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashboard revenue | Commercial revenue view, operating segmentation, H1 management timing | Formal eliminations and ledger-only cutoff entries | Performance steering |
| Ledger revenue | Posted revenue on the revenue account range and group-account presentation | Management-only run-rate presentation | Financial control |
| MainAccount basis | Detailed account-level posting view | Higher-level reporting rollups | Close investigation |
| GroupAccount basis | Group reporting rollup aligned to the finance performance review | Posting-level detail | Board and management reporting |
| Currency translation | Not applicable in this fictional group because all entities post in EUR | Foreign-currency remeasurement bridge lines | Prevents a false bridge category |
Closing Note
Both figures are correct answers to different questions. The deliverable is one agreed headline definition plus a permanent reconciliation page that keeps those answers from drifting apart.
Data Basis
| Item | Applied basis |
|---|---|
| Report period | H1 2026 (January–June). |
| Snapshot and generation | Snapshot 30 June 2026; report generated 7 July 2026. |
| Scope | Consolidated management-to-ledger revenue bridge for MB-NL1 and MB-BE1 with a rollup for other entities. Fictional trading and services group operating in NL/BE/LU. |
| Currency and posting layer | EUR only; accounting currency equals reporting currency, so no currency-translation bridge line exists. Current posting layer only. |
| Business domains used | Dashboard revenue measure, posted ledger revenue, AR credit notes, general journals, period cutoff, and intercompany eliminations. |
| Definitions applied | Dashboard revenue follows the management definition used in the Finance Performance Review. Ledger revenue is posted revenue after classified bridge items. Pending review means the bridge foots but one supporting-document check is not yet signed off. Bridge amounts are added to the dashboard figure. |
| Dimension usage | Slicing follows the dimension reliability tiers from the Financial Structure Deep Dive: core and strong operational dimensions only; the legacy Klant dimension, Employee, and Vehicle are excluded. |
| Aggregation and privacy | Aggregate view only. No names, account numbers, voucher or document identifiers, or contact details are displayed; traceability is to controlled local evidence. |
| Rounding | EUR rounded for reporting; every table foots to its headline KPI or carries an explicit basis note. |
| Control statement | Generated on 7 July 2026 from fictional aggregated demo data. Read-only reporting view; no personal data, contact details, transaction identifiers, or real client references are displayed. |
