Cashflow statement comparison
You access this report from the Cashflow statement by selecting .
See Cashflow statement.
The Cashflow statement comparison compares the Actual figures of the cashflow accounts for the two periods selected in the Finance Dashboard.
See Finance Dashboard.
By default, these are the previous month and the month prior to it. To select different periods to compare, or to view Budget figures click in the table heading to display the Time Settings.
See Time Settings dialog.
The variance between the values for the compared periods is displayed as an absolute value, as a percentage and as a bar chart. The percentage variation represents the shortfall of the actual results against budget. For example, if the budget is 100 and the actual is 80, the percentage variation is -20%.
Analysis dimensions are used both to filter the list of codes displayed and to analyze individual codes in that list. For example, if you have analysis dimensions that represent business units or cost centers, you might display only codes which relate to a particular business unit or cost center and then analyze individual codes by business unit, or by cost center.
If you click an account, you are prompted to select the dimension by which to analyze it. Either the Analysis Dimensions Comparison report or the Analysis Dimensions Trend report is displayed, depending on whether you are in one of the Finance comparison reports, or one of the Finance trend reports.
To filter the list of codes, click and select up to ten dimensions. By default, the default element of each dimension is selected. Typically, the default element is the "All" element. To filter the list of codes as required, select elements from each dimension.
