Information sources are a combination of facts and dimensions which are structured and holds information about
a specific transaction table in IFS Applications. Currently the information sources based on IFS/Human Resources
listed below can be used when creating IFS Business Reporter reports or cubes. An overview of each information source
which is mainly based on IFS Human Resources is given
below:
General Description
Purpose of the employee headcount analysis information source is to
analyze employee headcount and turnover for defined periods. Following
information is required to be defined for the company so that headcount analysis
can be performed in BI:
- Period calendars are required to be defined in the
Period Calendar for
Statistics window.
- Optionally, you can connect HR period calendars to accounting periods
using Financial Period Connection window.
- Create a snapshot category in the
Headcount Statistics Snapshot and connect
a period calendar. Specify all the companies from which information will be
analyzed using the defined
snapshot category. Also, create periods for the analysis.
The following points should be considered when report is created.
- Filters/Repeaters should be used for Snapshot Category/Year Period (Or
Year and Period)/Company, Primary Position and Primary Job.
- If it is required to show all employee records for a given period, the
relevant information
base must be selected. This is not necessary if you use only measure items
(except sum of age) for present data (without detail view).
- Following filters should be used with the dimensions:
Age Group Class field should be filtered in order to use age group.
Employee Duration Class field should be filtered in order to use current employment duration
Employee Duration Class field should be filtered in order to use total employment duration
