Organizations have measurable goals that are tied to the organization strategy. Management needs to be able to quickly ascertain how organization performance compares to these set goals. KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are visual measures of performance that enable a manager to see at a glance how the organization is performing. Examples of KPIs include Net Profit Margin, DSO (Days Sales Outstanding), and DPO (Days Purchases Outstanding).

Using existing report definition elements in Financial Report Writer, you can define, calculate, and display KPIs as graphs and charts, helping you to see at a glance how the organization is performing. You can also drill into KPIs and display charts and graphs to a more granular level. You can also view the KPIs that you set up in the Web UI Action Center. The Action Center enables a CFO to view all important KPIs on one screen and to display the KPIs in more detail.
