Support for diversity reporting

Support for diversity reporting

Being able to select payment date or posting date to report diversity statuses on if it is at any point relevant. Being able to manually update the diversity status of custom assessed suppliers for customers who are custom assessing diversity statuses.
This will allow for more support and flexibility in diversity reporting. Please contact your Sievo representative for implementation if it is relevant to you.

 

Materials Forecasting

Price components

Price components-1

Material prices agreed with suppliers may have complex structures that can be broken down to components. One part of the price can be fixed and the rest of the price can fluctuate depending on diverse factors or indices agreed during contract negotiations with suppliers. ​

Price components enable breaking the material prices down to components. ​

Price components will enable a higher accuracy when forecasting or budgeting material spend when the price per unit can fluctuate based on differ factors agreed with suppliers. Price components can also increase the understanding of how the spend is expected to fluctuate, and which part of the forecast is expected to be more stable.

Please contact your Sievo representative for implementation if you would like to use this feature.
