• Legal Entities - All except for Butachimie & Rhodia Manyar
• Order Type - "KB" excluded for Engineering Plastics
• Integrated Margin - For Engineering Plastics refer to its Market Margin

Flags:

• Consolidated Entities (Y/N) - Consolidated entities now work as a regular QV Filter : nothing selected = all, Y = only consolidated entities, N = only non-consolidated entities.
  For example, selecting (N) will show 100% sales, volumes and margins while selecting (Y) will consider the consolidation methods of each Legal Entity by multiplying the sales, volumes and margins by the Entity consolidation rate (eg. joint venture of 50%/50%, only 50% of sales will be shown in the analysis)
  
  
• Intra GBU/External Flags:

  Comparison between selling and buying GBU (BW rule) :

  

  • No buying GBU = External

  To Other GBUs - Intra Sales flow to other GBUs can be viewed with this flag.
  External = Select this to view the final customer outside of Solvay.
  Within GBU - Intra GBU sales are available to be viewed by selecting the "Within GBU" flag. Excluded automatically for Aroma Performance and Fibras.
