Order processing time

Calculates the time span between the purchase requisition creation date (SAP table field: EBAN-BADAT) and the document date (issue date of original document) of the latest goods receipt (SAP table fields: MKPF- BLDAT).

Cycle time
requirement-purchase order

Delivery quantity flexibility

Ratio order quantity divided by the delivery quantity

Average material price

Calculates the net price across all purchase order items in the process in the document currency

Over/underdelivery
(absolute)

Calculates the average deviation between the planned order quantity and the actual delivery quantity in the process. The difference between the purchase order quantity and the total of all goods receipt quantities belonging to the order item is calculated (minus goods receipt cancelations).

Overdelivery/underdelivery
(tolerance)

Calculates the average deviation between the planned order quantity and the actual delivery quantity in the process. The difference between the purchase order quantity and the total of all goods receipt quantities belonging to the order item is calculated (minus goods receipt cancelations) taking into account the permissible under- and overdelivery tolerance.

Ship-to party delivery performance
(in percent)

Calculates adherence to the desired delivery date (SAP table field: LIKP- LFDAT) based on the document date (issue date of original document) of the latest goods receipt (SAP table fields: MKPF- BLDAT) in percent.

Ship-to party delivery performance

Calculates the difference in days between the document date (issue date of original document) of the latest goods receipt (SAP table fields: MKPF- BLDAT) and the desired delivery date (SAP table field: LIKP- LFDAT).

Function measures

Function frequency

Corresponds to the number of functions depending on the period being analyzed The measure is calculated internally. When calculating the measure, the values are added together and divided by the number of days given by the selected scaling of a time dimension.

Number of processors

Corresponds to the average number of processors who have executed a function within the set of process instances being analyzed.

PO amount in base unit

PO amount in base unit (only at the Create purchase order item function), or the negated PO amount in base unit (only at the Cancel purchase order item function).
