The situation
the Denver branch opened four months ago, with a trade counter for walk-in electricians. Is it paying off?
Every entry in Aurora's books is tagged Pittsburgh or Denver (an accounting dimension), but reporting by it means knowing where to look. Here you ask.
Step by step
Each step as it looks in the demo installation, on Aurora Components (Demo).
Open Dynocortex → Chats and ask
"How has Denver done since it opened, compared with Pittsburgh?"
Ask
"What did opening it cost us?"
Open Accounting → Profit and Loss Statement. Set Based On to Accounting Dimension and choose Branch: Pittsburgh and Denver side by side.
What a good answer contains
- Denver's income and costs since it opened, beside Pittsburgh's, from the Branch dimension.
- What's in Denver's costs: its rent and power, its petty cash, the stock it holds.
- What opening it cost: the branch opening project, the racking, the counter display and laptop.
- Whether the branch covers its own rent and power yet, and what it would take.
What the full product does beyond the demo
The Executive reports each branch's results in the morning brief and raises it when one falls behind its plan.
Answers are worded afresh each time, so yours will read differently. The demo company is made up, and its data goes back to the start every night.
