Using the On Your Radar widget

The On Your Radar widget highlights items that require a buyer's immediate attention.

The tiles display the number of records that require action. If you select an Inventory Region, the tiles and carts display records for the selected Inventory Region. If no Inventory Region is selected, the tiles and carts display records for the logged-in buyer.

When a buyer clicks a tile, the record details appear in the widget on the left. The buyer can review and resolve the records directly in the widget.

The carts or tiles are sorted by purchase order count in descending order. The ship-to location with the highest purchase order count appears first. A scroll bar is available in the cart widget so that you can view and select from all available carts rather than only the first three.

You can also search the carts by ship-to location, item, or vendor to find records more efficiently.

This table shows the standard tiles.

Tile Description
Requests missing information This tile shows purchase requests that cannot be converted into purchase orders due to missing information. Missing details can include this information:
  • Vendor
  • Unit cost
  • Delivery date

Buyers can update the missing information directly within the workspace. Buyers can manage this group of records either in batch or individually.

For purchase requests where the Delivery Date is missing, the workspace uses AI to predict a likely delivery date based on historical patterns for the same vendor and item. Buyers can hover over the icon next to the document number to view the date.

Acknowledgment deviations This tile shows discrepancies between the purchase order and the vendor acknowledgment. This tile identifies deviation in these values:
  • Quantity
  • Unit cost
  • Delivery date
  • Unit of measure (UOM)

Buyers can perform these actions:

  • Review and resolve deviations directly within the widget.
  • Auto-resolve the acknowledgment deviations.

    This action accepts the vendor-provided values and resolve the deviation.

  • Export the displayed data to Excel for further analysis or reporting.
  • Notify the Contract Manager about contracted item deviations by clicking the provided email link.

Buyers can manage this group of records either in batch or individually.

Past due orders This tile shows purchase order lines with delivery dates that have passed and have not been fully received.

Buyers can perform these actions:

  • Review order details.
  • Export the displayed data to Excel for tracking and reporting purposes.
  • Follow up with the respective vendor by clicking the provided email link.
Buyer/Invoice messages This tile shows buyer and invoice messages.

You can view and update messages directly within the widget. The updates are automatically reflected in the application.

For each new buyer or invoice message, the workspace uses an AI model. The AI model learns from historical transactions and predicts how buyers handle similar discrepancies for the same vendor and item. For example, whether excess quantities are usually accepted, or whether cost deviations are usually rejected.

Based on this, the model predicts the likely outcome and controls the Auto Resolve button:

  • Enabled when the predicted outcome is Accept.

    Click Auto Resolve to automatically accept the received quantity or invoice cost. The transaction is updated and the message is removed from the workspace.

  • Disabled when the predicted outcome is Reject.

    Review the message and take the appropriate corrective action manually.
