You can include up to 13 custom amount columns, 13 custom budget columns, 13 custom budget variance columns, and 13 custom budget variance percentage columns on the Profit Planning Monitor to display account activity and budget information for any period or range of periods.
- The custom amount columns display the amount of account activity during the periods you specify.
- The custom budget columns display the budgets for the periods you specify.
- The custom budget variance columns display the difference between the corresponding custom amount and custom budget amount.
- The custom budget variance percentage columns display the result of dividing the corresponding custom budget variance by the custom budget.
If you display more than one of these types of columns, specify the same range of accounting periods for each of the columns in a set. For example, if you add
Custom Amount 01 and
Custom Budget 01 to the report, and if
Custom Amount 01 displays account activity for the first quarter of the current year, you must set up
Custom Budget 01 to display the budgets for the first quarter of the current year. However, you do not need to display all four columns on the report. You can select any combination of the columns.
For each custom column that you include on the report, specify the following on that row of the grid:
- A column heading of one or two lines in
Line 1 Heading and
Line 2 Heading
