 WBS Element Cost Variance

 

The analytical app displays the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) WBS Element Cost Variance. The cost variance is displayed when the total actual costs exceeds the total planned costs of a WBS element. You can also check the percentage of the total planned cost that is consumed by the WBS element.

Key Features

  • Enables you to drill-down to the specific details of a WBS element.

  • Displays the partial project hierarchy structure from the selected WBS element up to the project definition.

  • Enables you to view charts that display the deviation between the actual (including commitment costs) and planned costs.

    Note Note

    The planned and actual (including commitment) cost is determined as on the current date based on the CO version provided. For every fiscal year, only (01-12) periods are used for calculating the corresponding revenue until the current date.
