6.3.2.4 Credit Area Analysis Report


The Credit Area Analysis Report summarizes the amounts
credited during the accounting period by individual credit
category.  This report allows data center management to
determine which resources are being credited, where
processing inefficiencies exist, and the resulting revenue
loss due to those inefficiencies.  A year-to-date version of
this report is also available.  Figure 6-10 shows a sample
Credit Area Analysis Report.

The heading contains the installation name, the report name
(for example, Credit Area Analysis), and the accounting
period (for example, September, 2002).

The body of the report lists the credit category number and
description, the number of credits in this category during
the accounting period, the amount credited in this category,
and the percentage of the total credits caused by this
category.


REPORT OPTION

The available option for this report is:

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 if 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.
