Why use Global Analysis?

The SunSystems global analysis facility allows you to analyze many types of data in different ways to meet your unique inquiry and reporting requirements. This facility is used globally across all SunSystems modules.

You can analyze selected types of static data, for example ledger accounts, assets, warehouses, or employees. You can also analyze the different types of transaction, for example, ledger transactions, sales and purchase invoices, sales and purchase orders.

There are a large number of uses for the analysis capabilities within Financials and Order Fulfilment. For example:

• It may be necessary to allocate all expense transactions for a ledger to a cost centre. This enables you to produce monthly expense reports by cost centre.
• Project costing is often a requirement. You can analyze costs, such as employee and material expenses, to project codes.
• Sales transactions could be analyzed by product type to provide detailed product sales analysis.
• If you have a sales force, you can use analysis to record the person who made each sale. Commissions can be calculated based on this analysis.
