General presentation

Objective of the application


SPM stands for "Sustainability Portfolio Management". It's a Solvay proprietary approach to assess business sustainability risks and opportunities that runs on PF7.

The objective of SPM reporting in BW is to provide a "Sustainability view" (Market Alignment, Operations Vulnerability) for the sales of the group.

Sales (Turnover, Volume) are extracted from P&L in WBP and then enhanced with an SPM dimension, through a sequence of steps (lookup in mapping tables). 

SPM Master Data (SPM Product, SPM Application) is loaded from PF7.

Rules & Explanations

Detail of main topics with explanations of the rules and only the main + special rules about queries to run and use in the correct way


Aquisition of data

Sales data is loaded from P&L using APDs.



These APDs load current + previous month into Direct Update DSOs.

The Sub-Activity field (0G_CWWE01) is very important to define the GBU and Group of Activities.

From Rhodia query, it gets directly field 0G_CWWE01 (normally IECRAxxx)

From Solvay query, (due to PQ1 decomission and SpS projects), it gets from different fields depending on the month being loaded.  It takes C_TECHBA (old object from PQ1) if month < 01/2018 (kept for reloading purposes) and from C_TECPCT2 if month >= 01/2018. In any case, it takes the attribute C_REST_BA (Restated BA) and move to 0G_CWWE01 (single object in the query for both legacies).

Example:


List of APDs:

(The last 2 APDs are not scheduled on a regular basis, they were created for reloading purpose, allowing to inform the period to be loaded in the query variant).

Derivation of SPM characteristics


Some customizing tables were created in WBP with maintenance views (access restricted to very few users).


There are basically 2 steps:


1) Derive SPM product

For Rhodia Legacy - based on GBU / Group of Activities / Sub-Activity / Product Line 2 / Product Line 0 / Commercial Product

For Solvay Legacy -  based on GBU / Group of Activities / Sub-Activity / PIF hierarchy / Product hierarchy / Material Group 


Example:


How it's stored in mapping table 


How the derivation is done from a sales record




2) Derive SPM PAC (Application)

For both legacies, based on SPM product obtained in step 1 + End-Use fields (Market, Application, Segment, End-Use)


Example: 


How it's stored in the mapping table



How the derivation is done from a sales record



Dependencies with other applications

Dependencies with other application (BW, QV, Externals tools like PVelocity or Dynasis etc...

Data loadings

Info providers and objects loaded

Detail of process chain, list + link between or special event done for the loading

Loading frequency

Detail of frequency : monthly; weekly or else

Average performance

if possible, give some information on average process chain duration, amount of data loaded and total data volume example: daily process chain loaded in 30 min, weekly chain loaded in 1h15, with around 2k to 10k lines in DELTA mode for a total of 10M lines in cube. The purpose is to give a general overview of the volume of data managed y the application

 

Key FigureEstimation
~ Average Process Chain Runtime 
~ Average nb of rows loaded per load 
~ Total nb of rows loaded (if full) 
~ Average Runtime for 10k lines 

Record Keeping

Give details if any historisation is done, example: keep only data greater than beginning of Y-3

Reporting

Queries End User Documentation

Query end user documentation should be created in the public "Customer Support Wiki" space under the corresponding BW application page : BW - Application. Technical query query documentation, if necessary should be added as a sub-page of this documentation using the BW Technical Query Documentation template.

 

Main queries

List the most important and complex queries only with a link to the documentation

Main functionalities

Give detail on all complex functionalities: list most important and/or complex KPI, query jump, alerts

Broadcast

Indicate if there are broadcasts and give some details on the broadcast settings.

Maintenance

Known bugs

Give the list and explanation on the known, not-solved, bugs.

Recurring procedure

List recurring procedures

Planned Evolution

Detail planned major evolution if already known. Example: complete decommissioning of application is planned in 2017 / Extension to solvay perimeter planned in 2nd semester of 2016
