Project Status Details Reporting Area
The Project Status Details reporting area enables you to generate detailed reports on project actual and budgeted performance using detail data from all past, current, and future fiscal periods and subperiods.
Unlike the Project Status Trend reporting area, the Project Status Details reporting area stores data by rows instead of columns. So while the Project Status Trend reporting area limits you to a maximum of 24 future periods, the Project Status Details reporting area gives you access to virtually an unlimited number of past and future fiscal periods. (Despite this difference between the two reporting areas, advanced users can pivot the data in the Project Status Details table to present it in period columns for a trended view.)
Another difference between this reporting area and the Project Status Trend reporting area is that the Project Status Details reporting area provides access to data in all budget or EAC versions. This enables you, for example, to use a filter to specify the budget version you want for the report or to select two budget versions to compare. That budget data can come from the baseline budget, from the most recent budget version or EAC, or from both the baseline budget and the most recent budget or EAC version (to provide a comparison of the two, for example).
The Trend reporting area does not have information from budget versions other than the baseline budget and the final version of the budget or EAC.
In addition, this reporting area includes time-related attributes, so you can filter data based on fiscal year, period, and subperiod. Be aware, however, that if you want to see year-to-date or inception-to-date amounts or hours, you must set up the reports to calculate them from the detailed records.
