Report Data

A set of data sources is provided which make data from the Supplier Evaluation modules available for reporting. The data sources are a predefined set of queries that generate the data in XML format for processing by BI Publisher. The data sources are optimized to create discrete data sets relevant to the area being reported on, along with appropriate data from related records. For reports that are likely to process high volumes of data, the data source is located in a separate Data Warehouse database which is regularly synchronized with the application database.

The data sets can be further refined by applying filters to apply additional levels of selection criteria. These may be fixed values, or values for the user to supply when the report is scheduled to run.

The Report Data Source records are located in the Supplier Evaluation Reporting Admin area.
