6.4.1 Application IS Expense Analysis

Application IS Expense Analysis information provides an
understanding of the distribution of IS expenses by business
application.  It allows management to understand how the IS
expenses for each application have changed over the last
year, to pinpoint why those changes have taken place, and to
project budget overruns for the next several months of the
current year.

At the summary level, it focuses on monthly charges for the
top ten business applications, for the current and prior year
at the selected cost center level.  You can select an
application and compare actual and projected charges to
budgeted charges.  You can also compare charges by month, by
department, and by invoice category.

Refer to the online help for Enterprise IS Financial
Reporting on the workstation for more information.

NOTE:  Zero balance adjustment amounts are not used by this
       application.
