Views

Before you can review the results of calculations for either activity-based costing or managerial accounting, you must define views for the cost analyzer. Cost analyzer views allow you to post data to the Cost Analyzer Balances table (F1602) in a summarized or a detailed format.

Cost analyzer views allow you to look at data that the system summarizes differently in different years or for the same year. When you define a view, you specify the fiscal year and the fiscal date pattern for the data that you want to view. Additionally, you define the level of detail that you want to view, such as the ledger type, business unit of the data, and the cost objects.
