The Item Theoretical Variance Report is a continuation of the Item Category Theoretical Variance Report and allows a User to drill down from an Item Category into the individual Items that make up that category and analyze their total dollar variances. This can help focus in on specific items that need attention without first oping the AvT Analysis Report.
