Setting Variance Reporting Properties

You can set variance reporting properties for members in an accounts dimension to determine how Essbase calculates the difference between actual and budget data. Any member that represents an expense to the company requires an expense property tag.

Note:

Variance reporting does not apply to aggregate storage outlines.

  To tag an accounts member as expense or non-expense:

  1. Open the outline in edit mode. 

  2. Select the member, right-click, and select Edit member properties.

  3. In the Member Properties dialog box, select the Information tab.

  4. In the Variance reporting expense drop-down list, select a variance reporting property.

  5. Click OK.
