Access this screen by using Enter after selecting your comparison groups on the previous screen.

Because this data is as of end of month, the data will not change during the course of the month.

This screen compares the two groups selected on the previous screen on their activity for different transaction origins (you can optionally select to view only a handful of transaction origins on the first screen). Upon entering the screen, each group will be broken down by their Debits (whole $), Credits (whole $), Activity (# of transactions), and Cost Factor. Cost Factor is determined through its configuration in the Transaction Management Analysis screens.

By default, the screen will look at the monthly average over the last three full months for the group. For example, in April the screen will review the EOM balances for January-March, and average those amounts to give the group average. Use Avg by Group/Mbr/Trx (F8) once to toggle to the Per Member Avg (for example, when looking at the last three months, what is the average amount per member per month for that transaction origin). Use the toggle one more time to see the Per Transaction Avg.

Use the button to drill down to an individual origin code analysis. Click the button at the bottom of the list of transaction origins for a more in depth comparison of the totals. The Origin code descriptions come from the MAORIGSEQ file.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The per member average is not calculated using the number of members listed on this screen. The number of members listed on this screen represents the total unique members that had transactions in any of the channels listed. Member counts for each individual origin type can be found by selecting the button to view more details.
