Efficient Report Analysis Procedure

In this process, you will learn how to efficiently search for and analyze reports, identify variances, and determine if any corrective actions such as dropping and reloading specific data are required. By following these steps, you will gain clarity on how to deal with discrepancies in report data effectively.

Step 1

Begin by searching for the report using the appropriate description. This is the query you need to use.

Step 2

Once the report appears, proceed by clicking 'OK' to confirm your selection.

Step 3

The report will populate with data from the previous month. You can modify this date if necessary.

Step 4

To change the date, click on the calendar icon and select a new date, such as October.

Step 5

Select the desired date, like October 31st, and confirm by clicking 'OK'.

Step 6

Check the report to see if there are any issues. If variances exist, they will be highlighted.

Step 7

Look for red numbers in columns F and G, as these indicate a variance for the specific company and account.

Step 8

If you do not see any variances, continue to check column F and G for any discrepancies.

Step 9

If there are variances in columns F and G, prepare to drop and reload the data for the specified company code and account.

Step 10

Understand the purpose behind dropping and reloading data—specifically addressing variances in the report.

Step 11

If no variance is present in columns F and G, no immediate action is necessary.

Step 12

If a variance is detected, it is crucial to drop and reload data for the affected company and account.

Step 13

Currently, there are no variances detected. Monitor for any changes in the future.

Step 14

In the event of future variances, follow the established steps to resolve them.

Step 15

Filter the report by the company. If you detect any variance in columns F or G, take note.

Step 16

A variance in column F indicates an issue between the BW and bridge layers. Verify this to ensure accuracy.

Step 17

Determine if the variance resides in the BW, bridge, or BPC layer. Plan your corrective actions accordingly.

Step 18

A variance in column F signals an issue in the bridge or BW, prompting further investigation.

Step 19

Focus on addressing the variance first within the BW and bridge layers to rectify the issue.
