    In documentation, oracle given set of files for 11i & R12? do we need to configure csv files for both version ???
    As per documentation,counter files for , CSV files req for source as 11i are not there in R12???
    please guide???

    Hi,
    To be safe, configure all of the domain value files documented in the section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19039/configsupplychain.htm#CACIEBBH
    Do this regardless of whether they state 11i or R12 in the filename. Some of the files have not changed from 11i adapters, so the filenames have not been updated e.g. domainValues_Employee_Expense_Type_ora11i.csv

  • Key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification

    Hi,
    Can someone please explain the key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification version 7.9.6.2 vs. version 7.9.6.3?
    Regards
    Vanaja

    There doesnt seem to be much diferences in terms of functionality or features. If you check the release notes..there are a few differences in the 7963 release related to bugs or packaging:
    If this is helpful or correct, please mark the response as correct or helpful.
    Here are some of the sections from the release notes:
    Section 1.3.28, "Currency Conversion Not Done in Purchase Agreement for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics"
    *1.3.32 'Days Payables Outstanding' and 'AP Turnover' Columns Are Missing*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics without implementing Financial Analytics.
    *1.3.43 Oracle EBS 12.1.3 - Contract Lifecycle Management Impact on Oracle BI Applications Release 7.9.6.3*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics for E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.3 along with Feature Pack for Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Public Sector. CLM Feature Pack is deployed as an add-on to Oracle EBS 12.1.3 for delivering an integrated acquisition management solution for federal government procurement.
    CLM functionality has introduced changes to the Oracle EBS data model that affects data extraction and loading for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. Customers with Oracle EBS 12.1.3 and the CLM feature pack must apply additional filters to exclude CLM records and to ensure that it does not interfere with V7.9.6.3 Procurement and Spend Analytics functionality.
    Workaround
    No work-around is available for this issue.
    *1.3.56 EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT Not Pulled From AP_CHECKS_ALL.CHECK_DATE for Oracle E-Business Suite*This issue affects Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. The measure 'Expense Reimbursement Cycle Time' as shipped with this release does not work in the subject area Employee Expenses – Overview. The measure uses the column EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT_WID in the fact table W_EXPENSE_F fact, but this column is sourced from AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL.EXPENSE_LAST_STATUS_DATE during ETL.
    Workaround
    This issue is addressed by Oracle E-Business Suite patch 10038359.

  • Issue with OOTB Procurement and Spend report on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F

    We are implementing OBIEE 11g on top of EBS R12. Observed today that AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBURIONS_ALL has a lot of records with PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID as NULL (This is expected as this table holds not only PO but also Expense tyoe invoices). The mapping used to populate W_AP_INV_DIST_F (SDE_ORA_APInvoiceDistributionFact) uses the PO_Distribution_ID to derive Product_ID. Thus, in W_AP_INV_DIST_F a lot of lines exist with PRODUCT_WID of NULL (which is also understable).
    My question is - In Procurement and Spend OOTB reports (for ex - Spend by Top Categories) , it is showing all records from W_AP_INV_DIST (and not filtering to Spend_Type of "PO Matched"). Thus, most of the records is going into the "Unspecified" bucket.
    Any thoughts on why the OOTB report would work like that (This is affecting any OOTB report that is built on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F and involves products or product categories)?

    Out of curiosity, why do you only maintain 13 months of history in PeopleSoft? I have never heard of this. Dont the business users want to track PeopleSoft before 13 months? With regard to your question, given you are only able to load 13 months on a full load and this is impacting the links to the correct suppliers, you can consider keeping a refresh date on the tasks that load the W_SUPPLIER_D tables. This can prevent reload for the supplier dimension. However, I am not sure how you intend to handle the other dimensions as I assume you will have the same issue. If you only have 13 months of history, BI Apps will only load 13 months of history on a full load. Also for the SCD dimensions, there should be a CURRENT_FLAG that is set to Y only for the current record and there should still be a link to the previous records where CURRENT_FLG = N. As long as your SCD is working fine, and you can prevent the reload of supplier dimension via the refresh date changes, it may work. I would advise your PeopleSoft team to maintain history..esp if they want to take advantage of Analytics and trend analysis.

  • Procurment and spend analysis

    Hi,
    Wat are dashbords required for Procurment and spend analysis only?
    Thanx

    If you want to see the out of box dashboards and reports for Procurement and Spend, then you can look at Product Guide, it lists all the dashboards and sample reports. However product guide is not available via Metalink3 or oracle site, you can try requesting it via your account representative for Oracle.

  • Procurement and Spend in R12

    Hi all,
    We have installed OBIA 7.9.6 and informatica 8.6.1 in windows.
    We sucessfully full loaded the projects module.Now we are trying full load for procurement.But the problem is its running almost 15 hours after sucessfully finishing 115 tasks.
    I dont know the exact problem.Can anyone please guide me to identify the problem?
    Thnx

    In DAC sort the complete or running tasks by time in the lower part of DAC when you select tasks sub tab. thos will hel pyou see that tasks take the longest, then look for their log and see what SQL is running then have DBA look at the SQL level performance.

  • OBIA 7.9.6.4 all report for Procurement and Spend show same row of dat

    Hi,
    I have created an OBIA 7.9.6.4 environment. Loading data from Vision Environment of EBS provided by oracle. The issue I am facing after loading data when i check the report all the reports show same data across all rows. please find screen shot below
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Unable to past the screenshot on the forums message box. I have checked the filters and other stuff. Let me explain with an example wht is happening.
    For example I have a report Spend Trends by Items, where I have Year, Spend, Year Ago Spend, Chg Year ago Spend, Change due to price, Change due to quantity, etc.. columns
    This report is showing different years but for rest of the columns it is showing of total of all the year. Like for year 2003, 2004,2005 etc we spend 10,20,30 receptively. so report should show it as 2003 - 10,2004 - 20 & 2004 -30.
    But it is right now showing like 2003 - spend 60, 2004 - spend 60 & 2005 - spend 60.
    Thanks

  • OBIA 7.9.6 and procurement & spend analytics

    Hi,
    I have a doubt on OBIA 7.9.6 application.
    My OLTP source is JD Edwards.
    They bought Financial analytics, procurement and spend analytics. As we knew that financial anlytics come with prefixed star schema, informatica mappings and DAC settings.
    They also wanted to implement procurement and spend analytics. My question is whether we need to develop a customised data model or Oracle would provide the data model, then our job is to map with OLTP?.
    I am not sure on this. If anyone knew this how to proceed on this, pls let me know.
    Thanks

    Ahmed,
    if you dont want to edit any mapping, then you can populate the data into some un-used column in the ETL and change the name of the column in RPD.
    Though this is not a good approach, but you can try this.

  • SRM - Spend Analytics

    Hi Folks, Can anyone pls shed some light on spend analytics. We are in SRM 5, wat are other req to implement Spend Analytics? Where can i find some usefuly tips/guide on implementation and watz de timeframe to implement this reporting tool?
    Regards
    TGB

    Hi Ganesh
    Spend Analytics, or Spend Performance Management (SPM) as its now referred to is an analytical tool for analyzing procurement data. I am the dev architect of this product and can try and answer any question you might have.
    SPM comes with a extractor starter kit for ECC, SRM and eSourcing.
    This application is based on BW backend and Flex frontend.

  • Looking for best approach to implement all ERP and CRM Analytics

    There is a scope to implement all the ERP Analytics (HR, Finance, SCM, Procurement & Spend, Project) and CRM Analytics (Sales, service, Marketing, Contact Center, Price, Loyalty ). Just want to know the best approach for impelmentation of both ERP and CRM analytics
    1- Work with two separate containers with separate execution plan for ERP and CRM
    2- Work with one container with one execution plan for both ERP and CRM
    3- Work with one container with separate execution plans for both ERP and CRM
    Also, Please let me know if there any standard document to achieve both the implementations simultaneously.
    Thanks!

    Answer, as always, is "it depends". Here is a list of things to consider w the 3 approaches you mentioned:
    1- Work with two separate containers with separate execution plan for ERP and CRM
    This is a good approach if you plan on a different frequency of ETL loads for each container or different timings. As long as the targets are the same and you run INCREMENTAL loads from both containers, then the refresh dates will be updated. This is usually a good idea if your ERP and CRM users have different timing and load requirements and do not want to "interfere" w each other. You will also have DATASOURCE NUM ID uniquely defined for each system so the data will be segregated. By default, each source system will have its own container
    2- Work with one container with one execution plan for both ERP and CRM
    This is good if you are ok w the same exact load time for both. Its a simple approach and all tables will be loaded at the same time to avoid any confusion.
    3- Work with one container with separate execution plans for both ERP and CRM
    Not sure what the advantage of this option versus keeping them in separate containers (like Option 1).
    I would also review the secion in the DAC guide for "MultiSource Execution Plans"

  • What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

    Hi Friends
    What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
    Regards
    Chinna Krishna

    Hi Chinna
    Here are my two cents on this questions
    1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
    - Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
    - Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
    - Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
    - Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
    Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
    Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
    2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
    SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
    Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

  • Spend analytics 2.0

    Hi all,
    I understand implementing Spend analytics if you are merging SAP and non SAP data into SAP BW.
    However, if all your data is coming from SRM and ECC what is the value added? There is an OSS note to be applied to get some additional Z* extractors into ECC/SRM but wouldn't reporting from std. BC would do just the same thing, i.e. combining data from contracts, POs, invoices and AP.
    thanks

    Hi Joseph
    I am the dev architect for SPM (Spend Performance Management) application. This also used to be known as Spend Analytics. I can try and answer any question you might have for this application.
    Collating data from multiple sources and classification and normalization of that data is just the starting point. A very important one, because without a normalized data set (at least Suppliers, Categories and Regions), there is no good way of getting that strategic view on the data set. Once you have a consilated data set you can then build upon it to gain further insight into your Spend data from a higher level analytical point of view.
    So not only you can have a complete view on your Spend data by /* dimensions (like Supplier, Category, Item etc), but also, the next level, answer a lot of additional analytical questions like is my purchasing optimized across suppliers, whats my off contract Spend, what is my Spend variance. The level after that is bringing in budgeting/forecasting information, tying it in with Spend projects (if purchasing orgs are set up for project driven purchasing methodologies) and finally add elements like supplier risk analysis and commodity price tracking.
    Additionally integration with other transaction systems allows for closed loop actionable analytics.
    Voodi's post above is correct, especially when it comes to IT/admin side of the application. BW expertise is a must and Spend training/implementation exposure is a plus. But for the business user/end user this is a much simplified application, especially compared to our previous offerings (the BEx portfolio). We believe that a novice user can use Spend and rampup pretty quickly.
    So, as you can see, SPM covers a lot more than just consolidation of Spend data. Source of data (SAP systems  and others) are your starting point.
    Hope that answers.
    Regards
    Rajesh

  • XSA 2.0 - Spend analytics datasources

    Hi all,
    In Spend Analytics, I see that the datasources are delivered as a transport package under customer namespace. And in all the documents I have come across till now refer to as the datasources spitting out flat files to a folder, where the BI will pick the file from. In our installation, We wont be having any 3rd party source system or sending out files to 3rd party for data cleansing, normalizing etc. So on a whole, we will have only one source system which is SAP and all the data cleanisng will be done within either BI/ECC.
    So now my question is, instead of making my extractors spit out flat files, Can I generate datasources out of them and use as normal ECC datasources? CAN I? If so, will these datasources support delta?
    Thanks,

  • Spend Analytics 2.0 Compatability

    Does anyone know if the configuration identified will work?  Is the data flow correct?  Is there a better path that should be laid out??
    R/3 4.7 and R/3 4.6b both are non Unicode and both feed a BI 7.0.3 Unicode environment
    BI 7.0 has BI 7.0 Security enabled as well as Spend Analytics required content
    SA 2.0 sits on top of BI 7.0 and data transfers back and forth
    BI 7.0 connects to EP 6.0.
    Does SA 2.0 work with EP 6.0?
    Do the R/3 sources require upgrading to Unicode?
