Current Perimeter*
The GSV application includes all RCS data (coming from server WP1)..
The reports taking data from FIAP (Finance Account Payables) also include data from the Acetow ERP system.
Solvay*
Currently Solvay legacy ERP data (PF1) is not included.

"Invoiced" means that the report will show spend amounts as long as we have received the invoice :
"Ordered" means that the report will show spend amounts for all Orders that have been created, whatever the goods receipt is done and whatever the invoice is received.
"FI" means that the data comes from the Finance SAP Module, which contains all invoices.
"MM" means that the data comes from the Material Management SAP Module, which contains the purchase orders and material documents (GR).
Since FI and MM are 2 different databases, you will not find all the analysis axes in both.
