Web Cockpit: My Projects - Plan/Actual

Contents

The cost center manager uses this Web Cockpit for a quick overview of the current costs on his or her overhead cost projects.

This Web Cockpit contains three reports for the cost center manager that provide information on the current plan-actual situation of the projects. If personalization is active, the reports are filtered automatically by the cost centers for which the manager is responsible (provided these were specified in the personalization settings).

See also: WEB: Personalization.

The initial screen shows a plan/actual report with a graphic. It shows the actual costs and planned costs of the last period, and the variances.

When the report is initially executed, it displays cumulative data for your cost centers. You can restrict the report to an individual cost center by selecting the cost center from the selection list in the report header. Selecting a filter value in this way is only possible in the initial report.

This Web Cockpit can be used as a central self-service point, either alone or in conjunction with our other Web Cockpits in CO. Reports can be sent to thousands of addressees on this new distribution path. The expense and trouble of distributing reports as hard copies is no longer necessary. This lowers costs and enables current information to be accessed more quickly.

Managers can access the reports through a standard web browser – no special software is needed.

Navigation

Information on navigating in the reports can be found under Navigation and Navigation Functions.

Enhancing or Modifying the BW Web Cockpit My Projects – Plan/Actual

The Cockpit can be enhanced by adding your own queries (such as for a graphic).

Note

The selection of report objects through assigned cost centers does not necessarily reflect the actual account assignment information of the posted costs. Consequently, variances between the cost element report and the supplementary reports are unavoidable.

Create your own query. (For example, copy an existing query that meets your requirements.)

Modify this query and add the cost center to the user-defined characteristics (if it does not already exist).

For the cost center, choose a suitable variable that reads the personalization for the info object 0COSTCENTER (see also Personalization).

Save the query as a workbook, and save one or more suitable views for the query.

Generate HTML items for these views in the Web Publisher (table, chart, filter, ...).

Open the workbook My Projects: Plan/Actual – Current and YTD for example (GUID ETHRL3MA9BKSKN6LV2CMBCMKP) and check out an existing HTML template (actual, YTD, Q4 or totperiod).

Replace the HTML items in the template with the HTML items of the new query, and delete the superfluous HTML items.

Caution

Do not make any changes to the structure of the template, and do not delete any <input type="hidden"...> parameters, since these are necessary for navigation.

Furthermore, do not change the name of the template because that would make it impossible to navigate to detailed reports.

If you want to replace an HTML ITEM of the type table with your own, but still want to be able to navigate to a detailed report, make sure that the line

is in your HTML ITEM. The class specified under value can be edited with transaction SE24 of the BW system.

Important methods in this context are CHARACTERISTIC_CELL (for jumping to a detailed report) and CAPTION_CELL (for changing column headers).

Check in the changed template for the workbook.
