Setting Periodicity for Versions
Procedure
To compare versions created using different periodicity, you can change the periodicity of both versions to a common periodicity using Change period.
If the same periodicity has been set for both versions, the system highlights the lines that contain different quantities, and displays the percentage of the deviation in a third column.
To set the periodicity for versions, select Edit ? Change period, and select the periodicity in which you want to compare the versions.
Result
The system highlights the periods in which the versions in comparison differ from each other. It also displays the percentage deviation between the quantity on the right and the quantity on the left in the Dev % column.
