It is an application independent import/export format for the data contained in ERP systems. It is account independent and report independent, but can track multi-GAAP entries and provide the drill-down and drill-aroundpower for different reports.

Cross walks– Summarizing by account, transaction set or other aggregations to one or
multiple end reports, with reconciliation Data migration Archival
