We are wondering how other Ariba customers are finding the number of invoices processed monthly. We are finding that neither Invoice Count nor Invoice Quantity in SpendViz give us a count of unique invoice numbers for a supplier. Pivot tables in Excel also do not give us a count of only distinct invoice numbers.
In one example we see this in SpendViz:
Supplier A, Invoice 1, Invoice Count 0.88888888889, Invoice Quantity 28
Supplier A, Invoice 1, Invoice Count 0.11111111111, Invoice Quantity 1
In another example we see this is Spend Viz:
Supplier B, Invoice 2, Invoice Count 1, Invoice Quantity 0
Supplier B, Invoice 2, Invoice Count 1, Invoice Quantity 0
In Excel Pivot Table we get:
Supplier C, Invoice 3, Invoice Count 1
Supplier C, Invoice 3, Invoice Count 1
Supplier C, Invoice 3, Invoice Count 1
Obviously in excel it is counting each row for the supplier.
I don't know what SpendViz is doing exactly, I just know it's not giving us the number we are ultimately looking for.
Any help is appreciated.
