Performing divisional analysis

Once you have imported divisions (e.g. tracking categories, classes, locations, jobs, cost centres) for your company, Fathom enables you to use divisions in the Analysis tools in the following ways:

Viewing divisional KPI results
Using the Breakdown tool
Accessing detailed divisional account performance in the Financials tool

Viewing KPIs for your divisions

If you have created divisional KPIs in the company, you can view them and their results within the Analysis tools.

You can select to view these metrics in the KPI summary, KPI Explorer, and Trend analysis tools.

Breakdown Analysis

The Breakdown analysis tool ranks each division's performance within the company. In addition to viewing profitability metrics, you can view results for accounts in your chart of accounts or KPIs.

To use the tool,

Select the metric or account for breakdown by clicking the first bolded variable selector at the top of the tool.
Choose any KPI (default or custom), Chart of Account line item, or any summary classification from the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet to breakdown by division.
Sort the breakdown display by clicking on the second bolded variable selector at the top of the tool.
Choose to sort the tool alphabetically or by result in the dropdown menu.
