  32. Macro to Micro The Micro reports are extensions of their respective Macro reports. The Micro Analysis extends the Macro Analysis and the Micro GAP Analysis extends the GAP Analysis. This means that no Pre-defined Queries exists for the Micro Analysis. The recommended method for access to a Micro Analysis is to call it up while in the corresponding Macro Analysis. Note that the Micro Analysis can be called up from within the Performance Analysis and the Price\Volume Analysis as well as the Macro Analysis.

  33. While navigating through the levels in the Macro Analysis, you can call up the Micro information for an entity by clicking on the Colored Button next to the code. Macro to Micro

  37. These comparisons are provided for the Current Month and Year to Date. The Moving Annual Total column shows the Actual sales for the last 12 months. The Yearly Budget column shows the Annual budget. Performance The Performance Analysis compares Current Year sales to Previous Year sales and Budget.

  38. The Latest Forecast column shows the forecasted annual figure for the year. This figure is the sum of the Actuals Year to Date and the Forecast Year to Go. Performance Performance

  39. Annual Actual sales two years ago. Annual Actual sales Last Year. Year to Date sales in Current Year Macro The Macro Analysis compares the annual Forecasts with the Budget and Actual sales from the last two years. The Columns of the report consist of:

  40. Annual Budget for Current Year. Futurcast Reference Forecast for Current Year. Official Forecast (including Adjustments) for Current Year. Official Forecast (including Adjustments) for Next Year. Macro The Columns of the report consist of:

  41. The last row shows the growth rate from year ago for each column where applicable. Note that the Total of each column is listed in red at the bottom. Macro

  47. Price Volume The Report shows the Yearly Currency sales for Last Year, the Current Year, and for Next Year. From these sales figures the Total Sales Growth rate from Last Year to Current Year and from Current Year to Next Year, are calculated. The purpose of the Price/Volume Analysis is to decompose the Total Currency growth trend for an entity into its Unit Sales growth versus Price growth versus Exchange Rate growth (when applicable).

  48. Price Volume In the following three sections the Total Growth has been de-composed so that indication is given to what portion was contributed by: 1. Volume Growth: Growth portion due to Unit Sales variation. 2. Price Growth: Growth portion due to Price variation. 3. Exchange Rate Growth: Growth portion due to Exchange Rate variation.

  49. Price Volume Note: The calculations follow the textbook multiplicative formula, and the numbers are consequently not additive.

  50. These comparisons are conducted for both the current and the next Budget years. GAP The GAP Analysis compares the Budget with the Futurcast Reference Forecast, and the Official Forecast.
