Financial Report Analysis
The Report Tree Drill Down functionality enables you to investigate totals and balances in a financial report. You can view any report tree and drill down to transaction level in the hierarchy. This facility makes Report Tree Drill Down a powerful analysis tool.
Example: A company financial officer runs a financial report, including a budget column for comparing actual postings with budgets. The financial officer notices a high figure for travel expenses and decides to analyze further. The officer opens Report Tree Drill Down and selects the relevant financial report view, which displays the tree in the same format as it is displayed in the report itself. The financial report officer drills down into the tree nodes, navigates to the problematic costs, groups the data to identify the source transaction, and locates the transaction in the source GL browse.
