The report has the following row and column structure:
Report Rows:
In the report, a report row is displayed for each business process and a total is calculated for each business process group. You determine the row structure through the business process group.
The system shows the debits followed by the credits. The Over/Under Absorption row balances the debits and credits.
Report Columns:
The columns show the sums of actual and plan costs with their variances (absolute and percentage) per business process.
Report/Report Interface
You can go to the following reports through the
Report/Report-Interface :
You want to know which business process groups have the largest plan-actual variances. This information can point out whether a more detailed analysis is worth the effort.
To this end, enter a business process group in the selection. The system lists all subordinate process groups with their business processes. By using the sort function, you can sort the Var. (absol.) or Var. (%) column in ascending order: this provides a quick overview of which business process groups have the largest variance.
Assume that you want a "hit list" of your most expensive processes. To do this, display a list of all processes and sort them in descending order in the plan or actual column.
