Reviewing and adjusting variables

If you have never worked with Knowledge Model variables before, you can find the documentation here. Currently, the app comes with:

  • Mandatory variables that must be adjusted and reviewed.

  • Optional variables that may need to be adjusted and reviewed.

To Validate

Type

Mandatory / Optional

Comment

FORMULA_SCOPE_PR_OPTIMIZER

KPI

Mandatory

This acts as a global filter on the entire app. Sets the scope of requisitions displayed on the app. For instance, requisitions not yet approved, without a deletion indicator.

VARIABLE_LIST_OF_EXECUTION_GAPS

Variable

Mandatory

The list of inefficiencies that are within the scope of the app. This works as a filter, where the remaining requisition not included on this list will fall under ‘Requisition without Inefficiency’.

VARIABLE_CONTRACT_LEAKAGE

Variable

Mandatory

Provides a contract recommendation for those requisitions where EBAN.KONNR is null if found. This defines the filter for the smart sensor.

VARIABLE_UNUSUAL_HIGH_PRICE

Variable

Optional if included on VARIABLE_LIST_OF_EXECUTION_GAPS

Calculates a standard deviation of the price of the requisition. If current PR exceeds that price, it displays the maximum recommended price.

VARIABLE_UNCERTAIN_SUPPLIER

Variable

Optional if included on VARIABLE_LIST_OF_EXECUTION_GAPS

Find another supplier to use on the requisition, based on the company code, material group and plant.

VARIABLE_CATALOG_FUZZY

Variable

Optional if included on VARIABLE_LIST_OF_EXECUTION_GAPS and ML Enabled

Works with the Machine Learning Script to propose a catalog recommendation to a free-text requisition.

Before publishing for the first time, you must review this variable with the customer’s SAP IT Business Partner and Process Owner.
