Exception Analysis
In contrast to the other standard analyses where the exceptions are displayed, in the case of the exception analysis, only data which applies to the exception is shown. The exception analysis acts like a filter whereby only the exceptional situations are shown. In this case the exceptional situations are also highlighted. All of the functions (ABC Analysis, Graphics, Classification, etc.) of the remaining standard analyses can of course also be used in the exception analysis.
Caution
Please note the following remarks about the settings:
Selection Area
The characteristic values, the number of periods (time period for the analysis) and the currency analysis, which you specified when you created/changed the exception or exception group, will appear as the default values for the selection area of the exception analysis. These selection criterion can of course be overwritten by you when you carry out the exception analysis.
Note that if the default value is overwritten during the exception analysis it will probably lead to incorrect interpretations. For example, if the exceptional situation that is defined in the exception is based on data for the number of periods that has been determined here. Thus, an analysis with a threshold value of 10,000 and 2 periods will have other results than if the number of periods used was 5.
Standard Drill-Down
The settings for the standard drill-down are also copied from the exception. The sequence of the standard drill-down and the characteristics according to which you drill-down correspond to the characteristics and their sequence from the exception. The key figures are displayed which were indicated in the requirements of the exception.
