Spend Analysis sample BI report is not working


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

Hi ,

We are trying to use Spend Analysis sample BI report and it’s not loading data into the report. The tabular model is deployed, and the Supplier Performance sample BI report is working as expected, even though both reports fall under Procurement. Our customer is using version 23R1. Our customer is in 23R1. Fix this command in the report does not fix the issues as well. User have access to all the sites and companies  as well.

Many thanks for your inputs on this issue.

Best regards,

Uvini

Hi ​@EntUviniG,

Is this customer using “Spend Analysis” functionality in IFS Cloud application?

This belongs to a component called “SRM” and it is dynamic to other components used in this “Procurement” report. If the customer doesn’t have “SRM” component the deployed tabular model will not contain tables related to “Spend Analysis”.

@subashfestus  Thank you for your response. We’ve noticed that the customer doesn’t have "SRM" active in the system. Is there a way to determine if an error occurring due to the component not being active? The customer would like to know the component related to the sample reports below.

Maintenance—Asset Health

Financials—Group Consolidation

Financials—Group Reporting

Hi ​@EntUviniG
There is no direct way of checking the related components.

What you can do is,

  1. Go to Analysis Models documentation - https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r2/default.htm?openpage=https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r2/DocBusinessIntelligence/IfsAnalysisModels/AboutAnalysisModels.htm
  2. Then select the model you want and go to details
  3. In details you can see the FACTs and DIMENSIONs used for that model
  4. Then open the IFS Cloud application and go to “Information Sources” and “Dimensions” pages. In the list you can see the component related to each fact or dim.

That way you can derive all the components related to a particular model.

Note that all the components are not required for a tabular model to work. Dynamic dependencies are handled and the model will work without those dynamic components.

In the case of “Spend Analysis” the full report was built using the FACT_SPEND_ANALYSIS and that’s why it didn’t work at all.
