In the operating concern two things are basically defined

• Characteristics
• Value Fields

Characteristics are nothing but those aspects on which we want to break down the profit logically such as customer, region product, product hierarchy, sales person etc
Value Fields are nothing but the values associated with these characteristics Eg Sales, Raw Material Cost, Labour Cost, Overheads etc
Once you define the characteristics and value fields these values are updated in the table.
