2 ReSA Operational Insights Reports

ReSA operational insights reports can be divided into the Dashboard Reports and Contextual BI Reports. There reports are embedded within the ReSA ADF application. Ad-hoc creation of reports and dashboards in a standalone OBIEE environment is not an out of box feature.

Dashboard Reports

The dashboard surfaces information in a manner that will help users - Sales auditors - prioritize their day-to-day activities as well as quickly identify areas of concern. The dashboard allows a user to look at a consolidated view of their 'to-dos' and then directly and contextually launch into the corresponding ReSA screens to take an action. The Dashboard Reports show data across the user assigned stores i.e the stores assigned to the logged in user.

Via the dashboard, a Sales Auditor can at a glance identify store days that are still open due to errors or late polling by stores and can resolve or escalate the issues.

A view of all open transactional errors across his stores for the last seven days is available that helps him see error patterns and helps estimate his workload in fixing them. The auditor can then start fixing the errors by launching the respective ReSA screens directly from the links provided in the dashboard reports.

The over short summary report helps the sales auditor in the important function of tracking the overages or shortages at his stores and identifying fraudulent behavior.

The dashboard reports can be viewed by navigating to Tasks > Dashboard > ReSA Dashboard in ReSA.

Open Store Days Report

The open store days report indicates a sales auditor's open store days and color codes them by whether they have not been audited, not been loaded or only partially loaded for the last seven days. There are three different actions that can be taken from this report:

The user is also able to click on a 'Not Loaded Stores' bar in the report and will be contextually launched into the ReSA Store Day Search screen. Therefore, the ReSA screen will be auto-populated for all the user's store-days with a status of 'Ready for Import.'

The user is able to click on a 'Partially Loaded Stores' bar in the report and will be contextually launched into the ReSA Store Day Search screen. Therefore, the ReSA screen will be auto-populated for all the user's store-days with a status of Partially Loaded.

Top 10 Late Polling Stores Report

The top 10 late polling report gives the auditor a view of top 10 auditor stores that have the highest number of late polling days in a given fiscal month. This report shows the count of store days in status 'Ready to Import' or 'Partially loaded' per store for the Current Fiscal Month or Last Fiscal Month based on the user view selected. This will display the auditor stores that have the maximum number of data loading issues for a given time period. Based on this analysis the Auditor can contact these stores or escalate them as high issue stores to management.
