The Analyze Unbilled Items analytical app helps you to follow items that have reached their billing date, but which were not considered during billing.

Also, you can choose to display the number of affected items, or the total amount for the items. You can total or filter the amount and number of unbilled items by various criteria.

  • [1] Selection or unbilled Items from SAP Convergent Invoicing having a bill starting date within a selected time frame (default: within the last seven months)
  • [2] Different grouping criteria for displaying the selection of unbilled items: You can change the unit of time for the bars. In addition, you can toggle between displaying the amount or the number of the selection of unbilled Items.
  • [3] Different views for the analysis of unrated Items: You can decide for an analysis of all due consumption items (items that should have already been rated but are not due to an issue that should be solved), consumption items that will be rated in future (for getting a forecast) or both.
Visualization of the three steps, described below.

Through the tile settings, you can set the display currency, the number of intervals, and how such an interval is defined.

[1] App Settings: Here you can select the preferred display currency and define the number of displayed bars/intervals. The number of intervals not only changes the chart display, it also influences the selection of unbilled items for the analysis (for example, select items not billed in the last nine instead of seven months).
