Consolidated Profit Planning Monitor

Use the Consolidated Profit Planning Monitor to monitor performance against budgets for any consolidation group. For each revenue and expense account, the report displays the budgeted and actual amounts for the current period and year to date. It also shows totals for actual and budgeted revenue and expense, and calculates actual and budgeted profit or loss.

Configuration Settings

You can only generate the cash-basis version of this report if the Enable Cash-Basis Reporting option is selected in Configuration.

The Organization Record Access setting for your role on the Roles form (Configuration > Security > Roles) determines the organizations for which you can see data on this report.

Account Groups

You can use account groups to organize accounts on financial reports.

Multicurrency

If you use the Multicurrency feature, the report may display amounts in different currencies. If the report contains a total for amounts in a mix of currencies, the report displays #### instead of an amount.

If the report displays amounts in different currencies, it is suggested that you also include currency symbols or currency codes. To do that, click the Layout tab in the Options dialog box and click in Currency to open the Format Currency dialog box. You may want to use the currency code in place of the currency symbol when the report includes more than one currency with the same currency symbol. For example, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars both use $ as the currency symbol. If you use the code, the report displays USD and CAD instead of the symbol.

An alternative to mixing currencies on the report is to select a presentation currency. When you generate the report, Vision converts all amounts to the presentation currency. The advantage of this method is that you can make meaningful comparisons between amounts, and the report can display meaningful totals.

Options Dialog Box

Use the Options dialog box to specify reporting options for a report. Depending on the report, the dialog box contains one or more of the following tabs: General, Sorting/Grouping, Columns, Budget, Metrics, User Defined Sections, Activity, Drill Down, Layout, and Graph.
