The allocation of costs to a GBU, a function or SBS is based on the ZCBS hierarchy. 

Each cost center is assigned to a group of the hierarchy that is itself assigned to the group: GBU, Function or SBS using the mapping maintained in the file Mapping (sheet " function grouping" - column C)

In this view, the YTD of the current year (=1,51 G) is compared with the YTD of the previous year (1,65G). 

The currency is Euro

• When the number is green preceded by a down arrow  ↓  costs are decreasing
• When the number is red preceded by an up arrow  ↑  costs are increasing 

• Costs 2019 (A) = Costs Y-1 converted in Euro using the Year-to-date Monthly Average Rate  (Rate C) of december Y-1
• Costs 2019 RSB (B) = Costs Y-1 converted in Euro using the Year-to-date Monthly Average Rate  (Rate C) of the current month
• Costs 2020 (C) = Costs Y converted in Euro using the Year-to-date Monthly Average Rate  (Rate C) of the current month
• FX (1) = (B) - (A) = Exchange rate impact
• Inflation Labour (2) = The inflation is calculated country by contry using inflations rates filled in the file Mapping  (sheet "INFLATION LABOUR (ZRCS-10)"). It is calculated for all cost elements included in the group ZRCS-10 of the Cost element Group ZRCS-FC. 
• Inflation Other (3) = The inflation is calculated country by contry using inflations rates filled in the file Mapping (sheet "INFLATION OTHER "). It is calculated for all cost elements excluding those in the group ZRCS-10 of the Cost element Group ZRCS-FC. 
• Δ (4) = (C) - (A) - (1) - (2) - (3) = variance that is not explained by the exchange rate or the inflation.
