We are launching a brand new Payment terms simulation dashboard for doing cash-flow analysis. Using the new dashboard you can simulate various payment options (including discounts) and even compare two alternative approaches against the historical data. This new dashboard will replace the Payment terms scenario dashboard and becomes available to all analytics customers within the next months. Please contact your customer representative if you want to know more.
We are adding new data points by Duns and Bradstreet to the Supplier 360 dashboard. This data, collected during our external vendor enrichment, will help you better understand supplier parenting decisions. The data points available are Global Ultimate, Domestic Ultimate, Primary Name and SIC code on the Spend by ERP supplier table. These data points will become available once you select a single supplier to explore in the dashboard. Note that some exceptions apply and data will become available after an upgrade led by our Modernisation team.
You can now determine the amount of spend that users can move independently or suggest to move out of a category. The previously hard limit of 100 million (EUR, USD or default currency) was not always fitting for every situation. Let your Sievo representative know what limit works for you, and we’ll do the update.
We have now added a breadcrumb navigation to the Reclassification permissions page. This allows you to easily navigate back to the reclassification requests after e.g. editing user permission. In the past you needed to open this in a second tab or navigation back from the side navigation. This is a small improvement that will save you a many clicks!
When you open a new tab within same solution area (e.g. two different Spend dashboards), the new tab follows the same time selection as in the original tab. Previously the new tab opened with the default time selection (usually YTD) messing up your previous time selections. Now the time selection of each tab will always keep in sync and charts updated directly. Please note that the calendar selector dates you see in the new tabs, only gets updated when you refresh the page (F5) even if the graph get updated with the new selection on another tab.
The selected quick filters are now highlighted when you select any filter value from the dropdown. If there was any minor confusion over which filter was selected earlier, now that confusion is gone!
Opening a Self-Service bookmark on the home page, did not always include all of the dimensions and measures. This occurred randomly due to a bug that is now fixed.
Materials forecasting often needs to use different volume forecast data sets depending on what kind of round you are creating. Next fiscal budget rounds are often based on longer-term planning data sources, whereas forecasts made during the year are typically based on MRP type of data. By enabling budget volumes as a separate volume data source, we make managing rounds much simpler as the user can rely that they are building their budgets or forecast on top of the correct data set.
In the same go we added support for new price data source. SAP info records provide current pricing on specific materials and vendors and in many case are a solid source for future and already contracted prices.
We are happy to announce that we have launched the new Sievo Academy, an online learning platform for all Sievo users. Sievo Academy offers curated learning paths and courses to give Sievo users the knowledge and skills they need to succeed with Sievo. The new site has replaced the Training page. You’ll find Academy at the bottom of the main navigation.
