Scenario Comparison
Use
The ability to compare figures in different scenarios is central to the task of planning for future personnel costs. Personnel Cost Planning handles comparisons in two ways. You can work with:
A single scenario
Two scenarios
Single Scenario
When you work with a single scenario, the window display shows two sets of figures – adjusted and original.
The system shows figures from the original scenario calculation under the heading
Reference value
, on the far right. One column to the left, the system dynamically adjusts the figures, as you make changes. That is, every time you change the figures, the system re-calculates the scenario for you.
In this way, you can compare the original scenario figures with adjusted figures. You can also save the adjusted figures as a new scenario, if you wish to keep them.
Two Scenarios
You can retrieve two scenarios at the same time. Both sets of figures are shown side-by-side in the window, allowing you to make a visual comparison. You can, for example, select one scenario with payroll results, and another that includes a salary survey . Alternatively, you can select one scenario with actual results, and another that shows target (projected) costs.
The system shows figures from the second scenario in the
Reference value
column. Figures shown in this column can be expressed as absolute figures (normal numbers), or as percentage figures by selecting a style. The percentage reflects the difference between the two scenarios.
Features
Personnel Cost Planning can also present scenarios in bar graphs, using SAP Business Graphics. Graphics is particularly helpful in identifying costing trends. This feature is available when you work with one or two scenarios.
