Financial Projection Report

Report Module Guide: Financial Projection Report (Matrix)

Module Location

General Ledger > Report > Financial Projection Report

Module Objective

The Financial Projection Report module is used to generate a comparative report between the Financial Projection (Forecast) and the Actual realization in a matrix format. This report is very useful for evaluating how accurate the financial forecast was when compared to the performance that actually occurred.

1. Report Parameters (Matrix Financial)

The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the comparison report that will be generated.

Here is an explanation for each parameter:

Account:
- Select All to include all accounts, or select COA to filter the report to only display specific accounts chosen from the dropdown.
Cost Center:
- Select All for all departments, No Cost Center for transactions without an allocation, or Cost Center to select specific departments.
Period:
- Specify the From and To date range to define the comparison period (e.g., July 1, 2025, to July 30, 2025).
Type:
- Choose the presentation or data grouping method for the report.
- By Dept: Grouped by department.
- By Monthly: Grouped by month.
- By Accounting: Grouped by accounting structure.
- Register: Displays in a detailed transaction format.

2. Steps to Generate the Report

Step 1: Set Report Parameters

Fill in or select all the parameters you need in the Matrix Financial section to ensure the generated report matches the scope of your analysis.

Step 2: Generate the Report

After all parameters are set, click the Display Report button in the bottom-left section of the page to preview the comparison report.

Additional Button Functions

This module also has several buttons with advanced functions:

Upload Data: This button is likely used to upload financial projection data in a matrix format (e.g., from an Excel file) directly into the system.
Verify: This button is likely used to verify or ratify the uploaded projection data before it can be used in reports.

Tips & Important Notes

This report is different from a "Budget VS Actual" report. This report measures how accurate your forecast was, whereas "Budget VS Actual" measures performance against a target (budget).
To obtain an accurate report, ensure that the data in the Financial Projection module (for the Financial Projection side) and all actual transactions have been entered correctly.
Use the Type filter to change how data is presented according to your analysis needs (e.g., By Monthly to see the trend of forecast accuracy from month to month).
