   The major points of reconciliation include the following:

   • In the rows, the departments are grouped by their Type definition on the DEPT table: direct, indirect, dead-end, and NA.
   • The columns reflect the type of allocation or reclass operation that was done, with the result reflected afterward so that the changes in expenses can be tracked through each operation for each department.
   • Double-click on any department row to display the drill report for that department, showing the details of each inflow and outflow by reclass and allocation rule.
