ECOD Data Share – how does it work? Sales report Invoice Inventory report OPERATOR ECOD DATA SHARE
ECOD Data Share functionality Two report groups: Stock and sales reports: Forward stock (ratio of stock in retailers/distributors to average daily sales) Inventory reports (stock of products by date, products, location of POS’s) Flow of documents: Comparison of the volume of different document types (e.g. if the number of invoices is the same as the number of orders) Corretness of product EAN codes Service level (performance): number of goods ordered vs. number of goods delivered/invoices
Implementation of two reports related todocument flow: Delivery level performance – presents the order realization level by a supplier (producer) in a chosen period. Reports are generated based on order and invoice document analysis – comparison between the ordered quantity and invoiced quantity Report of sent documents Report compares the number of order documents sent to a particular partner with equivalent documents (desadv, invoice) in a given time period.
