1. E-BOOK
In this E-BOOK you will find information about BI4Dynamics standard
application areas: Sales, Finance, Receivables, Inventory, Purchase,
Payables, Manufacturing and Jobs.
2. EXCEL
All tables and charts have been created in Excel 2010. Using slicers and many
formatting features greatly improves productivity. All predefined Excel sheets
are structured by business areas and are explain the concept of how to
analyze data: starting with an overview (few sheets only) and then moving to
operational (many sheets) ad-hoc analysis.
3. RECEIVABLES
This is one of the simplest business areas that most organizations use. It comes
with standard measures like Balance, Payment terms, Overdue and more
specific area like Average Balance, Sales on Credit and Balance % of Total.
13. SALES
Sales is most common area but every organization has specifics. It is difficult
to create dashboards that fit everyone. Therefore it is important that a BI
solution is flexible and has many measures and dimensions out-of-the box.
BI4Dynamics has almost 70 measures in the sales area, some are very
common other are very ERP specific.
14. Nice and clean dashboard is very informative. Any redesign to this dashboard can be done in few minutes.

17. We can analyze all the possible combinations: Customers by item, Item by Customer, Salesperson by Customer etc.

22. SALES ORDERS
Daily snapshot of sales (or purchase) documents are taken into specially
designed data warehouse where all information are kept even after quotes
and orders are changed, processed or deleted. These data are a part of sales
cube.

27. SALES + RECEIVABLES
Connecting cubes takes a few minutes. Basic need for joining cubes is to view
data across business areas. When connecting cube into one virtual cube no
additional disk space or processing time is required.
30. LOGISTICS
The architecture of data warehouse and cubes enables or disables creation of
virtual cubes. With BI4Dynamisc design it is possible.
(SALES + PURCHASE + INVENTORY)
31. If your organization has product managers that are responsible for all aspects of product (sales, purchase and stock) then you may find such information very useful.
Excel can display more pivot tables on one sheet side by side, but these pivot tables cannot be connected by one slicer. The slicer can only connect those pivot tables that
come from the same OLAP cube. Therefor instead of using 3 slicers and changing them constantly to set the same value (Item code) for each you may use only one slicer that
effects pivot table that joins more cubes in the background.
32. Are you selling old or new items from the inventory? When you decide to transfer the purchase cost may affect your average inventory or how this may affect your average inventory value?
33. FINANCE
Reports based on Chart of Accounts are mostly used in accounting. Real
powerful business reports can be created by Account Schedules (NAV) or
Financial Statements (AX).
