Basic Idea & Functionality With the project cost reporting, you can analyse project-centric budgets, planned costs or actual costs. The analysis can be defined based on various criteria such as: fiscal year fiscal period accounting object (WBS element or network activity) value type cost element CO version After the report criteria have been set, the user is able to apply individual filter (e.g. special periods or cost elements). In addition to that, the customer and the individual user can define KPI that are calculated based on the retrieved cost data. The KPIs can be defined by a build-in formula editor. Once a report has been defined by the user, it can be saved as a quick selection for next evaluations. 4
