Performing an Exception Analysis

To carry out an exception analysis, proceed as follows:

  1. From the information system menu, select Start of the navigation path Standard analysis Next navigation step Exception analysis. End of the navigation path

  2. In the field Exception, specify the name of the exception.

  3. You can copy the parameters (number of periods, currency analysis) that you specified when creating/changing the exception or exception group as selection criterion or you can individually maintain the selection area.

  • If you want to copy the default values from the exception for the selection area, do not select the field Maintain selection area but select Start of the navigation path Exception analysis Next navigation step Execute. End of the navigation path

    A list of data will appear that will apply to the exception. The exceptional situations are highlighted.

  • If you want to maintain the selection area, select the field Manual selection and select Start of the navigation path Exception analysis Next navigation step Execute. End of the navigation path

    A selection screen will appear. The characteristics of the information structure will appear as selection parameters that are based on the specified exception. Maintain the selection criterion and select the key Execute.

    A list of data will appear that applies to the exception. The exceptional situations are highlighted.

Caution Caution

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.

End of the caution.
