Understanding the Gain/Loss Analysis Report

You can run the Gain/Loss Analysis Report or review the Gain/Loss Inquiry to examine the overall gains and losses for a depot and product based on the Gain/Loss Transactions File table (F41512).

The Gain/Loss Analysis report shows the quantity and financial affect of gains and losses.

Depending on how you set processing options, you can compare either the volume difference or the percent variance.

The system performs variance (or tolerance) checking as follows:

• For a volume difference, the system compares the total gain or loss for each product with the quantity in the processing options.

  This comparison produces a report in which variances are greater than, equal to, or less than a certain volume.

• For a percent variance, the system compares the total gain or loss as a percent of total outgoings with the quantity in the processing options.

  This comparison produces a report in which the variance is greater than, equal to, or less than a percentage that you specify.

• If you do not enter a quantity for comparison in the processing options, the report displays all records.
