For example, when you position the cursor on a cell for planned costs, only the reports that contain planned costs list data. If you select a cell for planned costs and run a report that only contains actual data, no data lists.

The SAP system displays four columns for all sections of the report, including actual postings, planned data, and a calculation of the variance between the two, both as an absolute and as a percentage value (calculated by dividing the actual data by the planned).

By double-clicking on any subtotals in the report, the detail that makes up each subtotal can either be hidden or displayed. For example, double-clicking on the Internal activities line will hide the cost element detail. To display this detail again, double-click on this line.
