Rincian

Rincian is a noun in the Indonesian language used to denote the details or an itemized breakdown of something. It refers to the individual elements that compose a larger whole. The word is derived from the adjective rinci, meaning detailed or minute, with the suffix -an forming a noun that denotes a set or collection of details. In usage, rincian emphasizes specificity rather than general description and is common in formal documents, plans, and analyses.

Rincian is frequently applied in budgeting and financial contexts as rincian biaya to present a line-by-line list of costs such as transport, lodging, meals, and materials. In project management or planning, rincian kegiatan outlines tasks, dates, and resources. In technical or scientific writing, rincian spesifikasi or rincian teknis provides exact requirements, measurements, and tolerances. The term is also used with verbs such as merinci (to detail or itemize) and menyajikan rincian (present the details).

Etymology and usage: The term is part of the Indonesian lexicon and is widely used in Malay as well. It forms part of common expressions where precision and accountability are important, such as procurement, audits, and reporting. In everyday language, rincian can be used to refer to “the details” of any topic, from a news article to a personal budget.
