Module: FA (Finance & Accounting)
Feature: FA-16
Last Updated: 2026-02-13
Overview
The Financial Analytics module provides four pages for executive-level financial insight:
| Page | Route | Purpose |
|---|
| Dashboard | /fa/analytics/dashboard | At-a-glance financial summary with KPI cards |
| KPIs | /fa/analytics/kpis | Key performance indicators with thresholds and trends |
| Trends | /fa/analytics/trends | Revenue vs. expense trends across fiscal periods |
| Variance | /fa/analytics/variance | Budget vs. actual comparison with significance flags |
fa.dashboard.view, fa.analytics.kpis.view, etc.).
Financial Dashboard
The dashboard displays summary cards for:
- Total Revenue — Sum of revenue account balances for the current period
- Total Expenses — Sum of expense account balances for the current period
- Net Income — Revenue minus expenses
- Cash Position — Current cash and bank account balances (requires FA-14)
Each card shows the current value and a trend indicator vs. the previous period.
KPI Page
Reading KPI Cards
Each KPI card displays:
| Element | Description |
|---|
| Value | Current calculated value (e.g., 38 days) |
| Unit | Measurement unit (days, ratio, percentage, currency) |
| Status | Color-coded: Green (normal), Yellow (warning), Red (critical) |
| Trend | Change from previous calculation (↑ or ↓ with percentage) |
| Target | Organization’s target value (dashed line on charts) |
Built-in KPIs
| KPI Code | Name | Category | Direction |
|---|
| DSO | Days Sales Outstanding | Efficiency | Lower is better |
| DPO | Days Payable Outstanding | Efficiency | Target is best |
| CR | Current Ratio | Liquidity | Higher is better |
Threshold Colors
- Green (Normal): Value is within acceptable range
- Yellow (Warning): Value crossed the warning threshold
- Red (Critical): Value crossed the critical threshold
The threshold direction matters: for “lower is better” KPIs (like DSO), higher values trigger warnings. For “higher is better” KPIs (like Current Ratio), lower values trigger warnings.
Trend Analysis
The Trends page shows revenue and expense data across fiscal periods as line/bar charts.
- X-axis: Fiscal periods (months or quarters)
- Y-axis: Dollar amounts
- Lines: Revenue (green), Expenses (red), Net Income (blue)
Select different date ranges using the period selector at the top of the page.
Variance Analysis
The Variance page compares budgeted amounts to actual amounts by account.
Reading the Variance Table
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Account | Chart of accounts entry |
| Budget | Planned amount for the period |
| Actual | Real amount recorded |
| Variance $ | Budget minus actual (positive = under budget) |
| Variance % | Percentage difference |
| Status | Favorable (green), Unfavorable (red), Neutral (gray) |
| Significant | ⚠️ flag if variance exceeds threshold |
Significance Threshold
The variance threshold (default 10%) is configurable by your Finance Admin in FA Settings. Any variance exceeding this percentage is flagged as significant and warrants investigation.
Favorable vs. Unfavorable
- Revenue accounts: Actual > Budget = Favorable (more money earned)
- Expense accounts: Actual < Budget = Favorable (less money spent)
