Cost centre report
ETHIS > Finanzen > Berichte Finanzen
The cost centre report compares the basic budget and actual costs. It can be called up for a single cost centre or several cost centres that belong together (for example, all cost centres in a department). The report displays the annual budget and the actual values as of the date of the report call.
Features: Full-year view and cumulative period view by months, detailed cost breakdown by choice, exit to the line item report.
As a result, the system first displays an overview for each cost centre:
- Budget (basic budget for the calendar year)
- Actual (accrued actual costs for the calendar year up to the date of the report call)
- Variance as amount (budget minus actual) and as percentage (% unused budget on key date)
The button "Display" takes you to the detailed results:
Accumulated period view
- Budget: The annual budget of the cost centre is automatically converted to months (January = 1/12 budget, February = 2/12 budget etc.).
- Actual: The actual costs are accumulated by month.
- Variance: Monthly variance as amount and in % of budget.
