FAQ

Frequently asked questions about drill-down.

What is drill-down in a financial report?

It means moving from an amount in a report to the data it is made of – from the company result, through the cost center and account, down to individual journal entries.

What data will I see at the entry level?

The date, document number, description and amount – to the extent this data is available in the source system.

Does drill-down help explain a variance from budget?

Yes. At each level you can compare actuals with the budget and identify the accounts and entries responsible for the difference.

Will every audience see journal entries?

Not necessarily. You set access to details by role – the management board can see results, while the controller also sees source entries.

Which systems does the data come from?

Most often from the accounting or ERP system. The level of detail depends on how the data is integrated with the Fincorex® model.
