Query Views

To access and calculate key performance indicators, the app uses the following app-specific query views:

  • UserProfileParameterQuery

    • Retrieves master data for user profile parameters, such as controlling area (CAC) and cost element group (KAG)

  • ProfitabilityAnalysisQuery

    • Retrieves cost and revenue data

    • Calculates net margin and net profit

    • Calculates the difference between planned and executed amounts

Calculation Rules

To determine net margin and net profit information, the app applies the following calculation rule:

  • Calculation rule for net margin and net profit

    Based on a standard business calculation formula, this rule includes only the accounts assigned to the cost element hierarchy that the user defines. For more information, see the app-specific configuration requirements.

Constraints

The following constraints apply to certain types of data within the app:

  • Fiscal period is based on months only (instead of calendar week, for example).

  • Amounts are taken from the controlling area currency (instead of object currency, for example).

  • The app evaluates data from account-based profitability analysis only. Therefore, it does not retrieve any actual or planning data from cost-based profitability analysis.
