The cost center manager uses this Web Cockpit to follow current cost center planning.

This Web Cockpit contains three reports on cost center planning for the cost center manager. 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).

The initial screen shows a cost element report with a graphic. This report contains the actual and planned costs of the previous year, the variances, and the planned costs of the current year plus any changes in plan.

The report first 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.

From the navigation bar at the top of the report, you can navigate to detailed reports on the planning for activity types and statistical key figures. The filter for cost centers is taken from 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.

The Web Cockpit contains the following queries:

This cockpit can be enhanced by adding your own planning queries (such as for personnel cost planning).
