​
Overview

The Financial Analytics module provides four pages for executive-level financial insight: Access requires the appropriate permission (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:

​
Built-in KPIs

​
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

​
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)
