Contributions Benchmarking Distribution Report
The Contributions Benchmarking Distribution Report report shows the distribution of contribution values within your firm's book of business. You can see the number of contribution values distributed by two parameters including Group Size, LOC, Plan Type, Account State, Account Industry, and Tier Schedule. Use this report to determine which plans are non-contributory and which payment schedules are frequently used.
This is a Data Mart report: only data entered as of 9 p.m. (Pacific Time) the previous day is included.

The columns and fields that display on the report depend on your selections in the "Group Results By" and "Show Contribution Distribution By" parameters.
The data returned is always your firm's total number of contribution values based on the two groupings "Group Results By* and "Show Contribution Distribution By".
The Contributions Distribution returns data from all active client accounts. All users see the same numbers regardless of their permissions to view accounts or offices. The data is shown as ranges preventing any identifiable information.
Accounts that are set up to be excluded from Firm Benchmarking are also excluded from the Contribution Distribution results. Prospective plans (defined in the Origination Reason field) do not appear in this report.
