Controlling & Analytics

Recognition by destination of administrative/management events.

• Extreme flexibility in the CO.GE./CO.AN connection
• Unlimited number of analysis dimensions
• Possibility of simulating accounting entries to attribute management events
• Possibility of managing automatic self-storing entries (e.g. accruals, invoices to be received, management depreciation)
• Possibility of entering CO.AN.-only registrations
• Support through analysis-dimension selection grids

Process by which the reallocation of costs detected during the primary allocation phase to the final control objects (production departments, products, customers ...) is managed

• Management of both static and dynamic drivers, with the latter automatically deduced from information resident in the database (active cycle, liabilities, manufacturing ...)
• Management of rollover/reallocation sequence
• Creation of rollover scenarios, through which values can be analysed by dimension at different levels of the rollover process
• Automatic calculation of the ‘rate’ or unit of work of production/process cost centres or activity pools

Process by which, drawing on the information constructed in the two previous phases or directly from the passive, active cycle and stock accounts, the cost of sales and marginality is determined per final dimension of analysis (customer, article ...)

• Choice of different cost accounting approaches
• Possibility to implement inventory valuation scenarios and thus to manage real direct cost accounting
• Possibility of asset accounting with Anglo-Saxon methodology
• In case of standard cost accounting, possibility of detecting variances (price, efficiency, cost, etc.) and handling them either on the final control objects or with the reversal process
• Possibility of allocating commercial variable costs from the asset cycle

Process by which the information implemented in the previous phases is aggregated and analysed and the actual management control is realised.

• Possibility of implementing accounting analyses including primary imputation values and derived from analytical accounting, thus producing analyses by dimension
• Possibility of freely reclassifying the chart of accounts
• Link to Power BI for the presentation of data/reports, for detailed analysis by drill down and for the calculation of KPIs

Process by which the annual budget is prepared. In this case, in addition to EMA there is also Power BI. The process by which a sales budget is constructed is...

• Creation of a ‘base budget’ environment
• Possibility of managing data entry for budget allocation
• Possibility of defining a set of splitting rules based partly on the Business Central sales history and partly on customised rules
• Possibility to make the final result monthly
• Budget/financial statement comparison reporting at different levels of analysis
• Workflow' structure of the process
• Possibility of using the budget result to feed an MPS/MRP

Using the potential of PowerApps and the EOS app ecosystem, we have developed the entire budgeting process. In particular...

• Calculation of budgeted COGS, using budgeted unit cost management and development of multiple sales valuation scenarios
• Classifying costs between fixed and variable costs
• Possibility of implementing a CE and SP budget structure, as an association of CO.AN items
• Budget of fixed costs by size and per month
• Balance sheet and budgeted cash flow statement
• Monthly cash budget
