The New Invoice KPI Dashboard

In order to provide more transparency and a more modern workplace for processors evaluating invoice processes, we have developed the maxflow® mining dashboard as a tool for process optimization.

The product interface of the dashboard consists of a selection function (e.g. period, document number, etc.) and underlying tiles for the individual evaluations (e.g. cash discount utilization). The respective tiles display context-dependent data based on the selection characteristics entered.

The dashboard is a user-friendly application developed in responsive design based on modern UI5 technology .

By clicking on one of the tiles, the evaluated data is shown in a graphical display and the KPI's can be customized according to individual information needs through the selection mask.

The Following Evaluations Are Currently Available:

Evaluation of the Generated Documents

This evaluation displays the total number of documents generated for the selected period (quarters in the figure). When opening the tile, a stacked bar chart appears, which is divided by color into FI and MM documents. The display interval (days, weeks, months, quarters or years) and further selections (e.g. fiscal year or vendor) can be adjusted at any time as required. By clicking on the bar charts, the respective documents are listed with detailed information such as document number, amount and vendor.

Evaluation of Documents in Workflow Steps

The documents with normal priority as well as the escalated documents are sorted in this analysis according to the respective workflow processing steps. The stacked bar chart, which opens when clicking on the tile, can be customized using various selections (e.g. workflow steps or time period). A list can also be called up here, which displays a detailed view of the documents (e.g. amount, vendor, company code, etc.) in the respective workflow step.

Evaluation of the Cash Discount Claim

The highest possible, as well as the actual amount of the claimed cash discount of the documents are compared with each other in this evaluation. 75% of the highest possible cash discount is specified as the target (45 in the figure). In addition, a line chart shows the cash discount utilization over time, whereby a detailed view with information on the cash discount utilization is also available here by clicking on the respective data point in the line chart. The display interval and other selections can also be set as desired.

SAP Integrated Data Analysis of Processing Operations

In addition to evaluations of lead time behavior and discount utilization, month-end closing operations are also supported. Statistics, such as the achieved dark posting rate, show documents that have been posted in SAP after a text identification without any further processing step. In this way, the degree of automation of the processing procedures can be checked and optimized.

With the payment outflow analysis, concrete statements can be made for the documents in the workflow, e.g., in which amount at which time the payment outflow is to be expected.

maxflow® mining also enables a period-related (year, quarter, month, week) or organization-related (company code) display of the requested data in list formas well as in graphical form. The previously time-consuming compilation of overviews for any necessary accrual postings is now a thing of the past.

Other features of maxflow® mining

In addition to evaluations of lead time behavior, cash discount utilization and document statistics, among other things, on achieved throughput rates (documents that have been posted in SAP after OCR document recognition without any further processing step), month-end closing operations are also supported.

By means of the outgoing payment analysis, concrete statements can be made regarding the documents in the workflow, e.g. as to the amount and the date when a the payment outflow can be expected.

maxflow® mining enables presentations of the requested data in list form or also on graphics, e.g. a period-by-period (year, quarter, month, week) or specific to the organisation (company code). Any previously elaborate compilations of summaries for any necessary accrual and deferral postings are therefore things of the past.
