Profitability Analysis in SAP-Your <I>Kaleidoscope</I> for Performance Evaluation

Abstract

How many of us remember Kaleidoscope..? It is like a tube containing pieces of colored glass. We turn the tube or our Kaleidoscope clockwise or anti clockwise in different angles and the reflections of the glass pieces inside produce different shapes which look really fascinating.

Reporting capability of Profitability Analysis is no different than that.

Here, the glass pieces are the dimensions (organizational units, products, customers etc) in Profitability Segments and when we scroll up or down their values it is like turning the tube or the kaleidoscope to view the financials for given combinations of these dimensions.
