Reports — what you can ask for

Every analytics report Norma can run, with a prompt that triggers it — so you don't have to guess.

Ask in plain language — Norma picks the report and runs it against SAP. Each row shows a prompt that reliably triggers it. Filters (a customer, a date, a period) are optional; if you leave a request ambiguous, Norma will ask a clarifying question rather than guess.

Some reports come back with a chart alongside the table. The Chart column below says what it plots; a dash means that report has none.

Receivables & payables

Report	Ask something like	Optional filters	Chart
A/R aging	“show me the AR aging” · “who owes us money”	customer, as-of date	Open value and days overdue, per invoice

Credit exposure	“credit exposure across customers”	customer	Exposure vs. credit limit, and balance vs. open orders, per customer

Operations

Report	Ask something like	Optional filters	Chart

Stuck orders	“show me the stuck orders” · “which sales orders are aging open”	—	Days open, and value tied up, per order
Unhedged demand	“unhedged demand” · “which items are short of stock for open orders”	—	Unhedged demand, and demand vs. stock and inbound, per item

Why some reports have no chart

A few reports return more than one row for the same period — revenue by month, by quarter, and by year each return a row per period and customer and salesperson, and gross margin returns a row per item and month. A chart drawn against the period would plot the same month (or year) many times over, once per customer or item. Rolling those rows up to one point per period is the report’s job, not the chart’s, so these reports don’t declare one — a deliberate choice, not a gap. If you want revenue charted over time, ask for revenue year-over-year, which already rolls up to one row per year.

Delivery summary is a different case: it returns a single row (one count, one total), so there’s nothing else to plot it against.

Saved (named) queries

Report	Ask something like	Optional filters
List named queries	“list the saved queries” · “what named reports do we have”	—
Run a named query	“run the AR summary report” · “run the saved AR summary query for Acme”	the query’s own filters

Tip: for stock coverage and delivery summary, name an item/customer or say “all” — otherwise Norma will ask which one you mean.
