PA Addtl Info

The PA Addtl Info dimension is a degenerate dimension of the Procurement Analysis model. This dimension contains attributes relating to the delivered or invoiced purchase order for additional analysis. Data buckets have also been defined and added to the hierarchy that determine whether the supplier delivered early, on time, or late, based on the difference between a PO's requested and actual delivery date and time.

You can modify the ranges defined in these data buckets in the Procurement fact space to cater to different business and reporting needs. See the Birst Online Help for more information on data buckets.

See Source and data models in Infor M3 Analytics for M3 CloudSuites Administration Guide for guidelines in modifying Infor-delivered content. Changes to data buckets are overwritten and should be reapplied when the solution is updated.

By default, these ranges are defined in the solution:

Date Accuracy – Act vs Req in Days - using the measure Days Diff – Delivery vs Requested

  • Early 2 - deliveries that are three or more days earlier than the requested date
  • Early 1 - deliveries made 1 to 2 days earlier than the requested date
  • On Time - deliveries made on the requested date
  • Late 1 - deliveries made 1 to 2 days after the requested date
  • Late 2 - deliveries made 3 to 7 days after the requested date
  • Late 3 - deliveries that are more than 7 days late

Date Accuracy – Act vs Req in Hrs - using the measure Hrs Diff – Delivery vs Requested

  • Early - deliveries made earlier than the requested date and time that is accurate up to hours
  • On Time - deliveries made on the requested date and time that is accurate up to hours
  • Late - deliveries made after the requested date and time that is accurate up to hours

Date Accuracy – Act vs Req in Min - using the measure Min Diff – Delivery vs Requested

  • Early - deliveries made earlier than the requested date and time that is accurate up to minutes
  • On Time - deliveries made on the requested date and time that is accurate up to minutes
  • Late - deliveries made after the requested date and time that is accurate up to minutes

The attributes listed in the table are part of the custom subject area. M3 Analytics contains more attributes in the default subject area. For a complete list, see the mapping document in KB 2015457.
