Business value
This new way of executing the Compare item price report is useful in cases where the output
contains a large number of lines. For example, requesting a comparison of the current active
standard cost against next year's pending standard cost for 60,000 items would yield a very long
report, where data is difficult to review. Being able to sort and filter the results, or to export the
results to an external system, makes the report faster and easier to navigate.

Feature details
MS is introducing new functionality for comparing item price storage. When you execute the
"Compare item price" report, you must provide a unique name for the specific execution, and
the results of the report will be stored under this name.
The output will be accessible on the Compare item price storage page. This page dynamically
adjusts columns and aggregates balances depending on the configuration made by the user.
You can add a filter so the items with the largest net change in price are listed at the top of the
grid. A drill-through function provides the ability to see the net change by cost group type or
cost group. In case a specific price requires further analysis, a link to the actual cost calculation is
available.

MS is also introducing a new "Compare item price" data entity. This data entity enables you to
export the output of a specific, named "Compare item price" report to any format supported by
data management, making the data available for use with external applications.
