Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account

The Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account form retrieves account information from the Account Master table (F0901) and then retrieves balances from the F1602 table.

You can set the processing options to indicate default information that the system uses to obtain the summary information. After you complete the processing options, the system displays these values on the Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account header area of the form, such as for a specific account, cost object, item number, subledger, or subledger type. The system uses the cost object and subledger values only to calculate the balances for the account.

To review original and net or ending balances by account, you can use the Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account program (P16021). The system displays account information in summary or detail, using the following forms:

• Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account, which displays account balances for a view that is based on the level of detail.

• Cost Analyzer Detail, which displays details for a specific account.

With the summary form, Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account, you can review accounts by cost objects and cost object types. You should use the Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account form when you require total account balances. You can use the Cost Analyzer Detail Inquiry form to retrieve balances for the specific account that you selected from the Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account form.

To specify how the system displays information from the Cost Analyzer Balances table (F1602), you can enter the following information in the processing options or in the header area of the form:

Information	Description
View	With the Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account program, you can review summary and detail information for a specific view.
Level of Detail	The summary form, Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account, summarizes accounts and account balances by level of detail and displays information that is based on the Account Master table (F0901). The system displays accounts with level of detail values that are equal to or less than the requested level. For example, the levels of detail are 3 (summary) through 9 (detail). If you select to display accounts with a level of detail of 5, the system displays levels 3, 4, and 5 and summarizes the balances from levels 6 through 9 into 5. The balances that are greater than the specified level of detail are summarized into the appropriate account.
Variances	The Cost Analyzer Inquiry by Account form specifies the calculation method that the system uses to compute the variance between the Ledger Type 1 and Ledger Type 2. The variance amount and the variance percentage are calculated when you inquire on two ledger types. The calculation method is the mathematical means used to display the variances between Ledger Type 1 and Ledger Type 2. For example, if you specify the calculation method Add, the system adds the balance for Ledger Type 1 to the balance for Ledger Type 2 and displays the sum total in the variance column.
Display Balances or Suppress Zero Balances	You can suppress accounts with zero balances. When you suppress zero balances, the system still retrieves all accounts that are equal to or less than the level of detail for non-posting accounts. You can choose to display net and original balances.
