Purchases Dataset Templates

The following SuiteAnalytics dataset templates are available.

Purchases (Billed) Dataset

This dataset combines fields from the Transaction and Transaction Line record types. It lets you analyze the status of bills received during the last month. It forms the source data for the Purchases (Billed) Workbook.

Key Field Differences

To create a saved search to obtain this information, all the required fields are available through the Transaction record type in the Saved Search application. However, in the SuiteAnalytics Workbook, some required fields are only available through the Transaction Line record type. You must join this record type to your dataset to recreate this search.

The following table lists key differences in fields between the saved search and the dataset:
