Perincian

Perincian is a noun in Indonesian and Malay that refers to the act of detailing or to a detailed listing of components. It denotes a breakdown of information into smaller parts, such as costs, tasks, specifications, or steps. In budgetary and procurement contexts, perincian biaya or perincian pengadaan lists individual items, quantities, and prices, enabling transparency and control. In project management and planning, perincian tugas or perincian jadwal outlines responsibilities, milestones, and the sequence of activities.

Etymologically, perincian is formed with the prefix pe- attached to rincian, a word meaning details or particulars. The root rinci conveys minute or fine-grained information, and the prefix indicates the action or result of detailing. Thus, perincian emphasizes the enumerated or itemized nature of information.

Usage notes: the term is common in formal writing, administrative documents, financial reports, contracts, and audits. It often occurs with collocations such as biaya, kegiatan, tugas, spesifikasi, pelaksanaan, and anggaran. In English, perincian can be translated as details, breakdown, or itemized list, depending on context.

Related terms include rincian (the base noun meaning detail), rinci (adjective meaning detailed), and perincikan (verb form meaning to detail or to itemize). Perincian serves to make complex information more transparent by presenting discrete elements and their interrelations in a structured format.
