Finance Performance Window

Shows financial performance indicators based on account schedule values. This enables you to combine financial figures in multiple ways to analyze performance and see trends in different graphical views.

This window in the Role Center functions as a chart holder for as many financial performance indicators that you can generate from your account schedule values. You can select from a list of predefined finance charts by choosing Select Chart and then select from the list in the Account Schedule Chart List window. You can edit existing charts or create new ones by combining account schedule columns and rows in many ways and displayed with different chart types. For more information, see How to: Edit Advanced Charts.

The x-axis of the chart can be based on either account schedule columns, account schedule rows, or a period as defined by a date interval and period length. For more information, see Account Schedules Chart Setup.

The calculated account schedule values are displayed in LCY along the y-axis.

Tooltips provide information about the data source of each graphical element.

When you choose a graphical element, the source window, such as the Account Schedule window opens. From there, you can drill down to, for example, the ledger entries that resulted from the transactions that are represented by the graphical element in question.

Note

If the graphical element represents a summation of more than one data source, then the column formula is shown instead as no single window represents the data source.

The following table defines how you can display the calculated key financial figures in the chart by selecting among the options from the menus above the chart.
