You can select your target and choose the Budget or the previous Year.

In 2021, Budget is only available for the F2G scope and only by GBU or CBS Function and Macro-Package.

This line will let you know which period is used for the variation, what you are looking at in this view.

3 scopes are available in Costa:

• ALL : it includes all indirect spend (all costs except raw materials and utilities) / all CAPEX/OPEX/Capital leases
• Anaplan Scope : It is the Budget scope and it is a subset of Co$ta perimeter. We want to focus the budget on fixed costs that are managed on a recurring basis: we exclude variable costs and non recurring costs
• F2G Scope : Full for Growth scope is a subset of Anaplan scope. We exclude Internal Labor, Commission on sales and Warehouse & Log Rental

You can find here further info

By default all costs are reported in the dashboard but it is possible to exclude costs invoiced by another company Solvay:

• (A) When both buttons Interco/Non Interco have the same color (white), all costs are displayed in the dashboard
• (B) When the button Interco is blue, only costs with a vendor Solvay are displayed
• (C) When the button Non Interco is blue, costs invoiced by another company Solvay are excluded

When you select % Conso Applied to display the results of operations of the concerned legal entities after applying the consolidation (integration) rate relevant for these entities.

So for instance, for a JV integrated at 50%, the costs are 50% of the original company's figures

By default only OPEX are displayed in the dashboard but it is possible to display all costs including CAPEX ( Capital Expenditure) & Capital Leases

• (A) When all buttons CAPEX-Invest/Capital Leases/OPEX have the same color (white), all costs are displayed in the dashboard
• (B) When the button OPEX is blue, only OPEX is displayed
• (C) When the button Capital Leases is blue, only Capital Leases are displayed
