You can use the Cash Budget Management information system to evaluate the data available in your system according to different criteria. In this process, the evaluations access the following different types of data:

• Master data
• Totals records
• Individual documents

Master data indices show you the structure of your dataset.

The totals records generated from the individual documents are the data basis for reporting. Here we distinguish between drilldown reports for drilldown reporting and standard reports.

You can evaluate the dataset according to key figures and all the characteristics contained in the data description using drilldown reporting. Examples of characteristics include FM area, commitment item and fiscal year.

The following types of key figure are available:

• Ccommitment/actual
• Opening balance
• Closing balance
• Financial budget

Every key figure exists in both FM area currency and in transaction currency.

Individual evaluations work as a dialog-oriented info system on the basis of the SAP-EIS technology.

For questions which are frequently asked, such as plan/actual comparison, SAP already provides several standard reports. You analyze the information which exists at document level using the line item reports.
