ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (AP) DATA AND REPORTING Jennifer Littlefield February 2019
AP REPORTS Circumstances Currently an AP star is on the BICCs project list, so certain fields are available in Cognos but relationships have not been established in the system All the fields are available in SAP but some of the fields are not accessible through a standard tcode Both central and business offices would need access to different reports Reports were needed as soon as possible 13

DATA MODULES AND DATA SOURCES Data Modules are source objects that contain data from data servers, uploaded files, or other data modules, and are saved in My content or Team content . 19
DATA MODULES AND JOINS Joins in Data Modules allow standard relationships to be established 20
QUERIES Joins in the data module are being used so they don’t need to be added to the queries in the report itself. 21
HELD CHECK REPORT A prompt page with the five filters from the requirements was added, as well as grouping on the vendor number so a reprompt could be added into the report itself . 22
