Structure
Tasks in the Business Information Warehouse
The regular reports provide information for cost center managers.
These reports serve as an overview; unusual variances are highlighted. If the cost center manager notices unusual figures in the report, he can request an analysis from a cost management specialist. The specialist can then use the analysis reports in the Cost Center Accounting role to investigate the cause.
The reports answer questions such as the following:
Which cost centers experienced cost overruns or underruns?
What costs were incurred on the cost centers? What are the variances?
The individual tasks:
Reports on measures assigned to the cost centers (account assignment objects, internal orders, WBS elements)
Cost center reports (statistical key figures; planned costs and quantities, actual costs and quantities, target costs and quantities; prices).
