Your path after importing

Follow the process. Check each step.

This is a walkthrough for the product. The page describes the case; calculations and business actions run inside your DataFocus project.

  1. 01

    Open a purchase order

    Open the procurement panel from the import guide. Select PO-000035 and inspect the order, supplier, receipt and payment evidence.

  2. 02

    Calculate differences and inspect evidence

    Run the matching analysis. Compare order quantity, receipt shortages, amount differences and supplier risk, then open the cited procurement rules.

  3. 03

    Change an input and regenerate

    Edit the order quantity or amount as instructed and rerun the analysis. Changed evidence requires a new recommendation; refresh and reselect the order after each action.

  4. 04

    Follow review actions and records

    Recommendation generation leaves payment status unchanged. An authorized user can approve, dispatch and close the review, then inspect review status and audit records. No real bank payment is executed.

From a demo to your business

Bring a concrete question to the next conversation.

Confirm these differences before choosing the data to connect and the rules to retain. Example data and objects do not automatically connect to your production systems.

  • Align business IDs and quantity/amount definitions across orders, receipts and payment proposals.
  • Confirm supplier-risk sources, discrepancy thresholds and review owners.
  • Retain existing approval and data permissions. SAP names identify synthetic business scenarios, not a live customer SAP connection.
