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. It runs on PF7.

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

Sales are extracted from P&L application in WBP and data is then enhanced with an SPM dimension, through a sequence of steps, via lookup in mapping tables maintained in WBP.

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

Functional and Technical rules on Workbench + Reporting

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

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
