Process Flow Chart

1.13 Steps of Procedure

Final Data Export File (CSD)

  • Open the Final Data Export file (CSD). Concatenate ‘Invoice Number’ and ‘Product Number’ in a new column named ‘INVMTM’.
    • E.g.: CONCAT (CS3, AD3)
  • Add a new column ‘CON’ and map the ‘Biz Group’ from the MTM Input Master using VLOOKUP based on Product Number.

Steps

  • After mapping, filter out and take only these 5 options: Carepack, Consumer DT, Consumer NB, Consumer SNP, Consumer Visuals. Then delete the others.
  • In this comparison report, the key distributors considered are AEGIS, ELCOM, INGRAM, RASHI, REDINGTON, SAVEX, SYSTECH.

Steps

  • Insert a Pivot Table for the Final Data Export file.
    • Filters: Status (Select Released & Soft Error) Invoice Date (Monthly)
    • Rows: Seller L3 MDM Name (Select All 7 Disty) - INVMTM - Invoice Number - Product Number
    • Values: Sum of Quantity

Steps

Consumer ST DSR File

  • Open Consumer ST DSR file. Concatenate ‘Invoice Number’ and ‘MTM’ into a new column named ‘INVMTM’.
    • E.g. CONCAT (AH2, T2)

Steps

  • Insert a Pivot Table for Tablet DSR file.
    • Filters: Invoice Date (Monthly)
    • Rows: Disty Name (Select All 7 Disty) - INVMTM - Invoice Number - MTM
    • Values: Sum of Sales Quantity

Steps

  • Check the sum of Sales Quantity for both the files for all distributors.
  • Create a new Comparison File, name the first sheet as ‘Disty’ and name the second sheet as ‘CSD_Errors’ or ‘CSD_Dump’.
  • Add columns: Disty, INVMTM, INV, MTM, CSD QTY, DSR QTY, Difference (DIFF), Match (True/False), Error Message.
  • Copy the CSD data from Pivot and add to the Comparison File.

Steps

  • Perform a VLOOKUP in the DSR Pivot file for INVMTM from the Comparison File and get INVMTM.

Steps

  • Filter that new column in DSR and check for N/A or errors. If any errors are there, then add those data into the Comparison File next to the CSD data pasted before and make them bold.
  • Unfilter the new column and map the DSR QTY in Comparison file using XLOOKUP from DSR.

Steps

  • Calculate Difference = DSR QTY – CSD QTY. If Difference = 0, set Match = TRUE else FALSE ex:(=F2=E2).

Steps

  • Filter out only FALSE data. Then add Error message column in CSD pivot into rows and map the error message from CSD file to the comparison file.

Steps

  • If there is no data or if errors appear in CSD Qty column, change the status to Error in CSD pivot and check the Error Message and Quantity.
  • If the Error quantity matches the DSR quantity, then update CSD and DSR quantities to be the same and manually change the match column into FALSE.
  • If Error qty does not match with DSR qty, enter Not Available (NA) in CSD in the error message column.
  • If there is no data or if error appears in DSR QTY, verify whether it is a Lenovo Billings or not by pasting the MTM and Invoice Number into CSD under the Resale Tracking tab.
  • If the Buyer Name column is ‘Lenovo India Pvt Ltd’, then need to cancel the entry from CSD and enter “Lenovo Billings” in the Error Message column.
  • If the record is not present in CSD, then enter NA (Not Available) in DSR in the Error Message column.

Steps

• Filter out only N/A or errors from error message column. • Check for duplicates by dividing DSR QTY and CSD QTY, if it’s a whole number then duplicate or else QTY mismatch in Error message column. • Even duplicates can be verified manually by cross-checking the INVMTM values in the CSD data.

Steps

• For Quantity Mismatch data, again check the data in CSD by pasting Invoice number and MTM’s. • This must be done only once for all 7 distributors. • Take one more sheet in the same comparison file and name it as CSD_Dump. Add all the errors from CSD data, where status must be Error, copy the data from CSD and add into the same sheet.

Steps

1.14 Output Overview:

The final output is the Comparison File which contains fully validated and reconciled data for all 7 distributors, showing matching status and the reason for any mismatch/error found: • Primary Output: Comparison File (Disty sheet & CSD_Dump). • Key Output Data Fields: Includes Distributor, INVMTM, CSD QTY, DSR QTY, DIFFERENCE (DIFF), MATCH (True/False) & ERROR MESSAGE. • Reconciled Data: The ‘Disty’ sheet holds the reconciled sales data. • Error Documentation: The ‘CSD_Dump’ sheet captures all CSD records that were flagged with an error status.

1.15 Validation checklist:

After completing the comparison, validate the following:

• Compare the CSD and DSR Sales Quantities Distributor-wise. • Validate Duplicates by dividing DSR Quantity by CSD Quantity – Whole number indicates Duplicates, and decimal number indicates Quantity Mismatch. • Quantity Difference (DSR QTY – CSD QTY) should be 0 for True Entries. • Verify error messages for accuracy and completeness. • Cross-check that all Invoice Dates are identical between both files. • Ensure all distributor sheets have been processed. • Review duplicate, errors and mismatch cases manually.
