6.3.2.1 Budgetary Analysis Report


The Budgetary Analysis Report summarizes the charges invoiced
to the cost centers within the accounting period, compared to
their specified budgets for the same period.  This report
lets you see which cost centers are over or under budget and
the amount of the discrepancy.  You can also run a
Year-to-Date Budgetary Analysis Report that lists
year-to-date amounts.

Figure 6-7 shows a sample of the Budgetary Analysis Report.
The report heading contains the data center name, the report
name (for example, Budgetary Analysis), and the accounting
period (for example, June 2005).

The body of the report lists the cost center's name (as
specified in the Cost Center Attributes File), (for example,
Acme Products Division), the Over Budget status (if
applicable), the budget amount for the accounting period, the
actual charges for the accounting period, and the variance
(budget amount minus charges).  Negative values of the
variance are shown in parentheses.

Because zero balanced amounts are not compared to budgets,
the "Net Charges" column amounts do not reflect any zero
balance adjustments.

The budget amounts and charges are totaled and the variance
and status for the total are calculated.


REPORT OPTIONS

The available options for this report are:

o Fuzz Value

  An OVER BUDGET message prints when the charges vary from
  the budgeted amount.  By specifying a Fuzz Value, some
  tolerance is allowed before the OVER BUDGET message is
  produced.  The default Fuzz Value is $1000, so that
  differences of less than $1000 between the charges and the
  budgeted amount are ignored.

o Cost Center Selection

 You can run this report for all billable customers (cost
 centers), all non-billable customers, or both.  The STATUS
 variable in the Financial Recap File (derived from Billing
 Status in the Cost Center Attributes File) indicates whether
 a cost center is billable.  Specifying a SYSPARM parameter
 of STATUS=BILL, STATUS=NOBILL, or STATUS=BOTH determines
 which cost centers appear on the report.  The default is
 BOTH.
