Reviewing temporary difference rollforward activity
Once regional temporary difference rollforward activity has been updated in the Temporary Differences input app (SA0301/SG0301), you can review the related reports.
Understanding Elements for temporary differences
The elements that display in the Temporary Differences input app (RA0301) change depending on the method you are using.
Method | Elements that display in the input app… |
---|---|
Temporary Difference method | Deferred Tax Proof elements Temporary Differences elements |
Temporary Difference method with scheduling | Deferred Tax Proof elements Temporary Differences elements Scheduling elements |
Balance Sheet method | Temporary Differences - Balance Sheet Method elements |
Balance Sheet method with scheduling | Temporary Differences - Balance Sheet Method elements Scheduling elements |
Deferred Tax Proof elements
If you are using the Temporary Difference method, you can use deferred tax proof analysis to view regional gross and deferred tax balances. This process allows you to define the accounting basis, the tax basis, and the portion that may be permanent in nature. The system then uses this information to calculate the ending regional cumulative temporary difference.
If you are using the Temporary Difference method, the following elements appear in the input app:
GrsTD_Accounting_Calc_ASC—Accounting Basis - Calc
This element represents the calculated ending accounting basis for a temporary difference or other carryforward account based on the deferred tax automation settings.GrsTD_Accounting_Adj_ASC—Accounting Basis - Adj
If you are automating the ending accounting basis, you can use this element to adjust the value in the calculated element. If you are not automating the accounting basis, use this element to input the ending accounting basis value.GrsTD_AccountingTotal_ASC—Accounting Total
This element represents the sum of GrsTD_Accounting_Calc_ASC and GrsTD_Accounting_Adj_ASC.GrsTD_Tax_Calc_ASC—STAT/Tax Basis - Calc
This element represents the calculated ending tax basis for a temporary difference or other carryforward account based on the deferred tax automation settings.GrsTD_Tax_Adj_ASC—STAT/Tax Basis - Adj
If you are automating the STAT/Tax Basis, you can use this element to adjust the value in the calculated element. If you are not automating the STAT/Tax Basis, use this element to input the ending STAT/Tax Basis value.GrsTD_TaxTotal_ASC—STAT/Tax Basis - Total
This element represents the sum of GrsTD_Tax_Calc_ASC and GrsTD_Tax_Adj_ASC.GrsTD_BasisDifference_ASC—Basis Difference
This element represents the value in element GrsTD_TaxTotal_ASC less the value in GrsTD_AccountingTotal_ASC.GrsTD_PermBasis_ASC—Permanent Component
Use this element to enter the portion of the difference between the ending tax basis and accounting basis that is permanent in nature.GrsTD_TemporaryDifference_ASC—Total Temporary Difference
This element represents the value in element GrsTD_BasisDifference_ASC less the value in the permanent portion element.
Temporary Differences elements
If you are using the Temporary Difference method, the following elements appear in the input app:
CURNONCUR—Current or Non-Current
This column identifies the temporary difference account as current or non-current.ISEQCAT—Income, Equity, or OCI
Specifies whether the account is classified as Income, Equity, or OCI.GrsBOY_ASC—Beginning of Year
This column represents the prior year end gross temporary differences. It is populated automatically through the annual and monthly rollover process.GrsPY_ASC—Consolidation Adj. - BOY Impact

This column represents the beginning of year balance after adjustments and is calculated (GrsBOY_ASC + GrsPY_ASC).GrsCY_ASC—Current Year
The current year Schedule M-1 difference is input in the Current Provision input app (RA0201) and automatically flows to the Temporary Differences input app (RA0301). Amounts for this column are input for any non-automated temporary differences or for adjustments to any automated temporary differences. You must enter values for this symbol manually.GrsPYAdjDFd_ASC—Prior Year Adjustments - Deferred Only Impact
Unlike GrsPY_ASC, this column impacts the deferred provision.

The tax impact of this amount is reflected in the symbol NetNPYAdjDfd_ASC in the Deferred Tax Rollforward report (NA0401). This tax impact is a deferred provision only adjustment and has no impact on the current provision. As a result, the tax impact of this adjustment is also reflected in the effective tax rate report and total provision report.GrsRTPDfd_ASC—RTP - Deferred Only Impact

Scheduling elements
For entities that use deferred tax scheduling, there is an additional step required in the gross temporary difference rollforward. You must schedule the end of period gross temporary difference balance based on when the temporary difference is expected to reverse.
You must use these elements for any entities that schedule to account for fluctuating deferred tax rates. The entire amount is defaulted to the fifth year. In the input app, you can allocate across the other years, which allows Tax Provision to calculate the proper end of period deferred tax balance.
The extra columns represent the future 5 years to schedule the timing of the temporary differences.
If you are using scheduling, the following elements appear in the input app:
GrsEOY1_ASC—Amt Reversing in Year 1
This column represents the amount reversing in the first year. You must enter values for this symbol manually.GrsEOY2_ASC—Amt Reversing in Year 2

This report shows the breakdown of the temporary differences into one of the following classifications:
- current asset
- current liability
- non-current asset
- non-current liability
The ending balance is considered an asset if:
- For all temporary differences except valuation allowances:
GrsEOY_ASC > 0 or GrsEOY_ASC = 0 and GrsBOYA_ASC > 0 or GrsEOY_ASC = 0, GrsBOYA_ASC = 0, and GrsBOY_ASC > 0
- For valuation allowance accounts, the sign is reversed:
GrsEOY_ASC < 0 or GrsEOY_ASC = 0 and GrsBOYA_ASC < 0 or GrsEOY_ASC = 0, GrsBOYA_ASC = 0, and GrsBOY_ASC < 0
Otherwise, the ending balance is considered a liability.
Note: For more information on reports, see "Working with reports".
