Purpose: To display a list of the line items of all financial documents that have been posted to a particular
account assignment in FM (Funds Management).

Using this report, you can display a list of the line items of all financial documents that were posted to a particular
account assignment in FM (Funds Management). This is information available to a user via the Budget to Actual
Report (ZBUDACT); however, a user must drill down into the Budget to Actual Report to get to this line item
detail—and depending on the volume of transactions, it can be a bit time-consuming. A big benefit of this report
is the ability to get to the details of actual expenditures without drilling down on each commitment item. You can
also set up layouts that allow you to customize your view of the report.
