Spend Analytics
Improved accuracy in payment terms KPIs
We have revisited our approach to identifying reversing accounting entries from your data, which are excluded from payment terms KPIs on the Payment terms dashboard. You will now find the avg. invoice-to-due and invoice-to-pay metrics increasingly accurate, as well as more relevant payment term opportunities.
Analytics
Mekko chart available in Self-service
Self-service has been expanded with an option to create Mekko charts. Mekko charts offer a great alternative to classic, stacked bar charts. You can use the Mekko chart e.g. to Identify the highest working capital opportunity in different parts of your organisation for strategic suppliers. Note that you always need to select two dimensions and one measure to create the Mekko chart.
Improvements to Calendar view
The calendar dropdown has been enlarged so you now see and can select up to five years in one go. Previously there was only space for two full years. This makes selecting more months & years much easier!
Inconsistency between bookmark time scope & time selector (bug fix)
The time selector now gets updated to reflect the time selection saved in the bookmark and shown on bookmarked charts.
Chart options button now always visible on charts
The chart options menu (three dot button on top right of each chart) is now always visible and no longer requires users to hover over it - meaning it is now easier for users to find and access the tools available for each char.
New Jaxu pic in Self-service
Jaxu's pic (our beloved seal mascot) has been updated on the self-service home page. Note that Jaxu is visible in self-service only if the user doesn't have any self-service bookmarks created.
Sievo Academy
New Sievo Academy trainingexercises
Have you been looking ways to test your own or your team's Sievo skills? Spend analytics exercises are here to help! These are exercises that learners can do at their own pace in their own Sievo environment, using their own categories and suppliers. The exercises can also be downloaded as powerpoint file, which means that you can run them in a live session with your team, and adjust the exercises with your organization's context! Difficulty level increases with each exercise, and if they get too tricky, instructions for completing the tasks are also given.
We have also added two new lessons to our CO2 analytics - course and complemented the classification related instructions by: Classification feedback tool: Approver's guide.
You'll always find Sievo Academy at the bottom of the main navigation. Happy learning!
