Report Cockpit
The Report Cockpit ribbon helps you to analyse your data. The analyses are based on Microsoft Reporting Services. The following options are available:


Monthly reporting
Monthly reporting offers several analyses that focus on the current plan year by default. Monthly reporting always displays a full year broken down into months. The available filters are “Plan”, “Company”, “Cost centre”, and “Period”. Additionally, you can display the values cumulatively.
Management Cockpit
The Management Cockpit provides a quick overview over the main benchmark figures.
You can use the buttons in the lower portion of this analysis to access additional analyses. By clicking on the “Return to main report” button (
), you can return to the previous analysis.
Additionally, you can jump to the corresponding detail by clicking directly in the analysis. The available options in the centre of the analysis are “Sales revenue”, “Cost of material and other production services”, “Personnel expenses”, and “Other operating expenses”.
You can also access an overview over the sales details and the materials expenses from the graphic in the upper left-hand corner. To do so, click on the corresponding bar in the graphic.
Other analyses
In addition to the Management Cockpit, you can use the following analyses in the “Monthly reporting” group:
- Profit and loss
- Financial budget – direct method
- Financial budget – indirect method
- Balance sheet
- Cost centres
- Expense distribution sheet
- Income statement
Structure of the evaluations
The structure of all the reports is identical and will be explained using the profit and loss statement as an example.
The line axis displays the period. By default, the current year is displayed and broken down into months.
| Hint Subsets of dimensions are used to represent the vertical axis. Only those items are shown in the report that also appear in the underlying subset. If you cannot see items that you require in the analysis, please consult your PowerUser and review the corresponding subset. |
The cost centre report differs from all the other reports in this group in that the horizontal axis shows the PC/CC dimension. The period is available as a filter.
Annual reporting
Annual reporting offers several analyses that focus by default on the current plan year and all subsequent years. Additionally, the first column always displays the last actual year. The number of plan years that are displayed depends on the definition of the individual plan. You can define this in the Scenario Manager. The available filters are “Plan”, “Company”, and “Cost centre”. Additionally, you can display the values cumulatively.
Management Cockpit
The Management Cockpit provides a quick overview over the main benchmark figures for all plan years.
Other analyses
In addition to the Management Cockpit, you can use the following analyses in the “Annual reporting” group:
- Profit and loss
- Financial budget – indirect method
- Balance sheet
Structure of the evaluations
The structure of all the reports is identical and will be explained using the profit and loss statement as an example. The line axis displays the period. By default, these reports begin with the last actual year followed by the plan years. The number of plan years that are displayed depends on the definition of the individual plan. You can define this in the Scenario Manager.
| Hint Subsets of dimensions are used to represent the vertical axis. Only those items are shown in the report that also appear in the underlying subset. If you cannot see items that you require in the analysis, please consult your PowerUser and review the corresponding subset. |
Detailed analysis
Detailed analysis offers several analyses that focus by default on the current plan year and all subsequent years. Additionally, the current actual value and the forecast until the end of the year are also displayed here. The values are shown for the selected month and cumulatively for the period preceding the selected month. The available filters are “Plan”, “Company”, and “Cost centre”.
Management Cockpit
The Management Cockpit provides a quick overview over the main benchmark figures.
You can use the buttons in the right-hand portion of this analysis to access additional analyses. By clicking on the “Return to main report” button (
), you can return to the previous analysis.
Other analyses
In addition to the Management Cockpit, you can use the following analyses in the “Detailed analysis” group:
- Profit and loss
- Financial budget – indirect method
- Balance sheet
- Hit list
- Financial budget charts
- Cost structure charts
- Income structure charts
Structure of the analyses
Profit and loss statement, financial budget – indirect method, balance sheet
The structure of the profit and loss statement, the indirect financial budget, and the balance sheet is identical. The profit and loss statement will be explained here as an example.
The line axis displays the period. The first block displays the current month. The second block supplies the cumulative values for the period preceding the current month, while the third block displays the forecast up to the end of the current year. Additionally, each block calculates the variance in absolute terms and as a percentage value and is graphically visualised by means of arrow symbols.
| Hint Subsets of dimensions are used to represent the vertical axis. Only those items are shown in the report that also appear in the underlying subset. If you cannot see items that you require in the analysis, please consult your PowerUser and review the corresponding subset. |
The hit list
The hit list visualises individual products in descending order according to actual sales. Additionally, the corresponding plan value is displayed.
You can view product details by clicking on the chart for that product.
By clicking on the “Return to main report” button, you can return to the previous analysis.
The charts
A few example charts are shown here. In addition to the financial plan chart, you will also find a cost centre structure chart and an income structure chart.
Comparison reports
The comparison reports contain several analyses that display the current month as a single period and a cumulative value. Additionally, the variance is displayed in absolute terms and as a percentage value. The variance is visualised by colour-coded arrows. The available filters are “Plan”, “Company”, and “Cost centre”.
Other analyses
The “Comparison reports” group contains the following analyses:
- Profit and loss
- Financial budget – indirect method
- Balance sheet
- Expense distribution sheet
- Income statement
Structure of the evaluations
The structure of all the reports is identical and will be explained using the profit and loss statement as an example. The line axis displays the period. The current month is displayed in the first block, while the second block shows the cumulative values in the period prior to the current month. Additionally, each block calculates the variance in absolute terms and as a percentage value and is graphically visualised by means of arrow symbols.
| Hint Subsets of dimensions are used to represent the vertical axis. Only those items are shown in the report that also appear in the underlying subset. If you cannot see items that you require in the analysis, please consult your PowerUser and review the corresponding subset. |
