Example: if Example: if you filter on an “IECRA”, the Inventory report will not work properly. This is because the IECRA is a sale dimension and has no corresponding dimension in the inventory data.


Note 1:
 

Careful when looking at the legal entity in the DOS as the DOS is calculated from Sales and Inventory and the legal entity notion is different between the 2 (Sales h1.= Invoicing entity, inventory = entity owning the inventory).

Note 2:
Careful when looking at the plant in the DOS as the DOS is calculated from Sales and Inventory and the plant notion is different between the 2 (Sales h1.dispatch  = plant, inventoryplant where the goods are stored, or plant of the transit).

...

Note 5:
In the case of the account receivables data, the Ship To and Country are not the Ship to, but the customer from the invoice (and country of that customer).

Note 6:

In the case of the account receivables data, the Ship to KA is actually the "Customer Group".

About the Key Account (KA)

The Key Account (or KA) is the main dimension in this dashboard.

+What is it ?

  1. Key Account is a grouping of customers. As in SAP a customer (Ship to) is created for a location/address (Ex : BASF in Shanghai, BASF Paris), you can have many different customers in SAP for a single account. The objective of the Key Account grouping is to allow to show the KPIs for all the locations of a single account called "Key Account" (Ex : BASF Paris and BASF Shanghai are grouped under a unique BASF Key Account)

 

Section
Column
width50%

How is it defined ?

...

 

The Key Account is defined for each combination of "Material + Ship to". Potentially a Ship to could be linked to several Key Accounts for different materials.

Default selection 

By default when you open the dashboard only the "TOP 10" Key Accounts are selected.

The Top 10 is calculated based on

...

the total sales value in the past 2 years.

You can r

...

emove the default top 10 selection

...

 by removing the filter on the "Current Selections" screen.

You

...

can come back to only selecting the top

...

10 by clicking on "TOP 10 KA by Sales" button on the right side bar
